It's gonna be fun watching Fox News this week. I turned them on for no more than 2 minutes after I woke up and the first thing I hear is "it will remain to be seen exactly what Saddam tells us. Maybe we'll find out about the true France and Russia", or something to that regard. Ugh...

"We distort, you subside"




agreed hundred percent. i wonder where all the FOX NEWS experts are now with thier "i bet he is in france or russia".

i would hope he gets charged for all those things...but i also wonder if any of the "western" powers will be held accountable for providing the means to his actions when he was in his full "evil" mode.

Their expert analysis:

"Noone can find Saddam and since France and Russia didn't want to invade, they must be harboring him."

How people could watch anything from that 'Fox channel' and consider it news is beyond me.

Saddam 'To Face War Crimes Trial'

By Jon Smith, Political Editor, PA News

Saddam Hussein faces trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity, following his capture today.

The Iraqi Governing Council will want to put the humiliated tyrant on trial in the country he terrorised for so long.

He would join fellow leaders of his once-feared Baathist regime in the dock for the murder and torture of his fellow Iraqis.

Lt General Ricardo Sanchez, commander of the US forces in Iraq, today said it had yet to be determined whether, or when, Saddam would be handed over to the Iraqi authorities.

But there is bound to be an almost irresistible clamour from Iraq’s new leadership that they should be seen to be meting out justice in their own land.

The only other realistic alternative would be a specially constituted international tribunal, such as those set up by the United Nations to probe war crime allegations in the former Yugoslavia, and Rwanda.

Professor Anthony Aust, a former legal adviser to the Foreign Office who teaches UN law at the London School of Economics, said today: “I could envisage charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, such as torture.

“It has been suggested by many people that he should be put on trial for genocide, because of his treatment of the Kurds.

“But genocide, for technical reasons, is very hard to prove.

“It was defined in 1948 by the Geneva Convention and the definition is short and not particularly well-worded.

“It is not easy to prove the intention to wipe out a whole group of people.

“Aggression is also one which would be very difficult to prove for technical reasons.

“The Security Council did not categorise the invasion of Kuwait as aggression. They said it was a breach of international peace and security and they condemned it, but they did not say it was aggression.

“One can throw the book at him without going into the difficult areas of genocide and aggression.

“He could be charged with war crimes, torture, indiscriminate use of force, attacking civilians, taking hostages, mistreatment of prisoners of war.”

Prof Aust said the newly-constituted International Criminal Court – not recognised by the US – only has jurisdiction for crimes committed after it was established in July 2002.

He added: “While there may have been crimes committed after that date by Saddam Hussein, most would have taken place in the previous 30 years.”

Sure, that's why the US finaly did something... man shut up! they acted solely out of own interrest. If this was all about justice, something would have happen years ago. The whole motivation for this war was US's safety, nothing else... But Bush will probably be the big savior now.

I saw an interesting program the other night. Basically, the freed Iraqi people will have their assets carved up to pay for the debts Sadam racked up - essentially, they'll have to pay for the very man and very tools he used to oppress them.

EDIT - that includes a lot of arms dealers (wonder who sold him the arms?). You can also buy Iraqi debt - there were these bankers who'd bought Iraqi debt at 5 cents in the dollar and now its worth 28 cents in the dollar.... it was 'interesting' stuff.

Although your passivness regarding Saddam's capture is disheartening, I can see where you are going. But don't say what you just said to the people here. If the events leading up to the Iraqi invasion and the invasion itself showed anything, it's that people are extremely ignorant, and will believe almost anything Bush tells them.

I'm a fundie right winger (just making sure there are no questions about that) and I think this goes way beyond Saddam now. It's about what he knows: bin laden, al qaeda, WMD, locations of other officials, etc.. It has nothing to do with making him pay.

No need to make a legend out of this guy.



And what if he knows nothing? What if there are no WMDs? What if there is no connection to Al-Qaeda? You believe these issues might make a 180 spin because he is captured?

U.S. Commander: Tip Led to Saddam Capture
25 minutes ago

By ALEKSANDAR VASOVIC, Associated Press Writer

TIKRIT, Iraq - Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) was captured based on information from a member of a family "close to him," Maj. Gen. Raymond Odierno said Sunday.


Odierno, the commander of the 4th Infantry Division that captured Saddam, said over the last 10 days soldiers have questioned "five to 10 members" of families "close to Saddam."


"Finally we got the ultimate information from one of these individuals," he said.

But I DON'T CARE about that as much as finding out what networks still exist that are capable and willing to attack enormous targets in America on our own soil.

If that freak of nature knows anything about what happened at 9-11 or what kind of terrorist network exists today that threatens our lives right now then I want to know.

