[lbo-talk] will this be like uday and kusay capture?

[Stephen Philion]

My first impression as a military expert (ha ha) is saddam looked pretty
disshevled and wiped out, which would seem to confirm the claims of the
guerillas that saddam isn't orchestrating the attacks on the "coalition".
so will this have the effect the occupiers hope for or will it be more along
the line of the uday effect? or a combination of both? if resistance groups
come out with statements praising the capture...the occupiers have some work
on their hands.

my guess is now (again as an expert on military matters) saddam is talking
turkey with the US...ready to give info on the resistance for x or y
price...?

the capture of him alive puts the US in a funny position, now possibly to be
tried for its own bolstering of Saddam during the worst of the massacres he
will be tried for...Very interesting there was no firefight to the death in
this case, can't work out to the benefit of the Americans I'd think.
