#5 Unless Tikriti was in France, Saddam probably wasn't in the same house.

#7 Well...I think they got them! Yes I do. I really do. I think that because of what Bush said on Tuesday which corresponds to the same time frame (Wednesday in Iraq). It's not like Bush to say something he can't back up. Maybe he got a little too excited and let the cat out of the bag...just couldn't help himself, he's only human after all. The sad part is that if they did catch them, they probably won't tell us right away, so I won't be able to gloat.

I imagine they'd like to have a little one on one time with Saddaam and Qusay before they start worrying about if their handcuffs are too tight or they haven't been getting enough beauty sleep.

#11 Eh... not sure I understand why the US forces would deny having caught him if they indeed have caught him... If only to stop the remaining insurgents, it seems to me likely that they'd likely want to announce it as soon as possible. Either his capture or his death.

Could the rumours and not-entirely-convincing-denials be just a propaganda ploy? Making his remaining supporters lose heart?

#12 Hold his corpse until the day before the 2004 election. Schedule an emergency National Television Broadcast the night before the election. Tell the children to avert their eyes...
