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.

Oh, the love in that family is so heartwarming! Why, Saddam took care of his own sons-in-law, didn't he?

ABC showed the family portrait this morning.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him," a beaming U.S. administrator Paul Bremer said in his first comments to the news conference where the film was shown. "The tyrant is a prisoner."

Cheering Iraqis in the audience shouted "Death to Saddam!"

Dims spouting same talking points ALREADY...must have had a plan just in case.

Just goes to show you what a danger the DemocRat party and their enablers in the media have become to this country and to our national security.

I think they will focus on littering at our National Parks. Not only is it a disgrace, it is a crisis.

Be it ever so humble....
Saddam called it home.

This makes certain Bush's re-election. You can bet the farm.

Saddam was found in a hole in the ground where sheep are kept, just across the river from his mighty palaces.

Kerry is on Fox News Sunday right now. What a dork. Just SHUT UP!!

You would think that flaming reds would like the fact that Saddam Hussien has been grabbed. But, no they take the oppurtuity to bash the President for not getting other terrorists. I wonder what they will say when the coalition captures Usama bin Laden and Mulluh Omar (http://newsmax.com/archives/ic/2003/12/14/110428.shtml).

Stick a fork in John F. Kerry.

[ChemistCat]

I know we're seeing it post-removal, but that looks like a lousy job of camouflage to me.

[mrobison]

Just like the turkey he is.

NBC is positively funereal in its coverage.

I can believe it. They are truly feeling tommy da$$hole's deeply saddened pain !

[wizardoz]

Stick a fork in John F. Kerry.

Several times, just for fun.

[Valin]

Saddam baby! Love your latest palace. And you simply MUST give me the name of your stylist! I'm mean It YOU really you.

[mrobison]

The first thing we should do is let our brave soldiers split the $750K they found with Saddam.

[MeekOneGOP]

Saddened, deeply saddened . . .

[mrobison]

Bret Hume just said Saddam (in the pictures of him being given a check up) looks like a "stew bum".
