Tsk, Tsk, shouldn't have blown his/her cover so long before election.
Pretty funny though.

Imagine how President Bush feels!

I am struck that the Iraqi press at the conf referred to us in gratitude as "brothers" but at home, we are not seen as brothers by a significant part of the population. It is truly apparent that we are two Americas and some are sour that this dreadful man is captured. They would rather win an election than see and accept the gratitude of these poor tormented people. I am so sad at this. But our military has again done us so proud. We are fortunate to have them.

Hmm ... what event compares with this ....

Oh yeah, the last times I had this feeling of happiness were Bush winning SCOTUS decision, and the day teh House impeached Bill Clinton. Wow, I am feeling happy!

[JulieRNR21]

Fox is showing videos of Iraqi people dancing & burning a photo of Saddam.....clearly celebrating!

Has anyone seen it on CNN?

My daugter called me long distance at 5:30am w/the news! He was at the bottom of a SPIDER HOLE!!! NOW, all the dem/dim "candidates" have to talk/whine about is medicare and Dean. I hope algor chokes on a quagmire of his own remarks. I love it!

[GeronL]

I need to be offline for a while, but I did check in!!

[wardaddy]

You are going to wake up to some good news dear!

I was in Austria last week and had "Pfledermaus" for dinner. It is really a beef dish but they call it "the bat". It was excellent.

What a bunch of anti-American freaks.

Here's my prediction from Howie Deanie: "Now maybe we can bring our troops home from a war we never should have started. And I think it will be particularly embarrassing for the administration when Saddam confirms that there were no WMD's in Iraq."

[mystery-ak]

Saddam's first statement since being captured..*I support Howard Dean for US Presidency*

[CurlyBill]

Yeah, someone needs to wake Matt Drudge!

[Beck_isright]

Hold the trial in Kennebunkport. I just want to hear W's dad butchering Sadamn's name a few hundred times more!!!!!!!

[BurbankKarl]

I wonder if Saddam and Osama would consider going on Trading Spaces...

that rat hole could use some sprucing up.

Jim Angele reporting that the President won't be going to church. The President says its because of the weather. Jim says it's probably because the President doesn't want to get out of the car and face a dozen reporters' questions, especially because he probably wouldn't be able to hide his glee. ha ha!!

[Fledermaus]

He feels vindicated.

[mr.pink]

He looks like the Tex Cobb character from the movie "Rasing Arizona".

[Howlin]

What a bunch of losers -- and today, at least some of them know it!

"I was riveted to a great program on History Channel about the end of WW2 called "The Last Mission".

I was dreaming partly about when would Saddam be caught and the end to the war in Iraq."

That's like my experience. I watched "White Christmas" with hubby last night, and I was thinking about how brave Americans were to fight so long and hard against Hitler and Tojo. I was hoping we had the nerve to stay the course now.

Then I was out like a light. Woke up about 4 and was poking around here, and saw this breaking.

Great news, just great!
