Not Today, Saddam

Saddam’s minions, in their lust for revenge, sabotaged the electronic grid which feeds your humble (hah!) correspondent’s fevered ranting! We have foiled their nefarious plans, however, and enlisted the help of the Crusading LADWP Supermen to save the day. Peace be upon them!

Actually, we had a little brown-out for a couple of hours here in the ‘hood. I made the most of it, getting my school reading done—instead of participating in the Saddam gloating--by the light coming through the living room window.

Now for the continued gloating…

Dec. 14: Iraqis dance in the streets of Baghdad after learning that former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had been captured alive by American forces.

What are those people doing? Don't they know they're supposed to be bombing something, preferably US soldiers?

I guess the official orders haven't made it to the common everyday citizens. Good thing, too.

I don't think that this will make one bit of difference where terrorism is concerned.

Tell me, do you know if he will be tried at the Hague or in his own country, in front of his own people?
Which would be the smartest?

radmila: The rumor mill says that he will be tried by the Iraqis.

Re terrorism: President Bush said as much in his statement this morning. It wouldn't be reasonable to assume otherwise.

Just stopped by to help out with the gloating.
*Gloat* *Gloat* Ok, see ya later ! ;)

Kudos to the troops for capturing Saddham. Vile and disgusting man is where he should be, locked up and a danger to no one.
And a heads up to you baldilocks for featuring the Iraqi communist party's rally. Who knew? (check the "old hammer and sickle" on the flags in the news reports)

Sharon: Noticed the red flags and have no problem with it. Even a stopped watch is right twice a day (unless it's a digital, 24 hour one; then the accuracy is cut in half).

Somedays even the CP makes the right choice.
The way I look at it, the both of us had good news to wake up to on Sunday morning.

The communists in Iraq had it worse than anyone. They may be a problem in the long run, but right now they are thrilled to be liberated and willing to be a minor opposition party in the coming coalition democracy.
