Thank you President Bush. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Too bad they aren't shoving a grenade down his throat.

The Interioe Minister of Iraq has just thanked President Bush for his freedom.

This is a wonderful day.

Saddam

They found him in a spider hole,
Just like we knew they would.
Though we are glad I'm sure the Dems,
Feel this is not too good.
I'm sure they all are saddened now,
For Saddam's in our hand.
The French, the Germans, chant along,
The Russians lead the band.
They want the contracts to rebuild,
The Dems want Bush to fail.
The Libertarians want to whine,
For pot sold through the mail.
Congratulations to our troops,
And to our leader here.
George Bush is still the man to lead,
He gets my vote next year.

This has to be killing the print media as none of the newspapers were able to get this on their front page today and Monday is too late.

WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) first learned that Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) may have been captured on Saturday afternoon, and was given confirmation of the most sought-after prize in the Iraq (news - web sites) war early Sunday, senior administration officials said.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld called the president, who was spending part of the weekend at Camp David, around midday Saturday to deliver the news of the raid's possible success.

Just after 5 a.m. Sunday in Washington, the U.S. administrator in Iraq called national security adviser Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites) to confirm that the person in custody had been confirmed to be Hussein. Rice immediately took the information to Bush — by now back at the White House, one official said.

The president had returned to Washington late Saturday to be back in town before a snowstorm that hit Sunday could prevent him from attending the taping of a television Christmas special later in the day.

Bush had planned to attend church Sunday morning across the street from the White House, but decided not to make the trek through the snow.

The president was ensconced in the Oval Office and senior aides rushed in from miles away to staff a White House usually empty on an early Sunday morning.

But hours after the news of Saddam's capture spread and was confirmed by a news conference in Baghdad there still was no official reaction from the White House. Aides even declined to describe Bush's reaction at the news, despite the long-sought development that could bring significant vindication for the war the president started nine months ago.

Dramatic military strikes came up empty in their efforts to kill Saddam at the start of the war. Since then, he has appeared in both video and audio tapes. U.S. officials named him No. 1 on their list of 55 most-wanted Iraqis, the lead card in a special deck of most-wanted cards.

U.S. officials scored another major victory earlier this year when they killed Saddam's two sons during a raid. Link

Ahem, and I quote from a previous post of mine:

(The precedent is Vietnam, where one battalion commander got so fed up with the tunnel system employed by the VC that he posted his entire battalion on one tunnel hole. In thirty days his unit captured or killed all of the VC in the area and pacified the region)

Congratulations to the all the troops and their commanders who participated in this excellent raid. They are great students of the art of war and applied their knowledge, expertise and guts to the capture of Saddam. It is a great day for the people of Iraq.

Now to the issue of Mission Accomplished. No, it is the end of the beginning. Celebrate the capture, but don't lose sight of the fact that we still have a long road ahead of us.

If Saddam was going to live in a hole in the ground and completely forsake personal hygiene, he could've just moved to America and blended in with Howard Dean's campaign staff.
