I've been waiting for Hitchens to give his 2 cents. He makes a pretty good point about the exiles too.

[PoisedWoman]

Excellent. One of the best, if not THE best, article on Saddam's capture. Hitchens gets straight to the point and stays there. Agood, incisive mind.

[ChadGore]

I have a new respect for Hitchens

[eureka!]

He also makes a good point about the 30 years of the thug's face everywhere, among others. Think about being raised there in that time. The significance of his capture cannot be appreciated by us, IMHO. What a great thing for the Iraqis. As was said by one "Happy is too small a word."

[tet68]

A diet of fear is bad for the system and has pernicious long-term effects.

Hitch is good too.

[Free ThinkerNY]

Hitchens is one of the few Leftists with a true conscience. Most Leftists are more concerned with, and consumed by their hatred of Bush and America, then with the suffering caused by Hussein on the people of Iraq. Lefties wrap themselves in the flag of Humanism, but they are really self-absorbed frauds who care most about their own pathetic egos.

Good article. First the trial - if it's on C-Span, we'll get cable - and then turn him over to the Kurds. And then burn the bits and scatter the ashes.

Hitch is my favorite lefty. I guy I wouldn't mind meeting down at the pub every so often. (Wouldn't want his bar tab, though!)

[Temple Owl]

. And then burn the bits and scatter the ashes.

Let's wrap him up in pig fat and belly instead.

>>...Try to imagine seeing his face on your front page every day for three decades, and hearing that voice and seeing that face every time you turned on the radio or TV...<<

Well, we got a taste of that with 8 years of Clinton.

[Tax-chick]

That has potential, too. Mark Steyn suggested that any remaining monuments of Saddam should be updated with the immortal words, "How can I urinate when my people are in slavery?"

Truth is weirder than fiction ...

[MattAMiller]

I was wondering what Hitchens would have to say. The following line bears repeating.

So here is a moment to salute those who refused and resisted.

Re: He also makes a good point about the 30 years of the thug's face everywhere...

Reminds me of the Clinton Years. Cannot wait until Bill and Her Ankleship come out of their spiderholes and face honest justice.

[expatpat]

Unfortunately, they also have their own 'Sunni' supporters to protect them.

One with God is always in the majority.

Reminds me of the Clinton Years. Cannot wait until Bill and Her Ankleship come out of their spiderholes and face honest justice.

Uh, OK.

But, not even close. For all the mess that the Clinton's made really is minor league to the mass graves and looting of Sadaam.

Keep some perspective here. Fergidabout slapping BJC in irons. He will become a laughingstock into irrelevancy.

And his little "wife" too.

[Quix]

GREAT!

Try to imagine seeing his face on your front page every day for three decades, and hearing that voice and seeing that face every time you turned on the radio or TV.

Are they talking about Clinton?
