Breaking News: Saddam Hussein captured!

[phantomhitman]

wow, kind of sureal on my end. i woke up, checked my email....played a little medal of honor......watched some football....and never heard a word!!! i am glad they got him. kind of off topic, but do you think the soldier that found him gets the $25 million?

[BobTheCow]

BAHH!!! I was out camping in the snow all weeknd, just got home a couple hours ago and found all this out!!!!!
Anybody have a link to what exactly has happened so far, or how they found him or anything?? Exciting stuff...

**edit** started reading the link to the MSNBC article from earlier in the thread, that explains things pretty well.

I want to extend my thanks to all the current servicemen and women who put in many months of pain and suffering trying to locate the tyrant.

This is a great moment in history and shall not be forgotten.

The $25 million will probably go to the family that sold him out! Apparently they were close allies of Saddam's family.

I like listening to the talking heads this morning. One on KYW made a great point. Saddam is a coward. He had plenty of time to fight or kill himself before we nabbed him. The retired general had a great line'" It's kind of hard for 600 soldiers to sneak up on anybody!"

I heard that they probably <i>wouldn't</i> be eligible for the reward, since they were already being convicted for other crimes...

Option 1) cooperate, tell us what we want to know (especially WMD) and we'll send you to the Hague, where they'll keep you in a nice prison with TV, a comfy couch, and a brand new N-Gage. Or, option 2) be difficult, give us grief and we'll send you back to Iraq to let them put you on trial and you can live in one of their prisons, where life will probably not be comfortable.

The TV already says he hs fully cooperated with the US. Also DNA proves it is actually him.

i think we should just kill him (realize i am a 14 year old boy who doesn't know much yet about politics). I don't trust the idea of that madman still alive, i believe he has way to many allies we don't know about, and can still get away. We should just shoot him on the spot, as much as that will make Bush look really badly, i don't care, because I hate bush, and i hope he doesn't get relected

Or not.

14 year old kids that don't know anything of politics shouldn't be running around posting liberal garbage.

ya i think that might be a good idea. We don't want to do anything drastic.

[p8ntball1016]

Liberal garbage? So i guess progressive thought is completely useless?

i actually happen to know a lot, not as much as a lot of you, but you'd be surprised how much i watch the news, and read the paper.

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

Contradiction? I think so. So which is it?
