And what have you done this year?

I tried to stop a corrupt war-monger, but I failed.

They tried to help me.

Grandpa! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

The grey haired man shown escorting Saddam does in fact look like a Kurd.

Interesting.

propaganda photos are much more effective than text... that's why corporate news has been so successful...

btw, I'm still laughing at all the dopes who genuinely believed that bearded ***** was any threat to the United States...

I read an article on Debka ( an Israelian newspaper ) that stated it is quite possible that Saddam was being held prisoner possibly for the US reward money. Somehow the US found out about his location from his captors? and decided it would be in our best interest to get him ourselves.

More like a Langleyite or some other variant.

The "Kurds" celebrate.

Any reason why you had to put in this remark, mr All American Boy?

Is that manjuice in his eyebrow (first pic)? Soldier joke... .

[Gangerolf]

awesome pics! I've seen the first one before but the soldier's face was blurred, in fact I pposted it in a thread here some time ago. He looks really thin. The "saddam relaxes" pic made me laugh out loud

There was a rumor or claim, denied by the Americans, that the Kurds participated somehow in the capture of Saddam. One of the theories was that they drugged him and left him in the hole to be found by the Americans later. Thus the reference earlier in this thread to Saddam looking like he was drugged.

These photos seem to disprove the theory of Kurd involvement.

Erm, that grey haired dude holding onto Saddam's right arm is not wearing anything like US Army uniform.

Could be a Kurd, could equally well be undercover spook - impossible to tell without further analysis.

Face looks familiar though - I'll try trawling some sites...

It was a job well done, whoever did it.

EDIT:

Here's a couple of pix to compare with that guy. Haamamin could be a younger relative... other pic is for general comparison of style.

I caught Osama Bin Laden, but it won't be announced until about October of next year.

Have you not seen Bitterfrost yet? Or any of Curt's other sterling work in the Civ 2 Scenario Forum? Or even any of the work he has done to help other scenario designers?
