I guess that increases Bush's chances to get re-elected...
Anyway, it's a good thing that they finally got that jerk. Who knows what he was planning.

Well, it's about time. Thirteen years after U.S. forces should have brought him down, they finally did the deed.
Nothing like being fashionably late. :P
"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him," U.S. administrator L. Paul Bremer said at a news conference in Baghdad. "The tyrant is a prisoner."

He'll probably end up before an international war crimes tribunal ala Nuremburg, get convicted, and be sentenced to death.

Yeah, that's What I think is going to happen. I haven't heard much about it (I was watching CNN a few minutes ago, but I wasn't able to catch the what will happen to him discussion) But as far as I know, He'll be tried for his crimes against the Iraqi people.
But I guess it's a great day for the Iraqi people. No longer having to worry about following Saddam's lead, they have a chance of a great future.

Saddam will be held in trial for War Crimes and Genocide. He wont be tortured, just heavily interogated, also, no one will recive the reward. Latest news....

When one Bush failed, another triumped! I can see it now... I am in disgust. It is a common trait to go to war right around reelection time, and it gross. Regardless of the fact that Sadaam was "caputured", I will not vote for Bush.

They had said that Iraq wanted to hold him in trial, but the US wanted to hold him in their trial, or something. But if he ends up in Iraq on trial, he's liable to scare those people back into voting not guilty or some ****, and getting him back into power and the end result would be the bombing of the US. But that's just a thought.

You got yours Saddam, Desert Strike games have become a reality, now we're going after Bin Laden.
Sadly, this little capture has almost GURANTEED that Bush will win the next election.

Wow....talk about history in the making.
This talk about Bush only doing this to get re-elected disgusts me. You think the troops just said, "Okay, we found him, but we got a YEAR until the re-election. Who wants to play cards?" Hell no! They want to get the job done!
What bush has done will saved thousands of lives that would have died under Saddam's rule. Go and read sometime what this man has done. I'm sure you would just love to be thrown into a vat of acid and left to die. :evil:
Yes, we have undergone many American casualties, but now our armies and such will be able to come HOME. We will not have to worry about another Saddam Hussein war, the threats of bilogical warfare with Iraq is pretty much dead...
If this war Was in fact a thing to get re-elected (which it wasnt), he took one hell of a risk. What if we hadnt caught Anyone? what if Saddam hadnt been pulled from power? What if the US and all these other countries gotten more adamant in their disagreements and started an attack towards us?
Worst case scenario. Bush could have Started World War Three. Bush would NOT want that. No one would. This talk about him Wanting to start a war just because of votes is reviling.
Give our president some credit. He did what his father and the oh so glorious Clinton could not. Sp please, quit bashing our president...
*remember those who died in Desert Storm. The first and second Gulf Wars. This is why we fight. We have done them a great duty. They did not die in Vain*

I didn'z say that the War itself was his election-propaganda. i said that the not-caüturing of the "king-terrorists" was propaganda. i mean tapes of Osama Bin Laden just don't lie around in some random houses, and a defenseless terrorist in a occupied country simply cannot dissappear without any trace.
The war was because of the oil in Iraq and nothing else. and Bush wasn't the one who pulled the strings, there are men behind them who are waay more important than Bush.
I expect George W. to get Osama Bin Laden around May or so.

there were a gazillion reasons but they were all fake.
"Saddam's got bio-weapons" then the UN went in and looked for those weapons, and didn't find anything. Even when the US claimed that they had proof of a mobile Bio weapon-lab (of course, why not making it a spacecraft?)
then
"Saddam's got an A-Bomb" well the UN didn't look for an A-Bomb, they looked for Bio-Weapons. Somebody said those UN-Guys should check the US but everybody laughed at him/them.
then
"Free the Iraqi population" That would be nice, but everyone who believed that was IMO a complete idiot.

