Skylark 0 #27 December 14, 2003 QuoteQuoteThat is really cool! But what to do with him now? Fair trial? Staged trial to satisfy masses? Quick execution? 'Suicide' in captivity? Lifetime holiday pack in Cuba? How about years of torture, rape, and injustice like he imposed on his own citizens? I know people who were able to escape Iraq and get to the US. Find anyone from Iraq who left family there. They will give you the full accounts. Any eye for an eye, eh? Hmmm, I had no idea that so many people advocate Islamic law outside the Middle East.

How and by whom is the question that might complicate things a bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newshooter12 0 #34 December 14, 2003 Don't mean to hi-jack this... just thinking outloud. Did you catch the amount of $$ he had on him or his gaurds? $750k in US $100 bills. That's a lot of jump tickets, but combine it with a CBS nightly newsreport about the price of gas over there for the iraqis. They can get 25 gallons for $1.oo US. Something like 18.75million gallons for his pocket change. Scary part is that it'd cost me in NY about $2,981,250 for those same 1,562,500 12gal tanks full of 87. Can you imagine how much the US gov't was allegedly overpaying for the gas from Halliburton. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now the hard part begins - who gets to put him on trial, who gets to pay tax dollars to keep him alive, etc. This should all become very complicated esp with the mood some of our allies have been in recently in regards to our handling of things in Iraq.

You think Jessica Lynch was used for PR, wait to we see how this is used. While this will certainly be great for PR, I don't actually think the timing of the capture was calculated for political purposes. This gives GWB a good 11 months to blow any rise in popularity that Hussein's capture might afford him.

Really kickass job. From the description of his hiding location and his state at the time of his capture, it seems that he wasn't taking a very active role in coordinating the terrorist attacks on our folks over there, though. It indicates that the coordination was either delegated to other former regime officials OR it is being done by Syrian, Al Quaida, or possibly others. Despite this, I think his capture will do a couple of things in the long run. #1 Fedayeen recruiters/leaders undoubedly used the prospect of the return of a Hussein regime as a motivational tool. Now that tool is gone forever. A major psychological blow. #2 Allowing an Iraqi court or tribunal to try Hussein rather than an American one would give the Iraqi populace a feeling of empowerment of sorts, I do believe. This might possibly result in some troops coming home a bit earlier - but not much earlier. Oh what a great morning.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ChasingBlueSky 0 #47 December 14, 2003 I'm curious to see when the attacks will begin again. UBL has troops in the area, and the Iraqi's that are still upset about the lack of supplies, electricity, crime, etc will still wake to find those problems there tomorrow. We should get a better feel over the next week if SH was really organizing the attacks on the invasion force from his hole. Remember this is a culture that has been surrounded with violence for the last hundred years or so(if not more), and for most - that is the only way they know how to handle an adversive situation.
