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.

Reuters just reported that the Baghdad explosion was some accident involving fuel tanks - not an attack.

Has anybody heard from Hitlery, yet? Or, did the Rangers decide not to pull her out of the hole with Saddam?

These DU quotes are hilarious.
Is there some anti-Bush angle to this that we've been missing?
LMFAO.

US forces have not captured Saddam Hussein, no way! This is just Yankee Imperialist propaganda.Looks like Bush pulled a ACE out of the hole.

The Mother of all Mugshots! Good one! LOL!

That's what I get for going to be before 2am PST! :-)
AWESOME NEWS!
In order to end all ongoing Iraqi Baathist resistance, may I be the first to propose that like the defeated Gallic King Vercingetorix, Saddam should be stripped naked, taken to his captors' capital in a cage, and executed in a public arena.

So that's what Al Unibomber Gore would have looked like if he kept letting his beard grow!

We're saving $ on cable bills, too. Sure do miss that Fox News Channel, though.

Word is that Howard Dean will be making his concession
speech for the 2004 election today to President Bush.
To: Bubba_Leroy
CNN is spinning this so hard, my head is spinning.
The jerk on the scene in Baghdad who's reporting in to Blitzer just said there's no celebrating in the streets, although "there may be some Iraqis happy about this in the quiet of their homes".

Al Gore should have grown a huge unsightly beard as an
act of embarrassment that he couldn't even carry his
home county, in addition to his home state of Tennessee
in the 2000 election.
ONWARD PRESIDENT BUSH FOR 2004!!!!
To: MinuteGal
....and CNN still wonders why they keep losing viewership
to the Fox News Channel????????
