I don't remember reading this. And you earlier claimed that Debka claimed that Sadam is Syria. Which I don't remember them saying either. Are you just making this shit up?
So this makes him an emplyee of the US government? By what logic? False logic?
Scott,
You?ve got to remember that in dealing with the left on these sorts of issues, any kind of association, even the exchange of cliqued friendship platitudes by diplomats, turns into overwhelming cause and effect links, and ?proof? of major American moral failings.
The fact is that the U.S. ?tilt? towards Iraq was insubstantial compared to the size of the conflict or the contribution of the Soviet Union, France, China, the Arab States, and many others.
Not that it matters to anti-US hooters. Find a meeting, note a declaration, turn up a banker, quote a secondary source of bias, and ?bang? you?ve got a regime propped up solely by sinister American manipulations. Then a myth is established, and it is regurgitated ad infinitium.
btw, majorspunk, in the real os intel community debka is at best considered a joke and at worst strongly suspected to be a deliberate disinfo campaign. Broaden your horizons and learn a thing or two. Becoming religiously connected to a source is really, really stupid. With debka it's just plain idiotic.
Remember, debka where the greatest intel of the war was reported in a multi-part series, complete with the city under baghdad and the remote control bases that burrowed under the dunes. I mean, how in the world can you take anything seriously from a source that posts such ridiculous BS?

You still haven't shown me where they said Saddam is in Syria or that he's in Belaruss.
Yeah it does, genius. Those two are the only two posts made by 'giant' that had the words 'saddam' and 'syria.'
Get with the program.
You started a thread called Fake News. In it, the first post was:

2. So Fox is interviewing someone about Saddam and they keep talking about how Saddam has 'returned to power over and over' and 'Iraqis don't need to worry about saddam regaining power as he has done so many times.' My question: When the hell did saddam lose power and then regain it? That's right: never. So how about we just deal with the facts, mkay?

Not at all. I did a google search and this is what I found: (bold: my emphasis)
Is Saddam in Syria?
From DEBKAfile War Diary - Day 15, April 3, 2003
April 5, 2003, 1:58 PM (GMT+02:00)
DEBKAfile?s Exclusive Middle East sources have tracked down the top Iraqi leadership?s bolt-hole. It is a large 1,600-room luxury resort with 600 meters of private sandy beach in the Mediterranean coastal town of Latakiya called Cote d?Azur De Cham Resort, prepaid and chartered in toto by Baghdad.
The group may include Saddam Hussein or his sons, but this is not confirmed.
DEBKAfile and DEBKA-Net-Weekly reported that Saddam and at least one of his sons made a beeline for Minsk, Belarus. Then, in late May, our sources reported signs of his presence in Libya. Since then, discreet American checks discovered that the bird has flown from there too ahead of pursuit. On Monday, June 16, his personal aide and confidant, Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti, was picked up while traveling from Damascus through Syrian Arab tribal territory to Tikrit, provided evidence of the first leg of his boss?s flight. Found on him were several dozen blank Belarusian passports ? evidence that top Iraqis have been traveling to Minsk via Syria.
You really are totally and completely insane. Keep arguing with your visions.
I just posted the reference to Saddam being outside Iraq. Anyone with a grade 3 education can discern from reading that article, that is it presented as speculation. So how is it that you, oh learned one, infer that Debka said Saddam is in Syria?
Exactly. You are taking speculation (clearly presented as speculation) as cold hard fact. And then you claim that this speculation is presented as fact. That's academic dishonesty.

I'm not taking it as fact. I'm saying they are consistently wrong. That is the opposite as fact.
As to whether what they do is speculate, that's unknown.

That's false. And you know it.
Things presented as fact ARE fact. Things present as speculation ARE speculation. You trying to muddle what is presented as speculation as though is it presented as fact, again just goes to show the dishonest nature of your attack.

It doesn't surprise me you don't know what I'm talking about. You can't even a post for a day ago straight in your head.
