Happy day, SAMWolf!
Listen to a Dem pol/pundit? Today? That's like stealing from a blind widow, or kicking a dog, or dissing the Boy Scouts or celebrating NAMBLA. My "repent" list is long enough without my adding: 'listened to a Democrat on the day our brave troops made sure Saddam would never torture the Iraqi people again.' (^:

Has anyone heard anything about the pictures above? Are these before and after pictures taken today/yesterday? Was he allowed to clean up, shave and then be rephotograghed? The backgrounds look like the same tile. Just curious.

Thanks for the pics, Cannoneer.
Saddam probably heard our troops, often. I am very glad to know that he didn't spend his last days of freedom in a luxury hotel in Paris.

Same deal as when they cleaned up Uday and Qusay.

You may find the answer to the Saddam before and after pics at the briefing slides, #18 at the CENTCOM thread, or included with this thread: Gen. Sanchez, the briefing.

After all that money supporting homicide bombers, after even the deaths of his two murderous boys who went down fighting, Ms Saddam, armed with a pistol, finally went down with a whimper, not a bang. Whattaday. Whattaguy.

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."Looks like we got us an Ace in the Hole!"

You know the dems probably are crying about it, that's the sad part. They are more concerned with their own political power than what is right for our country. Stinks.
