CAUGHT AT LAST, CAUGHT AT LAST,
THANK GOD ALMIGHTY AND THE US ARMY,
HUSSEIN'S CAUGHT AT LAST

Sanchez described the operation that captured Saddam. The general said it was a cordon-and-search operation, and coalition forces sustained no casualties. In fact, he said, coalition forces never fired a shot.

“For the last several months, a combination of human intelligence tips, exceptional intelligence analytical efforts and detainee interrogations narrowed down the activities of Saddam Hussein”

-- The streets of Baghdad erupted with “celebratory gunfire,” according to correspondents in the Iraqi capital. Officials said some Iraqi regime diehards may launch attacks, but that coalition forces are prepared. In the long term, officials said, they see the capture as going a long way to bring stability to the country.

Last one, I think...and not enough from our troops, who are probably still smiling too broadly to appear on int'l TV. (^:

[Viking2002]

The news and info is flowing so fast, it makes my head spin. But thank God he's finally been run down and locked up. I can only imagine the thoughts running through the head of the G.I. when he realized who he was looking at in the bottom of that hole.

[Joy Angela]

joke.

Saddam was caught in a Spider's Hole.

That is, he was in a Black-Spiders Hole
