Memri present the conspiracy theories surrounding Saddam’s capture.
Here’s a taste:
An editorial in the Iraqi daily Al-Shira’ titled: “The Servant has Fallen in the Master’s Cage” surveys Saddam’s policies from 1963 until his capture, and suggests that he implemented these policies at the behest of his American masters. According to the newspaper, Saddam waged the war against Iran in 1980 to extricate the U.S. from its difficulties with Iran. The occupation of Kuwait in 1990 gave America and Israel “everything they were dreaming and not dreaming of,” including elimination of the Palestinian problem, deepening the American presence in the Gulf to ensure American control over the sources of Arab oil, allowing Israel to penetrate Arab capital, and eliminating the regional role of Iraq and creating an imbalance of power between the Arabs and their enemies so that Iraq is delivered as a free gift to America.
The last service provided by this “super servant” was to surrender as “a free service to America, and Bush in particular, in disgraceful pictures that would be used as stickers in the election campaignÖ.”
Read the whole article. I guarantee you will at least chuckle.
