How many times have we captured Chemical Ali?

[Generic Other]

I swear we already had him in custody. Sort of like Sheik Omar guy in Afghanistan.

Am I just not paying close enough attention?

1. So did I

:shrug:

[goobergunch]

2. Two or three times that I've heard (n/t)

[Generic Other]

3. I see the Brits killed him on April 7th

According to CNN:

DOHA, Qatar (CNN) -- The notorious Iraqi general known as "Chemical Ali" -- Saddam Hussein's cousin who allegedly ordered a deadly chemical weapons attack against Kurds in 1988 -- was killed in a coalition airstrike on his home over the weekend, U.S.-led coalition officials said Monday.

4. That was the first thing that came to mind

Then I remembered during the "war", or "major combat operations", or whatever, Chemical Ali was reported DEAD. Then he was captured, and now I suppose he's been captured again. Makes the head spin. Next we'll hear that Saddam's sons have been killed.

5. I thought we just recaputred his casket or something!

I LOVE that the media is spinning this as some sort of victory. Giminie Christmas! It just seems kinda silly to be able to kill someone and claim victory, and then when morale is low later on capture him.

They thought they killed him 4 months ago, but now they've captured him alive. They're gonna have to float one helluva lot of pictures of him alive holding newspapers and stuff to convince the Iraqis that he's really in custody.

Gah.

7. Someone has some extra cards up their sleeves!

Every player in the game has a Chemical Ali card in his hand. Aces and eights. Time to overturn the card table and start a saloon brawl! Duck under the bar, Miss Kitty.

Smash! Crack! Blam!

16. Generic Other funny you should say that ....i remember bush saying

during his campaign "Well ya know the Gop has always had more cards in their deck",...and at the time i thought - isn't that an admission of cheating?...

12. I especially liked squatter's

new pronunciation of remnant the other day. Take note! It is now pronounced rem-in-nent.

9. So did we take Basra again

I remember we did that a few times at the beginning of the invasion. Maybe we should do it again. IMO, the troops could use a pick-me-up.

[ameriphile]

10. I can't help but think...

...that the Iraqi Information Minister is behind this all.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

11. it depends on just how stupid bush thinks we are!

[Hubert Flottz]

13. Maybe that Was Ali Babby they got this time?

The 40 thieves were already working for Bushco!

14. Deja Vu Ali

says "I'll be baaack!"

[Nevernose]

15. Didn't we actually DNA test the body?

And prove "conclusively" that the corpse was Chemical Ali?

[Hubert Flottz]

18. The odds were 1 in 128,675,890,901,007,099 it wasn't Ali's DNA!

It's getting so you can't believe a damned thing you read in the funnypapers!

[Yupster]

17. I thought Saddam

was the one with all the doubles.

[maggrwaggr]

19. "Zombie General Captured!!"

Why isn't this the top story in the WORLD right now?

And people wonder why we don't believe anything the Pentagon says.

Is he dead, or isn't he?

It was a Zombie Jamboree
Took place in a Baghdad cemetery
It was a Zombie Jamboree
Took place in a Baghdad cemetery

Zombies from all parts of Iraq
All of them keep coming back
Chemical Ali wouldn’t behave
See how he jumping out of the grave
And they singing

Back to back, belly to belly
I don’t give a damn, I done dead already
Oho back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree

[Generic Other]

21. All together now!

Doctor Germ she sing and shout
Since Chemical Ali is back out

Back to back, belly to belly
I don’t give a damn, I done dead already
Oho back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree

22. Gee...he died on April 7th according to CNN...

http://us.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/04/07/sprj.irq.chemical.ali/

I guess Chimpboy better tell CNN to get that story the hell off the web and make it fast. What BS,they pull dead guys out of their ass when they need a boost.

Hell,I can remember when it happened and SNL or someone making fun of the Ali part of it. Damn,guy died twice...
