I did a search and didn't see this posted.

Hope the bugger is dead...

[Mr.Clark]

Wow, so maybe that Observer report wasn't bs after all...

[MEG33]

Just saw it posted on another blog that the govt is testing DNA...no confirmation if true.

[Bubba_Leroy]

The fact that we haven't found Saddam yet is proof positive that he never really existed. Isn't that what the democRATs are saying about WMD?

[dixiechick2000]

FNC reported not too long ago that the gov't is testing some DNA.

[MEG33]

I know how wonderful it would be for us and for Iraq for him to be dead.

"We were misled," Howard Dean

Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, said that Mr. Bush "misled every one of us."

Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic National Committee chairman, said that Vice President Dick Cheney's assertion on March 16 that Mr. Hussein might have "reconstituted nuclear weapons" left the administration with a "huge credibility gap."

As a dog returns to his own vomit, So a fool repeats his folly.

Prov. 26:11

[dixiechick2000]

Especially for Iraq...

[Bubba_Leroy]

"We were misled," Howard Dean, a rabid liberal, a complete idiot, and a Democratic presidential hopeful, said today on the NBC News program "Meet the Press." The United States was led to war, he said, "based on facts that turned out not to be accurate. I think that's pretty serious."

O.K., I remember that one of Clinton's wars was based on claims of genocide that turned out to be mostly fabricated. Does anyone remember the specifices (I realize that it has only been a few years, but I have tried to block most of the Clinton years out of my memory).

[dixiechick2000]

Kosovo? I, too, have tried to block those years...;o)

Lots of speculation.......

If they are floating this, they know. They must have radio traffic coming from the convoy, pre-hit, that made it certain.

[MEG33]

Oh man!Hope is rising!

[Lazamataz]

Do more than hope. The Senate Intelligence Commitee is given the best information in the world.

If they are cautiously advancing the idea, it's a done deal.

[dixiechick2000]

Thanks for all of the links!

Hopefully, the guy is worm food.

Do they have worms in Iraq?

[dixiechick2000]

Thanks! I'm feeling better and better about this.

Sen. Roberts should know, huh?

[Capt. Tom]

Oh Christ I hope its is Saddam and we have not just taken out a refugee convoy.

I crossed my fingers that it wasn't another wedding party wipe out on our part. - tom

[Lazamataz]

Do they have worms in Iraq?

Islamic worms.

They surface five times a day to pray.

[MEG33]

Fear of disappointment!I'll stick to hope they got him and then bake the cake and shoot off fireworks when it's a confirmed kill!
