You know, and i dont know if its just lack of support for the war, or what, i reckon i believe it.

They have lied so much related to the war.
That rescuing of that soilder was fabricated, and so had many other public things, such as the staging of the statue falling, all as a media war to gain support. It makes sense theyd create a story of sadam hiding in a hole to help erode perceptions help among supporters of him, of him being a strong leader.

but who knows

Saddam was captured by Task force 121, no Marines are in Task force 121.

When Saddam was captured no major Marine units were in Iraq. the left in September of 03 , and did not come back until January of 04.

I tried searching the Marine Locater, which has been has been a requirement to sign up for a while now, he is not there.

I searched the Marines Uniform tool board looking up who was approved for a Combat Action ribbon( he would have gotten if he was shot at) He is not there either.

I also looked up who was killed around that time.

No Marines and no one of Sudanese decent killed around that time.
