Tex .....we caught a BIG ONE!!!!!!!!!
And at one time he was thought to be dead, so that just goes to show you. Now it would be hilarious if Saddam comes waltzing or hobbling in. No one wants to take them in.
What is it that GWB says, something like you can run, you can hide, but we are going to seek you out one at a time (something like that).

A big ole helping of crow for Chris Matthews, whom I like.
I know! No one else likes him. Though he's a liberal, I think he lives in the real world and holds Dem and Republican feet to the fire equally. Anyway, he says a lot of good stuff here.....
New Haven Register
Steve Higgins, Register Business Editor
April 23, 2003 NEW HAVEN Chris Matthews, host of MSNBCs "Hardball," began his keynote speech at the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerces annual meeting Tuesday with an admission.
"I was wrong about the war," Matthews said in a booming voice, immediately gaining the attention of 600 people at the Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale.
Matthews, who described himself as a liberal, said he thought the Iraqi people would fight American troops, there would be a worldwide Arab uprising, and terrorist groups such as al-Qaida would see "massive" recruitment.
"I thought there would be an Arab revolt, a tremendous uproar," he said. "Nothing happened. I hate being wrong, but Im glad."
[snip]
Matthews praised President Bushs handling of the war against terrorism.
"He is simple good simple," Matthews said. "Weve had a lot of Democratic candidates who have been really complicated and disasters.
"Bush is in bed by 9:30 p.m. with Laura hows that for a switch?"
Matthews said he doesnt think Bush will follow in his fathers footsteps as a one-term president.
"He sticks with his deals," he said.
Matthews said Democrats are making a mistake trying to shift the focus of the next presidential campaign to the economy.
"The Democrats will have to debate national security to get into this election," he said. "They have to start talking about the same things Bush is talking about."
The Democrats need to realize that two things have changed, he said the nation has shifted sharply to the right, and the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks changed the nations priorities.
For instance, women who historically have voted strongly Democratic have always seen health as a major domestic issue. But now the health issue includes fears of anthrax and chemical attacks.
Foreign policy has become domestic policy, Matthews said.
"This is about our turf," he said. "The war against terrorism is ongoing. Politics will never be the same in our lifetime."
------------------------------------------------------------
See?! He may be liberal, but he's got lots o' horse sense.

He put me off too with his "neo-con" and anti-war ravings. But he gets great guests and I think he's the best thinker the libs have left (now that Moynihan is gone, rest his soul).
I don't see Hardball as much since they moved it to the new slot...7 EST I believe.
