Two thoughts:

This dirtbag was leader of the "Bath" party.

Nick Nolte thinks people will forget his arrest picture after seeing Saddam's.

"And now, today, they found him like a mouse."

He never learned to fear America.

From Palace to Pothole...The Story of Saddam Hussein....

[Batrachian]

"But after a lifetime of successful brinksmanship, he went too far in a final dare to the United States."

What the heck are they talking about? Saddam Hussein failed in everything he did, except for building up his own dictatorship. What is this "succesful brinksmanship" that they refer to? The Iran/Iraq war? A disaster. His nuclear weapons program? A total failure. His invasion of Kuwait? Sheer madness. What success?

These are the same people who consider Bill Clinton a great president because he couldn't be thrown out of office by the Republicans. Big deal.

Liberals and conservatives seem to have a very different idea of what constitutes success.

[wiseone]

WHINED TO US TROOPS IN ENGLISH” DON’T SHOOT!!!!

Osama will be the next one to fall.

The mullahs in Iran can't be sleeping very well tonight knowing we caught Saddam. Their housing AQ members will be dealt with......count on it.

I have a problem too with the author claiming that Sadaam "modernized" Iraq. From everything I have read and from accounts from people who are there, it is a very backward country with only the very large cities and Sadaams many palaces modernized, while the rest of the country lives in poverty.

This is the fate of any Chirac ally---get that Shroeder?

"...what are the dems gonna gripe about now..."

The current talking points seem to include continuing the demand that 'other' countries be brought in to help our troops, and being 'gracious' enough to allow France, Germany, etc., to help with the rebuilding.

Miz clinton has yet to make any kind of statement...at least I haven't heard one yet.

I'm with you Dog..just a matter of time. I heard the news of hussein's possible capture about 2:30am PST on the news. I thought to myself, oh could this be true? Then of course later at 4:30am PST it was confirmed. Oh happy day. In my morning greeting to our church's congregation, along with the usual welcome, I said God Bless our Troops this wonderful day. yep, Osama is the next to fall. We will get him too.

VP Cheney had flown into our local airport yesterday and he had stayed on the plane after it had landed for about twenty five minutes. I bet that's when Cheney found out that Saddam had been found.
