A good outcome of Saddam's capture!
http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2003580992,00.html

Apparently he was directing attacks on our troops and we can now hope that witht he arrest of many of his top leaders the attacks will decrease.

1. Unfortunately
he was NOT DIRECTING the attacks this comes from one of the Generals, Odierno

And unfortunately the Ba'ath party is not the only one involved in the attacks

You will see this morph into something similar to what the Brits faced after the great revolt of 1920 as the Nationalist and the Wahabis take hold

Our troops will be able to rest easy now knowing that that George W. Bush has denied them mail order viagra offers.

Honest!

6. From CNN
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/12/16/sprj.irq.main/index.html

"Dempsey said that while Saddam apparently was not directing the attacks on coalition forces, some insurgents did report to him "on the chance that some day he might be able to once again be their patron."...

However, a senior official in Washington said the arrests were "not high-level people but cell members further down," adding that some information has been "actionable" intelligence that may save the lives of U.S. soldiers.

7. the sun is a tabloid paper
i think saddam and osama are gay lovers too, and martians are directing the insurgency. ;-)

and sorry if that was too harsh, i just try not to trust the tabloids too often. maybe i'm wrong this time though. :)

8. Britian's "The Sun" is little more than a daily "The Enquirer"
Most of its readers buy it more for sports and the ever popular Page 3 Girl. Today's a saucy Manchester lass!

9. Murdoch owns The Sun, exclusive interview to bush, remember?
Does anyone remember that bush gave an exclusive interview with The Sun when he visited England? Yes, the very same one with the naked lady on Page 3.

Murdoch is a RW shill with more money than, well, God. The Sun is a RW echo chamber.

12. And the videos since the US coalition invasion...
He had access to video production, so he had access to more than worms in his little hole!
