Odierno surmised the pressure on Saddam had become so tight that he couldn't risk traveling with a large entourage, and therefore had no bodyguards with him. "It was him and just a couple other people with him, so he really didn't have much of a security force," the general said. "And he was in the bottom of a hole, so there was no way he could fight back, so he was just caught like a rat."

Can anyone stencil an overlay on the rat's back in the trap with either Dean or Clark? Could be fun to send to the ZeroCents.com site.

Saddam Hussein was "caught like a rat" and offered no resistance when U.S. soldiers captured him near Tikrit Dec. 13, the U.S. general in charge of the operation said today.

Would that be a DemonRat? At least rats, of the rodent type, will fight when cornered. I've also seen rats that wouldn't hide in a hole like the one Saddummie was hiding in. At least we know he didn't have OBL in the hole with him, not nearly enough room for two rat like things.

Gee they didn't even get to us a flash bang on him, let alone a HE grenade, which is what the 'rat deserved.

I hope he talks, a lot, and on video. I also hope he's already safely in one of those wire rat cages in GitMo.

Why was this rat hiding in filthy hole? -All he had to do was dye his hair and beard totally white and don a Santa Claus costume.

SandRat is an exception to the Rat rule, absolutely. (^:

I'm a hereditary pack rat, though it's one of my New Year's resolutions to toss the junk. Sigh. *g*
