Saddam Captured - Do You Feel Safer?
As we all know Saddam was SUCH a direct "threat" to you and me and the babies (think of the CHILDREN people!) :eyes:

somehow i don't really feel safer today.

I would feel MUCH safer if we could somehow find the mastermind behind WMD's in Iraq. you know, the TYRANT who KNOWS where the WMD's are and what happened to them! we HAVE to find that "mastermind"

Until RUMMY is found (hiding in his dirt hole) i will NOT feel safer!

7. Yeah, amazing how the US wasn't mentioned in the timeline showing
Hussein's rise to power; completely absent. Revisionist/ommision history right before our eyes.

16. Actually Rummy must sleep in dirt from his birthplace....
He is also unable to see his vision in the mirror...

No insult intended toward Vlad Dracul!

6. Oh, I feel much safer knowing that Saddam Hussein has been
captured. Didn't he have something to do with 9/11? Uh, no.

He was still torturing people when we were "friends." Oh, the irony!

BTW, Saddam, could you tell us exactly where the WMD are? Inquiring minds want to know.

8. My fuzzy red slippers make me feel just as safe.
because they had about as much to do with coordinating attacks, 9/11, and WMD that don't exist as Saddam did.

How's THAT?

9. as someone wisely said in LBN
Edited on Sun Dec-14-03 10:11 AM by ZombyWoof
Things were supposed to get better after his sons were captured. Didn't pan out that way. Americans do not understand the ME,or Iraq.

I think whether we feel safer or not, the end of a tyrant's reign is good for all in the long run.

And where the hell is Osama, the one tied to 9-11?? :shrug: I think his capture would be much more pressing for us.

11. IMO,
This is only going to rally the troops to avenge his capture. There will probably be another bomb blast in Baghdad in the next few days as a little warning to the U.S. that the Saddam capture means nothing. The Iraqi's who want their country back will put the U.S. on notice with an explosion. JMCPO

Where's Osama? :eyes:

12. I don't personally feel safer, but
I imagine that some of our troops in Iraq do. I have heard that many Iraqis were afraid to cooperate with the US because they were afraid Sadaam was coming back. With him captured I hope that the Iraqi people will now take their country back and tell us to go home.In doing that, hopefully our men and women will be able to come home.

From the pictures this morning, Sadaam looks like a shadow of his former self. I could not possibly have conducted the opposition to the US coalition forces and his own people from an 8 foot hole in the ground or if he has been constantly on the run. Be that as it may, he seems to have had an enormous psychological influence on the people of Iraq. Now that he is gone there is a great argument, I think, that we should get out very soon and let these people have their country back. Let's see what candidate makes that point today.

18. What I'm afraid of...
is that instead of turning Iraq over to Iraqis and bringing our troops home, Bush will instead let this puff himself up even more, and let his massive ego direct him to send them to Iran or Syria.

He is drunk on power and bloodletting, and I don't know that anything will keep him from involving us in one war after another.

13. Thanks Matcom! No, I don't feel safer. Haven't felt safe since
the "Selection." Agree, what we have here is more frightening than Saddam to America.

And, the evidence is out there this week that their was NO connection between Saddam and Osama with the report that the Iraqi Spy did NOT meet with Mohammed Atta.

Iraq could have been handled differently. We've killed the Sons of the Dictator and now have captured him. What's next? Iraq and Syria.

Nothing has changed and dancing in the streets of Capture of Saddam here in America doesn't change what the Bush/PNAC/RW/Rove crowd is doing to our country and our own people

14. I doubt our troops feel any safer...
It doesn't sound like he had any effective means of communicating to insugents, so I wonder what role (if any) he played in the insurgency.

15. Hell No!
I won't feel safe until that gang of thugs, those terrorists that are running this nation and the world into the ground are captured, tried and executed period.

17. I won't feel safer until
The human-based world stops running itself as an entity which encourages terrorism.

Yes, violence is wrong. What about those who incite the violence? Surely they're responsible as well?! America is no angellic entity either, that's a fact.

19. Not any safer since Dec 13, 2000. No skin off my nose, Saddam.
Edited on Sun Dec-14-03 11:20 AM by robbedvoter
Didn't make one bit of difference in my life, Except maybe - people will realize now that my man, Wesley Clark is the guy to 'splain it to W.
So, I guess it's a good thing this way.
