“Ladies and gentlemen, We GOT him! The tyrant is a prisoner.”
Ambassador L. Paul Bremer
We can clean the filth that was on him but never clean the filth within him.
Saddam Hussein will murder No More.
"I'm Saddam Hussein ," the man with the scruffy beard said in English when U.S. troops found him in a dirt hole.

" Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price,
bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order

John F. Kennedy
From the first moment the American video of Saddam in custody began rolling, Iraqi journalists stood and screamed.
Some yelled, “Kill him! Kill Saddam.” The people of Baghdad caught the spirit of hope and pain, firing

“The devil is gone.” It was like a wedding day, or perhaps more a birthday. “We will be friends with
the Americans because of this,” said a delighted Syed Hassan al Naji, the Baghdad commander of gadfly
cleric Moqtada Sadr’s militia, the Army of Mehdi.
In his white turban and long robes, Al-Naji beamed
with pleasure in his neighbor’s house in Sadr City as the news came out over the Arabic news channels.
“This is a great day.”
