Sen Roberts Says US Forces Tightening Noose On Saddam-Fox
(sorry – no link)

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--The chairman of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee
said Monday the U.S. task force scouring Iraq to locate Saddam Hussein is
tightening the noose on the fallen Iraqi leader and he "predicts good news in
the near term."
"I would expect real progress in the near future," said Roberts, who recently
returned from a visit to Iraq where he received an intelligence briefing about
the U.S. operations in the war-torn country.
Roberts said he couldn't identify exactly what area in Iraq the U.S. task
force has been honing in. "When you are dealing with intelligence of this
nature, it's hard to be that precise,"
he told Fox News.



If memory serves me, this same critter came out last week and said that we’ve got the proof of WMD but we can’t release that info because it has a double top secret label on it. This guy has been out in the sun waaaaayyyy too long.

1. But he can't give us any information on the noose itself
Any details on the length of rope or the composition of the fibers of the noose that will surely snare Saddam remain classified, and so he'll remain mum on the topic.

Whatever, Pat.

5. Sounds like Saddam has been placed on "double secret probation"
"double secret probation, sir?"

this sounds like more bullshit big talk, the likes of which we've heard about WMD, bin Laden, etc. for months and months. When, oh when will the people get the truth?!!
