8 Years Gone, Saddam Hussein Still Don’t Surf

Check out Saddam Don’t Surf – a song dedicated to Saddam Hussein

by Johnny Punish

Yesterday marked the 8th year anniversary of the capture of Saddam Hussein. To mark the occasion, Lt. Col Steve Russell who allegedly led the team to capture Saddam wrote a book called “We Got Him”

When U.S. forces allegedly exterminated Osama bin Laden in Pakistan on May 1, 2011 (wink wink), the world cheered not only the death of the 9/11 terrorist mastermind but the unmatched might, skill, and perseverance of America’s military elite.

It was a brilliant example of history repeating itself; less than a decade earlier, the capture of Saddam Hussein, a triumph of military strategy in and of itself, opened the door for the most recent and essential victory in the fabricated War on Terror.

It should be noted that unofficially, the Pentagon has an amazing group of scriptwriters that make sure that the stories told all fall somewhat in line to ensure that the narrative makes cents.   It’s business as usual, take no offense.

Now what we have here is the official riveting account of a grand human saga that tested every element of character and fortitude: the six-month manhunt that ended at a hole on the bank of the Tigris River, and the blow-by-blow plays of the actual raids that netted Saddam, culminating in the electrifying quote heard around the globe, “We Got Him!”

Now it should absolutely be noted that in the special ops community it’s well known that Lt. Col. Russell’s team was a cover for the real folks that “captured” Saddam. While I can’t divulge my source, I can tell you that this person I call “Spit Ball” was there and Spit Ball personally spoke with and “befriended” Saddam.   You should know that while Saddam was a horrible dictator, personally, he was a bit charming and frankly surprisingly friendly and very coherent.  He knew the game being played.  Please note that Spit Ball s still working in the theatre of operations and thus cannot compromise operations.

I mean, come on folks? Did you think you were going to get the real story from an official source? Really? Did you forget that those who gave us this fabricated war gave us WMDs and Joe Wilson’s Yellowcake to eat in Nigeria at the Valerie Plame Restaurant?  As the late Philosopher and comedian George Carlin said “I don’t believe anything they tell me” and I think that fits.

Hey, you should know that the real guys who took out Saddam need their cover for various reasons and so we get an official account of the story from the pre-approved State Department and Pentagon list. It keeps the narrative of the history they want us to believe in line with their agenda.

Hey, the info you get is controlled.  Don’t take it personally okay?  It’s just the way things are and have been for a very long time.

Now it should be noted that no other event in Operation Iraqi Freedom caught the attention of the world like the hunt for and capture of Saddam Hussein. Square in the middle of the search, living in Saddam’s hometown of Tikrit, it’s claimed that Lt. Col. Steve Russell and his men of the 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division were there. Okay, good stuff.

This book is packed with “rare photos” and “insider information”, We Got Him! chronicles the day-by-day search and the successes and dead ends as regular and special-operations soldiers tore into Saddam’s social networks.

This is the definitive official account of this major historical event and of the sacrifice that made it happen. It also provides a rare look at the enemy side of the action. With his extensive journal notes, combat reports, and painstaking research, Steve Russell has preserved the story as only someone who lived the experience can do. Yep, and it’s pure fiction and it will make a great movie someday! Ya, hear me, Spielberg!

Purchase the book on Amazon.com

In addition, I also have recorded a song called “Saddam Don’t Surf” that is dedicated to the long-gone dictator. Check it out here in the video below. Enjoy!
