This article provided more detail on his "capture." The family had been negotiating with coalition forces for his surrender.

It also states "On Tuesday, Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, announced the surrender of Uglah Abid Saqir al-Kubaysi, No. 50 on the list, and a leader of the Baath Party in southeastern Iraq. "

So... if the claims made by "experts" on Iraqi affairs and the Iraqi International Congress "sources" are correct and Saddam is still alive and reforming his Baath part under a new name.... how come all his pals are turning themselves in? And why don't those interviewing the "experts" and others making these claims about Saddam beling alive ask them that question?!

Baath part = Baath party
beling = being

Sorry, I have a bad cold and my head feels like a lead ball.

Because then they might have to admit that we're making progress in Iraq and they can't do that.

Its is curious, the dichotomy of views. The leftist political sluts (as Robert Scheer and Senator Byrd) see controversy and conspiracy in the Iraq action... I see something beyond heroes. James Fenimore Cooper framed the image of men such as these. The job that they (the soldiers and patriots) do is of immeasurable description.

We feel pride... and appreciation.
