Apparently he was directing attacks on our troops and we can now hope that witht he arrest of many of his top leaders the attacks will decrease.

1. Unfortunately

he was NOT DIRECTING the attacks this comes from one of the Generals, Odierno

And unfortunately the Ba'ath party is not the only one involved in the attacks

You will see this morph into something similar to what the Brits faced after the great revolt of 1920 as the Nationalist and the Wahabis take hold

2. I read he was setting up a spam server.

Our troops will be able to rest easy now knowing that that George W. Bush has denied them mail order viagra offers.

Honest!

3. nice propaganda...we shall see

For our troops sake, I hope it is true.

4. I hope the attacks do stop...bring home the troops...save some lives

5. That is good news

Anything that decreases the attacks is a positive development.

6. From CNN

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/12/16/sprj.irq.main/index.html

"Dempsey said that while Saddam apparently was not directing the attacks on coalition forces, some insurgents did report to him "on the chance that some day he might be able to once again be their patron."...

However, a senior official in Washington said the arrests were "not high-level people but cell members further down," adding that some information has been "actionable" intelligence that may save the lives of U.S. soldiers.

7. the sun is a tabloid paper

i think saddam and osama are gay lovers too, and martians are directing the insurgency. ;-)

and sorry if that was too harsh, i just try not to trust the tabloids too often. maybe i'm wrong this time though. :)

8. Britian's "The Sun" is little more than a daily "The Enquirer"

Most of its readers buy it more for sports and the ever popular Page 3 Girl. Today's a saucy Manchester lass!

i love my page 3 girls

9. Murdoch owns The Sun, exclusive interview to bush, remember?

Does anyone remember that bush gave an exclusive interview with The Sun when he visited England? Yes, the very same one with the naked lady on Page 3.

Murdoch is a RW shill with more money than, well, God. The Sun is a RW echo chamber.

10. YES

HE WAS DIRECTING ATTACKS FROM A HOLE IN THE GROUND WITH NO ELECTRONICS. YES INDEED.

[Pontus]

12. And the videos since the US coalition invasion...

He had access to video production, so he had access to more than worms in his little hole!

[oasis]

14. So did he have a beard in the video?

[LittleDannySlowhorse]

13. His psychic powers are formidable

He could also bend spoons with his mind.
