special ops in Iraq

Capt Wardrobe | 11.04.2004 09:10

what if?

special ops?

what if...

The Kurdish had Saddam captive in the hole...

"Yvonne Ridley [who] reported in last weekend's Sunday Express that Saddam Hussein was actually captured by Kurdish forces who then drugged him and abandoned him for U.S. troops to find after brokering a deal. In 2001, Ridley was imprisoned for 10 days by the Taliban while on assignment in Afghanistan."

Democracy now [gatekeepers of the left!}


and they offered a ransom to the US of say 50 million USD...

but the US renage on that when Saddam is wheeled out...

and ask the kurdish forces to do some dirty black ops-
like for instance :


kidnap members of countries thinking of pulling out...


giving the political weight to those regimes
as to appearing not to capitulate to 'terrorists'
while actually still in reality being aggresive occupiers...

what if...???

ABC news has really summed it all up...



"In Tokyo, hundreds of people rallied outside Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's office on Saturday, demanding the withdrawal of Japanese troops from Iraq to save the lives of the three Japanese hostages.

"The lives of people are more important than the Japan-US alliance," the demonstrators chanted as they were prevented by police from crossing the street to the prime minister's official residence in the centre of Tokyo.

Ken Takada, who organised the rally, said his group had collected 100,000 signatures to urge Mr Koizumi to yank his troops from Iraq.

He said another rally would be held on Sunday.

A former leader of the Japanese Red Army militant group also urged the kidnappers to spare the lives of the Japanese hostages, making his plea in an open letter in Lebanon's As-Safir newspaper on Saturday.

Masao Adashi, 65, said the three were "not government officials, but members of a non-governmental organisation opposing the policy of their government" in Iraq.

But the prime minister has vowed to keep his soldiers in the southern Iraqi city of Samawa despite the hostage crisis."

"We must not yield to terrorists' foul threats," he said on Friday.

"The prospect of some city father walking in and making 'Joe Jihadi' give himself up are pretty slim," said Lt.-Col. Brennan Byrne, commander of the 1st Batallion, 5th Marine Regiment.

"What is coming is the destruction of anti-coalition forces in Fallujah . . . they have two choices: Submit or die," he told reporters. "

from the same story:

"In the north of the country, the head of the Iraqi Red Crescent's Irbil office, Barzan Mantik, and his wife were attacked and killed Saturday in their car in the nearby city of Mosul, the International Committee of the Red Cross said.

The German Foreign Ministry said two security agents from its embassy in Baghdad have been missing for several days. It gave no further details, but Germany's ZDF and ARD television reported that the missing were two Germans, 38 and 25 years old, who were ambushed Wednesday while on a routine trip from Amman, Jordan, to Baghdad.

ARD said the two were agents with GSG-9, a counterterrorism unit trained in freeing hostages and other commando missions."
