Who else thinks the media line "noose tightening around Saddam" is BS?
And even if he IS located, who thinks there will be any attempt to take him alive? I don't think I will ever not believe that his 2 sons were killed to prevent them from spilling the beans about past connections with the BFEE.

1. Somebody earlier posted
headlines from a year ago saying virtually the same thing - about Osama bin Forgotten. We know how that one turned out...

And if they do know so much, where are the weapons? And does anybody believe Saddam is still in Iraq?

9. AMAZING
Clearly, there was an email that went out from somewhere in the * admin, and then the parrots took over.

10. media
I agree. They have used that expesson so many times the rope is beginning to ravel on the noose. Or is the noose a WMD? We have to use that noose to protect ourselves?

3. It's bullshit
pure and simple. Yeah, yeah, yeah. *YAWN* Overreaching bellicosity is so predictable.

I think even if they find him, they'll (we'll) kill him.

4. I just thought of something else
wouldn't all this stuff just tip off Saddam? They didn't say they were tightening the noose around the sons before killing them.

5. The media is just repeating what they are being told.
Back into their old form, I see.

6. Why aren't those close to SH spilling beans now?
What do you think their strategy is in not spilling any beans to date?
Are they concerned that Tariq Aziz would contradict them? Where is Tariq, btw? And, what about SH's personal secretary. Why haven't we heard anymore about him?
