Acriku Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 That's a little dumb Andrew, to abandon Iraq in the beginning of its rebuilding process just because Saddam may have been captured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charliec81 Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Alright, this may be on the other boards, but, since it's official:http://www.google.com.sg/url?sa=X&oi=news&start=0&num=3&q=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A64148-2003Dec14.htmlREJOICE O ZION !NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAS BEEN CAUGHT !(Iraq is not Babylon.

lowzeewee Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Yahoo news showed pictures of a bearded Saddam going through DNA tests,it appears he really is Saddam... :'(After they execute him[of course they will sentence him to that],the arabs are going to retaliate.Watch this space...

Big D Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Great. It's about time they got him. ;)I wonder what they will do with him. :DJail for life, maybe a death-sentence :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Why execute him when we can send him to Guatanamo Bay, Cuba, and obtain information? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Because Acriku, Bremer said in his press conference we're handing him over to his own people. You know, the ones that have lost family members...that'll most likely give him a painful torture and kangaroo trial before executing him.

Gobalopper Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 Here is another story, from TIME:http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,561472,00.htmland MSNBC:http://msnbc.msn.com/Default.aspx?id=3711360and some words from an Iraqi living in Baghdad: The big brother in a small holeHorrraaaaaIt's the justice day.I'm speechless.I'm crying.The tyrants' hour has finally came. I went down to the streets to share the joy with my brothers. This is our day, the day of all the oppressed and good people on earth.Tears of joy filled the eyes of all the people.Saddam, the coward, hides in a hole, shaking in fear from being captured.Not a single bullet was fired, without any resistance, God, he was even cooperative! The mighty tyrant, who exploited all our country's fortune for his personal protection, surrenders like the cowered I expected him to be.Yes, he should be prosecuted in Iraq. We will not allow anything else.We want to see him in a cage bending more and more, humiliated more and more, just as he forced all the Iraqis to bend to him, like they were his slaves. But we will not be like him, we will give him a fair trail, and he will get just what he deserves, although I have no idea what does he really deserve.It's indeed an inauspicious day for all the tyrants. Let them know that their days are near too.This is the day of all Iraqi martyrs who were slaughtered just to please his sick lust for blood.Rest in peace my brothers. The paradise is yours and the disgrace and hell is for all the tyrants on earth.Thank you American, British, Spanish, Italian, Australian, Ukrainian, Japanese and all the coalition people and all the good people on earth.God bless the 1st brigade.God bless the 4th infantry division.God bless Iraq.God bless America.God bless the coalition people and soldiers.God bless all the freedom loving people on earth.I wish I could hug you all. - Omar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Funny how the media is so biased. They say he looked tired and weary etc. Well as far as I can tell wasn't it in the middle of the night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 No, 8:30.Wouldn't you be tired and weary after spending 8 months living in a six foot hole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Living in the hole plus being on the run without regular meals. I think after running for seven months, or living in a hole seven months I'd be pretty weary and tired also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Drat. I was rather hoping that he'd never be found and end up a mystery disappearance. This just ruins the whole aura of mystery.And while we're at it, just because he's been caught, does not mean we should have gone in there. That's pretty much "No, we didn't find any weapons of mass destruction; but we've caught the guy in charge so we'll let him have it anyway."Also, I don't think he should be tried in Iraq, especially not by Iraqis. Why? Bias bias bias. Duh. Did we let Germans try the accused at the Nuremburg trials? No, I think not. Neither should the American or British forces have a go. He should be tried in a completely neutral place that wouldn't be affected by political pressure. Since no such place exists that I am aware of... he can never have a fair trial. And that is one of the basic human rights as outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. To deny him that would be hypocritical, would it not? On the other hand, so is just about everything else we've done so far... This doesn't make things easier or clear the matter up; it just makes it more complicated. We've gone from doing nothing right to being completely unable to do anything right, and that's hardly a good thing.Should have just stayed away in the first place...

Edric O Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 I don't know whether Saddam's capture is a good or a bad thing. What will this mean for the future of Iraq? They say it will demoralize the Baathist loyalists and bring stability to the region, but will it really? Saddam could become a martyr, or his capture might lull the new Iraqi government into a false sense of security. Many things could happen.And let's not forget the effect that it could have on the USA - this might get Bush re-elected. *shudders* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big D Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Some people think that the captured man is not saddam, but a look-a-like :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Doubtful Big D, they had his Mistress and Tariq Azziz identify him, as well as DNA testing...and DNA doesn't lie.Edric, I don't want to see him back in office either, but between this and the flying to Baghdad for Thanksgiving with the troops...yeah, you're probably right.
