Ding Dong, The Witch is Dead Captured!

The 4th Mech (NOT the AIR FORCE!) Captures Saddam!

And the saddest part of this all, aside from the cost to the Iraqi people, is that the first thought of the Dwarfs was: "Oh shit, how the hell can we spin this?"

Before we know it - Al Gore will have done this, using a plan put forth by Weasel Clark, using Dean as a diversion, with Kucinich's campaign manager undercover in Tikrit under the guise of negotiating our surrender.

Or at least that whatever they would have done, it would have been done quicker'n this.

Or, perhaps, that President Bush "stole" Saddam from them. If he hadn't been President they would have gotten Saddam. Yeah, that's it.

Oh f*ck the Democrats - WAY TO GO ALL Y'ALL OVER THERE!

No slam at the efforts and sacrifices of the Air Force intended - just a whack at the Air Power Theorists who didn't completely understand the concept of Center of Gravity. It took us ALL to do this.

Now I wonder when the Barking Moonbats at the Democratic Underground will come out? Oh, they have. Here, too. And, I'm sure, all we captured was a 'look-alike".


This being a time of joy and celebration, we Dance at Castle Argghhh!

WHOO HOOO!! Best news I've heard all year!
 
This is great news! Although after his sons were killed there was an increase in attacks on our troops and I fear that will be repeated, we still needed to capture or make sure that Sadaam Hussein was killed and indisputably identified. Yes, it took the air force to clear the skies and attack both tactical and strategic targets and the Navy to keep the seas clear (and to provide more air cover and missile attacks), but it always takes men on the ground to do the dirty work required to finish the battle. There's a reason they call it "mopping up". Air power and sea power are both vital to winning the battles, but those who claim it can be done with air power alone are just showing they have no understanding of the real world.
 
OLIVER WILLIS is already at it... "MORE: Fox News, of course, is working themselves into a lather. I just want to say - man, Bill Clinton's army ain't too shabby, eh?" Yuck.
