Ex-Sgt. Nadim Abou Rabeh, of Lebanese descent, was quoted in the Saudi daily al-Medina Wednesday as saying Saddam was actually captured Friday, Dec. 12, 2003, and not the day after, as announced by the U.S. Army.The supposed "Marine" then claims that Saddam himself fired at the troops, who shouted back to him in Arabic to surrender. Abou Rabeh claims that a "military production team" later fabricated the film of Saddam's capture. He does not indicate what the reason would be for such a fabrication, though I'm sure moonbats far and wide would cite this as more ammo against the Bush Administration."I was among the 20-man unit, including eight of Arab descent, who searched for Saddam for three days in the area of Dour near Tikrit, and we found him in a modest home in a small village and not in a hole as announced," Abou Rabeh said.
"We captured him after fierce resistance during which a Marine of Sudanese origin was killed," he said.
I guess this sort of propaganda is what passes for news at UPI.
I wonder what happened to healthy skepticism and research. Oh. I forgot. It went out the window when an opportunity to make the military look bad showed up.
