Congratulations to the Officers and Men of the U.S. 4th Infantry Division, "Ivy", and their comrades in the Kurdish Peshmergha, on the event of the capture of Saddam al-Hussein.

Well done, gentlemen. Cigars all around.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Really, this was a wonderful raid and capture. All the best to the Ivy Division.

Now, for the perp walk!

BTW, how are they taking it over at DU?

(....snicker....)

Comments, people!

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Congratulations are in order. Haven't been the biggest fan of Bush but he deserves kudos for today's success.

A quick review of DU to get the early DNC position (Know thy enemy). Some early exceprts:

-- Well, I might as well go back to bed now. This is all they'll be talking about on the Sunday news, and Bush will be praised all day. I'm happy for the Iraqis, if this is the truth. But even if he's captured, it's still far from over.

-- So if true, it was the Kurds that got him and told the world, not the US troops and the Pentagon media whores reporting. Hmm... but the US will claim the capture.

-- Would Saddam be so foolish as to take refuge in Tikrit? Have they already had him in custody for some time time and are just now announcing it for some political purpose? Why was he captured and not killed like his two sons? This is the beginning of the 2004 presidential race... could there be some political advantage to Bush at this time?

-- They still haven't found Bin-Laden so it would suprise me if they actually found Saddam.

-- Are they going to let him get to trial and let him tell his story and implicate some Bush adminstration people? Or, is there going to be some kind of accident?

-- He's got serious dirt on people. Seriously- don't bet on him making it to trial, IF they let the Hague get ahold of him in the first place (even though he CLEARLY should be there- the US has no jurisdiction over his war crimes). On edit: Man, that would be great if he could take down some of Bushco with him.

-- We've now apparently captured the problem we helped create.

-- Is there some anti-Bush angle to this that we've been missing?

-- Well, outside of the fact that nothing about Hussein's capture changes the ill will felt towards America for our unilateral action, all the dead Iraqi civilians, the dead American soldiers, the crumbling infrastructure and so on, and will likely do little to curb the violence in the country...then no, there's no anti-Bush angle to it.

-- CNN anchor says that while the capture of Saddam Hussein will likely play very well in the United States, it probably won't make a hill of beans to the Iraqis.

-- At least the buzz of this will have cooled-down by the time Nov 2 rolls around again.

-- Mixed blessing, I'm glad Saddam has been captured, but I don't think we'll ever hear the end of this from the repugs. I'm dreading the next few weeks.

Now I need another shower.

"Here we go Ar-my,...HERE WE GO!"

Nice job!

[TomGuy]

Not sure if this is the group of Coalition Heroes who
made the capture, but they look good anyway [smile]

[KantianBurke]

Saadamm better fill us in as to the whereabouts of Captain Scott Speicher!!!

[Broadside Joe]

Yes it was reported that these were the guys that nabbed him.

[endthematrix]

I need a Saddam captured poster gif!!!

[exnavy]

WA-HOOO

[lainde]

4th ID ROCKS!!!!!!! God bless you guys!!!!!!!

[TomGuy]

[kjam22]

I agree... CONGRATULATIONS! And THANK YOU

[Prime Choice]

Post this pic to them. Then step back and put on your fallout gear. ; )

[TomGuy]

Bremer: We got'em!

[mystery-ak]

A Big HOOAH to the 4th ID!

[Tax-chick]

Cheers to our Army men, and the Kurds! Now if only the Kurds get to decide Saddam's fate ...

[Free Vulcan]

I am glad it was them. They missed out on almost all of the combat because of being delayed, so this is about the best consolation prize you can ask for.

Man what a bunch of ill-willed whinning LOSERS those people are over at DU.

That statement makes me really mad...They are really just all about lies and B.S. aren't they?
