Saddam Hussein Captured!

By Maurice Ali, Journalist


Saddam Hussein has been captured alive by US forces. Paul Bremer (head of U.S. administration in Iraq) made the announcement. He was captured by a coalition of U.S. and Kurdish/Iraqi Forces. A picture of the former Iraqi leader showed him to be wearing a beard and his hair dishelveld.

The obvious question is what happens to the U.S. Presidential race. This has to be the biggest disaster for President Bush as the only thing worse would be the capture of Osama Bin Laden. Bush's presidential plans must now be clasified as "over"! The one half trillion dollar allotment for the rebuilding of Iraq is also changed by this news. The relative closure this news brings leave the Democrats more room to displace the President. The bottom line is that Bush needed the fear of another "disaster" and the ongoing search for Hussein and Bin Laden to keep the focus off the U.S.economy; with the capture of Hussein, the focus now turns to the economy, and coalition forces and support will now disapate.

What does this mean to the people of Iraq..... Will the occupying forces hasten to leave now that the threat of a coup is now a remote possibility?

For U.S. ground forces, the news should mean a lessening of guerrilla attacks against them every day. Time will only tell.
