Saddam Captured?

[Darth Mandarb]

"You did not capture Saddam.
It was all big lies.
All your base are belong to us"

[OneThinkingGal and ._.]

Maybe they have and maybe they haven't.  Its irrelevant either way.

I bet they will project this as a victory...shifting the focus from the WMDs....bring on the spin doctors.  :

[Nostradamus]

It is confirmed that Saddam Hussein, the REAL Saddam Hussein is indeed captured. They did teeth tests & DNA testes which prove that Saddam Hussein was captured.

Great news for all the countries that were threated by his madness and his intentions to use chemical and biological weapons against countries and to taske over countries. And also great news for the Iraqi people who can now make a democratic Iraqi government for the good of the Iraqi people.

He wasn't the only obstacle to that, you know. His supporters may well drop off now, but they aren't the only troublemakers in Iraq, nor even the majority among them. It won't be magically all good now that the big evil overlord has been captured.

(as for the rest of your post: pre-war Iraq wasn't really a threat to any other country, but that's been debated 8457 times before and after the war, so let's keep out of this issue.)

here I go...Im going to say something pretty un-liberal here..

good job. Im glad they did it.

Getting Saddam taken care of was one of the objectives in this mission, and important in helping Iraq get on its feet, if only for morale purposes.
That being said, I have 2 more questions

1. what are they going to do with him?

2. Are we ever going to find whats even more important then saddam, the WMD or Bin Ladin?

I'd say Bush's second term is pretty much locked in at this point.  I just enjoy the fact the operation was titled "Red Dawn."

[Trapezoid]

This is good, but he's probably no less of a threat now that he's captured than when he was sitting in a hole. Saddam never operated like Osama. He was a dictator, not a terrorist conspirator. He probably has more power now that he's in the public eye.

What a horrible thing to say . Although, it may be true .

Now the question is, do American's leave. That's it. Threat of Saddam retaking power is completely over. Regime crushed. No more excuses.

Of course we will occupy Iraq until I'm old and withered.

Panda: I think that liberals and conservatives both can agree that not having Saddam in power or in threat of being in power is a good thing. They just disagree on how it happened .

Maybe we should now try and get Osama Bin Laden.

That's what I was going to say. There is no way those tests can lie. HE IS CAPTURED.
FINALLY!!!!  

What's gonna happen to him next? :o

It's like how different religions disagree on how exactly we should love our neighbours.
Expect this to go on for a long time.

[Nacho]

Mmmm... Something said to me that a lot of people would receive this as bad news...  

[OneThinkingGal and ._.]

Considering the Bush administration's cronies are making a nice profit in Iraq: http://abcnews.go.com/wire/Politics/ap20031212_1665.html

I expect that the US won't pull out soon. Unless of course, people complain that they can't afford the war anymore, then maybe. Otherwise, three cheers for capitalism!!

[BerserkerTails]

Maybe the weapons of mass destruction were hidden in Saddam's hugemongous beard  

[WanderLady]

Its irrelevant either way.

OTG, could you explain what you mean? I'm confused by it.

[Domino]

As happy as i am with the capture of Saddam. I would feel alot better if Bin Laden would have been captured.  But i'm pretty sure he will be caught sooner or later, and punished!! We need to take out the mastermind behind most of the terrorism that has happened to the United States and its allies.

[rodekill]

Duffman thrusts in Sadams direction.

[OneThinkingGal and ._.]

Meaning, who cares. Saddam was only the target of the war because he had these supposed weapons on mass destruction, which were all false claims.

Without them, he was just a dictator with a dream, much like the ones in Cuba or North Korea. Of course, they don't have oil to use for kickbacks to Bush's buddies, so there's no way taxpayers' money will be spent on going to war with them.

[m0ds]

w00t. Captur3d!

[Inkoddi]

Bush just wanted his precious weapons of mass destruction back
