And where's Osama Bin Laden? Isn't he the guy we started this whole fucking war over? Or did we all forget about the guy who got his followers to drive planes into the WTC and the Pentagon?
What threat is Saddam Hussein? Have we found the reported "Weapons of Mass Destruction" that we claimed they had at the beginning of the war? No. With three loaded guns and his back to the wall, did Saddam put up a fight? No. He's a millie. He's a weak man who no longer holds the citizens of Iraq in his grasp. And I think we'll see that even more clearly in the weeks to come.
But one good thing will come of his capture, I'm sure. It may mean an end to the suicide bombing and the resistance by Saddam's followers in Iraq. In fact, since his apprehension, the attacks have stopped completely.
I still think, however, that we cannot lose sight of the original objective of this "War on Terrorism," which is to bring Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda to justice for the murder of innocent civillians on September 11th, 2001. Until that man is captured, dead or alive, I won't ever consider this to be a military victory. No matter what our military may do in Iraq, the war's objective has not been met until Osama Bin Laden has been found and captured, and the Al Qaeda network dismantled. Everything else is just smoke and mirrors.
