This is the most telling evidence that Saddam Hussein was NOT captured. There was another astute observation (do not know the name of the individual who first posted), regarding the color of 'Saddam's hair when he was pulled out of the rat hole.

Saddam was noticeably graying, and it was said that it's a well-known fact that he died his hair. After four months in the rat hole his gray roots would have been very obvious. The sender questioned whether they might have given him a quick dye job before photographing.

Palm Trees Never Lie
By Mohammed A. Hegazi

The palm tree, known to botanists by the Latin name Phoenix dactylifera, is an ancient tree
that has been grown in Iraq for thousands of years. There is about 450 varieties
(cultivars) in Iraq. They vary in size, shape and colour.

The date fruit is initially green and astringent. It is not edible until it reaches full size and its colour becomes red or yellow, depending on which variety. The fruit is then fleshy and crunchy. Some varieties ripen earlier than others. We will assume for the purposes of this discussion that the yellow dates in the photo belong to the latest of varieties. We would then assume that the photo would have been taken in late September at most, when the fruit begins to change colour from yellow to brown.

If the fruit is not harvested, it would fully ripen and fall off the tree in October. By the end of October, it would be a miracle if any of these yellow dates would still be staying on any palm tree in Iraq.

However, the Pentagon spin machine is trying to dupe us all by telling us that this photo was taken in December. It shows two American soldiers lifting the lid off that elaborate "spider hole", where they claim they have found Saddam Hussein. Behind the two soldiers, a palm tree stands proud bearing its delicious yellow fruit. If that spin machine can lie against the testimony of that poor innocent palm tree, then that spin machine is capable of any fabrication.

They also gave us an account of what happened on that day, and how the cowardly Saddam Hussein begged for his life. But they never told us why they failed to capture that historic moment on video. It would have been quite convincing if we could hear the man or see him with his hands up, like we have seen that proud palm tree showing its yellow dates. Instead, we could only hear the yelping of Jewish presenters on CNN and Fox News gloating over the successful operation. We also heard later of how Ariel Sharon spent the night in Baghdad celebrating with his American subordinates.

If they lied about the time they captured Saddam Hussein, it would be sound to assume that the story they are telling us about his cowardice is sheer fabrication. The man would never surrender unless he was gassed before they grabbed him. He would have been aware of the level of American brutality as demonstrated in the rare photos slipping off Guantanamo Bay. He must have thought over again and again his reaction to that critical moment, while contemplating in his hideout. His reaction would surpass that of his brave sons, who commanded respect holding at bay several hundred cowardly US invaders, before their bodies were riddled with bullets, beyond recognition. Such would be the bravery of a man of the calibre of Saddam Hussein.

Only one simple detail escaped the Pentagon spin machine: Palm trees never lie.

