Lurchybaby Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I call shenanigans.... Details of said capture are likely classified (aside of what was released to the media) and unless the guy involved is an idiot, going public with said knowledge is akin to sealing your fate (ie. he would likely disappear mysteriously or else end up at Ft. Leavenworth breaking rocks with the rest of the morons). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
episode Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Whether this article is true or not (i dont doubt it though)it's all a propaganda ploy... a PSY-OPs example. Once again the big and brilliant American's come to the rescue. So the big and evil Saddam is found hiding like a school girl in a hole underground instead of standing up for his country and fighting with his men. It makes Americans subconsciously (or consciously) think "wow... what a coward... we're so much better than he and that country is" This article brings more credit to him while hurting the american reputation once again. Plus theres the question... why is it taking so long to bring him to trial? The infamous scott peterson "who-the-hell-cares-in-the-first-place-eff-j00-mass-media" case didnt take this long (i dont think). And then there's the speculation that Saddam has cancer and will die before coming to trial... although Ive never read anything to support this other than a speculative article. Bottom line -- dont be taken in by propaganda. 585593651[/snapback] Very humorous, considering that you were taken in when you believed this story. Problems: 1) (Biggest) Marines do not work in 20 man teams. Always multiples of 8. 2) Finding him in a hole is less thrilling than "our marines captured him after an intense shootout". 3) The hole wasn't a well, there is video of the inside and it definetly had room in it, it wasn't huge or anything, but wells go deep, not down 6 feet and across. 4) He was captured the 15th. 5) Why would the army have announced his capture if marines had done it? 6) The capture was done by the Raider Brigade of the army, not marines.

Everything has a conspiracy theory. Some of them could be true, however, the fact that morons believe stupidity like this one will discredit the others.

Most of the people on here seem quick to take anything that is said negatively about the US as scientific fact. Not everyone, of course, but it sure seems that way sometimes. If it were true, it'd definitely be interesting. Hey, btw, I was once a member of NASA and we never went to the moon. I helped fake the video in the desert with my friend and his brother-in-law over a weekend. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think episode points are made quite well. Consider the fact that the story comes from Lebanon. Not exactly the BBC or the AP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said "i wouldnt doubt it though" meaning it wouldnt surprise me if it WAS true... wouldnt surprise me if it WASNT true either. I wasnt really trying to explain the facts of the article but more the mentality behind news reporters and the government. basically i think everything you just mentioned in 1-6 was kind of useless to counteract my point... whether youre right or not (i wouldnt doubt it though) :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as there is a big, rich, powerful, sweaty guy living somewhere in the world, someone's going to be saying how bad he is and blame everything on him. Even if a toilet backflows in a local shopping mall, it would still be his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
