An alleged ex-Marine who claims to have participated in the capturing of Saddam Hussein says the public version of his capture was fabricated, United Press International is reporting.The Pentagon denies it, of course. This could be a complete hoax, or it could be something big. Stay tuned for further details.
Former Sgt. Nadim Abou Rabeh was quoted in a Saudi newspaper as saying the ousted Iraqi president was actually captured Friday, Dec. 12, 2003, and not the day after, as announced by the U.S. Army, according to UPI.
"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," the UPI report quoted Abou Rabeh as saying.

Good work my dear Achates, this certainly is an interesting development; however, I am interested more in what you did not say than in what you did say.
You, like the corrupt and ineffective Democratic National Committee to which you kowtow, offer damning evidence (damning that is, if it all is true) while leaving out the more damning analysis needed to put the evidence in proper context. The real question is not what did the U.S. do? The question is not even why did the U.S. do it? The question, Achates, is how.
How could this fraud, if it were perpetrated at all, be perpetrated i.e. in what ways did the power of the class in favor of the war intervene in the creation of this situation? How does this lie enhance the general mythology constructed by the powerful class to serve their needs? I'm talking about the narrative of Saddam, of the war, of the entire American juggernaut. How do these intertwined narratives obfuscate the real problem of the relation of capital to labor? Answer these questions, Achates, answer these!
You see noble Achates, you cannot fight the system of economic/political organization which created the suffering in Iraq until you understand properly the role these narrative of power have in the maintenance of the state, the market, etc. As Gramsci said, first the war of position, then the war of movement. You, like the corrupt and ineffective Democratic National Committee, want to fight the war of movement without even admitting that the war of position exists. That is why the Right has kicked your collective ass in the war of position, because they are the only ones fighting it.
Yours for the revolution,

Indeed, what do I think of Walid Shoebat? Well, I have no love for apostates from my faith, so there you have it summed up. You might consider this a closed-minded perspective from a Muslim who swears to protect Israel over any Arab nation (unless Makkah and Medina are in danger--I'm still a Muslim, dude), but the Islamic world needs less "reformers" and traitors and apostates as we need true Muslims who can stand up and say: NO, you nutjobs, the Arabs are wrong, stop killing the Jews and White folks!
Shoebat in my earnest opinion is an imbecile not worth discussing, a sell-out who could not read in Arabic the Holy Qur'an, and would not read it english the same book, so he turns around and accepts Christendom as his saviour? It simply is Preposterous. He is an example of what the sickening Arab mindset is doing to the Muslims. Unless more of my people are ready to speak out against the insanity and hypocrisy what is the genetic characteristic of the Palestinians and the Arab-Nazi (Ba'ath) movement, more idiots like Shoebat will emerge. Muslims ARE NOT wrong, but Arabs are. And since Shoebat is Arab, I prove my point.
Shema Yisrael.
