Rita on Fox said Saddam had a long gray beard and lost a lot of weight, and not wounded.

It's 5 am in Dallas. I was so excited I called my brother.....her was up and watching a movie.


Thank heavens for insomniacs!

TDIDS.

And the little teapot Howard Dean is all steamed up.

[bonfire]

Was she breathless? Did she say "My sources say......"?


:")

[stlnative]

they had to dig him out of a celler. At first they were not sure it was him, he has lost a lot of weight and has a long gray beard. They captured him 12 hours ago and have been questioning him.

[Texas_Jarhead]

of course she did

[Pro-Bush]

"gov sources"

kinda breathy, I liked it!

[Miss Marple]

Well, I woke up at 5 AM and couldn't get back to sleep. I must have been alerted by my breaking news radar! What great news!

A quick review of DU to get the early DNC position (Know thy enemy). Some early exceprts:

-- Well, I might as well go back to bed now. This is all they'll be talking about on the Sunday news, and Bush will be praised all day. I'm happy for the Iraqis, if this is the truth. But even if he's captured, it's still far from over.

-- So if true, it was the Kurds that got him and told the world, not the US troops and the Pentagon media whores reporting. Hmm... but the US will claim the capture.

-- Would Saddam be so foolish as to take refuge in Tikrit? Have they already had him in custody for some time time and are just now announcing it for some political purpose? Why was he captured and not killed like his two sons? This is the beginning of the 2004 presidential race... could there be some political advantage to Bush at this time?

-- They still haven't found Bin-Laden so it would suprise me if they actually found Saddam.

-- Are they going to let him get to trial and let him tell his story and implicate some Bush adminstration people? Or, is there going to be some kind of accident?

-- He's got serious dirt on people. Seriously- don't bet on him making it to trial, IF they let the Hague get ahold of him in the first place (even though he CLEARLY should be there- the US has no jurisdiction over his war crimes). On edit: Man, that would be great if he could take down some of Bushco with him.

-- We've now apparently captured the problem we helped create.

-- Is there some anti-Bush angle to this that we've been missing?

-- Well, outside of the fact that nothing about Hussein's capture changes the ill will felt towards America for our unilateral action, all the dead Iraqi civilians, the dead American soldiers, the crumbling infrastructure and so on, and will likely do little to curb the violence in the country...then no, there's no anti-Bush angle to it.

-- CNN anchor says that while the capture of Saddam Hussein will likely play very well in the United States, it probably won't make a hill of beans to the Iraqis.

-- At least the buzz of this will have cooled-down by the time Nov 2 rolls around again.

-- Mixed blessing, I'm glad Saddam has been captured, but I don't think we'll ever hear the end of this from the repugs. I'm dreading the next few weeks.

Now I need another shower.

[William McKinley]

You and me both- I woke up at 5, couldn't fall back asleep, turned on the coffee, cranked up the 'puter...

Woo hoo!

Oz=Australia

not a peep out of any network yet...good grief it's not even ten in the evening and everybody's already asleep!?...

Wake up and celebrate Australia!

[Patriot1]

I was also awake when the news of Hussein's capture was announced on Fox News. I have a bad cold and wasn't able to sleep well, so I had the TV on. Every morning when I arose, I always had the hope that when I turned the TV on that Saddam's capture would be announced. My dream has come true!! American soldiers are the best! I hope that this silences the dems who have been hammering the fact that Saddam was still at large.

[Samwise]

Well, I woke up at 5 AM and couldn't get back to sleep. It must have been alerted by my breaking news radar!

LOL. Ditto.
