HI Jim,

What a wonderful day. It sure took a bite out of the flu I have, to see Saddam taken into custody.

By the way that is a great first question for Saddam.

Dummies and their like will e furious at Howard Dean for saying this:

""President Bush deserves a day of celebration," "We have our policy differences but we won't be discussing those today."

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Yeah. I was thinking more along the lines of Hitler's bunker, but I guess that's right, too.

This source says 6-10 days for DNA testing to determine paternity.

This link gives a pretty good description of the procedure if you're chemically inclined.

My daughter, who lived in the ME for a few years and understands the Arab mind, called to say that the worst punishment for Saddam would be to leave him in that rat hold, build a wall around it, and keep a live cam on him 24/7. To which WA freeper Baynative added, make that a fence instead, let Iraqis visit, watch, jeer, and toss him pork rinds.

I think it's rather poetic that he was found in a RAT hole.

An interesting timeline of the capture:

I can't wait to read Brent Bozell's Media Research Cenet tomorrow. They must be working overtime covering all the idiotic pontifications by the alphabet network's talking heads.

If there ever was a lawsuit to prove or disprove the alphabet networks and their standard leftist bias they would settle out-of-court. There is so much proof to assure that the burden of making a beyond-reasonable-doubt case that they couldn't afford taking the hit.

Nothing like aces high. 'Tis better that we got him alive (and like the snake in the grass he is).

[Agitate]

I was listening then, and it seemed there were WAY too many syllables for it to be merely "Death to Saddam". I've heard Iraqis in America chanting "Death, DEATH to Saddam" in English, and again, I don't think translating those words into their native language would account for the many, many words they were using this morning. I'd love an exact transcript of the outbursts.

FWIW, FOX just reported the journalist were screaming "death to Saddam."

[finnman69]

[hellinahandcart]

I repeat, no way "Death to Saddam" uses that many syllables. It may have been along that general theme, but the Iraqis were, um, extemporizing a lot.

[hellinahandcart]

Finnman, that is priceless!

[Agitate]

I repeated what FOX reported, don't shoot the messanger on this happy day, please.

[Agitate]

Thanks for that Finnman, it made my day!

[Prodigal Son]

Wow, I had no idea it took so long. Thanks for that.

[steveegg]

I would've offered him some sugar for that gas tank, and maybe some bananas for the exhaust pipe.

[finnman69]

"This is UNREAL!!!!!!!!!"

[CedarDave]

Gephardt on FOX now saying we need international help to bring the Iraq campaign to sucessful conclusion.

(Excuse me while I find a wastebasket -- calling ralphhhhh!!)
