Good advice

"If the Kurds had Saddam why would they drug him and leave him somewhere where a sympathizer might help him?"
Using the same logic(?), one might well wonder about Ray LaHood's comments to the Bloomington Pantagraph two weeks before Saddam's capture.
BLOOMINGTON -- U.S. Rep. Ray LaHood held his thumb and forefinger slightly apart and said, "We're this close" to catching Saddam Hussein.
Once that's accomplished, Iraqi resistance will fall apart, said the five-term Republican congressman from Peoria who serves on the House Intelligence Committee.
A member of The Pantagraph editorial board -- not really expecting an answer -- asked LaHood for more details, saying, "Do you know something we don't?"
"Yes I do," replied LaHood.
Soooo, no danger of tipping off Saddam that we were "this close" to bagging him?
GOP Congressman Ray LaHood, who it happens sits on the House Intelligence Committee, and who is a darling of the right wing and Karl Rove in particular, bragged to one of his hometown papers just under two weeks ago that we were about to get Saddam.
Connect the Dots. Is LaHood a psychic, or what exactly did he know?
Good question.
