Though it was all so predictable, it was still shocking to see it played out by the book. A black-garbed, clenched-jaw Couric, desperately trying to put the worst possible spin on every aspect of the capture of Saddam Hussein.

Q: "Ibrahim Al-Duri is considered the real mastermind. How critical is his capture?"

LOL! Not 1 in 1000 people here knows who Al-Duri is but just about every schoolkid has heard of Saddam. This is like saying that Hitler was unimportant because Baldur Von Schirach was the real mastermind of the Third Reich.

Thanks for the briefing. All in all it's just another brick in the wall...of propaganda from domestic enemies. Thanks for helping us TEAR DOWN THAT WALL.

"Clearly, Saddam was in no position to orchestrate anything. Militarily, how much of the enemies' capabilities have really been degraded by this capture?"

Here's my personal take on this.

Saddam operated as the God-subject of a cult of personality. This really is a case where if you "cut off the head, the snake will die". Without the subject of the cult's reverence to rally behind, there's really nothing left for the dead-enders to do but try to escape to Syria, stand down and try to blend in to the population (and the population knows who they are), or to join forces with the foreign fighters allied with Al Qeada.

I think we can expect a quick end to the "resistance", except for the foreigners. And I have great hopes that the liberated Iraquis will now deal with them.

Ths is a beginning of the new day for Iraq.

Katie colic looks like a cheerleader that lost her pom poms.

Please let me know by post or private message if you'd like on or off the Today Show ping list for semi-regular reports of liberal media bias at The Today Show and other morning news shows.

Yesterday, Dan Blather looked like he was about to burst into tears at any moment.

Maybe we Freepers should send Katie a black mourning gown to wear on the mourning after Election Day when she has to report the landslide re-election of Bush. BTW, I maintain that anyone can tell how the election results went merely by turning the sound down completely and just watching the expression on Katie's face. Here is the key:

Extreme Happiness = Dean wins the election.

Sadness = Bush wins the election.

Extreme Gloom = Bush wins election by landslide.

Extreme Anger = Bush wins election by 537 votes again in Florida.

She's such a shameless waste of skin.

[Holly_P]

Everytime that video clip of Sadaam plays on TV it "bitch slaps" a democrat somewhere.

[McGruff]

That's a crane sticking in my head.

[Maigrey]

Man, it also looks like she hasn't slept for a few days, and has mortician's spackle on her to make her look a little more lifelike.

And what is up with that jacket. Does the woman have no taste in clothes. (Women's rant and all...)

[Savage Beast]

"Liberals" (misnomer, of course) are fighting against the tide of history. As truth--and its consequent destiny--unfold, their mendacity and manipulation will become more and more obvious. As pathetic as they are, they are more deserving of scorn than pity.

So glad you posted this thread, I posted this earlier on a diff thread, I was fuming and typing as I watched her try to downplay the capture, and scare all the bluehaired little old ladies who listen to ms colic and her doom n gloom reporting on anything positive for the country/George Bush.

To: All

tune into the Today Show and katie colic - she's in full blown "mourning" today - black dress, black earings even...and a very terse,unhappy face/voice to report the "good news"

she's doing her best to downplay this - she just said (watching live interview now) - Katie: "militarily how much has the efforts to get saddam been downgraded because he obviously lacked power"

then katie barks:"so this is more symbolic general, ya think?"

another rapid fire Colic question:

"General Sanchez do you think this will incite more terrorism, a more violant environment?"

lol she is such a biased b*tch!!!

she'd punch him if he was in the studio with her

Once again, Katie:"I know sadaam's #2 man is the mastermind of all the attacks, how critical is it to get him?"

(when we get him, katie won't be happy)

hahaha..general sanchez handled her well, and closed the interview with "thank you again for all of your support" great irony!

To Couric, it was indeed a dark day...

...a day when one of her comrades (in spirit) was captured!

[samtheman]

the response from Saddam when asked if he had WMD: "No of course not, the US dreamed them up to have a reason to go to war with us.

Sounds like there's eight RAT campaigns that could use Saddam on their campaign staffs.

[kinghorse]

Foxnews anchor (not Gibson, Hume or any of the other majors) whose name I can't find was set straight yesterday while interviewing the spokesman for Chalabi. The anchor said:

"Don't you think ....... the resistance will ....... the resistance."

The Iraqi began his comments by point out to the clueless FOXNEWS ANCHOR that it isn't a resistance. It is Terrorism. Good gosh even the Fox people aid and abet with their stupid choice of words. It's ingrained in the mindset of a journalism major. Either that or it was a deliberate setup.

FIRST VILLAGER: We have found a witch. May we burn her?

ALL VILLAGERS: Burn her! Burn her! Burn her! Burn her! Burn her!

BEDEVERE: How do you know she is a witch?

FIRST VILLAGER: She's dressed in black and she's perky!

ALL VILLAGERS: Yeah! Yeah! Burn her! Yeah!

Switch to Today (7AM CST) for the first time in a decade to see this.

Just send e-mail to today@nbc.com asking: "Why does Katie pick today of all days to wear mourning black? She speaks to General Sanchez as if it means nothing to capture Saddam and his boast he never had WMDs is the truth!

"My God, does this woman have a drop of American blood left in her soul?

"No wonder viewership is falling for NBC. Count me in that group that will not come back after today."

Now, just imagine a 100,000 e-mails in that same tone hitting the Today in basket? Only 999,999 to go!
