Thank you

Congrats on catching him alive, well done.

You don't have me down as a Saddam lover, do you ? He is a SOB and a war criminal and deserves everyting he got coming.

However: I think catching him alive now is not a good sign for GWB. Dead it would have been a clean victory, alive he will only help bring the focus back to GWBs lying and cheating during the buildup to the war. I predict once the first celebrations are over, GWB will face renewed attention from the media regarding the missing WMDs and the big contracts awarded to his friends. Weather it's enough to throw the election or not; we can only hope (or not ).

BTW:
Feel free to throw this back in my face in 6 months time if I'm wrong

Dow is back over 10K; this will have more influence on the elections than catching Saddom. If the economy continues to improve and the recent trend of tech jobs returning to the states continues, then he will have a good chance of being reelected. If the problems in Iraq decrease, and the economy continues to improve, congress will turn to health care and reexamining free trade. A few changes on those fronts and he is again a tuff candidate to beat.
