SADDAM HUSSEIN CAPTURED
Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been captured in his home town of Tikrit, according to reports.
There has been no independent verification of the news but Sky New's Foreign Editor Tim Marshall says the source of the news is usually reliable.
The US Defence Department says it has had no confirmation of the claims, which come from Iraqi Kurd leader Jalal Talabani, says the Iran news agency IRNA.
Hundreds of exultant people have taken to the streets of Kirkuk, firing weapons into the air in celebration.
A press conference has been announced for 12pm GMT.
In Baghdad, a spokeswoman for the US-led operation notified reporters that a "very important" announcement will be made at the press conference.

I would expect the Dems to somehow tie this capture to Hitlerys visit.
After all she is the smartest woman in the world.

This should be made an international holiday, notwithstanding the tears that will no doubt come from our good friends in Europe.

Why is FOX always last on breaking news? I love them but why?
My brother called and told me to turn the TV on any channel and look at headline. I told him (joking) on you mean Micheal Jackson's coming out with a new video, awesome, thanks for calling!

If he doesn't talk, perhaps LTC West could return to Baghdad and be persuaded to ask him a question or two?

Wonder how long it's going to take Dean, Europe, and Dan Rather, to spin this into a disasterous failure?

Yeah, Fox sucks with breaking news. Not only that, but when the Iraqi press conference began, Shep and his guest kept talking over the coverage long after every other channel was showing the event. But who cares today, hooray!
What a day to wake up and hear this news! My random thoughts thus far:
-Saddam looks like a bizarro Santa;
-Has Geragos been retained yet by Saddam?
-Lib media already downplaying capture;
-Way to go 4th ID and all our brave soldiers!

Alright!
