my first reaction when i saw this on the news was "'bout f*cking time".
which is a bit too harsh, obviously, but i was sleepy. gimme a break. *sings the kit kat commercial* but i'm glad they caught him. i mean, even though i'm opposed to the war, the capture of saddam is definitelly a good thing. now, of course, the question comes up: will he be tried at the hague or will the US demand that he be executed and try him here? |

Well, this is definitely going to be a big test for America's commitment to justice. With any luck, he'll be summarily executed and the Bush administration will be universally condemned.
And what the hell was he doing in Iraq in his hometown? Most. Obvious. Hiding. Place. Ever. *Smacks head* |

The first thing that came to my mind was I hope it doesn't end up boosting Bush's political career. The last thing I want is for him to be re-elected. Blegh. Sort of an odd thing to be the first thought in my mind, I guess, but I just woke up, so
 I swear, if he does get re-elected, I'm moving to Canada.  And I have to agree with Polo about that hiding place. Yeesh. Not exactly the most clever plan. -------------------- I love you in a way that is mystical and eternal and illegal in 20 states.

HURRAY!!!!!!!!
And when we are done with him we can give him to the Iraqis to be publicly executed as they see fit! Maybe I can help them out. Always wanted to hang someone by their scrotum. By the way, did you see his face? He looks like hell! Then again I would too if I was living in a hole for a few months. -------------------- Still around, just lurking.

I do not think saddam deserves any mercy. He has tortured and killed soooooo many people. I am sure there are a lot of IRaquis who would love to get their hands on him.
 May the new government in IRaq be one of freedom and peace. Now that the past has been dealt with the future can be planned. -------------------- Amelie has a strange feeling of absolute harmony.

OMG Cand, those are soooo exactly my thoughts right now....it's enough to make me think that somehow GW had a deal with Saddam's buddies to let him capture Saddam just so he'd be able to boost his flagging political career at the time when it's most important....a month before the Iowa and New Hampshire caucuses.... Well, I'm not fooled! Hooray for finding Saddam, GW, now get the hell out of office! ...and your "If he gets re-elected I'm moving to Canada"....if he does get re-elected, you'll probably be seeing me when you get to Canada...  Some friends of mine from work and I all agreed to do the same thing in that emergency!

The fact that he was captured so early before elections surprises me, and proves its not ALL public relations. The primaries have nothign to do with Bush, so that isn't the issue. However the capture has been laced with PR, like "we gave saddam a shave".

Can I edit that slightly to read: "May the new Iraq be one of freedom, peace and justice." If the Iraqi people don't see justice being handed out properly, they may as well rename the country "Camp Delta" and go around calling themselves Osama. |

It is my sincere belief that anyone and everyone who supports that attitude should be summarily executed. Go vote Republican and get the hell off of my post-Enlightenment planet. |
