What a night! So much running through my head, or so little I'm not sure. They god Saddam.... or at this point there are unconfirmed reports that they got it, there will be an official announcement of some sort or another in 75 minutes. Oh shit this is crazy how can I sleep? They captured Saddam... I was so excited I woke my dad up, he was happy about the capture but not about the phone call... fair enough. People in Iraq are celebrating again... This really could mean a lot for our eventual success there, and make no mistake, as long as we're in there we mght as well succeed. His capture is symbolic for the Iraqi people, and it is great that we didn't kill him, right? We can put him on trial and show the world how pathetic he is instead of martyr him. I worry that this might, as my dad suggested, make Bush a hero... that would be a) absurd, and b) bad for america. I doubt that this will look that great for BushCo in the LONG run, but I have this bad habit of giving "the masses" more credit then they deserve... Beyond that I'm making some progress in designing my future... to use a rather gross phrasing. OH, oh! Here we go, live to an announcement on NBC... here it comes ooooh shit... "US OFFICIALS SAY THEY ARE CERTAIN THAT THEY HAVE CAPTURED SADDAM HUSSEIN. ...WHICH OF COURSE WOULD BE A HUGE VICTORY FOR THE WAR ON TERRORISM AND GEORGE BUSH " (fucked up editorializing by the reporter in Baghdad) In tikrit, by the way. They were at a basement in Tikrit.... You know I'm realizing as I listen to this that you will you will all know what I'm telling you long before you read this on Monday at the office or library or whatever, yeah, ok, so my thoughts here aren't at all reflected upon but I'm just excited I guess about this and wanna write about it. So the other news... yeah... I'll hold it a bit close to my chest for now... Some things I can't write about on here you know? But call me or email me for info.
