The title of the article that I get when I click on the link that you provided to this thread is: 'A dark era is over' Saddam captured in raid and then when you click on that link you get Baghdad celebrates Saddam's capture

Unkempt, 'haggard' Saddam found in hidden hole near Tikrit

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- After months on the run from coalition forces, a disheveled Saddam Hussein was found hiding in a hidden hole near a farmhouse and was captured without firing a shot, coalition authorities announced Sunday.

"The former dictator of Iraq will face the justice he denied to millions," President Bush said in a short televised address from the White House. "For the Baathist holdouts responsible for the violence, there will be no return to the corrupt power and privilege they once held.

Mid East "expert" Robin Wright said this morning on MTP, and I'm virtually, if not literally quoting, "This isn't going to transform the situation over there."

See my post #121. I have watched CNN since the news broke around 4 a.m. central and believe that CNN has done a pretty good job today interviewing both those on the right and those on the left. The title of this thread is not the title of the CNN link. Sorry blanknoone that this was the first thread you clicked on. We had a very good positive thread going and probably is still going.

LOL!
You have to admit though......Saddam has a GREAT hair-do!
I especially like Kennedy's pic! IT REALLY captures his personality!

"X"MAS!?!?!?!
This is God's doing!
Don't cut him out of this!
It is because of him that we found Saddam!

I've been laughing my ass off all day, just thinking about how hard the left is taking this! I mean, if this had happened when Clintigula was in office and running for his second term, my unbridled joy at the capture of this monster would have taken precedence over any and all partisan considerations.

I probably would have been like: "Well, at least the bozo got *something* right..." ;)

Hey, it sounds like you are blaming the messenger.

When the media chooses to bring issues such as petrol lines in the same breath (and at the exact moment) when one of the most horrific tyrants, murderers, and rapists of the last 100 years is captured, it is not "the messenger."

It is propaganda.
