Saddam Hussien MAYBE captured in Tikrit tonight
 
CNN is reported that a raid ocurred in Tikrit and it's speculated that Saddam Hussien may have been captured.

At this point, they are still waiting for confirmation. But i hope to God it's true :D

Celebratory gunfire being heard in Baghdad.

I can't belied he stuck around Tikrit. Also Chabli (I have as much trust in him as I do with a con artist, wait a minute, con artist has more trust then him) reportedly said that he was captured with a fake beard.

How sad for Democrats.. running out of things to campaign on:D

Hopefully this is a turn for the better in Iraq. I don't see how it couldn't be. I hope this moves the Iraqi people closer towards peace and prosperity.

Yep, it's true.

And they said not a single shot was fired. It's somewhat eerie watching the footage on CNN.

starang21 12-14-2003 09:38 AM

so when are we going to look for bin laden or find the WMD's?

mmcat 12-14-2003 09:48 AM

supposedly they shaved his beard and paraded him in front of other prisoners. welcome to the rest of the world, you bastard.

hehe unbeliever:D

I'm sure these things will also come in time. At least, this gives me reason to think that the administration still has these goals in front of it.

For now, be happy that we're making progress!

I like watching the dancing in the streets.. over there in the quagmire.

latest gosip:

one of Saddam's wive was the one that turn him in.

Another interesting fact - Iranian TV was the first one to broke the story. I wonder if Iran had anything to do with it.

Praise the Lord!!!


God bless the troops, those who found him, those who didn't, and those who made the supreme sacrifice.

This must be how the Allies felt when they heard that Hitler was dead!

You took the words right out of my mouth. Praise the Lord

Now as Prime Minister Blair said "this is the Best Christmass present that I could ever get" is right on also.

I was so happy this morning to wake up to this news! Maybe now our boys (& girls!) can come home.......

that rat bastard deserves everything that happens to him from here on out. I just wish we still believed in drawing and quartering people.

I share your sentiment, but I hope not. We can't leave Iraq until:
1) a census is completed
2) a constitution is adopted
3) a legitimately elected government is installed

Lol that might have been even worse, being that Detroit and Dearborn are VERY close to each other, and almost all of Dearborn are Iraqis who fled Saddam.

Saddam's Living Conditions: Poetic Justice
 
For all who ever said that Saddam is nothing more than a rat, you might have been literally wrong, but you were not far off the mark. He was living in a hole in the ground, and yes, there were rats (and mice) there. For someone who was obsessed with his cleanliness, and the cleanliness of those who met with him, his lifestyle devolved to that which fit his character like a glove.

I love it. I also love the fact that he was captured without a single bullet being fired.

I'm soooooo excited too!!!! Wow.. the history books will be forever rewritten for the people of Iraq and the rest of the world :)

Peaches-n-Cream 12-14-2003 12:36 PM

The video of his capture/arrest is eerie. I am glad that he was captured.

PM_Mama00 12-14-2003 12:44 PM

I'm watching the video of his "cell" and the medical examine. When he's just sitting there, it looks like he's thinking "wow, I'm fucked."

sorry for the language... but I think in this case it is acceptable.

ZTAngel 12-14-2003 01:26 PM

Yay! Finally!

This gives hope that we'll catch our most wanted political figures. I was beginning to think that some of these evil dictators (Bin Laden, Hussein, Hitler and many others) were so elusive that we would never catch them. We finally were able to catch one of our most wanted, evil people of the world! I wonder what the US is going to do to him. If they're going to treat him well or not. I'm all for sticking hot prongs up his butt for the rest of eternity. Mwhahaha!

Maybe now we can catch Bin Laden.

SO SO true! Caught Hussein...Economy turning around...if we get Osama...Democrats in droves will be committing suicide!!

Its so sad that they've based everything on hating Dubya.... and I know they hate him even more now!!

Can you tell me which democrats said we should vote out Bush because we hadn't caught Sadaam yet? If they said that they are stupid and shouldn't be running. Just because democrats were complaining things were not going well in Iraq doesn't mean anything. Its still true even without Sadaam free anymore. We lost more soldiers after the "conflict" than during it. If Sadaam LT that directed most the attacks is captured I think we will be in better shape for less US casulties.

The1calledTKE 12-14-2003 03:19 PM

For the people that think the democrats didn't want Saddam captured, your wrong. Why would we want him still in power? For politics? Thats just sad if you think people take politics that seriously they would want him free. Its not a Republican defeats Democrats thing some of you are making it out to be or wish it would be. Democrats wanted him captured too no matter how much ya'll wish we didn't.

it's funny that people choose to ignore that. like catching him was really going to mean anything in the big scheme of things. republicans just want a scape goat when the real criminal is still out there. how about you talk when bin laden is found? or when we find WMD's? maybe then you can say we've accomplished something. he has already been out of power. so what does this all mean? he'll stand trial, maybe be executed. does that change the situation in iraq? him being free sure as hell didn't.

No, its just that the casualty rate was so incredibly low that it was easier to have more casualties after the conflict then during it. Bumper sticker slogans are a poor substitute for rational analysis.

what on earth does this mean? if we lost a lot of soldiers during the war, does that lessen the impact of the high number of soldiers who lost their lives after the war? is this a numbers game to the republicans?

"well, we lost so few soldiers while we were fighting, we can afford to make up for it afterwards."

what kind of bullshit is that?

So you're alowed to raise the specter of the numbers game, but someone else isn't? That's known as hypocracy. If measuring deaths in numbers is wrong, than so is comparing the total number of those who died during the conflict, and those who died after it. You also seem to enjoy putting words in other people's mouths and misinterpreting what was said. A true sign of a quality education. Well done!

we're still losing them day by day at an alarming rate, so what on earth are you talking about? is there even a point to your posts? regarding me making this a numbers game, you don't like to hear the truth? another person who is blind to what's going on in the real world. the fact that we've lost more now than before is a simple fact...you're the one trying to make comparisons between the two. you talk about my education, and try to make this personal. does that mean you really don't know shit and you're just trying to pull it out of your ass? what does that say about you?

I know of one for sure that is from Iraq. Not directly but his family. There are two Arab twins but they're from Africa. And there's a few others that are Lebanese, Chaldean, Arab... I get them all mixed up.

Again, you are allowed to talk about numbers, but others aren't. You are a complete hypocrite. "The truth?" You don't know "the truth", and you don't have access to "the truth." You're insistence of your awareness is actually a sign of your profound ignorance. If you don't understand the motivation for using geopolitics to resolve the manufactured hostility that is directed against the United States (and judging by your posts, you don't), stop and educate yourself.

who ever said you can't talk numbers? look up the numbers yourself. you're just trying to talk shit right now because you can't refute anything that i say. you're trying to pull all of this irrelevant bullshit out of your ass and trying to ignore the fact that bin laden is still out there. and the FACT that we've losing soldiers day by day. are you going to ignore that or are you going to actually open your eyes? my profound ignorance? this post is laughable, because all this hot garbage you've posted to me has revolved around attacking me and not my posts. that means you don't have an argument and you're just trying to spend your time typing. the posts you conjure are complete and utter bullshit and that's why you can't come up with anything outside of "you don't know anything because i said so."
