Morford's take on Saddam capture...
No link, it's from his email letter.

"Well gosh golly it only took upwards 400+ dead U.S. soldiers (and counting) and over 10,000 dead innocent Iraqi citizens (and counting) and countless tens of thousands of dead Iraqi soldiers and about 150 billion in your tax moneys (and counting) and the screeching blood sacrifice of both our national pride and our international status and the gutting of our foreign policy, and he was of course no threat to America whatsoever and never had much of a military force to begin with and if he ever had any WMD he destroyed them over a decade ago, and we brutally invaded his unhappy nation and laid waste to it for absolutely no justifiable reason whatsoever, but finally Saddam Hussein has been captured alive, yay yay go team. Shortly after soldiers pulled an aged, bearded Saddam from a makeshift cellar, Defense Secretary Donald "black souled" Rumsfeld was delivering the news of the prized capture to Bush, who stopped coloring in his favorite book and looked up all startled and let out the cutest happy little gurgle. The anticlimatic end to a nine-month search for the dictator instantly changed the politics of Iraq back in America, where huge amounts of insanely gullible citizens instantly upgraded their view of BushCo in the polls, because this is how really quite sad and stupid many have become and this is how useless polls are, that Saddam's capture suddenly means BushCo is some sort of decent leader and that the capture somehow negates, you know, a vile and budget-reaming and oil-sucking and U.N.-violating and utterly demeaning war no one wanted. Yay. Go team. "

That's what Saddam is. Nice to have, absolutely insane to have at the price.

Oh, and guess who's paying?
