| Re: Saddam in the bag in Bagdad Shouldn't this be in the "Early Xmas presents" thread?
Yeah, I'm a bit skeptical, and will hold off with the champagne until after it's been confirmed. Even if it is a double, that's still progress. |

| Re: Saddam in the bag in Bagdad Too bad the soldiers involved won't get any of the reward money.
Great news for almost everyone. Iraqis dancing in the streets and kissing our soldiers again. This is just plain awesome. 
Now that he's gone, Task Force 21 can fully concentrate on Bin Laden. |

| Re: Saddam in the bag in Bagdad I say let the Iraqis punish him! Im sure it will be more satisfying then our slow azz pathetic judicial system.
now we'll just have to wait for the tree huggers to come out of the woodwork and France of course, trying to help save him from the death which he deserves.
Congrats men and women!  |

I don't recall exactly when it was announced, but recently the military formed a Spec.Ops. unit specifically tasked with finding Hussein and Bin Laden, and they named it Task Force 21. This story mentions them, but it's always hard to find info on groups that don't 'officially' exist. |
