I don't believe the story that he was caught yesterday. They claim that they have already done DNA testing, which takes a couple of weeks.

I think they already had him two weeks ago, and that is why the Iraqi Governing Council set up that war crimes tribunal - just for Saddam.

I wonder if the first question CENTCOM gets is "why are we here ( anyone else remember that moron? )?"

General Sanchez;

Good morning...today is a great day for the Iraqi people and the coalition last night at approx 8:30 PM ... operation Red Dawn to capture the former dictator of Iraq Saddam Hussein near city of Tikrit...no shots fired... no injuries... the captive has been talkative and has been cooperative.

I would like to give you a brief overview of the operation that lead to his capture.

The town of Ad War...where Hussein was captured.

Intel and detainee investigation narrowed down the location of Hussein and lead to our ability to raid this rural farm house

at approx. 10:50 we received intel ont eh location of Hussein and labeled this sites as Wolverine one and two.

600 soldiers from Raider brigade lead by Jim Hickey of the 4th ID. including spec ops forces

at 1800 hours and at lightening speed the forces were positioned and moved towards the target zeon

coalition forces assaulted the two objectives but did not find the target.

First Brigade found a suspicious location tot he NW of Wolverine two. a metal lean-to, a spider hole was detected.. camoflaged with bricks and dirt.

Saddam was found at the bottom of the hole.

It was six to eight feet deep and had enough space for a person to lay down in it.
