This was exactly my concern, its a bit too convenient that they found him at the time they did.

And for confirmation, the beard wasnt fake. Saddam's capture has been all over the news stations. I dont want to even watch Bush's bogus speech coming up in an hour or so. Hes going to have that big smile across his face and everything. It just disgusts me even more.

Yes Saddam was a tyrant, yes he was a horrible, dictator oppressor, etc. I hope though they go through atleast with their plan and give him a fair trial by the new Iraqi Government. Saddam looks very tired, and almost sad.

Im very much hoping for Bush to not be re-elected, and maybe get someone like Howard Dean in there, to straighten out the mess Bush has left behind.

And watch whats going to happen we found Saddam and thus we will find his hidden weapons of mass destruction.

We already knew where Saddam was all along. We probabally had spies months before the war searching for his ass. Its pretty obvieous that all of this is a political move right before the primary elections. which is a good move on Bush's part. Bravo we have Saddam and I hope this man pays dearly for what he has done to his people for the last decade and a half. He will be sentenced to death most likely by the Iraqi people if not before the trial he will probabally be assasinated by the Iraqi people. But all I know is that this isnt the end of the war. And even after we find Bin Ladden there are others. The President made it clear we will not rest until we abolished the world of these radicals.

If Bush wins the next election for president of the United States, it will be the first time he has won. Al Gore won by thousands of votes, but because of our craptacular system, the people are irrelavent and cheaters come out on top. I don't even like Gore, but he should have been president by all fairness. I don't think George W. has a chance even with this recent news, his mistakes are many and his politics are bogus.

Well you can't reason with the Democrats and the Librals. They are not being rational. Thats just their excuse on why they hate Bush. Because of the election. All I got to say Get over it. Bush will win again just watch.

We'll find weapons of Mass destruction....when The U.S. plants some in Iraq, just so Bush doesnt look like more of an idiot.

Im sorry but starting a war with a cause that is false, and using false intelligence to justify your cause is completely wrong. I think George Bush should be on trial too, and explain to the people, why such an honest man, and such a Religious man, lied and deceived the entire country into this war.

And Im not trying to argue with you buddy, but Gore did win the election. He won the popular vote, ask any political anaylist not on Bush's payroll, he did in fact win by thousands of votes. Its just Bush won the electoral college.

I still find it strange that the state that originally Gore had won (Florida) plus the large amount of electoral votes, which would have secured his Presidency. Instead for some reason, Florida then took back this statement, and said that they were wrong, and Bush won the election, even after they had shown Gore winning with his votes on the television, etc.

I may just be looking into it too much, but its just ironic, that the Florida's governor is George Bush's brother. I just find it odd, that this state which was Gore's and had the needed electoral votes and would have made Gore win, was then changed out of no where to Bush's won over states....

Al Gore won by 539,898 votes. If you don't believe me, go find out for youself. Black Floridians are overwhelmingly democratic, Gore recived 90% of the minority votes in Florida. It is also fact that George W. Bush, with the help of his cousin Jeb, and others made sure any person with any criminal record (including misdemeanors) were not allowed to vote. 173,000 registered voters in Florida were wiped from the voter rolls (even those with similar names, social security numbers, and email adresses). over 50% of these people were black. An additional 8,000 of the registered voters were denied there constitutional rights because a false list of convicts were presented by Texas. The list displayed people who did there time and people who just had misdemeanors along with the felons. Linda Howell herself recieved a letter saying she was a felon and could not vote in the election. She was not a felon... in fact she was the elections supervisor of Madison County, Florida! Give me some solid facts that say George W Bush won, I'll listen.

I'm surprised America hasn't planted WoMD already.

It is my theory that America gave Tony Blair false info so he would join them...i don't mind Tony Blair, he's quite thooper. Hopefully he'll win next election...not this Howard person...silly, little Tory.

