Ex-Marine Says Public Version of Saddam Capture Fiction

http://www.wokr13.tv/news/national/s...0-21C8818788D4
United Press International

A former U.S. Marine who participated in capturing ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein said the public version of his capture was fabricated.

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.

"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.

He said Saddam himself fired at them with a gun from the window of a room on the second floor. Then they shouted at him in Arabic: "You have to surrender. ... There is no point in resisting."

"Later on, a military production team fabricated the film of Saddam's capture in a hole, which was in fact a deserted well," Abou Rabeh said.

Abou Rabeh was interviewed in Lebanon.

Who say what. They control the media... so

stevo · 03-09-2005, 05:11 PM

Why lie?

Furious_Male · 03-09-2005, 05:12 PM

The gun fight in a modest home would have made a good story as well.

It's the U.S. Government. Do they even know how to tell the truth?

FunForOne · 03-09-2005, 05:18 PM

OH crap. Here we go again. I bet they didn't even capture him.

roly · 03-09-2005, 05:36 PM

if that story is true i guess the reasoning behind it was to make saddam look like a coward cowering in a hole rather than a hero (to some of his own people and the arab world) for putting up a battle before being arrested.

Same writer as the " Jessica Lynch Story: a true hero " ....

Now you are ruinning the " feel good" effect for Americans. That's not nice. It makes you an " America Hater " ....

Jessica was blasting her gumns, Saddam was in a spider hole and Baghdad shines with an overflow of electricity ....

Interesting, but who really knows who to believe?

Triple 6 · 03-09-2005, 07:21 PM

remember the saddam imposters?

you guys ever seen that footage of some iraqi that was working at a gas station, looked dead, DEAD ON like saddam but wasnt him - i seen this shit on CNN, it was crazy.

i dont know what to believe anymore

except

ah fuck it nevermind

fuelcell · 03-09-2005, 07:25 PM

UPI is the UPN of news reporting . . . not a very reliable source. Besides, the Iraqis themselves claimed at the time that they, not the Americans, discovered Saddam and lead the Americans to him. Link? Damn, I can't find shit in my booikmarks anymore.

PHPdude · 03-09-2005, 07:45 PM

stuff like these really makes everything hell a lot more confusing

Doesn't USA have a policy of NOT sending soldiers of Arab descent to fight in Iraq, or any Arab country for that matter?

emthree · 03-09-2005, 10:10 PM

I dont really believe that story
But I'm pretty sure all the media releases were partially fabricated and "powdered up" for release to the people

I really don't give a shit either way. They captured him.... that makes me happy enough.

jamesonxx · 03-10-2005, 01:36 AM

How many guys look like Saddam anyway?

Kevsh · 03-10-2005, 01:39 AM

Hmm, I wonder how his "trial" is going anyway? Maybe I've been in a cave but I haven't heard anything about it for a long time.

PenisFace · 03-10-2005, 01:40 AM

The modest home story with Sadam shooting is much more believable than the hiding in hole story. Sadam doesnt seem like the kind of guy that would hide in a hole... Judging from his history, I'd say the modest house story is the real version of events.

read what he is saying and it makes sense. First off he is a former marine "Ex-Sgt. Nadim Abou Rabeh" (name sounds pretty arabic) . he says : "and we found him in a modest home" Why the use of the word "modest." You can tell this is propanda by the wording... "We captured him after fierce resistance." "Saddam himself fired at them with a gun from the window of a room on the second floor." This is totally trying to show that saddam is a warrior etc etc bla bla. this is totally worded to be slanted. Not saying there is no truth in it but I doubt it.

no big surprise there

stev0 · 03-10-2005, 02:58 AM

Would it really surprise you? They haven't been telling the truth the entire war...

Rui · 03-10-2005, 03:41 AM

I wonder how some of you find this "suprising"...the "hole" thing had fake written all over it...

wargames · 03-10-2005, 03:53 AM

course they didn't
wasn't there stories about him having lookalikes that would go on walkabouts and sutff??
I bet it's one of those actually

hehehe but I got too much of an overactive imagination

soo.. no one pay attention to what I say
I am most probably yapping away for no reason

but it keeps the voices out of my head!

dready · 03-10-2005, 09:30 AM

I'm not surprised... that hugely popular image of the Iraqi people pulling down his statue was staged too. Have you seen the zoomed out images?

Thank you FOX NEWS!

dready · 03-10-2005, 09:31 AM

Manowar · 03-10-2005, 09:33 AM

hardly suprising

First time i'm seeing that.

spunkmaster · 03-16-2005, 12:43 AM

This was debunked as a hoax last week !

Pornwolf · 03-16-2005, 12:43 AM

Do we even expect the truth anymore? I don't think so.
