Some newswhore on CNN is right now talking about how if Saddam is captured, it really won't matter much because so many others are now working in Iraq that Saddam is not critical any more.

I am not kidding. I sure hope we got him.

Shots in the air (celebration) in Baghdad. Aspell.

This is what FR does best.

For the record, Gigantor, I believe you were there first.

Bob Arnot is saying celebrations going on everywhere.

How awesome! I read this just moments after reading in some yahoo friend's livejournal that President Bush is the worst president in history. This perks me up!
Called my husband to report this, since he's out roleplaying with his friends. The irony is in the game they are playing, Saddam Hussein gets executed in 2005 and turns to goo.

Alleluia!

(FOX interrupted with an ALERT 04:29 CDT. I thought to myself, “This had better be good.”)

NBC has gone with a LIVE bulletin with Lester Holtz. Local WRC in DC didn't even carry it.

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.

Andrea Mitchell is saying that VP Cheney was "quite happy" at some holiday parties last night. She says he knew something then.