Screw debating. We have this jerk now. We need his information.. not to prosecute and punish him for past crimes.

1) The threat now, the threat to us.

2) Past ills.

He'll get his soon enough.. and not by us.. the UN can have him and burn his rear end for killing his own people, but I'm concerned about something more relevant to us NOW.

Um, most of the American population were FOR the invasion, and still are. Most of them thought Saddam had WMDs, even nukes, and most of them thought Iraq was directly involved in 9/11. Of course there were protests against the war in the U.S, there always is, anywhere, against any government.

So now you see, what I mean by "they will believe anything Bush will tell them" and "most are ignorant"?

Anyway, to get back to the current situation, there is live footage from Baghdad with a column of smoke and reports of explosions.

Not that I've seen the most recent poll, but aren't most of the population in the U.S still think they should have invaded? I'm asking. My original post was refering anyway to the pre-war and war state of mind. The posters at GAF, which I was originally refering to (didn't I say that already?), who were for the invasion were justifying it because of WMDs. They then played the 9/11 card, followed by the humanitarian intervention card. That's what I meant by saying they are ignorant. And most people even in the world ARE uninformed about many political happenings, and I don't think you'll argue that.

Uh actually I already did when I mentioned your neglect in continuing to follow the polls, etc. gross characterization of people as blind is a mistake. At first the US gov't DID seem to present it's people with what seemed to be very solid proof that there was a reason to attack.

In hindsight we see that there were alot of holes in that information presented, but upfront it's pretty hard to say that SOME of data shown didn't look plausible.

EDIT: ignorant = uninformed? Oh you've got clarify that one.

Ok, do me a favor, and let me understand what constitutes an "informed" person, and as you put an "uninformed" or "igornant" person? I am curious to know, what makes you an informed person? What news sites are you crediting as to informing you with the most accurate news? Please enlighten us all.

It took them enough money and enough time to find this token/prize.

The sad thing is that, people will look to this small success (after all what is the capture of a withered beheaded head to a flailing body?) as justification of the idea that might is right - that we need more short sighted people like Bush making critical decisions and spouting rhetorhic in the most important job in the world.

Hell... if there's something I can guess about the government, it's that they'll try to play this capture for as long as they can and deflect the fact they haven't caught their original and main target - one that is still active and has power to wield.

I can't believe I have to explain the equalities between the two terms. That is what you were asking, right?

And its funny that even in his capture, Saddam was reportedly very defiant about his actions of the past. I feel that his trial will be similar to that of Milosevic, who has for the past year basically said F-U to the courts.

Iceman, you do know that the US itself came forward and said there was no evidence that Saddam had anything to do with 9/11 right? Please give that argument up already. I truly believe there were no WMD when we went in there, and probably hasn't been for a few years now. Also for such a stout christian, you sure quick to judge and talk about ultimate punishments. And not to sound rude or anything , you come off as sort of paranoid.

At first the US gov't DID seem to present it's people with what seemed to be very solid proof that there was a reason to attack.

In hindsight we see that there were alot of holes in that information presented, but upfront it's pretty hard to say that SOME of data shown didn't look plausible.


hard to say now as its been confirmed that alot of the evidence used was not true. Even then the evidence shown was in fact very weak...so weak that some of the biggest countries and allies we have didn't go for it.

I'm glad he is finally caught and happy for the Iraqi people, but hearing people shouting death to Saddam is not good for anything. If anything it would be better to keep him alive.

and I'd also like to say that I'm already starting to get sick over the all of a sudden bush praise from people..so we ended up capturing saddam. It was bound to happen at some point, I give bush zero credit here.

I sincerely hope people aren't so one-dimensional come nov 04, and look at all the facts and problems when determining who are next president is. Saying the economy is picking up now is jumping the gun..after all it is the holiday season..its always a peroid of good economic times. I see no job growth really however..shit I'm still jobless with two college degrees, and its not looking too bright anytime soon for me anyways.

Thank you, now how about addressing the rest of my post?

btrboyev do you think that every country that didn't participate did so because of lack of evidence? I think that's a pie in the sky view of politics.... and unless we see some better candidates things don't seem to be heading towards stopping Bush from getting re-elected.

I love it. You cant answer me. You are just as much a joke as all the other nuts like you. Why cant you answer a simple little question as to what makes you an informed person? Seriously, if you can go around this forum and post how much you know about world events, and how little the rest of us know, then please go ahead and let us know how we can all become as informed as you are? Also, dont go and reply to this post about how you wont answer me, because you think you are better than me. Just answer this post, and say " I am informed because..." and then give me a valid answer.

Simply, through the use of logic and memory.

