This is great and all, and I'm very proud of the men and women who sacrificed much to get Saddam. One problem though.



We still do not have Osama yet.



Think of today as VE day (Victory over Europe). Be happy, hug, kiss, snuggle, do whatevery you want to today to celebrate a wonderful victory. I will save my cheers for when we can celebrate VO day, when we raise our collective patriotic souls to the stirring throngs of God Bless America while Osama cringes at the hands of the US military.

[Everay]

your such a downer buddy christ. people celebrated on VE day, and we should today, tommorow, and the rest of the year, hell, im gonna go set off my fire works tonight.

U.S.: 'We got him'
Saddam captured in Tikrit
Sunday, December 14, 2003 Posted: 7:38 AM EST (1238 GMT)



Saddam sports long hair and a greying beard in video taken by coalition authorities after his capture.

TIKRIT, Iraq (CNN) -- U.S. forces have captured Saddam HusseIn in a late night raid in his hometown, according to the head of the Coalition Provisional Authority.

"Ladies and gentleman, we got him," L. Paul Bremer announced Sunday. The announcement was greeted with cheers from the audience.

Lt. General Ricardo Sanchez showed video of Saddam, who had graying hair and a long beard, undergoing a medical examination after his capture.

Several Iraqi journalists stood up and shouted "Death to Saddam" after the video was shown.

Sanchez said the former leader was not injured and has been "talkative and cooperative," after 4th Infantry Division and special operations forces nabbed him at a "rural farmhouse."

"Today is a great day for the Iraqi people and the coalition," Sanchez said.

Not a single shot was fired in "Operation Red Dawn," carried out based on intelligence gathered over several months, Sanchez said.

"This is very good news for the people of Iraq," British Prime Minister Tony Blair said in a statement Sunday. "It removes the shadow that has been hanging over them for too long of the nightmare of a return to the Saddam regime. This fear is now removed." (Blair reaction)

A senior U.S. official told CNN's Dana Bash in Washington that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told President Bush Saturday afternoon (EST) of the likely capture.

In Baghdad, hundreds of Iraqis flooded the streets, firing guns into the air, singing, dancing and throwing candy into the air -- celebrating the apparent capture of the man who had ruled their lives with terror and repression for more than three decades.

The raid was based on intelligence that Saddam was at a particular location in the area, the officials said.

Video following that raid -- exclusively shot by CNN's Alphonso Van Marsh -- showed a group of U.S.-led coalition soldiers patting each other on the back -- apparently in celebration -- and taking group photos in front of a military vehicle.

The 66-year-old longtime Iraqi leader was number one on the coalition's 55 most wanted list, and his evasion has been a political sore spot for the U.S. administration. (Saddam profile)

The Iraq war began on March 19 when U.S. forces launched a "decapitation attack" aimed at the Iraqi president and other top members of the country's leadership.

Hours later, a defiant Saddam wearing a military uniform appeared on Iraqi television to denounce the U.S.-led military campaign as "criminal" and to say his countrymen would be victorious.

At least a dozen audiotapes believed to have been recorded by Saddam, 66, have been released since he was forced out of power by the coalition forces during the Iraq war. The most recent was broadcast in November.

His sons Uday and Qusay -- also on the coalition's most wanted list -- were killed in July, after U.S. forces stormed their hideout in Mosul.

Initial hopes that their father would soon be found faded in the months following that raid.

Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, the commander of U.S. ground forces in Iraq, has been dogged by reporters wanting to know the status of the search for Saddam.

"It is difficult to find him," Sanchez said, at a press briefing earlier this month. "Given that I haven't found him killed him or captured him, and I need the Iraqi people's help, and together we will find him, we will capture him, we will kill him."

The announcement comes on the same day that 20 people were killed and 32 wounded by a car bomb outside an Iraqi police station west of Baghdad, an Iraqi police officer told CNN.