Hi read or dont read...just my useless two cents and any or all comments about my parentage, my education or lack thereof, or general snottiness will be ignored because I'm just that kind of person. That being said..ahem.
Has Bush's presidency been stellar? Well...no of course not. We're in the middle of a war on several fronts and teetering on war on several others.
The economy has been in recession for most of his term. And I'm sure any political science majors out there could say several other things that have sucked about the last three years...
HOWEVER...
I am not some lalala..let peace prevail...ignore the bad guys and they ignore you..no fighting at all costs pacifist. I'm a martial artist. That kind of attitude does not fit my MO. SO...was war justified? Well..if the atrocities of the Bathe part regime are true than yeh. I mean how many people NOW say the world was wrong for letting Hitler try his version of genocide? I personally dont care about Bush's motives. I seriously doubt they were as altruistic as he claims. But Saddam isnt there anymore. The regime is gone. Victory.
As for the economy...I'm enough of a business person to know that the last three years COULD have been the result of the previous four. Recession usually takes time to build. DOesnt happen...BAM all at once. And well...9/11 didnt help either. Anyone thinking that what happened would not seriously affect our enconoy is living in fantasy world. Either that...or they're looking for someone to blame. The president is an easy target.
Thats it..off to RP now..

Even though the motivations for the war certainly weren't helping Iraqi people, US army did end Saddam's tyranny. It's a good thing they captured Saddam, as long as he is convicted in an International court unlike the Al Qaeda people in Guantanamo.
Despite of what people think on Bush, blaming the war on him isn't right. There are lot's of powerfull people who have wanted to do that for a while now, it was just a matter of time.

Really a big story about nothing though. It's a nice short term grab, but may actually cause more problems in the long run. Esp. since him being alive will create many, many legal issues and our handling of it could bring even more problems with the world if we don't treat him well.
Doesn't really help the bigger issues, so I'm hoping we get over it and move on to the real issues. Must have been awesome for those Iraqis that found him though. Certainly a bit of a morale booster for the troops since this war hasn't been great for showing off our supposedly wonderful military. We finally, as a whole, showed that we are mildly competent at something...so it is a bit of a tongue-in-cheek pat on the back. LOL
Unfortunately it looks like Bush may have stole the next election also. :(

Back on topic: I don't understand you Bush-haters. You say he "started" the war to finish what his dad started? How can you even possibly think that he's that stupid. I am a full Bush supporter, but if I wasn't, I wouldn't blame his "war-starting" on finishing his dads job. That's so lame.... No one is that stupid. Especially someone who made it to presidential office. No one could make it to the White House without at least SOME brains.....And he has a lot more than a lot of people too.
About Saddam....Just kill the dang fool.
I know you liberals are always ranting about "human rights" and such.....but where do you draw the line? He didn't give the THOUSANDS of people he killed basic human rights.
My personal opinion is, whoever found him, should have "accidentally" killed him. Ya know, dropped a grenade into his little spider hole or something. Now we have to waste our money keeping him alive and taking him to court for his war crimes when we probably could have done away with him anyways. I don't think we should torture Saddam, but he DEFINITELY deserves to die.

Saddam Hussein is captured - that is good news. I mean, after all, he was a dictator and so he probably doesn't deserve to govern all those people, especially after killing so many of them. Fair enough....
But now, how about we focus on the actual Iraqi people instead of the American government's vanity. Are they better off? Marginally. Despite what the CNN tells you, they're not all happy and overjoyed. The media greatly skews what's really happening - it's called spin doctoring. In reality these same "liberating" troops are now busy arresting, killing and interrgating a whole lot of native civilians, all based on suspicions of "being a nationalist rebel". Hardly sounds like hero stuff, does it? Despair and anger is what these troops helped bring to Iraq so far, opressing the local population, just to a lesser degree. But when you listen to CNN, it really does seem strange that out of nowhere, all these resistnace groups just keep spawning, apparently out to get these "benevolent and ever so kind" Americans. Take some time to analyze that one.
Furthermore, US troops should have never been in that country in the first place. Why? Because it's none of their business what goes on there. Nobody made that country the "world police" and they shouldn't try to assume that role. Such "benevolent", but forceful policing is and will lead to more conflicts with other developed nations. But then, why did all those soldiers go there and why did some die there? Very simple: to finish what Bush senior had started, for one. And two, to obtain all the oil resources of that country. And although Bush is certainly to blame for this, his republican funding friends are infinately more guilty. All they can see is the pile of money, and they don't care about people or wars. Truly a terrible mentality. And so they play lil' ol' Bush like the good puppet he is and like the good ventriliquists they are. Bush family profits too, of course (they own a big oil company in case you didn't know).
On top of this, these greedy people are now excluding other countries from building in Iraq. Officially, this is because of "not helping out". But in reality, they just want to keep all the money in the country, to themselves, so no foreign capital can profit from this. Again, unstoppable greed, and complete media compliance. And media is quite their slave too - why else do you think Bush's previous drug usage was so quickly hushed down and never came up again? I don't know.....could be a big fat paycheck....but I don't know....
And if you think that America is so friendly and loves to help out poor nations even when there are no financial interests, take a look at Liberia. That country was in turmoil this year, very poor economy and founded by the US may I add. Instead of helping these people, what do we see on the news? "USA pulls its troops out and leaves the situation to escalate". Suddenly, there was no dire urge to help those people and set up a good government there. But in Iraq, all kinds of "help" was offered. This is hypocrisy at its finest.
So as you see, America is doing all kinds of inappropriate things right now. They're not helping anyone, but themselves and this only serves to further the gap between them and their allies and to create more hatred and determination within their enemies.

