"Saddam is being driven around Iraq in a white, Chevy Caprice."

[alcuno]

I meant to post this earlier but I was at mass praying for an end to this thing.

Anyways, Dr. Bob Arnot was on MSNBC this morning doing a "report" about how Saddam travels throughout Iraq. That a convoy of unmarked cars blocks off an area and voila, there is Saddam. The best part was the assertion that Iraq is filled with "this type of car" and that's why it's so hard to find him.

Am I the only one who heard this nutball?

1. Damn... my mom used to drive a white Caprice

Good thing she's been dead for 5 years or she might find a Predator-launched stinger missle tailgating her!

[DS1]

2. We should employ some Grand Theft Auto 3 players

He'll be upside down and on fire in minutes :evilgrin:

[Bob3]

3. by Elvis I assume?

People should not sniff glue before going on tv.

5. It's true. It's a white caprice that has been modified....

...with a Romulan Cloaking Device.

[Ernesto]

10. Is Saddam

a low-rider?

[qanda]

4. I heard that too.

Is the media getting desperate or what? More than once I heard them say the bombing last night was a "good thing". That is utterly disgusting. Now, Saddam is driving around in a Chevy Caprice-- give me a break!

[Liberal Veteran]

6. Darn...see if it had been a Bronco, we would have no problem...

...finding it. But a caprice? Impossible!

[hlthe2b]

7. Gee, I'da thought a white Ford Bronco.....

:evilgrin:

[Cocoa]

8. what's the significance of that model?

Is it some kind of "cab driver" stereotype?

[alcuno]

9. I think it's like here - a police car.

[htuttle]

11. No wonder they can't catch it!

Why, it probably has a cop engine, cop tires, cop brakes, cop steering, etc...!

[jokerman93]

12. Ha! n/t

[Desperadoe]

13. Just like The Blues Brothers

Oh, that's right..........their 's was black.......never mind.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

14. hey, at least he is buying American

just like his weapons

[Scott Lee]

15. And here's the kicker: Saddam is paying less for gas than you

Report that one, Bobby.

16. BBC's John Simpson's guess:

<<snip>>

WHERE is he? Shortly after Baghdad fell, I met General Ali al- Jajjawi of Saddam's Republican Guard in a darkened room in the newly liberated city of Mosul. A day earlier he had been defending Mosul against American and Kurdish troops; now he had come over to Saddam's enemies. They trusted the general. He had, my Kurdish host told me, often intervened to save the lives of Kurds during the worst times of Saddam's repression.

We talked about the war, and about his former master. Was Saddam still alive? "Yes, I'm certain he is," said al-Jajjawi. "He wouldn't kill himself, and he would never surrender: he's not that type at all. He wasn't killed by the bombs the Americans dropped. We know that."

But he's on the run now? He's in hiding somewhere?

"This, you must remember, is his background: he knows what it is to be hunted."

When did he escape from Baghdad?

"I don't think he did escape from Baghdad. I think he has been spending most of his time there. He was there when the Americans entered the city."

17. Like someone said here before: The US hasn't even be able to find

one of Saddam's doubles. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if Saddam is somewhere watching everything on TV and listening in to FOX News. That would be the best source of US intelligence to tell what this administration might do next. FOX is such a puppet of the administration and so transparent, I can tell what is going to happen next.

20. The Holy Father, John Paul II, would be victorious over Saddam.

And then he'd say a prayer for him.

[htuttle]

21. Popemobile, hands down.

I heard it has a nitro tank.