Under the assumption that you haven't changed drastically in the last few months, your history of posts suggests someone that dishes out alot of abuse and little substance to your arguments while in return taking offense to abuse readily while letting the logical arguments slide off.
This allows me to make the inference that you are opinionated, but uninformed - as you are unable or unwilling to properly counter logical arguments against your own position with similar logical arguments.

I mean, I may be off, and this is certainly no formal statement of logic, but this world typically works off a system off experience - and in my experience, you are an uninformed stooge.

Feel free to take offense or prove otherwise.

Ok, so I am a stooge, because I am a supporter of Bush? I am a stooge, because I support the war. I am stooge because I think bush is doing a great job? Ok, so then I guess I am a stooge.

I mean I guess I will never be the informed, educated, un-ignorant person that you are, or ghostface is, or the other people that have to try and force the pro-war supporters into taking their side.

Either way, Saddam is captured, which I seem to remember a bunch of you saying would never happen.

This certainly causes some issues for the democratic position since last week they heavily endorsed Dean who is a huge opponent of the war and critic of our success. Now that Saddam is captured it will be interesting to see if that position wavers any.

Tell me... how much stronger would the economy have been given alternative economic strategies? Tell me how long do you think this state of positivity will last? What about the long term implications of the economy?

What about the war - what has it achieved? What about the costs associated with the war? The long term benefits of the war? The long term costs associated with the costs of war? The affect on the social landscape?

And as for support for war - do you mean supporters... that are republicans? Or supporters that use Fox News (and similar pro war stations) as their primary (and in many cases only) source of news. What about supporters for the war the world over? These wars have geopolitical reprecussions that aren't solely limited to their immediate affect on america and Iraq. They set the mood of the superpower against the world and they raise dissent in similarly extreme and uninformed people - you can't avoid these people - but you shouldn't further polarize them.

And as for Saddam - what do you think the true affect of his capture will be?
Remember, they predicted that Saddam supporters would weaken after the deaths of his sons... Do you think that these people would stop? Do you think they're actually 'saddam' supporters or 'American haters?'

However... there's little doubt that the capture will have a positive affect on the war in Iraq, but if it doesn't, what then? What if the situation in Iraq again intensifies? What will you say then?

Okaaaaaay. I'm glad I adressed the issue of the two terms for you.

Uh actually I already did when I mentioned your neglect in continuing to follow the polls, etc. gross characterization of people as blind is a mistake. At first the US gov't DID seem to present it's people with what seemed to be very solid proof that there was a reason to attack.
The proof was anything but solid. First, the 9/11 link. There isn't, and never was, ANY proof, or anything remotely considered as proof, that Saddam had anything to do with the with attack. Now you tell me how the American public got the impression that there was.

Moving on to WMDs, the "evidence" on this was spotty at best. Inspections were going on, and while they weren't close to being finished, Hans Blix, who by his position should have been the person consulted in the matter, kept saying that it was unlikely there would be anything found. And wasn't that forged Nigerian signature ordeal revealed during the war, or even slightly before it? At that point, population support for the invasion was immense in the U.S. As a matter of fact, a poll showed at the moment that an suprisingly large number of people believed Iraq had nuclear weapons, even though the U.S had never officially made that claim.

Then there was all of the France and Russia bashing regarding their alleged support for Saddam. Most of America was ready to wage war on France (obviously an exaggeration) because France had opposed the war vigorously and had also sold weapons to Iraq in the past. But yet they ignored, or were led to ignore that it was mainly the U.S that had armed Saddam in the first place. Fox News 4 lyfe!

Oh, and lets not for get the post-war poll that showed that a great number of people believed that actual WMDs had been found.

There are a couple more things I could mention, but i should really get studying.

I'm sorry, but I don't think I was making gross characterization about people being generally uninformed, judging by the facts that I presented above.

And my original post that started this whole thread derailment was mainly in reference to the GAF posters who supported the war and were unwilling to change their minds even in the light of overwhelming proof of lies. Though I was not entirely clear on that

I think if anything one of the benefits of his capture is that one way or the other we'll get answers in regards to when the WMD's went away(how many years ago), and other questions in regards to if Iraq's sphere of influence really did extend that far... IMO the 2nd question being more interesting to me than the first.


EDIT: Ghost hadn't it been shown before that the war that there were some foreigns will some VERY strong corporate ties in Iraq? I never bought in to the 9/11 ties. I did however feel that sufficient evidence was being shown that WMD's were being moved around, etc.

I always get the impression that those who were heavily against the war always try to paint this picture of a fully cooperating Iraq. I've never seen that, cooperation? Yes. Full? I never got that impression.

