CNN Breaking: Saddam's bodyguards captured.
It's like paint by numbers. Saddam will be dead by the end of the weekend.

Thanks for the laugh. I just viewed those graphic photos of Saddam's sons which I had steered clear of. THEY WERE EMBEDDED IN A POST rather than just the link to them. Then this thread popped up and I wondered if they too will be tortured, barbarically mutilated and killed...so that they can be publicized for our viewing pleasure as well.

Interesting, how cavalier the pentagon is parading the mutiliation of the war machines conquests before the viewing public like that. Funny, how they do not dare to publicize the iraqi civilian carnage that is being racked up by this liberating escapade. That might solicit or instill a sense of humanity. The viewing public might find themselves more apt to protest. We can not have that now.

3. what about the eveil CULTURE SECRETARY
I just shook my head when CNN hyped her capture. Why was she on the list, for being associated with Saddam.

4. They've also discovered Saddam's financiers in a secret bunker
near Rockville, MD. This bunker is known to inside sources as "The White House."

7. I predict a run on morticians putty
With the help of a talented artiste, you too could look like Saddam's cadaver.

The US publicized the doubles so heavily, no one, gno-one, know-one will EVER believe he's dead.

9. Too soon. Big mistake by the Pentagon.

I don't think he's alive in Iraq.

None of his video or audio has proved to me that he is alive.

If he is alive, I suspect that he fled Iraq long ago.

Would the military produce a body now? Seems like they believe resistance would stop if they can produce a body. any body, just call it Saddam.

But I think the military is working their scam too soon. After they produce "Saddam's body", the fighting won't stop. It won't stop because there is going to be a civil war there unless a legitimate intervening force brings the Sunnis and Shias to the table.

Next step? Sadly, a mis-step by U.S. military either
a) massacre of innocent Iraqis during a "security maneuver"
or
b) massacre of innocent American soldiers due to a Beirut style barracks bombing.

I still see no good outcome unless Bush asks for U.N. to take over, which Halliburton, Shell, BP, and Bechtel would never allow.

14. This may sound dumb
but wouldn't Saddam be with his bodyguards? If they got the guards, wouldn't he be in the immediate vicinity - unless they no longer are in his employ.

16. I think Saddam was nowhere near those bodyguards

I think those bodyguards were doing something else. Their own agenda.

That's just what I think. They could confess to serving him breakfast in bed yesterday and I still would think what I think.

17. They will never be allowed to stand trial
Could embarrass the regime if all those nasty BFEE ties came out, don't you know.

BTW, bu$h's handlers know exactly where Saddam is (bin Laden, too, for that matter) and his body will be trotted out at the precise moment that Puppet Boy's approval ratings go below 40 per cent.
