Cspan Pentagon briefing.. Press thinks we have captured Saddam

[SoCalDem]

military guys are "dancing" around actually answering..hmmmmm

They are getting a tough questioning..:)

[SoCalDem]

1. The General sayd we should not focus on Saddam

whaaaaa??? Like we should not focus on Osama??

they were asked capture?? kill??

ans... tactical and has to do with the circumstances.. more dancing

[fertilizeonarbusto]

2. oh, right

If he had been captured, then we should focus on naught else.

[GainesT1958]

3. If they've actually GOT him...

Two questions:

1) Why are they so afraid to go ahead and TELL us? And...

2) Wonder how they'll approach the demands of the international community to try him as--and where--they're trying Milosevic? :eyes:

B-)

[kerouac]

7. Must kill saddam, trials will never happen

> Q1) Why are they so afraid
> to go ahead and TELL us? And...

Because they have to tell * what to think and say about it...

> Q2) Wonder how they'll approach the demands of the
> international community to try him as--and where--they're
> trying Milosevic? :eyes:

They must kill him somehow, if they haven't already. If
he is taken to any type of public/international court,
it could bring thugs like Rummy, Wolfy, Condi, Cheney,
Bush Sr. etc. into a courtroom..

8. If they have him

FIRST they interrogate/torture him for whatever useful info he might have (e.g. who else knows the details of US help in developing WMDs during the Iran/Iraq war) THEN they kill him and THEN they set up his "capture" during which he will "fight to the death".

9. You might just be right--I read a report today on IraqWar.ru

that there were two bullet holes behind the ear of one of
brothers.

[Neutrino]

11. Paragraph five of this good article--about the bullet

holes behind Qusay's ear-

http://www.iraqwar.ru/iraq-read_article.php?articleId=13506&lang=en

[Neutrino]

12. That's Paragraph 8

not 5

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

4. earlier question was if Poindexter

was still on payroll. yes he is.

[0007]

6. Poindexter was slammed on the Senate floor

this morning. The Democrats were beautiful.

[mike6640]

5. perhaps they did

actually catch him, but the powers that be cannot decide if they want him "dead or alive" yet.....

edit: :tinfoilhat: as proudly sport the cap.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

10. Captured and then held....

until he can be useful to the administration.

October surprise, anyone?

[spinbaby]

13. Hah!

On Tuesday!

See my prediction in this thread:

14. Why would they want to capture hussein? Is he a war criminal? has he

broken any laws?

Is he to be charged with crimes? If so, under what jurisdiction?

BUT IT SURE IS GOOD FOR BUSH'S POLL NUMBERS!

Get it?

No way this regime wants hussein ALIVE. They want him dead so he can't thwart their nefarious schemes.

Trust me, the world will never see hussein alive again.

[lanlady]

15. I find it hard to believe Saddam would be taken alive

but if that's the case, I hope he is tried a la Milosevic.

This shoot 'em up cowboy shit has got to stop.

[rocktivity]

16. Oh goody! That means they can have free elections and we can go home!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL: The terrorist futures market story is blowing up in our faces! Texas Dems are on the lam again! More attacks on coalition soliders! They're not responding to our story about a credible threat of more U.S. attacks!

RELEASE THE WEAPON OF MASS DISTRACTION!!!

Scramble! Scramble!

17. They are desperate, folks.. watch out

[dfong63]

18. but still no WMD's

no cigar, especially given all the tortured excuses the administration gave after they failed to capture saddam in the initial stages of the war, about how his capture or death was not so important.
