(2003-12-15) — The U.S. 4th Infrantry Division soldier who discovered Saddam Hussein’s hiding place Saturday gave credit today to the Democrat National Committee (DNC) for inspiring the discovery.
“We had cordoned off Wolverine 1 and 2,” said the unnamed soldier referring to the code names for the search areas. “But we couldn’t find the HVT (High Value Target). Suddenly, I remembered that the Democrats say this war is all about oil. Well, oil is under the ground. So I start shovelling sand like I’m digging for some crude and up through the ground came a muttering dude — Saddam that is.”
Despite the sudden success of Democrat policies, DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe has sent a memo urging Democrats to refrain from gloating.
“It would be unseemly for us to crow about this,” wrote Mr. McAuliffe. “We should continue our two-pronged patriotic approach of expressing support for the troops, while reminding them that they’re risking their lives for a lie.”

DNC gets Saddam capture credit
Scrappleface had this little gem about the “treason is patriotic” party’s role in the capture. A grunt inspired by the Dems claim the war was about oil, did some digging. Here’s a musical quote by him, “But we couldn’t find…
