Vladimir never has anything good to say. all of his posts are very negative with a certain amount of psychotic attitude about them.
very strange
But at least he found a better AVATAR - - (wonder if he made the connection himself, or relied on a Swayze hint... hmmmmmm)

In honor of our troops/sailors/airmen I made a little celebratory video. Here's the link lemme know if it actually works.
It appears to have a copywrite of 3/23/03 - - nice tune, good pix, would be better if it concluded with a few snapshots of the ragged-looking snake they pulled out of the "spider hole" yesterday.

Start out with the dictator in his uniform and the smug smile - - BOOM - - snap to the bearded, weary tunnel-dweller he came to be.

Flash back to a picture of him stretching out his powerful arm towards his obedient servants - - BOOM - - snap to the vagrant having his mouth inspected by a gloved doctor.


I'm glad he's been captured, and grateful to the men and women who serve our country and made the capture possible. But I realize that there is much more work to be done, and I feel for every family who has lost loved ones in this fight, and for those who inevitably WILL lose in the days, weeks, and months to come.

As a symbol, his capture is truly a great event. But his capture doesn't make it safe to walk the streets of Baghdad. It doesn't mean our soldiers, sailors, and airmen are no longer at risk. Their jobs are still vital, and dangerous. Sure, it would be nice if Saddam would tell us where he put all the nukes and germs, but I'm realistic. It would be nice if he were to tell all of his followers to lay down their arms and honor the authority of the new Iraqi government, but I'm not that naive.

Hopefully, though, those who would continue to follow his ways in fear that he would return to power and punish those who didn't fight for him, will now realize that he will NEVER return to power, and it's time drop the fight. Hopefully our warriors will be invigorated in the pursuit of our goals, the establishment of peace, security, stability, and democracy in the country. We can hope that his capture will ultimately mean fewer lives lost in the accomplishment of the mission.

Oh, and it gives Howard Dean an excuse to make a fool of himself.

That's a good idea. Yeah. I made the video back in March. Now that we finally got the bastard I've got to update it.
 
Hurray for the military! Nice going guys.

Guess Saddam will be going to the dentist for a few weeks, Marathon Man style, and answering a few tough questions.

I do not believe he was behind all the attacks, but it is interesting that they subsided in the Tikrit area 3 weeks ago.

The majority of the fighting has been against insurgents from other countires. Just today, the Brits let go some from Jordan, Syria and Lebanon that they had been "detaining" for a few weeks.

Now keep killing the rest of the Arabs that have come to Iraq for Jihad. There is one palestinian scumbag in particular that has been spotted there planning an op. Kill 'em all and stack 'em like cordwood.
 
To all the men and women in uniform, GREAT JOB again!

Thank heavens they caught Saddam before the elections....

New Poll:

How long before the Democrats nominate Saddam for our upcoming Presidential election?

1) 24 hours.
2) 24 1/2 hours.
3) 24 3/4 hours.

Aw come on....That was a little funny........

I can't believe this. I'm crying here. I feel that we now don't have a chance in this election.

How telling....a Dean supporter is crying (not for joy, mind you) because Saddam was captured! HELLLLOOO!?!?!?


Wait...it gets better...how about this one:


I think it is shameful that the ACLU has not commented on the obvious mistreatment Hussein has suffered at the hands of the American military.

Need they say more? Those of you on the fence next November, realize this is the kind of thinking you'd be voting for if you vote D.

PS---One more for the road!



The ACLU and UN need to get involved because we are HUMILIATING SADDAM for political gain!

We need to capture Karl Rove and Richard Perle and the rest of the PNAC imperialists in their spider holes!

War crimes tribunal for Bush!

Goooooo Dean!

AMERICA - LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!

You guys are all **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** Nazis. You know it, too, which bothers the hell out of me. Killing/capturing Saddam was never the point of us trucking our butts over to Iraq. However, I'm sure all you Bushies will tout this as the end all to be all.

Come back when Bush has some good ideas for this country that benefit someone more than Halliburton and Enron. All I seem to hear is some hot-air-filled cowboy rhetoric about f-ing with the wrong country and patriotism and blah blah blah. As far as I'm concerned, you all will have to do a better job of convincing me that Bush ISN'T the next Hitler. He's apparently got all of you fooled. Until you do, I'm going to sit here and yell back at you just as loudly. Suppose I should leave the country, too. We don't like dissent here in America...

Just go vote in November. Quit your forever belly achin' about "liberals." You wouldn't know one if it hit you. You label Bush as if he's ACTUALLY a conservative. Self-righteous warmonger, maybe, but not a conservative. A TRUE conservative would never get us balled up in this mess - yes, it's STILL a mess even with Hussein in our hands - and would concentrate on his own country.

Until he does, however, enjoy your lack of overtime pay, lack of unemployment checks, and the weakened states of your respective labor unions. Oh yeah, you won't be able to get lap dances, smoke in bars, or watch R-rated movies anymore, either, because our "conservative" politicians feel it necessary to REGULATE our lives. Ten Commandments forever!

