Would the Kurd's have released him to us? Doubtful.

Re: America did NOT capture Saddam Hussein...
No, no, no. The Kurds THOUGHT they had captured Saddam, it turned out they had captured this guy instead. Now the Kurds are in trouble for manhandling their fake Saddam.Originally posted by Sava
before you guys mistake me for Baghdad Bob (Iraqi Info Minister)... you should read the following reports. The Kurds captured Saddam.

All the reports had american troops standing over his hole in the ground with grenades in hand so it seems very unlikely that the Kurds found him first (especially when you consider that it was just blind luck that they found his exact hidey-hole anyway).We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

Where was he captured again exactly?
Wasn't it in the Sunni triangle South East of Bagdad near Tikrit? If that is the case, it is several hundred miles from any Kurd controled territory or forces. Doubtful it was the Kurds.
And Sava, the only thing more ignorant than believing everything the media says is not believing anything the media says.

Its not impossible that they were among the intel leads (obviously we got info from somewhere and they might have been part of that...and actually there was a trail of intel, tracking people until closer to his inner circle.) They might have also helped with securing the area. Nothing wrong with that.Originally posted by Spiffor
TCO, Sloww:
Would it be impossible that the Kurds did find Saddam first, IYO?
But the drugged Saddam held for a month and then dumped in a hole? Puh-leez! Burden of proof is on the conspiracy theorists. This reeks of people who want to come up with some desperate Buxh-hating. Sounds like the same group that thinks Bushknew about 9-11 and let it happen.Comment

has all the above been discredited and no one is willing to call me an idiot for not knowing that?Originally posted by Whoha
Thats because the rumor was that one of his wives turned him in.
Plus some things don't match up, he apparently had 750k in dollars, 2 assault rifles and a pistol.Comment

Well, you see, that is why there was a "?" mark and an "if that is the cas" there. I should have known better than to aske a not sarcastic question here.
It is 75 miles north of Bagdad is still 150 south of mosul, and Kurd territory is just north of that.
Maps are fun aren't they Mercantor

You dont have to look at any maps to realize that Tikrit (Saddam Hussein's hometown) is not in Kurd (the people he gassed) territory.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI
