The capture of Saddam Hussein by American forces last weekend puts a final nail in the coffin of a regime that for 24 years terrorized and brutalized its people in a way most Americans are unable to imagine. Saddam's capture is a victory for coalition forces in Iraq and a milestone for the Iraqi people. Attacks on allied forces in Iraq by our enemies will continue, and the road to Iraqi reconstruction and democracy remains long and difficult. But Saddam's capture is a serious blow to opponents of a free Iraq.

I like McCain. I'm still mad at the Bush campaign for what they did to him in SC. I know it was only politics, but I'm still peeved about it.

I hope he runs again in 2008.

In fact, I wonder if John R would implement an alert in the posting cycle to tell you that you are pinging yourself only. Especially if "bump" or "ping" is in the post text . . .

What is this the Bush campaign did to McCain in SC that's always mentioned as this nasty campaign? I'd like to know since it's always never mentioned other than the 'dirty tactics of the Bush campaign'. I'm sick of it. Get over it. There's nothing that was so dirty other than hurt feelings because the state and the nomination didn't go your way.

I hope so. He had a bad taste in his mouth for several years over Bush
getting the nomination for 2000, imho. I hope he's over it, anyway.
