Wow, that video they took of a sheep-like Saddam is devasting, plus the fact that he gave up without a fight. Darn, he can't fight any better than than his army. And hiding in that spider hole......I can hear the spin already that he wasn't in the hole, that's an American propaganda attempt at further humiliation of him. But after watching 20+ reruns of him with his mouth wide open with the doctor probing around - and he's not wounded at all - well, al Jeezarz is NOT going to like it!:D And the Arab world will feel even more emasculated, because they can't take care of their own problems, somebody else has to step in.

The thing that bothered me at the press conference was the obvious eagerness of the Iraqis to have Saddam tried by Iraqis in Iraq, and they kept trying to pin Gen. Sanchez down on a firm answer. And he just kept saying that it hadn't been determined yet. He wouldn't promise them anything except a trial, with any more comment. I'd bet anything that months down the road when Iraq has it's government and judiciary going that we'll hand 'em over. But only after we can be sure they can handle it. But the average Iraqi isn't happy to hear the American general not denying that Saddam could get an American trial.

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.

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!!
