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.

If I could, I'd buy each and every one of those brave soldiers a steak dinner and give them a big hug!

the lefties are floating trial balloons. just now some are jumping on the bandwagon -- "this is a good thing".

Iraqis celebrating in the streets

We already sort of did. Sabertooth had Daleel's location posted here, somewhere, for a little bit. One of the freepers had done a trace route on Daleel.

Trust me, Daleel is no one significant. Yesterday he had a message up on that board trying to give Al Qaeda credit for the flu season.

A few weeks before that, he was given Al Qaeda credit for if and when the Yellowstone Volcano blows.

Very pathetic :)

Great pickup and reposting re the cab.

"this is a good thing".

We should hang this IslamoNazi SOB

Somber tone on CNN, you would think we were attacked again from the expressions on their faces.

Master Sergeant John C. Woods, of San Antonio, Texas, readies the noose for the hanging of convicted Nazi criminals. Woods, the official executioner for the US Army, said, "I hanged those 10 Nazis and I am proud of it!"

Thanks for the reminder. I never use what I get on Midwest, plus they match your miles donation.

"He was living with rats, actually."

Drudge's latest headline:

"ACE IN THE HOLE"

LOL!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Been lurking on here for the past hour or so just looking at all the different threads, still without that first cup of coffee *LOL* Even so this is one hell of a jolt!

Happy day, Severa! Never again can Al Jazeera be used by Saddam's thugs to terrorize the Iraqi people into not helping our troops. No chance of Saddam ever brutalizing anyone again.

Please thank that hubby of yours! ((Hugs)) to you, and the kids. Big news for big people (without 'dad's' hunting the bad guys) to take in. (^:

i would love to have been in a safe perch in her abode when she got this news. you know she beat the crap outta somebody, ashtrays were flying....

I suppose Howard Dean is having quite the pow-wow.

If he's smart (IF) he'll keep a low profile during this time. Anything negative he says is going to show what a bitter, America-hating scag he is.

Now I headed over to the dark side to see how they are handling it.

Oh, do report! I know there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. I love wailing and gnashing of teeth!

[xsmommy]

Literally in a hole! great headline!

Kerry on NBC and is pissed

"Not wise for the USA to go it alone"

Seeing the Dims squirm is almost as good as watching the de-lousing of Saddam!
