Looks like they may have finally caught the bastard. Reports are unconfirmed at the moment though.

Not betting on it. For one thing, because the Army hasn't confirmed it, and that's downright bizarre. Actually catching Saddam would be about the closest thing to justifying the war to the public they can still reasonably get, seeing as they successfully proved that there weren't WMDs and made a total botch of the "peacemaking" bit.
Webpage. Yes.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

According to British news, there will be an announcement at noon by Coalition forces on this matter. Makes you think they've got something dramatic to say.... ;)

And the tension mounts...

The really funny part is that on ITV (third channel in brit TV) just started a new story stating Saddam had been captured by US forces, when it suddenly lost sound and then changed to a program about the apostles. :wtf:

Blair was the first one to give Bush that whole bit about the documents proving Saddam was buying yellowcake uranium from Niger, which was basically the entirety of the "proof" Bush had that Iraq had MDWs. Same documents were found almost immediately to have been rather incompetent forgeries by MI-6, having names of people who weren't around at the time of the supposed transaction and so on.

It's customary in Muslim areas to celebrate in that manner; I know a lady who got a bullet through her arm while standing on her balcony in Jerusalem, shot from an Arab wedding nearby. :-/

It's kinda an Arab thing. You always see 'em doing it whenever something good is supposed to be happening. One of the many traits they share with hillbillies.

Well, if we're using lethal methods of celebration, anyone care if I start throwing my Xbox around?

I just wish I had a seismometer for measurement.
