SADDAM HUSSEIN CAPTURED

Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been captured in his home town of Tikrit, according to reports.

There has been no independent verification of the news but Sky New's Foreign Editor Tim Marshall says the source of the news is usually reliable.

The US Defence Department says it has had no confirmation of the claims, which come from Iraqi Kurd leader Jalal Talabani, says the Iran news agency IRNA.

Hundreds of exultant people have taken to the streets of Kirkuk, firing weapons into the air in celebration.

A press conference has been announced for 12pm GMT.

In Baghdad, a spokeswoman for the US-led operation notified reporters that a "very important" announcement will be made at the press conference.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14, 2003 -- “We got him.” U.S. Ambassador L. Paul Bremer II announced in Baghdad, Iraq, at about 7 a.m. this morning. “Saddam Hussein was captured Saturday, Dec. 13, at about 8:30 p.m. local time, in a cellar in the town of Adwar, which is about 15 kilometers south of Tikrit.” “This is a great day in Iraq’s history,’ Bremer said to the Iraqi people. “For decades, hundreds of thousands of you suffered at the hands of this cruel man. For decades Saddam Hussein divided you citizens against each other. For decades he threatened and attacked your neighbors. Those days are over forever. “Now it is time to look to the future – to your future of hope, to a future of reconciliation. Iraq’s future, your future, has never been more full of hope.

"The tyrant is a prisoner. The economy is moving forward. You have before the prospect of a sovereign government in a few months. “With the arrest of Saddam Hussein, there is a new opportunity for the members of the former regime, whether military or civilian to end their bitter opposition. Let them now come forward in a spirit of reconciliation and hope, lay down their arms and join you, their fellow citizens, in the task of building the new Iraq. “Now is the time for all Iraqis, Arabs and Kurds, Sunnis and Shia, Christian and Turkimen, to build a prosperous, democratic Iraq at peace with itself and with its neighbors.” Related American Forces Press Article: Sanchez credits Iraqi cooperation with making precise coalition strikes possible

I am so proud of our soldiers. God bless them!!!!

The kind of compassion they showed a man like saddam is just so American!

[Constitution Day]

Wonder how long it's going to take Dean, Europe, and Dan Rather, to spin this into a disasterous failure?

Give them time, M.A.P.
I'm sure there's much gnashing of teeth now among the whole motley bunch.

Still, I wouldn't be surprised to hear some begrudging, yet sneering praise from H. Dean today.

You guys are always GOOD!

I know ...

As soon as I got up and heard it, I headed to the computer to join you guys.

How sweet it is.

[B-Bear]

Anybody know when we'll be hearing from our president?

[Salvation]

Hooray!

Now what will the dims say?

LOL!

[MissAmericanPie]

I can just see Rather, Dean, the Wanna Be's, Chirac, popping asprin and pumping up the old courage in their bathroom mirrors attempting to convince themselves that the public will buy it, the public is stupid, as they practice keeping a straight face while spinning the most unbelievable lie of their sorry lives.

[Ex-Dem]

Head of Iraq's Constitutional Monarchy Movement al-Sharif Ali bin al-Hussein said Saddam was hiding "like a rat".

"The US soldiers dragged him from under vegetables," he said.

"He did not resist. He was hiding like a rat under vegetables."

[Ex-Dem]

I heard it was supposed to be around noon. I could be wrong though.

[TomGuy]

Anybody know when we'll be hearing from our president?

Around noon, Eastern, 11 Central time.

[ChemistCat]

There was rat excrement in the hole where he was lying.

Honestly, I think I'd have a bit of compassion.

Not much, but some! Till I remembered him having women raped in front of their children as torture.

The rubber-gloved louse check was probably the best video I've ever seen anywhere.

So much for those 'he's in Syria, no wait, he's in the Ukraine, no no wait, we really think he's in Russia, somewhere' stories from Debka...
