AIIIE!!!

what do you all think should be done with him now (extraction, punishment, etc)?

[KoS.Rebel]

bah cookie u beat me to it but i still love you. I think we should give saddam over to the iraqui people and let them beat the fuck out of him for his crimes. Just wait till the french start claiming that they knew we could do it and that they helped out when they are just a bunch of dickheads like saddam and osama. Hooah to the US army!

[c| Hathcock]

The Iraqi's just set up their own War Crimes tribunal just last week.  Any bets on the first contestant?

[0 Kilz:M:]

Well it's about fu*kin time! That fool has so much damn money and he's hiding in 6-8 hole under a farmhouse...what a fuc*kin noob.

His ass will be tried for some and comvicted of war crimes or some shit and be in military prison forever.

[KGB]

But is it the real Saddam and not one of his many stuntdoubles

lol. sorry just describing saddam as a noob hehe.
He dosn't half look a bit out of it doesn't he!

oh. Congratulations to the Americans for breaking the Geneva Convention AGAIN by showing pictures of POWs ... or im sorry 'illigal combatants'

[spike]

first of all, why the fuck cant you show pictures of P.O.W's? id like to hear the reasoning on that. i guess saddam had 750k in american cash, two aks and a pistol, and yet he didnt fire a single shot. and to all you americans, you know what with means: bush for another four years....godamnit

[kami]

Perhaps he didn't want to get killed? Chances are if he had tried to shoot someone he's just have been executed on the spot.

They did the DNA testing and they proved it's him, so don't sweat it KGB.

Look at this old man, I mean... if is this a mass murderer, then maybe we should fear santa as well. (It sucks how they shaved his beard off).

And he's probably going to be handed over to the Iraqi war trib.

Rebel, the capture of Saddam is not going to change much at all.

Some of you guys are real jackasses, just for the record.

[Psyks]

Well it seems to be the real thing go USA

[Supernatural Pie]

I'll be really pissed off when/if they hand him over exclusively to the war tribunal. Someone'll probably end up breaking him out. I say, let him sit in an interrogation room (in U.S. custody) and have him be injected with drugs that will make his spine compress until it snaps. (Or tells us where the WMD's are)

Or, we could do it the old fashioned way:

What about when Saddam showed the U.S. POW's on T.V. during the First Gulf War???  Only problem with the Geneva Convention is that the UNITED STATES (and a few of our allies) IS THE ONLY NATION THAT TRIES TO FOLLOW THE DAMN THING.  And besides, Saddam is not a "POW".  He is in the same class as the Nazis that were captured and put on trial at Nuremburg after WWII.....and pictures of them were widely distributed all over the world.

But hey, like it or not, believe it or not, Bush just got re-elected for President......

MUHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Cutter]

...sons killed and the man himself caught alive to face iraqi and then possible international war crimes tribunals. nice, very nice

[Noto]

Actually... The Geneva Convention specifies POW's as uniformed combatants.  I highly doubt Saddam was wearing a uniform, let alone was in a combat position.  Therefore, Saddam doesn't actually classify as a POW according the to Geneva Convention.  If England was an occupied country, and Blair was on the run, would you believe your aggressors if they said they found Blair, but did not provide proof?  I think showing pictures of Saddam helps to take away the morale of insurgents that have been using guerilla tactics over the past 6-8 months.  I have a feeling that the attacks we hear about every day against U.S. personel will begin to fade quickly.  And to Saddam... Nice spider hole... reminds me of Webster's house.  Except in Webby's house, it probably smelled like roses.  I can only imageine what Saddam's little club house smelled like.

So much hate for a person you have no record with. Chill down, it's not your dictator, it's the Iraqi's dictator. It's their business what they do with him, he'll probably be executed by them Iraqis anyways.

[tasty]

We should sign the ICC and hand him over to that.

[Toxic::Joka]

first of all, why the fuck cant you show pictures of P.O.W's?

So that the goverments dont use the soldiers as pawns in their  propaganda machine.

Never thought they would catch the little rascal, nj.

[Mr. Lothario]

     I find it hard to believe that the Iraqi tribunal will have anything to do with this. America will find some pretext to put on a show trial of their own or to take control of the "Iraqi" tribunal while still calling it that.

     You know, maybe this will give Bush the support he needs to actually be elected.

[c| Spetsnaz.]

It's too bad the man responsible for 9-11 remains free. Saddam was a third world dictator, not an international terrorists. Don't get me wrong, its great that we got him, but for the overall interest of the U.S. it really doesn't make a difference. This occurrence will add fuel to the real terrorists, they will be hellbent as ever to strike the U.S. in its state of euphoric glory. Saddam is a coward, he didn't even enter the glorious world of martyrdom in the name of his cause. If it was I in his shoes, I sure as shit wouldn't have let them take me alive.

[westamastaflash]

We should sign the ICC and hand him over to that.

And deny the Iraqi people justice? The ICC has no death penalty - and the Iraqis are out for blood - the Iraqi journalists at Bremer's conference were shouting "Death to Saddam" and other such lines. The man orchestrated the killing of untold thousands. He doesn't deserve life.

[Typhy]

GhostSniper, what was up with posting pictures of Saddam's dead sons? Pictures of Saddam?

Oh yes, I forgot that we're Americans, so us, and our pathedic society is above world law.

What's capturing Saddam mean? Another weapon in the US propaganda machine? That's about it.

Or, the American type attitude: "Saddam was obviously coordinating resistance attacks against US troops from his well hidden hole."

We went to war over what? Non existant WMDs? Or was it to "liberate the people to Iraq"? Well, we sure did a damn good job of that, killing over a thousand civilians, holding double standards, and making the people of that country feel unsafe in their own homes.

Saddam could've gone out and killed 10 thousand more people, and it would've come at less of a cost of human life than this useless war.

But hey, like it or not, believe it or not, Bush just got re-elected for President......

Re-elected? I'm still waiting to see him get elected the first time. Although, I must say - it's gotta take one hell of an election plan to win with the minority of the votes.

If the American people are stupid enough to actually elect Bush, then they deserve  to have a leader who takes after their stupidity.