Well hooray for everything, they found him. Now the Iraqis and troops can celebrate a bit more, which they deserve after all they've done, whether they should have been there or not: which they shouldn't have been. As for everything else, this doesn't really mean anything, except that Saddam can confirm once again that there are no weapons of mass destruction and that America had no right to enter Iraq. Yes, they've 'freed' a large proportion of the populace (and killed most of the rest), but they still had no right. Saddam was a tyrant, a dictator and a wicked man, but he didn't interfere with the affairs of countries he had no claim to, unlike a certain other dictator.

Ah yes, now all this tosh about a 'just war'. What Mr Bush and Mr Blair don't seem to realise (and in not doing so prove themselves to have no right whatsoever to be leaders of any country, town or pair of scissors) is that by definition they didn't meet a single one of the six criteria for a just war: the war was not initiated by a legal head of state (or who should have been legal head of state); there was no proof that Iraq posed a threat to anyone else; the war was most definitely not the last resort; innocent civilians were hurt - they were even fired at intentionally; and a big question mark hangs over the motives behind the war. I still think America wanted to get their greedy hands on the country's oil, while Bush and Blair just wanted to get into the history books. The sixth criterium is that peace must be restored after the war has finished. Of course America declared the war was over long ago and then look what happened. We'll just have to wait and see, but in all honesty it doesn't make the phrase 'just war' any more morally acceptable to be used by either Bush or Blair.

We(USA) probably had Saddam a while ago and Bush wanted to wait for the best political time to release the good news. I can just see him smiling like an idiot now. Grrrrrrrrrrr!

I think America was justified in the war with Iran, but Iraq was to speculative for a justified war. Yes, Saddam is evil, but I think junior Bush wanted a victory for pappa and oil to tell ya the truth. I'm glad Saddam will pay for what he did, but I didn't agree with this war in the beginning. America has pissed off way too many countires in this war. Something bad is headed for America.....mark my words. If we didn't need evidence for our Iraq war, then any country can do the same to us!(USA)

Why is everyone pissed at us for going to Iraq to liberate them from a Tyrant? Is it because Bush is running our Country and that the election was screwy? Whats the reason behind the hatred towards our actions?

One of the reasons is his policies suck, he doesnt know wha thes talking about half the time, but that wasnt my mine gripe. Even the election, wasnt the main problem.

I dont like the fact that he deceived and lied to the entire U.S., and its citizens, and the entire world. By manufacturing evidence, and giving out false information, intelligence, etc. I could go on for a while but I dont feel the need to fight any further on this.

I just feel he should be Impeached just as Clinton was, for lieing to the entire country about Iraq, and for his reasons of starting this war.

Yes, yes! Exactly! Of course... the same applies for the Vietnam War... and the Korean War... and the Bay of Pigs Incident... and pretty much every other war America has fought after WW2.

Indeed, huzzah for the Iraqis. I'm also happy for the coalition troops who will be returning home. Unfortunately, a good portion of them will be staying for "rebuilding" of Iraq. And, most likely, more of them will continue to die as a result of Iraqi/Taliban radicals.

Oh, and I've got more to complain about (surprise, surprise). The Merkan sheep- erm... public will no doubt launch Dubya back into office. Syria, anyone? No? I guess North Korea will have to do...

And no weapons of mass destruction... tsk tsk. Another big surprise. Mark my words: If Dubya actually manages to pull off his little "WoMD Crusade" without it being blatantly obvious that it was staged, I WILL OPENLY PRAISE THE MAN.

I've got nothing to worry about, naturally.

PA seems to follow random things blindly, regardless of the large contradictoryness that dances with them. He seems very naive.

To be honest, i don't really appreciate being lied to or that Bush has contributed in getting Blair kicked off the Prime Minister thingy, but they have taken out an enemy that could easily gather enough shtuffs to attack with WoMD.

Vietnam was silly, i'm glad we didn't join in that one...