I'm sorry, but the mainstream media is making us look like we're villains (in many cases, they do a good job brainwashing some people). It is true that not everyone is happy in Iraq, but the majority DO feel that they're better off without Saddam and are glad to see him gone. Do the soldiers need to leave? No!! N-O...NO!!! There is still a lot of work that needs to be done. Too many liberals think we're spending too much time in Iraq. Well, history shows that forces spent much more time in Europe after the end of WWII.
As for resistant groups, I've read and heard from other sources that those forces are mostly groups from Iran and Syria, and not really Iraqis (that isn't to say that there are no Iraqis resisting the coalition).
Why do you keep bringing up "Bush profiting for oil"? Sheesh.

I'm not surprised with the differences in the media coverage. I've heard about the Arab media (i.e. Al-Jazeera), and from what I heard, they really do a good job putting an Anti-American spin on the news.

of course there were other reasons for that war (i.e. that every better US-Prez needs a war to be "cool"). but one of the most obvious ones was the oil thing. why weren't US-soldiers allowed to shoot enemy soldiers standing on oil-thingys (you know those pump-things they use, my english has just gone AWOL :D )
Thing is that i've been against Bush jr. since day 1. he won those elections because he cheated. (guess who's boss of florida? Jeb Bush! strange coincidence) then there were these liaisons with his father's friends.
IMO Bush shouldn't die neither should Saddam. They both should simply be "put aside". like give each of 'em a big house and a live long salary as long as they don't work.
I only wish i'd be able to understand Al-Jazeera. Do you? If no you can only believe that they have anti-american statements in there, because (and here's the twist) the US.Media told you so. See what i mean?

I knew this topic would get out of hand, and every damn person would come out of the woodwork to dump on Bush.
All of you foreigners make it your lifes job to f***ing insult him and every damn move he makes. He isn't a genius, and he isn't the greatest leader in history, but my god; don't try to hide that obvious fact that you just like to insult this country.
And btw, I don't like Bush either; but I don't give a damn what he does.

Some of you guys are real class acts.. I've never seen such examples of idiocy on this board in my life.. Seriously, how could you guys just attack Machias like that? Did you read anything she said? Because after reading her post, any person with the slightest hint of common sense wouldn't even consider bashing what she'd said. ZariousTwo, who the hell are you to even speak, when you clearly know nothing about what's going on? And Rez, get out of here, really, I don't believe anyone wants you here. I don't see how you guys could take a topic about such a GREAT THING and totally MANGLE IT INTO SOME UGLY, TWISTED debate about this country. How dare any of you make us out to be the villains. How f*cking dare you. Jesus. Leo needs to get his ass back here ASAP and set you morons straight. Sorry, this may not have been one of the smartest posts I've ever written, but I don't give a damn. I'm too pissed to care.

Okay..
After speaking with some of the other mods, it is agreed that some people cannot handle the maturity of such a topic, and thus is over with.
