Iraqi Reactions to the Capture of Saddam

<snip>
The US military has done nothing to improve security here. At this point, they are fighting for their own lives and survival. In an already desperate situation that is only doomed to worsen.

For the record, he was captured by members of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), not by US forces.

I see the mainstream media in the US, and the BBC, painting this picture of throngs of jubilant crowds swarming the streets of Baghdad in celebration of Saddam's capture. Where are these hoards? Can somebody show me? I've driven all over Baghdad in the last couple of daysÖand the only throngs of roaring Iraqis I have seen have been those firing weapons in the air, along with a parading suicide bomber or two thrown in the mix, chanting over and over,

"In our soul, in our blood, we will sacrifice for you, Saddam!"
