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.

THIS MAY HAVE HAPPENED 2 DAYS AGO!
My sister-in-law's daughter lives on an military base in Germany. She called her mom today and said the rumor mill there has been rampant with the news of Saddam's capture for a couple of days. When it was confirmed, the green light to speak about the capture was given.

LOL!! WOW!!

[Arkinsaw]

This is sick

It is sick, but more importantly it's completely bat-**** crazy. Dumb can win elections, stupid can win elections, but completely bat-**** crazy doesn't win elections in America.

[not-alone]

No you are not the only one. I turned on my Christmas lights , but so far have been able to not wake up everyone in town.

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.]

Someone should do a commercial: Hey US Armed Forces, You just captured Saddamn!! What are you going to do now? LOL.

We're going to go to DISNEYLAND!!! LOL.

Oh no. Not the last one. Let the Iraqi people handle him, and met out their justice.

Geragos will have him out of custody in a short time. The military roughed him up, bruised a rib!

They had to dig him out of a hole in the basement he had dug.

[Maigrey]

This bears repeating!

GOD BLESS OUR ARMED FORCES, who ensure my child can sleep in peace!
GOD BLESS GEORGE BUSH & TONY BLAIR, who are not cowards but LEADERS!

GOD BLESS FREE REPUBLIC which IS the Internet!

[Timeout]

That reminded me of a great graphic just after our troops rolled into Baghdad last spring.

Someone had a picture of Bush and Blair sitting together laughing hysterically with bubbles over their head. Bush was saying he's going to Disneyland. It was priceless. I wish I still had it.

[mewzilla]

FNC quoting an AP report: Sadamn dug a hole in that cellar and tried to hide as US forces came after him. Hiding in a hole like a rat. Some fearless leader.

[YaYa123]

Yikes! It never occured to me to check ABC, CBS, or NBC.

[ChemistCat]

12 hours is actually a pretty short time for DNA analysis, even if they got right on it, counting all the time it would take to PROCESS so elite a prisoner, so I'd bet on the couple-of-days. Besides, they'd have to delouse him, and that would take some serious time. ;-)

Okay, somebody tell me to quit FReeping and study. :-) Oh, I'm so HAPPY!

[Dallas59]

Who?

[Drudge's minion]

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... !!!



Getting ready for Christmas at the 4th ID headquarters in Tikrit (via Yahoo).

[ChemistCat]

You can become a senator in New York that way though.

Okay, I'm going, I'm going already!
