You think the Sunnis are probably afraid??

Of the US military, especially Texans, yes!

Seriously, it will be interesting to see how much was real 'strength' and how much was 'hype' and saber-rattling from our various enemies.

Saddam certainly wasn't having fun in his hidey-hole, with not even a port-o-potty.

I'm still trying to adjust to the fact that the Iraq press corps cheered when they saw the video of a captured Saddam.

John "F-ing" Kerry on Fox exhorting the prez to now let "our allies" in on the Iraq contracts. I wish the GOP would get their act together on that story.

They should be saying, "France, Germany and every other country had their chance to join us....it was last spring when the difficult tasks and choices were before us. They missed their chance and will now have to live with it".

RE: you second photo of Saddam. US Forces cut off his beard to show the Iraqi people this is really Saddam. I hope they nicked him. Too bad we don't see little pieces of toilet paper stuck to his face! They left the moustache to show it's really him, though. I curse his moustache!!!!

I'm guessing CNN is a Morgue right now.

Never mind President Bush...What has President Bartlett had to say???

Have Captain Kirk & Captain Piccard weighed in??? Dennis Kucinich NEEDS to know!!!

BTW, when did word first get out? Must have been between 4am and right now, because I got to bed very late this morning.

First broke with unconfirmed reports of the possible capture at about 2:00-2:15 Pacific time. Very quickly got more and more solid. Bremer formally announced solid confirmation a little after 4:00 Pacific.

lefties.....are all giving today's news a big "so what?"

That's their M.O. - they keep moving the goalposts. All the whining they did about Bush's failure to capture Hussein, now they say it's not important.

Their whole agenda is a childish whine.

That we have triumphed on this is going to be important to them for the rest of their lives.

I'm sorry for Dem children who will not be cheering this morning like mine were.

Beautiful post, CC.

Tears of joy all over the world today, I think. Maybe even in some former Dem homes.

Yep that's sound about right. I'm on the east coast, so 2am PST would have been 4am EST. I can't believe I went to bed just as this would have been breaking :-).

A "Rush" job, but I have lots of custom ammo in my arsenal and am designing, redesigning, updating, adapting, loading more every day

But MeeknMing, PhiDragoo, ntnychik and others all helped to dig up those raw originalnDan Rather photos and many more many weeks ago.

Still got RatherCastro.jpg ready and waiting

My latest version of http://0access.web1000.com/VAST-lockbox-sfx.gif slams Hillary and algore all at once and restarts animation when you scroll your page or click on it to hear Elvis sing "AMERICA".........

#1 - Highest USA economic growth in 20 years!

#2 - US stock market hits 10,000 and climbing!

#3 - Saddam Hussein caught in hole in ground!
(write your own obvious joke here:)

#4 - Dean, John FKerry, Hillary Hardest Hit!

I will keep your son in my prayers. I honor him and all our other troops now serving in this war as heros. Thank you for raising a fine man.

Tikrit's probably one of very few cities where there aren't celebrations. It makes me wonder how many other of the "big wig" thugs are there, too. Hmmmmmm. The locals know, I'll bet, and maybe more on the "Deck of Cards" will be caught before it's over. Fingers crossed!

I'm so glad I had the remote for the VCR close at hand when CNN came out with the news. Got this all on tape. Definitely worth keeping!!

CNN seems to have one, too. You know, FNC does a lot of things well, but seem to fall short in the simple details.


This is one time an interpreter wasn't needed. The look on the face and the emotion of the voice was all one needed
