Sadam caught

[Dangermouse1]

Sky news confirm Saddam has been caught alive.

[Byte 2.0]

you bet me.
Saddam Hussein captured.

Is this a bad time to ask about Osama bin Ladin?

Where Osama?

[mystvearn]

you beat me too. Caught, now (the coalition) show me the WMD.

[Byte 2.0]

In case others wonder what the WMD is (Weapons of Mass Destruction)
I only post because I had to think about that for a bit.

I woke up to the news on my radio this morning. I couldn't think of a better way to start it.

As for the WMD, the Iraqi who supplied that info recently was captured, and he described what happened to them. Of course that wasn't publicized too well, but if what he is saying is true, front-line soldier's were issued the WMDs and were ordered only to use them on Saddam's command. They were then burried throughout Iraq when they were not to be used.

[Strider]

Personally I could careless if they ever find WMD, for Saddam's regime was a brutal one that is comparable to many evil leaders in the past (Hitler's, Stalin's for example). For that alone is enough for me and now back to Personal Computing for me.

The US seems to be on a roll:

potentially the smoking gun regarding Iraq and 9/11

[not important]

Now that they have caught him what will they do with him and will anything change?

[Propain]

The people cheer in the streets once again just like the first time the war was won a few months ago. I wonder if itll last a bit longer this time before they start killing more US soldiers. Thoses people (middle east ppl) dont even know if they are coming or going.

[mystvearn]

Well, now to wait. I thought the US attack in the first place due to WMD and oil. So interrogate Saddam-and show it.
WMD=weapons of mass destruction

[Fastfly]

I doubt WMD is on the mind of Bush right now.


But we willfind out at noon when he address's the USA.

[yellohut]

where did you get oil as the reason for the original attack...
i work in the news and never heard that brought up as a reason.
Also, we probably should have pushed the humanitarian agle more for our reason for going in there, with the WMD's as a second factor. either way we got Saddam, and no one can say that that is a bad thing.

[morriswindgate]

WMD - Just remember that the total amount of the WMD that the UN Inspectors listed as missing would fit in a space the size of two USA sized double car garages. But this amount of stuff has the potential, not only to kill several million people, but also it would be the worst enviormental disaster in history.
So before you ask where are they, look around your town and notice the number of places that are that size, then think about the number of places in your whole state.
My own felling about his capture is that if it were legal they should strip him naked, tie him to a Humvee hood and then drive him down the cinter of Baghdad.

[hobey19]

what time is he adressing the nation? i saw fastfly said noon, but i hadn't seen anything saying for sure.

thanks

[Doobie]

yes please confirm its a twelve... Im going to take the TV out the Garage to watch it...

[ylen13]

i wished us troops just pu the bullet in to his head.

[Colonel Sanders]

I have to agree with Strider, I personally don't really care if they don't find any WMD- Saddam was a man who shouldn't have had the power that he had, he was removed once during Desert Storm and came back to his old tricks.

[morriswindgate]

This is how he got the $750,000.00 he had with him when he was captured.

[Propain]

eheheh Good one Morris.

Personally.... I think this is just the beginning... think about it... what do you do with him.... execute him? Ok... to the other terrorists out there that follow his beliefs, it's just that much more of a reason to hate the US and follow out more attacks.... ok, lock him up in solitary or whatever.... fine... now the terrorists that follow his beliefs will stage attacks and promise more until he is released. The smart thing to have done when he was found would have been to toss a grenade into his hole and walk away... leave him MIA.

[bigandy]

I agree with what Propaine said, though we may have got him, and the people of Iraq are celebrating, they celebrated after the end of the war and a week later were killing off soldiers. Hopefully this time, that won't happen, but it probably will. The US is hated in that part of the world, actually in much of the world we are.

Here is are links for more on the capture:

The Iraqs have to be allowed to to care of him in their court system. If you read a lot of the reports, a whole lot of people in the Arab world are of the belief that he was loved by his own people. For them to see him for what he really is and the hate the Iraqi people have for him will further disillusion the radicals.

That seems to sum up what's going on.

That's been my question the whole time the US has been looking for him. What the heck do we do with him? Okay, we found him. Hurrah, hurrah. Now what do we do with him? We can't very well make a martyr of him, and it may be a little risky to keep him hanging around. How about an underground bunker somewhere in the mountains, perhaps?

Yeah, MIA would have solved everything...

Question, How many cigerettes will sadom be wourth in prison. my answer half a smoken bud

Personally I agree with the grenade but now that we have him is the very reason I believe we will let the Iraq people try him in their newly formed tribunal. It will just flame more hatred and distrust in the middle east if we do it. But for the Iraq people to do it will show the middle east what a tryant and butcher he is.

The real killer would be if the tribunal found him innoncent. Where would that leave us, meaning the coalition.

Finally the BULLY behind the fence is really gone and all the kids can play without looking over their shoulders. The WMD are out there, they just like SH himself are buried underground (remembe rhe had 3 months to bury them) underground and may never be found, but as for the Dictator's capture the people are fiinally free. The Iraqi people have aided in the capture of SH as well they will stop the violence, because they know who the bombers are (the mere thought of the bully behind the fence has protected them until now!!). Now the interim goverment can make real plans and Iraq's stabilization forces can come home. The real dilemma I see is this; Now that he is caught, do you execute him NO then he is a Martyr, Do you keep him in detention NO then he is an alive dictator who can be freed to rule again. hmmm???? thanks for your thoughts.l
