Besides, Osama bin Laden is still running around, so you've still got him to cheer at |

By Husband of Sarah - Sun 14/12/03 09:18:30 GMT 1. It would be better first to terminate American state terrorism.
2. Saddam had less than 1 % of the weapons Bush has.
3. What is the connection between this discussion and wetlook?

By U. - Sun 14/12/03 05:47:44 GMT I sympathize with you, Ray. Of course I don't mind Saddam being captured. He is a criminal and a dictator. But at what cost? USA doesn't hunt every bad dictator on earth, do they..? And will this terminate terrorism, I wonder... |

By wetlook wammer - nick_patchett@hotmail.com Sun 14/12/03 04:45:40 GMT Website: to coin a phrase from the us Administrator "Ladies and Gentleman we got him" Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been captured alive near his home town of Tikrit. The US told the world: "We got him."
Reports have also suggested that Saddam has already be removed from Iraq by the US.
US administrator Paul Bremer told a packed news conference it was a great day for Iraqis. "The tyrant is a prisoner," he said.
Cheers and shouts of "death to Saddam, death to Saddam" erupted when a video of the former leader undergoing medical checks was shown to journalists.
Saddam looked dishevelled and tired, with long hair and a long, greying beard.
US and Coalition forces found him asleep in a six-to-eight-foot-long hole in the ground where he had buried himself to avoid capture. He had a suitcase of cash, a pistol and two rifles with him.
Captured: Saddam Hussein
He is now being held under tight security and has been described by the US as "talkative and cooperative" and "a man resigned to his fate".
DNA and medical tests have been carried out and the 66-year-old's identity confirmed.
Tony Blair, who returned to Downing Street from Chequers, said: "Let his capture bring about unity, reconciliation and peace between all the people in Iraq."
Three members of the Iraqi Governing Council visually identified Saddam. They said he was trying to justify his crimes and described him as tired and "unrepentant" and "defiant".
He is expected to be put on trial in public.
Hundreds of exultant people took to the streets of Kirkuk and Baghdad firing weapons into the air in celebration.