For the record I think I'll finally weigh in with my own personal statement. I supported the war... with reservation. I never agreed with ALL of the US "facts" being presented, NOR did I ever believe that the US was only invading for human rights reasons... I also felt that the US wasn't JUST(as in not the only reason) there for oil... which seems to be the major reason anti-war folks use HOWEVER I also felt that regardless of the reasons being presented that it was something that in the long run would benefit the Iraqis and that was why I supported it. The mass graves thing... in this day and age? Disgusting.

ahh yes the epitome of ur stupiditty. i dont want to turn this into another iraq war thread but since it has already let me throw my hat in.


please remind me who said sadam wouldnt be captured? i remember myself i said a million times how iraq is a easy target and that we knew we could get sadam so to hold of the people begging for bin laden. and we have done that, cept it took longer than expected. now people are going to act like we did some great amazing things....well guess what...iraq was in such horrible state that a lot of the other world powers could have done the same. wow we got sadam...which is great for the iraqi people...but that was never our concern in the first place.


and wow the war has more supporters than opponenets....yeah ok that makes ur argument stronger. where did u get this figure from btw? last i remember a lot more people worldwide were against the war then for it...and unless they all were thinking "the only reason im againt this war is cause i dont think they will get sadam...but if they ill change my mind" then im pretty sure the war is still pretty unpopular in the US and in the world over all.

i remember the war thread...i remember how every supporter of the war told everyone who even questioened it "ooo u just hate america....watch we will go in there win (as if there was a doubt about that)...and find them WMDs".

we have found nothing cept kill sadam and his sons and so now we celebrate...wow big feat bush...u are amazing. thanks for saving us from the weapons that sadam doesnt even have.


and im going to love how everyone will all of a sudden start caring for the people of iraq. anytime a question will be brought up about the WMD or anything i know what to expect "liberal media blah blah and we saved the iraq people".

It shouldn't, but they will probably cave in somewhat. The end doesn't justify the means -- there were lies galore in the run-up to war, and the damage done to our international stature is still a major concern. I also think it's FAR from an obvious conclusion that the capture of Hussein will make things any safer for our troops.

Also -- does anyone else think that Bush actually had Saddam for weeks and he was saving him for when he needed a really good distractions...such as, say, when the Halliburton fraud came out?

(For the irony-impaired -- I was kidding. But the timing is VERY convenient.)

Actually, our foreign policy over the past few decades is precisely the reason of so many "holy wars" aimed in the United States' general direction. Our presence in the Middle East in general is a mixed bag, and a lot of terrorists through our eyes are viewed as freedom fighters through the eyes of people who've lost loved ones to goof ups on our end; who see our military presence in their countries as an affront to their own culture and an attempt to force our own upon them.

A few days ago, we bombed a reported Taliban site in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, there was a lot of collateral damage in the "under 18" category; they were civilians who had nothing to do with the Taliban, they were just there by coincidence. The U.S. military's response was, essentially "Oops. Our bad." Does it happen? Unfortunately yes, but the perception is that moves like that are just a confirmation of our "evil", and somewhere down the line they'll try to seek revenge in the name of religion.

The Bush administration - to possibly over-simplify - is taking nice, big swats at the hornet nest because we got stung by one. So, not only are they creating a massive debt that you, me, our kids, and our kids' kids are going to have to clean up well after he's out of office, but they're also creating plenty of more possible terrorists for them to deal with as well.

Bra-fucking-vo. Yeah, we caught Saddam. Too bad this whole thing started as a phantom threat to the very existence to the United States and morphed into "He's a very bad man." (And yes, for the record, I'm happy he's captured, but I'll break out the champagne when Bush's apparent policy on human rights extends to more egregious offenders than Hussein, who at best could be described as "someone trying really, really, really hard to be Stalin, but failing.")

You generally don't see FOR WAR protests... because that's generally not what the nature of a protest is.... Hell looking back over history even fully supported wars had more anti-war protests than for war support rallys.

Yes, he admitted to taking pain killers but he doesn't sell them to others. Put down the Enquirer...

Uh...so finding possibly over a million bodies from mass graves in Iraq is a failure? Good fucking night.

Hey, I brought it up because one of the talking heads did, he decided to pick it out of everything else I said and jump on it. :P

I don't understand these posts. How the hell does this change ANY of the issues democrats typically bring up? Did ANYONE EVER say Saddam would likely never be captured? Does this capture suddenly justify the war in some way? What is it??

For the record, democrats can bite me, as they seem opportunistic. I follow what I believe, not some fucking political agenda. This capture changes nothing in most aspects. Yes, he deserves to be caught, etc etc. But don't pretend it somehow justifies anything.
