[philman_36]

A day late birthday gift, but I'll take it.

[GRRRRR]

Can you just IMAGINE what W and Laura were thinking and feeling when he got the call???

What a GREAT DAY for the IRAQI people. They can now stop looking over their shoulders and maybe our troops and the Iraqi people can get on with the business of FREEDOM!!

GRRRRR

CNN and MSNBC have translators

[HarryCaul]

I wish reporters would not talk over the arabic questions. We're not all uneducated at these anchors, and some of us actually understand languages other than English.

[stlnative]

I have been watching the blogs all morning, nothing yet posted on his capture.

[JulieRNR21]

yes....more women than I expected....Hume is doing a great job on Fox....hope you have FNC.

[Fawnn]

But the combination of DNA, scars, and appearance would be enough to establish certainty.

I wondered if it's significant that they showed an extensive mouth examination -- like maybe we have dental records. (?)

[Samwise]

That's the movie that made me realize how bad gun control was.

[doug from upland]

I'm waiting to hear that Mark Gerragos will defend him.

[Jim Noble]

Must have been just a coincidence the the tribunal was formed one week before Saddam was caught. What about the DNA testing? You can't do that in less than a week.

Morning, 'cod.

I held off on posting about the DNA testing in deference to the general celebration, but you are of course correct.

Get a flu shot.

Man, if the election were held today Dean would only win D.C.'s three electoral votes.

[Quilla]

Lt. Col. Allen West!! Yes!

iraqi journalist: Did you find any communication devices or letters sent to certain elements

Sanchez: Site continues to be exploited at this time and as info becomes available we'll let you know.

Iraqi Journalist: If health of Saddam does not let him stand trial, would the trial be delayed or postponed?

Bremer: The determination of how and when Saddam will face justice, and he will, still remains.

Italian News: Is there really a possibility to run the guerrila operations from the hole in the ground.

Sanchez: We've not totally concluded the investigation yet.

World International TV: Has the Iraqi council formed a new court to prosecute the criminals? Will Saddam be turned over?

Sanchez: Still to be determined as the case progresses....yes ma'am.. go ahead...

Journalist (iraq): For a new democratic iraq, we want to forward our lovely wishes to our brothers in the Iraqi Coaltion... Mr. Bremer..and all your efforts to capture the tyrant and who has been hated.. we want to ask the Iraqi Council...what will you be offering the Iraqi people as the people need all the help and looking fowards to a good Iraq and we are asking you thru the coalition forces for a new gov't..and a new promise for a new Iraqi

Council: We are in the service of the Iraqi people and we will do our best to offer our services and the first is to prepare for our transitional period to complete independence. We are working for a general election in the near future to select and enact a constitution... and show to the parliament... and it will be offered to iraqi's and we will clean it up and we will show it again to the Iraqi people.

Song of the 4th ID

Toby Keith]
Well, a man come on, the 6 o'clock news,
Said somebody's been shot, somebody's been abused.
Somebody blew up a building, somebody stole a car.
Somebody got away, somebody didn't get too far, yeah.
They didn't get too far.

[Willie Nelson]
Grandpappy told my pappy: "Back in my day, son,
A man had to answer for the wicked that he done.
Take all the rope in Texas, find a tall oak tree,
Round up all of them bad boys, hang them high in the street,
For all the people to see,"

[Toby]
That justice is the one thing you should always find.
You got to saddle up your boys,
You got to draw a hard line.

[Willie]
When the gunsmoke settles, we'll sing a victory tune.
We'll all meet back at the local saloon.

[Both]
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces,
Singing: 'Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses.'"

[Toby]
We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds,
[Willie]
We've got too much corruption, too much crime in the streets.
[Toby]
It's time the long arm of the law, put a few more in the ground.
[Willie]
Send 'em all to their maker, and he'll settle 'em down:
[Toby]
You can bet he'll settle 'em down.

[Toby]
Cause justice is the one thing you should always find.
You got to saddle up your boys,
You got to draw a hard line.

[Willie]
When the gunsmoke settles, we'll sing a victory tune.
We'll all meet back at the local saloon.

[Both]
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces,
Singing: "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses."
Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses.

[Toby]
You know justice is the one thing you should always find.
You got to saddle up your boys,
You got to draw a hard line.

[Willie]
When the gunsmoke settles, we'll sing a victory tune.
We'll all meet back at the local saloon,

[Both]
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces,
Singing: "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses."
Singing: "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
