Now that's an interesting choice of names for the operation that captured Saddam is it not?
BTW, a special salute to the 4th Infantry out of Ft. Hood, Texas, who participated in the capture of Herr Hussein! 'WE GOT HIM' U.S. soldiers with 4th Inf. Div. capture Saddam Hussein near his hometown WASHINGTON, Dec. 14, 2003 — With three words – “We got him” – Ambassador L. Paul Bremer III announced at a press briefing in Baghdad today that U.S. forces had captured Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein near his hometown of Tikrit. Saddam was taken into custody at a small mud-walled compound outside the village of Adwar at 8:30 p.m. local time Dec. 13. About 600 members of the 1st Brigade, 4 th Infantry Division, along with special operations forces, launched Operation Red Dawn after receiving intelligence that Saddam was in the area, said Army Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, commander of coalition forces in the country. www.defenselink.mil/ I think someone in the military has a very nice, maybe even jaded, sense of humor, eh?

Stange how the world works. The capture of Saddam Hussein is going to cause a jump in the sale of a movie starring Patrick Swayze. [;)]

Wow! I'm just so damn happy that they caught that POS.
And how fitting; from an opulent palace to a hole in a ground. I bought my copy of Red Dawn just three weeks ago from here: [url]http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi[/url] |
