SADDAM Hussein was no longer in Iraq, the US television network CBS reported today, citing unidentified military sources.
A CBS News correspondent in Saddam's northern Iraq hometown of Tikrit, near where Saddam was captured yesterday, said he had learned from military sources that the former Iraqi president was no longer in the country.
US Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, the top US military commander in Iraq, said in Baghdad that Saddam "is currently under coalition custody and at an undisclosed location".

Why don't you go rain on someplace else Troll. I concur, today is a day of celebration, even the fab 9 are holstering their guns today, although they have their hand on the holster in preparation.

My guess is that they won't have to use drugs to get the information out of Saddam. My guess is that they will threaten to turn him over the Iraqi courts if he refuses to cooperate. If he cooperates they might turn him over to the world courts, after the case against him is outlined by his own people and made public, of course.

Correction: As I said earlier it was reported to have happened in the 80s.You seem to be implying it didn't happen. Is that true?
Well then, I guess you need Chinese, Russian, North Korean and Columbian roommates to realize that what "reportedly" happened in Iraq "reportedly" happens in lots of other places.
China, we cannot help. They have nukes. Russia is a little more civilised then you imply, I've lived there for several two-month stretches, speak the language, etc. North Korea, we should have intervened pre-nuke. Columbia has a drug lord problem and we are sending money, arms and men.

I know. I was in the USAF in 1991, and we simply kicked him out of Kuwait. Form a pure strategic stand point, that is all we really did. Again, ask the Kurds who were gassed from helicopters. How much VX do you think it takes to take out a city? How easy do you think it would be to bury that stuff somewhere? Very.
Here is the simple fact of the matter: Saddam had and still has (buried, IMHO) WMDS which he used until 1991. Nobody proposes that he was going to develop a ICBM and launch it at the US, but that he would give the material to someone like OBL and they would use it on us.
That is why we are there now.

Saddamn's lucky the Kurds didn't get to him first. I'm kinda sorry they didn't.

My God you are a jewel with that post.
If any of those democrats had an ounce of integrity they would hang their heads in shame and stop fighting this administration and support America.
The fact that Saddam began paying suicide bomber families were enough for me.

I don't know whether it happened.Then you are a fool. Even the ultra-liberal UN has many reports with solid proof Saddam gassed the Kurds. Period.
As a general rule in life, if the Washington Post, LA Times, NBC, CNN, CBS, Sean Hannity and Ted Kennedy all say something happened, I'm inclined to disbelieve it until I see some sort of proof.
Fine. Then you will need to disbelieve the Hindenburg disaster, the Titanic, and WWII.
After all, you weren't there. You didn't actually touch any of the dead.
