"We got him"

then lots of clapping, and death to Saddam in arabic. it was funny cuz one of the female soldiers had to settle down the arabic reporter because he was so overwhelmed.

check out my owned pic at the top of page 3 and you can see hussein in a christmas theme, just for the us soldiers. hopefully some can now come home, but it's not likely.

This is a great day for America's war on terrorism.

Saddam captured.

The Clinton's hopes to return to the White House, forever dashed.

Two great evils stopped by the US Army

Two things have to be done for them to truely be forever "dashed" though..... WMD do have to be found, and Osama needs to be caught. You know the Clinton's can still easily work around a Saddam capture.

This is a great day for America's war on terror, since one of the playgrounds for Islamic fundamentalist morons is soon to be closed forever.

The Hillary threat is alive and well. We must remain vigilant.

There is one "great evil" left alive and well. I will still not feel all warm and fuzzy until UBL rests in pieces... wrapped in bacon - like the filth that he is.

The visual imagery of Saddam having lice picked out of his shaggy beard is notice to any other thug in the world that we will stay on your a&& until we get you.

Clinton lovers and other whiners with their hands out, step to the rear.

hello,

I believe what was stated above stems from a serious misunderstanding (or lack of understanding) of the dynamic between Islamic fundamentalism, terrorism, and authoritarian government in the M E.
If Iraq is a playground of Islamic political fundamentalism, it has only been opened up by deposing Saddam, not closed, because he get a tight lid on it. Contrary to what Bush will have you think, Arab countries arent homogenously ruled by fundamentalist terrorists. Iraq's Saddam neither ideologically nor politically had a reason to genuinely support Islamic fundamentalists anywhere. He only gave fleeting lip service to it where it benefitted his regime. Arab dictators are all about lip service. It's difficult to gain a real understanding of ME politics his from the thirty second sound bites that CNN and Fox News provide. Read a survey book by most anyone and you will quickly find that in the Arab world / Middle East, there are secular dictators who claim Islam, secular democracies that claim Islam, Islamic democracies, and Islamic monarchies, etc.
In reality, with the exception of three or four, every government in the Middle East is completely hostile to Islamic fundamentalists because they are a threat to the ruling power. If you believe that Saddam was somehow an active financial (or otherwise) supporter of the Islamic ideology that gave rise to Osama and the 9/11 attacks, please show me where, I'd be interested to read. It's common understanding and analysis, among both liberal and conservative analysts, that its the Saudi regime if anything that has ideological and financial ties to Osama. The common understanding is that the Saddam of today is little different from the Saddam of the 80's when he was our buddy dictator in stemming the Islamic fundamentalism of Iran (and shia's of his own country), which threatened both himself and US interests. - well, except that his political ambitions no longer coincide with our govenment's ambitions.

hope that helps.

It is useful to see the hero of arab thugs having lice picked out of his scraggly beard.

Makes them think twice about the cause they have attached to.

Losers.

He just knew that there were lots of pansies in the world who would keep turning the other cheek. Like we're made of cheeks.


International relations do NOT require the following of legal procedure. If they did we'd still be arguing over the Berlin split from WWII.

i'd be interested to read where Bush or anybody gives concrete evidence that Saddam supports al-qaeda and terrorism financially. IIRC, Bush didnt prove or give strong evidence of it. And yes, without concrete evidence we SHOULD be skeptical. (still no signs of WMD) despite Bush, Powell and everybody's claim that they had proof that there is.

what's enough for you is one thing. what's enough for our president to invade and occupy is another.

Bush never talked about Saddam's financial support because it would have inflamed other arab countries. Plus it's a touchy subject anyway.

Whenever Israel destroyed the home of a Palestinian terrorist, Saddam would send money to the terrorist's family with letters encouraging more terrorist acts.

Sounds like financial support of terrorism to me.

hi,

1. IIRC, it was that he would contribute money to the family of suicide bombers after the suicide bombers because the breadwinner is dead.

2. that's not financially supporting terrorism. if you deem all Palestinian suicide bombers terrorists, then at most it is encouraging terrorism after the fact.

3. the destruction of homes by Israelis is illegal under UN and Geneva conventions: it falls under collective punishment. and I, myself, would consider THAT terrorism because it seeks political objectives by punishing non combatant civilians.

4. on a side point, guess who's tax dollars are paying for them John Deere tractors that are destroying homes over there. Yes, money from our pockets.

5. please get the reasons organized and straight. what prompted the US to attack, invade, and occupy Iraq? It was the WMD that threatened international security, not $5000 per month to Palestinians.

6. Its not to say that what Saddam did in terms of murdering Kurds (and remember that was also done in the 80's when he was our friend that we sold weapons to) and supporting Palestinian terrorism is somehow good or insignificant. It's just that its not enough to justify war.

7. The point is to focus on making sure our actions are justified and it is wrong to just go around finding whatever excuses we can grab onto after we've just military toppled a country killing tens of thousands of their people and endangering our own troops in the process. Rationalizing is what people are dong nowadays when they say, "Yea, so what if there are no WMD's?? Saddam needed to go anyways sinec he's an evil murderer."
