Saddam in the bag?

[Cub Driver]

Sunday, Dec. 14, 2003
Saddam Hussein has been captured, TIME magazine confirmed. "It's
true," said a U.S. intelligence official in Baghdad about the arrest
of the former dictator. The official wouldn't give any more details
except to confirm that the former dictator had been detained the night
before. He did say the suspect had been positively identified as
Saddam Hussein. Ambassador Paul Bremer is calling together the Iraqi
Governing Council to tell them this afternoon, he said.

Celebratory gunfire erupted across Baghdad as the news of the fallen
Iraqi president's arrest spread across the town. Iraqis showed their
joy that the brutal leader had been detained by firing bursts of
automatic weapons fire into the air.

Are you sure a C-130 wasn't passing overhead at the time? Excellent news all
the same. As the Chinese have said, we live in interesting times.

Personally, I'm delighted they caught that lowlife *******. It's a shame he has
only two testicles to give for his country.

Reuters in its wire story confirming Saddam's capture said that this
would be a great boost "for the beleaguered occuation forces."

Beleaguered?

How about that for revealing an agenda?

Incidentally, Paul Bremer now confirms the capture, which evidently
took place on Saturday.

From yourdictionary.com:
1. To harass; beset:
2. To surround with troops; besiege.

~
1. Maybe they meant from the media, etc.
2. They got it backwards, as usual. Understand Saddam was "beleaguered" by
over 600 troops.

Would that be some sort of ethnic culinary specialty I've never heard of?
Please tell me.....after all, inquiring minds do want to know! (^-^)))

I think it's one of his doubles, and the real SH is working for
Dick Cheney and his oil company.

Actually the "coalition compound" in Bagdad gets fairly
close to the image of a beleaguered fortress with fortified
walls. (Psychological mistake IMHO, though understandable
from the point of view of security.)

According to all the news services, he's the real McCoy -- DNA tests and
all.

It reminds me of the punchline of the old joke about the Spanish
restaurant famous for its Rocky Mountain oysters: "Sometimes, Senor, the
bull -- HE wins!"
