CNN anchor now reports news conference due at 4 AM PST/7AM EST

The arab street will claim it is just a double.

We've run a DNA test, they won't be able to claim it's a double.

[thoughtomator]

You would think someone he knows would wake him up!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Moseley-Braun is doing the "but" number, i.e., great we have him but we still need an exit strategy

Here are but a couple of exit strategies:

1. We exit stage right as we invade Syria.

2. We exit stage left and pay a visit to Iran.

3. We send a few "observers" over to watch the civil war show in SA.

MSNBC via email

Saddam Hussein captured. - U.S. announces arrest.
U.S.: 'We got him.'

I'm so amazed to see the Iraqi people celebrating - as we thought they'd celebrate when we liberated them. Obviously those who said they'd be living in fear as long as they thought Saddam might come back were correct.

He really was a *Sword of Damocles* hanging over their heads. Now to see if the Iraqi peoplle can clean up the rest of the mess he made for them, and get their country back om track again.

This so called general had to be one of the Clintoon's Perfumed Princes who wore laced pink panties.

This is why I never watch any news except on FNC. I watched 15 minutes of FNC at 5 am PST today. It was great and showed the reality of the happiness of the Iraqi people, the Iraqi reporter in the news conference shouting "Death to Saddam" when the tv picture of him undergoing the health exam was shown, and positive comments from around the world.

CNN is starting the negative spin too apparently.

Carol Mostly-Yawn hasn't figured out that she would do much better to bow out gracefully and shut her yap...

[Catspaw]

I don't think the Iraqi people will be truly free as long as Saddam is alive. But I also think the Iraqis will take care of that ASAP.

[ConservativeMan55]

LOL!

[Quilla]

Earlier, I heard a Fox News reporter say that Saddam identified himself. He's one scared motor scooter.

[Semper Paratus]

I'm predicting Judy Woodruff will bang in sick today.

2. We exit stage left and pay a visit to Iran.

There's the little matter of the mutual defence treaty the Iranians have with the Russians....but even that might be used to our benefit.

ABC hates having to broadcast these pix of people dancing at Saddam's capture.

[Amelia]

Right now my Lhasa is perched on the arm of the couch doing his "Snoopy as Vulture" routine

ROFL!!! I love the "Snoopy as a vulture" cartoons!

[yonif]

I want to repeat an Israeli report saying that Saddam had a suicide bomb vest on himself, but he chose not to use it.

[mass55th]

"Oral exam in his mouth was done to check for lethal capsules, and infections."

Oh, I thought they were looking for Bill Clinton droppings.

[jwalsh07]

Blair: ".... some 400,000 have already been found in mass graves..."

Tome "the Undertaker" Daschle remains deeply saddened but not by Saddam Husseins mass graves but instead the President who put an end to such mass murder while at the same time removing a "gathering storm" facing America.

Cspan continues to yield a disgusting display of pseudo patriots whining about medicare and social security on a day that sees the bagman Hussein swept up like the dog crap he is.

[longtermmemmory]

DNC will have talking points all set for every (D) on the new programs.

Turn over to UN.
Great day for all United States
Great victory for troops.
Great day for Iraqi people

GWBush failed to (fill in blank).

[maggief]

Gotta love this one, too:

DU- "Is it hopeless?


The economy is improving.

With Saddam gone, the quagmire in Iraq may soon be over.

How the (he!!) are we going to win with any candidate?"

[oceanview]

but actually, that brings up a good question. where are the doubles? why have the doubles been able to elude capture?
