Yay! It sounds funny, (but it wouldn't be funny if it was be), to hear that he was hiding in a 6-8 ft. deep hole. And just picture him with a 4 month beard. -------------------- I want my Desert Plah back, (Drakey, check your PM's.) "Oh, North Wind, why frighten others? In Nature's family all are brothers.

Until this is confirmed by several respected international media sources, I refuse to believe it. Of course, it may have already received such confirmation. If so, this is a most unfortunate day for myself and my countrymen. Our fate has been sealed. We are doomed to undergo four more inexpressively painful years under a trained monkey.

I heard it on BBC and read it on the newspaper this morning. I guess it'll boost morale, but let's hope it doesn't boost Dubya's votes... -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware!

I'm not so sure you Americans are definitely consigned to another four years of moronic rule. If this had happened next November, then that would definitely be the case. However, Saddam's capture is unlikely to deter the resistance in Iraq (far more likely to infuriate them, as it did with Saddam's sons killing), which, while bad for global stability and world peace, is good for getting George Bush out of the White House. -------------------- KazeArctica: "Imagine...wangs everywhere...and tentacles.

Apparently it's been on the news all day. We were arguing today about whether it was more or less "important" here than Diana's death in 1997, which interrupted normal TV schedules for about a week. -------------------- ~ørangutan I want high-bit characters in my displayed name!!! :( :( :( (Or at least an exclamtion point!)

It's more important, certainly, but it won't clog the schedules so much. I don't see this as having long-term impact. Most resistance groups appear to be either religiously-motivated, nationalist, or just pissed off with Americans generally. Not even Saddam's closest supporters really liked him. He was just too much of a psychopath to cross. My main interest will be what happens to him with respect to a trial. -------------------- Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned I'll tell you my story, man Though I wish I'd never been born I'm loose at the seams, I've broken my dreams And my hand it shakes the pen Come on, come on now baby, Let the good times roll again Posts: 961 | Registered: Thursday, June 12 2003 07:00 |

Saddam was caught?!? When exactly did that happen? I probably need to go read the newspaper right about now. -------------------- 73|-| 1|\|\/1|\|<1|3|_3 |30063y|\/|4|\| AHEM: Chance Forums! -Reality Corp. Posts: 1307 | Registered: Tuesday, May 7 2002 07:00 |

Trial? That's an illusion if you ask me. See how long it takes him to commit 'suicide' in custody, or they get careless and some infuriated civilians assassinate him. They'll be arguing about what to do with him of course, but I think he'll be killed by the time they've reached any decision. Only speculations of course. -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S. T.

If they have him now, they will systematically squeeze him for information for a little while. Then feed him some drugs which will make him forget where he was for the last couple days. I doubt he would have any chance of killing himself right now let alone being too aware of where he is. He is probably pumped full of sodium pentathol and happy pills. Nobody is available to observe what is happening to him. -------------------- The Universe Never Did Make Sense; I Suspect It Was Built On A Government Contract- Robert Heinlein Posts: 1084 | Registered: Thursday, November 7 2002 08:00 |

BT probably has the right of it. On CNN, I saw a video clip of him getting a med exam. He wasn't really doing much. They probably drugged him. They said he was "talkative and cooperative." I'm sorry, but that just doesn't sound like the guy who mass-murdered the Kurds. They say he has all the scars of Saddam and some new ones that could've come from the bombings. So maybe he is Saddam. But I don't think he's completely concious. Either that, or he's playing it safe and hoping that his friends in Iraq will bust him out after the US has turned him over to the Iraqi war crimes court. -------------------- Chance Forums.

I heard about it thi morning in church. I was like... "Really?" and then I was like "That's hilarious!" I can't have any pity on him. As a friend of mine said once: "They need to dress him in patriotic underwear with a slit in the back, put him in a cage, and unleash 10 gay men on him." That always struck me as somehow fitting, although I wouldn't want to see it happen personally. -------------------- "Never think twice about something if the first time you thought about it you thought you were thinking about it twice when really it was just once, and never think about something once unless there's money involved." --The Mad Hatter's Deceaced Wife Posts: 59 | Registered: Wednesday, June 26 2002 07:00 |

Well, if Saddam truely is captured, that has a great effect on my life(primarily cause I bet money on us not capturing him) Oh well. But since we actually captured Saddam, but not Osama, that means Saddam actually wasn't a puppet of the US goverment(this time around). That's a bit of a suprise, but not too much of one.

Well everyone is sex-driven, but gay men aren't to the extent of which you people make us seem like. You make us sound like we have nothing better to do than to F--- all day. Just because a man has a slit in his pants (or whatever) doesn't mean we want to rape him. I'm not sure about every gay man, but the large majority of gay men are just normal people. -------------------- "It's cool to be a robot." Scud "Half human, half robot, all Sicilian."