War with Iraq - Again? Introduction and Overview. Reading this first will put the other items in this section into perspective. —Jackie Hussein Did NOT Gas the Kurds! New York Times: "The United States Defense Intelligence Agency investigated and produced a classified report, which it circulated within the intelligence community on a need-to-know basis. That study asserted that it was Iranian gas that killed the Kurds, not Iraqi gas." Zionist Campaign for War with Iraq In Revisionist Perspective by Paul Grubach "Why should the U.S. go to war to serve Israeli-Zionist interests? Why should mostly non-Jewish White, Black, and Hispanic Americans — who make up the vast majority of the U.S. armed forces — have to risk their lives for the Jewish state of Israel?" America's Ultra-Secret Weapon - "dial-a-hurt" HPMs are man-made lightning bolts crammed into cruise missiles. The Directed Energy Directorate at Kirtland has been studying how to deliver varying but predictable electrical pulses to inflict increasing levels of harm: to deny, degrade, damage or destroy, to use the Pentagon's parlance. HPM engineers call it "dial-a-hurt." The Mother of All Wars - SHOCK and AWE MUST READ! "Ullman is ready to use every kind of weapon to create shock and awe. He once said it might be a good idea to use electromagnetic waves that attack peoples' neurological systems, "to control the will and perception of adversaries, by applying a regime of shock and awe. It is about effecting behavior." Pentagon Eyes Mass Graves (for U.S. Soldiers) Denver Post: "The bodies of U.S. soldiers killed by chemical or biological weapons in Iraq or future wars may be bulldozed into mass graves and burned to save the lives of surviving troops, under an option being considered by the Pentagon." View from Baghdad This following article is the reality that 99% of the world sees about the Iraq situation and the U.S. role. This war is not over oil. It's about ownership and control of Earth's resources. . . this proven technology could provide an ABUNDANCE of cheap, clean energy worldwide, virtually overnight, if it was not ruthlessly suppressed with inventors bankrupted if not murdered. War - No Matter What! Dr Richard Perle stunned MPs by insisting a "clean bill of health" from UN chief weapons inspector Hans Blix would not halt America's war machine. Evidence from ONE witness on Saddam Hussein's weapons programme will be enough to trigger a fresh military onslaught, he told an all-party meeting on global security. Saddam's Bodyguard Warns of Secret Weapons A source close to Mr. Sharon said, "Sharon intends to shatter the growing anti-war movement. He plans to call all those European leaders who are wavering . . ." Is this the ONE witness Richard Perle needed to trigger a fresh military onslaught? Seeds of Destruction What keeps Bush from planting evidence of WMD in Iraq? Think about it. Bush is willing to lie, cheat and steal in order to forward his agenda to destroy Iraq. To his disappointment, inspectors have found NOTHING thus far except some crated-up, 20 year-old warheads. Hardly evidence of an active program for WMD. U.S. Demands Iraq Show Cooperation by This Weekend What can we make of this convoluted and contradictory piece? The headline says 'this weekend' (2-15/16). In the body of the article we read: "Mr. Bush did not mention Friday as a turning point. Ms. Rice said he had set no deadline for action by the Security Council." Much of what we read in the controlled media is designed to 'shape public opinion' and generate fear and anxiety. Stay close with God in peace and love. —Jackie U.S. Documents show embrace of Saddam Hussein in early 1980's From the National Security Archive "The declassified documents posted today include the briefing materials and diplomatic reporting on two Rumsfeld trips to Baghdad, reports on Iraqi chemical weapons use concurrent with the Reagan administration's decision to support Iraq. . .

Turkish Parliament Refuses to Accept G.I.'s in Blow to Bush ANKARA, Turkey, March 1 - The Turkish Parliament today dealt a major setback to the Bush administration's plans for a northern front against Iraq, narrowly rejecting a measure that would have allowed thousands of American combat troops to use the country as a base for an attack. Bush and 2 Allies Seem Set for War to Depose Hussein N.Y.Times - 3-17-03 BUSH: "Saddam Hussein can leave the country if he's interested in peace. You see, the decision is his to make, and it's been his to make all along on whether or not there's the use of military." Bush Planned Iraq Regime Change Before Becoming President Sunday Herald, United Kingdom, September 15, 2002 "A secret blueprint for US global domination reveals that President Bush and his cabinet were planning a premeditated attack on Iraq to secure 'regime change' even before he took power in January 2001...'This is a blueprint for US world domination -- a new world order of their making. These are the thought processes of fantasist Americans who want to control the world. I am appalled that a British Labour Prime Minister should have got into bed with a crew which has this moral standing.'" Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces, and Resources for a New Century Written in September 2000, before George W. Bush was President, and prior to September 11th, this document is the report the Sunday Herald (U.K.) called, "A blueprint for US global domination." Among other things, the report establishes missions for U.S. military forces to: "defend the American homeland "fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous theatre wars "perform the 'constabulary' duties associated with shaping the security environment in critical regions "transform U.S. forces to exploit the 'revolution in military affairs'" U.S. Awards Deals for Post-War Iraq "A USAid spokeswoman said that the companies were chosen because of their proven ability, and that it was a policy to use US companies for projects funded by the American taxpayer." U.S. soldiers will bomb the Iraqis to hell, then the "American taxpayer" will pay, and pay, and pay to rebuild what they destroyed. Except, you can't rebuild or re-animate dead babies and men and women, not even one, nor the half-million Iraqis expected to be murdered. Oh, yes. . . the sanitized war-term for murder now is "collateral damage." Just Another Staged Baghdad Rally? They told us that the Iraqis were dancing in the streets, celebrating at the thought of being "liberated." Could it be they lied to us again?