EXACTLY. The only reason George W. Bush wanted to be president, and the only reason he's doing all this crap, is so that he can be in the history books. So that he'll be remembered for something. Not even to help people out or anything. He started the whole Bin Laden search immediately, and when that was failing, he tried to cover it up so that people would forget it by starting up the Saddam/Weapons Of Mass Destruction search. When he realized that the WoMD search was going quite crappily as well, he tried to cover that up by starting up a space mission so that he'll be remembered for the president who's going to take us farther than the moon. Meanwhile, we have the biggest nationwide debt in history, and he's only making it worse by starting up these little projects.

Well lucky you.

Everything that has been said in this thread, is everything I've always said. There's no need to reiterate, except I will say two things just to make my opinions more know

1) Suddam never had WoMD
2) Gore should be in power

You utter fag! What the **** do you mean "UP YOURS IRAQ!"??? You weren't going to war against IRAQ dumbass you were going to war against SADDAM.

And YOU won't be doing anything with Saddam Hussien either. In fact America and Britain won't have jack shit to do with Saddam Hussien, because he is going to be handed back to Iraq for punishment.

Niether Saddam Hussien, nor his two sons, or anyone else in his so called "Bath Party" had any chance of getting nukes or chemical bombs. They didn't have the technology to build them or the materials. And also, none of the other countries trusted them enough to sell them such weapons - not even Korea.

It was none of England and USA's business essentially, but since nobody else was ever going to do anything about it, Bush and Blair had to go in. Their mistake was, not getting UN approval. No doubt if they had skipped the nuke bullshit and talked about what was really going on in Iraq they would've pulled a deal. But they didn't, and now all the "alternative" types have started up websites and protests.

Now that Saddam is gone, the rest of the Eastern world can see that the US and UK are actually trying to help - problems with trust in the middle east is what primarily forms anti-westernworld terrorist organisations. And that is the REAL terrorist threat. If the US and UK can look like more of a hero to these would-be terrorists, then the chances of more terrorists attacking the US and UK are considerably reduced.

But even so, there are still problems with debt in Iraq. It's estimated that each person in Iraq averages around £10,000 in debt, and that's all because of countries like the UK and US were selling weapons to Iraq. The solution to this problem is to simply drop the debt charges, but the arms dealers want their money back. One of the ways in which it is believed that these arms dealers are going to try to get their money back, is by selling Iraqi oil. Which is where the Oil comes into play. But the other way in which they are getting their money back is by trading the debt - a far more sinister means of making money, all at the expense of innocent Iraqi's.

In truth, Iraq doesn't deserve to suffer debt and oppression because of one evil person. And these arms dealers don't deserve the money they're owed.

And THAT is the real truth. Bush and Blair need the support of countries like Iraq. This victory is an investment into the worlds future, and will hopefuly bring about peace between the east and the west. Forget everything you've heard about Bush and Blair doing this for the votes, it's just not true, especially considering how many british and US civillians were against the war right at the start.

Saddam should sue Bush. My dad and I came up with this remarkable plan this morning. He should sue him for several reasons, all of which have been mentioned above, but I'll just make a further iteration of the most important.

1) American and British troops had no right to enter Iraq, not politically and not morally.
2) Bush and Blair made unfounded accusations again him, re weapons of mass destruction.
3) Someone high up is dictating that Saddam should be tried fairly. The only way they have of doing this is to have Saddam tried in an Iraqi court. This is stupid for two reasons:

a) It wouldn't be a fair trial, because the Iraqi populace hold too much hatred towards the man.
b) Saddam has broken no political laws. He killed his own people, but didn't kill anyone else's people. He killed his own people, but because he controlled the laws, it was by all definitions legal. Morally unacceptable, maybe, but in the court this doesn't count. He also threatened other countries, but on a country-scale, this is not illegal. If it was America would have to squeeze itself into prison for several consecutive life sentences.

What's more, it would be beautifully ironic that a man that harbours such negative feelings towards the West can use their own faults against them. I say Saddam should do it, and I mean that. Teach the government two lessons at once - they suck, and they're not paying enough attention to this pathetic suing wave.

I agree, Max.

Let's put Bush on trial for war crimes. Maybe we can even have him executed.

The Americans deserve to be liberated.
