I Live
Now Saddamn will know how his victims felt...
Wow, and when I entered this thread I was expecting a bunch of anti-American anti-war hatespeak.
I enjoy being wrong...so far.
Ya Skunt
You know, I was thinking about it, but I realized that, just like cheering like a moron, it wouldn't do dick. The guy was living in a hole, guys. He wasn't doing much and most likely wasn't doing much for the past few months.
But regardless, that it happened doesn't actually MEAN much. This "war on terror" is nowhere close to over.
...
This is excellent news, but I'm totally surprised he allowed himself to be taken alive. With everything he has to face now, I figured he'd rather put a bullet in his brain than surrender.
I say put him on public display in a plexiglass box, like David Blaine.
But anyways, maybe now he can help the army find those pesky WMDs...

Now what the fuck is that suposed to mean you little piece of shit?

Exactly.

More like 35 years late, at the very least.
can't wake up
Maybe Belgium should've done it 35 years ago.

Ahaha look out! His time travelling buddies will bust him outta the jail!
He looks a little like John Rhys Davis in that pic, creepy.
And I Have Cut My Body
Jesus, Almaci, I know you didn't start it but just cheer like a good boy.
So I forced my hands in my pockets and felt with my thumbs and gallantly handed her my very last piece of gum.
Servant of the Warsmen
Yeah, woohoo, huzzah, or something like that.
Assuming that's really him, it's a good thing they captured him but I think the significance is symbolic, at best. I kinda doubt he was orchestrating attacks from where he was. But I can still take some comfort in the idea that he'll finally get his ass deep-fried over what he did to all those people, and what he caused to happen...
But I still think it's amazing they can find one guy in a hole in the desert, yet they still can't find all those piles of WMDs that were supposedly lying around...
MORAL VICTORY!
Yeah, just let it slide Almaci.. there are diffrent threads for it. Yoshi's out of line, but you don't have to get out of line on his account.
o_O
MORAL VICTORY!
BTW: Terrific news.

MORAL VICTORY!
... this was funny however.

Dude I had a big smile on my face when I heard it, still have.
Im just sad that it was the US that found him, id rather would have had some Irani veterans from the Iran/Iraq war to have done that and that they would have had some fun with him before turning him over.
I was expecting Almaci to say he should be let loose because the Coalition shouldn't be in Iraq in the first place.Oh, and Almaci, it's possible to NOT make 3 different posts in 4 minutes. Try the edit button.
On a higher note--IT'S SNOWNIG! I'm actually watching a Jets game because of this.
Servant of the Warsmen
Heh, as I was typing that last post I didn't realize how cynical it sounded.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that somebody will get a chance at his ass (again, assuming it's him and not a lookalike).
I guess I'm just disenchanted with the whole thing, no matter what Yoshi or Stone or Almaci says....
Old Country Doctor
I guess I really should spend a couple of minutes and hack that post concatenator hack back in, but I'm not done testing it yet...Oh, and Almaci, it's possible to NOT make 3 different posts in 4 minutes. Try the edit button.
Too bad the last word thread ain't alive--I'd spam it up like hell.
...
Found this already.
Saddam's capture photos are going to be the photoshop fodder of the month.
Sausage-in-training
I posted this on another board: True but it would be nice if the US would stop supporting a**holes like him to begin with.
Im glad he is captured but hey wasnt that Rumsfeld shaking Saddam´s hand in the 80s and declaring him a great friend and ally of the US and wasnt it the CIA claiming Saddam didnt do nothing and it was Iran who was gassing the Kurds in the north and its own soldiers, and while we are at it wasnt it US ambasador for Iraq April Glaspie who told Saddam that the US would regard it as an internal Arab matter if he was to Invade Quwait and thus the US wouldnt meddle?
There is a reason why so many people in the region have a deep rooted distrust in the US and not all of that has to do with Palestine, there are plenty of other examples from all over the world and yes to this day the hipocrasy continues and as the worlds sole superpower the resentment against US words and its actions will sadly continue(recent example Bush his remarks to Taiwan)
Im glad Saddam is gone, I was one of those who protested the aid he got from Europe and the US in the 70s and the 80s, how about the creation of such people is finaly stopped?
How about there is real support for democraticaly elected leaders even if their policies are not to oure direct liking instead of sidelining them and supporting military coups or whatever and trying to work with them for a greater good(unlike whats hapening in Venezuela, Palestine, Taiwan etcetera etcetera).
This capture for me is bittersweet,
Sausage
blah blah blah...
YAY. We should execute him, on Pay Per View.
Unless that beard is fake, he has got one hell of a set of hair folicles on his face. That is faaaat beardage in the amount of time he was in hiding.
the original and best
I like how I'm watching Wolf Blitzer try to decipher whether Saddam was leading the Iraqi insurgencies or not...come on, the man was living in a rat hole.
This is good news, though.
I'm Tommy Tallarico
Good news. Too bad anyone has to fuck up the mood by going "Yeah, left wing, EAT IT!" like anyone actually wanted him to go free, or like Bush himself actually captured him.

It's good to see him captured. About goddamn time.
You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.

Voila

No, just stupid.

Or let him fight Mike Tyson on PPV. It'd be the biggest event in the history of big events. And he'd die anyways, too!