Sixteen policemen were among those killed in Sunday's explosion at Khaldiyah, 80 kilometers (50 miles) from the Iraqi capital, the officer added. (Full story)

Well, if you can prove to me that Saddam was directly involved in the attack that killed a good friend of mine, then I will celebrate.

But don't get me wrong. Like I said, I'm happy and proud of the men and women who sacrificed to bring this man to justice.

[Everay]

well, even if sadam wasnt indirectly involved in 9/11, you still must admit that he needs to be brought to justice for what he has done, not only to his own people but to the surrounding nations peoples

dont change the subject, just cause you can't answer them

[Everay]

frag, stfu, he put himself in power, ya, regan gave him biological weapons, but come on, regan was a loon.

[Fragmatic]

Bullshite, the US put Saddam in power in the first place, and they have to clean this up.

The only reason it's all "patriotised" for you guys is to hide that fact, and heck, they even admitted there were no weapons of mass destruction anyway.

Oh, another question for ya - Who won Vietnam?

[MrVicchio]

Actually, Saddam came to power on his own, we backed him cause he was keeping Iran in check, and after Iran had those hostiges in 79 we really didn't like them. Don't let the leftist change history. The turth is yes, we backed him to punish Iran, and pulled our support when he went off using WMD. Of course, no good lefty will allow the truth to alter thier twisted view of the world.

[Everay]

commies dumb ass, but we like to say that we accomplished our mission objective. our mission objective was, to get the south veitnamese army up and running and able to defend the south.

[MrVicchio]

This is like the Tet Offensive, militarily, we kicked the shit out of the Vetcong, but if you listened to the media, it was a huge defeat... sigh.

[Everay]

though technicaly we lost, south veitnam was over run.

BTW, your new sig, dont you think he looks familiar, like, somone other than saddam. to me, saddam there looks a lil like a rundown professor, you know, from sliders

[Biohazzard56]

He looks like a reject from the movie cast away, but seriously who ever says this is like VE or VJ is utterly fucking stupid. WWII lasted for 5 years, and cost millions of lives, VE and VJ was a symbol of the war over, the war on terror isnt over yet in iraq. but for the Iraqis the feeling of VE or VJ is something similar. But if your not an iraqi dont say its VE or VJ day.

[Diddy Mao]

Well I Saw, a Picture on CNN, of a bunch of Iraqi's wave'n Flag's....And one of them Had a Hammer and Sickle on it :-O

[Everay]

yea. i saw that too diddy, i dunno why they had those flags, MrV, mind explaining?

[MrVicchio]

Like I freaking know why some Iraqi has a Hammer and Sickle flag... people are stupid is my stock answer to that.

[Ivan]

From what I remember from school which isn't much the Hammer and sickles symbol it self is a symbol of Working class power or something like that. People associate that symbol with communist Russia but they just used it and so now people think it's a bad symbol. Much like people associate the swastika with Nazis, but the swastika is an old symbol that meant infinity or something like that. I think the reason Nazis used it was cause Hitler thought the 3rd rike would last 1,000 years or something like that. But I could be totally wrong with all this stuff. I'm just trying to piece together info I've heard here and there over the years.

Why the hell should it be victory over Europe? :huh: :confused:

If you bothered to read the whole thing, it says it all. Treat it like Victory over Europe in WW2. Sure, we were glad we helped out kick Hitler out of Germany, but who hurt us really good?

Go on, open your History book to December 7, 1941....

That was a more joyful celebration for all Americans. VJ day, when Japan surrendered to us.


If that isn't spelled out clear enough, go back to your 7th grade history teacher and kick him/her in the ass for not teaching you.

[BUGGER]

I cheer for both, for my grandma was living in Germany and could've died with one shell.

And its 8th grade. ;)


yea whatever....I sound lika jackass, but granny could've gotten ran over by a tank, so i kinda take it serious.



But they found him today/this morning, for some reason I somehow knew yesterday....omg, i'm freaking myself out :eek: .