Give me a break.
 
Geeez merikeyegro....Find a paper bag and breath into it.

Then go to the supermarket and get a case or two of SAM-e.
 
Merikeyegro and the other liberals, you'll probably revell in reading this link from NewsMax.com

To think anyone, and I mean ANYONE would go as far as to think, or even say outloud for that matter, that the democrats need another 9/11 style attack to beat Bush ought to be tossed not only from the cushy jobs, but into a cozy cell with their buddies Osama and Sadam.

Those who think we went to war with Iraq for oil sales are completely dillusional. I sure hope you don't have these fantasy dreams while in flight!

Read how former Clintonites view this great news.

I'm typically not one to voice on political matters on a message board, but really folks, what does it take to make some of you happy? Oh yeah, I remember, a brutal, murdering, terrorist financing dictator still in power, not in jail. :eek:
 
To all those who don't think capturing SH is good for our country or this war is about Halliburton. I have one question.

Will the capture and eventual trial of a despot, acknowledged by his supporters and allies to be one of the most heartless, cruel men to inhabit a heartless, cruel century, have a moderating effect on other dictators and despots who wage unrestricted warfare on their populations?

Why or why not?
 
Probably not. These kind of megomaniacs are think they're immortal.

There will be some satisfaction seeing the great Sadaam and his henchmen doin' the dance at the end of an Iraqi rope.

I'm glad there are people who are this gullible in the US today.
 
Liberal or conservative, the title doesnt matter, they are all puppets of special interest groups anyways.
However I do think Bush is a decent man, but the recent cabotage vote has hit a little too close to home for me. Republicans were the main force behind passing it, which could potentialy put myself and other family members out of work in the not too distant future.
 
to all the idiots that think that finally capturing saddam is somehow bad for us...

wake up... the anti-coalition countries...even france (your mecca) is happy about this capture... chirac said he's "delighted". congratulations.. you've just passed up the french in being the most disillusioned and idiotic people on the planet.

and for those who think this is bad for the democratic campaign... holy sh!t...get some perspective for once. and if thats all you got for a campaign then you're pretty sorry.

i have to agree with be200pilot, i'm not too happy about the cabotage vote and what it may be the start of.
 
Remember the six captured pilots that Saddam paraded in front of the cameras during the first Gulf War? Especially that British Tornado back-seater, the guy who'd obviously had the sh_t kicked out of him?

They should let those guys have Saddam in a small room for about half-an-hour... :D
 
Re: What if this is true?

Now, how would this put a spin on things? I'm not saying it's bad that he was caught. I'm more of a realist. But what if he was pulling everybodys leg in regards to the WMD's?
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/12/15/sprj.irq.main/index.html

So what if he was? You mess with the bull, you get the horns. If an airplane you were flying had a guy in back that said he had a grenade and you have your lucky .45 in the cockpit. Would you hesitate to put one in the head and two in the chest, or would you demand to see the weapon first?

Just a small point.
 
But what if he was pulling everybodys leg in regards to the WMD's?

We already know that there were WMD's, confirmed by inspectors. What we are not 100% certain about is the destruction of ALL of the WMD's. This seems doubtful, since Sadaam was an uncooperative guy, to say the least.

What is more likely, I think, is that Sadaam managed to hide or remove the WMD's to Syria while we screwed around trying to get some sort of "permission" from the UN to go in and do what needed to be done according to 1441 and the peace agreement.

Yes, it was good for PR, but a bad strategic move.

Lack of overtime?? If companies are laying off wouldnt the remaining workers have to pickup the slack with overtime ?
With unemployment going down there will be fewer unemployment checks. Besides unemoployment is only a stop gap, not an endless social service. If it was unending there would not be any incentive to get a job.
Weakened labor unions? We can only hope.

Why would he lie about WMD's?

Well, Israel actually has the bomb, and has attacked Iraq before (air strike on nuclear plant). We have a long way to go before we will understand the Arab mind, but I don't think it is a stretch that he would exaggerate his arsenal to intimidate Israel and improve his standing among fellow Arabs. The question remains why our intelligence was so poor to not pick up on this deception.

...and please don't give me the crap about gassing the Kurds. Yes it was reprehensible, but if we were so outraged by that, why didn't we say anything at the time, and why did Donald Rumsfeld meet Hussein and shake his hand after the fact? That's because we liked the fact that he was fighting Islamic fundamentalists in Iran at the time.
Now he is gone, and we expect the Sunnis, Shiite, Kurds, and march Arabs to live happily ever after inside a border created not along ethnic or political lines, but an arbitrary one created by the British Empire. I sincerely hope we can pull that off, but is going to be a monumentally difficult task.
In this country we have grown accustomed to having our ideal candidate lose, but still on some level rallying around our president, knowing that we can kick him out of office in four years if he really screws up. Will the Shiites stand by while a Sunni president acts in a manner they find disagreeable? Or vice-versa? The idea that removing Hussein will lead to stability in the middle east certainly remains to be seen.
