...and did not kill himself, is all you need to know about Saddam...
The French understand this, too. ;)
As an aside, I love seeing the libs over here swing in the wind. The wider they open their collective mouth, the deeper they dig the hole.

Today, it is a grand thing to be an American. Or among the other good and decent folks around the world who value freedom and justice. I am tickled pink.

and it is just taking some a little longer to realize it. I think it is simply that they refuse to acknowledge that cold war strategies of "containment" will not work anymore. They realize what happened, they refuse to accept the consequences of what happened.The next few months should prove interesting
When we find out the extent to which the "world community" aided and abetted Saddam, the democrats (e.g. the new "World party of America") will look positively idiotic. Bye Bye Dean. Move on.org will have to change it's name to: moved on to France.org With the exception of Lieberman, the Dem's are now a party without a brain or soul.

President Bush Addresses Nation on the Capture of Saddam Hussein Remarks by the President on the Capture of Saddam Hussein
The Cabinet Room
12:15 P.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. Yesterday, December the 13th, at around 8:30 p.m. Baghdad time, United States military forces captured Saddam Hussein alive. He was found near a farmhouse outside the city of Tikrit, in a swift raid conducted without casualties. And now the former dictator of Iraq will face the justice he denied to millions.
The capture of this man was crucial to the rise of a free Iraq. It marks the end of the road for him, and for all who bullied and killed in his name. For the Baathist holdouts largely responsible for the current violence, there will be no return to the corrupt power and privilege they once held. For the vast majority of Iraqi citizens who wish to live as free men and women, this event brings further assurance that the torture chambers and the secret police are gone forever.
And this afternoon, I have a message for the Iraqi people: You will not have to fear the rule of Saddam Hussein ever again. All Iraqis who take the side of freedom have taken the winning side. The goals of our coalition are the same as your goals -- sovereignty for your country, dignity for your great culture, and for every Iraqi citizen, the opportunity for a better life.
In the history of Iraq, a dark and painful era is over. A hopeful day has arrived. All Iraqis can now come together and reject violence and build a new Iraq.
The success of yesterday's mission is a tribute to our men and women now serving in Iraq. The operation was based on the superb work of intelligence analysts who found the dictator's footprints in a vast country. The operation was carried out with skill and precision by a brave fighting force. Our servicemen and women and our coalition allies have faced many dangers in the hunt for members of the fallen regime, and in their effort to bring hope and freedom to the Iraqi people. Their work continues, and so do the risks. Today, on behalf of the nation, I thank the members of our Armed Forces and I congratulate them.
I also have a message for all Americans: The capture of Saddam Hussein does not mean the end of violence in Iraq. We still face terrorists who would rather go on killing the innocent than accept the rise of liberty in the heart of the Middle East. Such men are a direct threat to the American people, and they will be defeated.
We've come to this moment through patience and resolve and focused action. And that is our strategy moving forward. The war on terror is a different kind of war, waged capture by capture, cell by cell, and victory by victory. Our security is assured by our perseverance and by our sure belief in the success of liberty. And the United States of America will not relent until this war is won.
May God bless the people of Iraq, and may God bless America. Thank you.
END 12:18 P.M. EST

Nice. Thanks for the post. The President touched all the right bases as far as I am concerned.

"Bush will announce France has surrendered. Again"
You really don't need to state the obvious twice in the same sentence. Just say France the next time and all will comprehend.

Here's how Saddam was really caught:
Stinky Bearded Homeless-looking Man: Kim-il, I'm telling you, I'll be okaaaayy. I'll be careful. Alright. goodbye. [ hangs up, as doorbell rings; cue "Jaws" music as he/it saunters over to the door ] Yes?
Voice of 4ID Soldier: It's Uday..
Stinky Bearded Man: Who?
Voice of 4ID Soldier: It's Baghdad Bob..
Stinky Bearded Man: What?!
Voice of 4ID Soldier: Telephone man!
Stinky Bearded Man: My telephone's okay! Who is this?!
Voice of 4ID Soldier: [ pause ] Your camel is double-parked, I think you're blocking me?
Stinky Bearded Man: I don't own a camel! come on, who is this?
Voice of 4ID Soldier: [ hesitant ] Candygram.
Stinky Bearded Man: [ excited ] A candygram! Oh, boy! [ opens door, and is grabbed and hustled out of his spider hole by 4ID Soldier]

"Red Dawn? The Pentagon is thinking of our operations in terms of Red Dawn? That should be an alert."
No worries, mate. Methinks they just ran out of cool names for their ops - it does have rather ominous connotations, doesn't it? Besides, remember how the movie ended - bye-bye commies.

Merdoug said: "Listening to NBC (unfortunately, I don't have cable, or I would watch FOX), ..."
Dish Network is very reasonably priced and they run campaigns to include free installation frequently. I gave up my ATT cable for Dish so that I could get Fox News Channel. The picture is flawless and far surpasses what my cable company was able to provide.
I even installed a Dish on a vacation home I own. Dish Network allows you to disable the service for just a couple of bucks to save money when the vacation home is not occupied.
I seldom tune in any other news source. Since I cancelled my subscription to my local liberal rag several years ago, I am dependent on Fox and FR. I highly recommend this course for all freedom-loving people.

"Brit Hume just referred to Saddam as the "Ace in the Hole".
That's what he should have said :-)
