The video of the oral examination is priceless. Some Military Officer was really on alert with that brilliant propaganda footage.

Hey Saddam, say AHHHHHHHHH!

I loved the Eclipse image as well, you have a great gift.

They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
They'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I gotta do is act naturally...

Thank you for the pictures.

Just for a little trivia, in that picture of the news conference, there is a female brunette just above the name, Mike Cameron. When the news was announced, she was shaking her head side by side as though she didn't believe the news. I also noticed the right side of the conference erupted in applause while the left side was silent except for one or two clapping.

In fairness, she could have been looking side to side and checking reactions but it didn't seem like that.

I'm curious about the distinct opposite reactions of the two sides of the room and the woman's motions.

I don't see anybody asking which card in the deck we captured this time, LOL!!!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SADDAM HUSSEIN CAPTURED, IN COALITION CUSTODY

Forces from the 4th Infantry Division, coalition forces and special operations forces captured former Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, at approximately 8 p.m. local time yesterday in a remote farm house near Tikrit, Iraq.

Operation “Red Dawn” was launched after gaining actionable intelligence identifying two likely locations near the town of Ad Dwar. The First Brigade Combat team of the 4th ID was assigned the mission to capture or kill Saddam Hussein.

The Forces involved in the operation consisted of approximately 600 soldiers including cavalry, artillery, aviation, engineer and special operations forces. The forces cleared the two objectives but initially did not find the target. An additional suspicious site was identified and searched. The area was a small, walled, mud hut compound with a metal lean-to structure. Within the structure a “spider hole” entrance, camouflaged with bricks and dirt was located. The hole was about 6-8 feet deep with space allowing an individual to lie down. Saddam Hussein was found hiding at the bottom of the hole. He was captured without resistance and is in the control of coalition forces at an undisclosed location

Items confiscated during the raid include two AK-47 rifles, a pistol, $750,000.00 U.S. dollars and one white/orange taxi. Two other individuals who have not been identified were also detained.

No one was injured in the operation. Saddam appears in good health and is undergoing further evaluation.
