CNN anchor now reports news conference due at 4 AM PST/7AM EST

[Cap Huff]

"I'm waiting to hear some reaction from any of the 9 DemonRat-president wannabees... "

Me too! It's going to be difficult for them. They have to appear to be as happy and jubilant as the average American would be (not to mention the average Iraqi), while knowing that this erodes their one potential campaign issue. They painted themselves into the box and I am not the least sorry for them.

[stlnative]

I can hardly wait! (I hope they look as corny as MJ's mugshot!)

[Grampa Dave]

Picture of GW, shortly after he heard this news.

[bonesmccoy]

Mitchell: Controversy about how they acquired Saddam's DNA.

[KantianBurke]

Hope that pig Saadam spills the beans as to the whereabouts of Captain Scott Spechier! I bet Scott's family are really hoping for some info.

[OXENinFLA]

ME TOO............Perp walk for Saddam!!!!!!!

[Grampa Dave]

"Jim Anlge on FoxNews said Bush is planning to go to church as usual..."

That sounds like a great POA for all of us. Go to church and Thank God that another mass murderer has been caught!

[Miss Marple]

They have had his DNA for some time. I believe they acquired it from his mistress.

CNN anchor: Clearly morale was spiraling down ... what do you think it will be like today?

CNN Reporter: I think by judging the discussion with people in the streets, there is great understanding that this is a pivotal change in the history of the country. We don't see a large presecne of people. As you can hear just over my shoulder there is a long burst of AK 47 fire and it hasn't stopped over the past few minutes.

There was alot of dejection when 300 troops decided to resign. The mood is changing fast.

Anchor: Is this happening now... the people finding out?

Reporter: This morning nobody had a sense that something was in the works. About an hour and a half ago I started to notice people milling around. In the past 30 minutes the news is spreading like wildfire. People are coming out of their shops and greeting fellow Iraqis.

[RobFromGa]

CNN is now asking whether we had a search warrant to go in the basement.

not really but how long until...

[BurbankKarl]

"American Forces are not 100 miles from capturing Saddam"

[TomGuy]

CNN Reporter in Badgad: Word apparently began spreading like wildfire about 1.5 hours ago. [So, the news is breaking there as we see it here.]




Apparently captured with very little resistence. [So much for fighting to the death. Goes to prove, you can never trust a terrorist. lol.]

[Miss Marple]

AP says they had to dig him out of a hole he had dug in the basement to hide. Then they shaved his beard off!!

[bonesmccoy]

CNN reports: Mood of joy on the streets... but things in Tikrit could turn for the worse. We're not expecting trouble here in Baghdad. People here haven't exactly heard.

Anchor: People celebrating in Baghdad. But Jamie MacIntyre reporting that operations in Iraq not over yet.

[Cool Guy]

BUMP! Here is the live thread.

[stlnative]

don't forget they have it from the 2 sons we killed off.

[Quilla]

My mother just called to see if I'd heard the news, she just doesn't understand freeper networking capabilities. I could tell she was crying and all she could say was Thank God. Thank you Lord!

[Miss Marple]

Yes, you're right.

[bonesmccoy]
