SADDAM HUSSEIN CAPTURED

SADDAM HUSSEIN CAPTURED

Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been captured in his home town of Tikrit, according to reports.

There has been no independent verification of the news but Sky New's Foreign Editor Tim Marshall says the source of the news is usually reliable.

The US Defence Department says it has had no confirmation of the claims, which come from Iraqi Kurd leader Jalal Talabani, says the Iran news agency IRNA.

Hundreds of exultant people have taken to the streets of Kirkuk, firing weapons into the air in celebration.

A press conference has been announced for 12pm GMT.

In Baghdad, a spokeswoman for the US-led operation notified reporters that a "very important" announcement will be made at the press conference.

Dan Rather on suicide watch... Teams of grief counsellors have been parachuted to the homes of Rather, Peter Arnett, and to CNN headquarters... ABC News surrenders to coalition forces.

LOL! What do you supposed the mood is over at Dummies United right now? If Sadaam is in fact captured, this will go down in RAT ba$tard history as Black Sunday.

Looks like 2012 for you, Hillary!

Yes, the snivelling sound you hear in the background is Democrat hopes expiring.

It's great to be on the leading edge of news- like with Columbia and 9-11, Free Republic leads the way.

Establishment Media, take note- your time has come, and gone. The 'net and talk radio have surpassed you...

"Let's get LTC WEST to question the bastard!.

Maybe we'll get some answers that way!"

There is still time for this administration to come clean on Lt Col West.

If anything, Lt Col West will go down in (our) history as a modern day hero.

NBC is reporting from Tikrit now - Iraqis are shooting their AKs in jubilience and our soldiers are giving each other high fives!

It's been reported Saddam did "something" to change his appearance. He has been ID'd as Saddam and we are doing DNA testing now!

!!!HALLALUJAH!!!

Thanks for the DU field report.

It's refreshing to see that nothing has changed: leftists still hate America and pray for the failure of our endeavors.
