One of the "big lies" was that this would be "quick". Bulls#!t, GST. Now you're resorting to making up things to claim they lied about? The large-scale fighting WAS quick, but Bush, Rumsfeld and everyone else in the administration said we'd be there "as long as it takes." The thing they took issue with was the ridiculous predictions from people like you that we'd be there ten years (while losing tens of thousands of troops and killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, of course). A couple years, perhaps, but ten is absurd. And your predictions of massive casualties are also clearly absurd, so now you are left to claim every single one as proof of failure and proof that Bush supporters don't care about American lives. You have no case, GST, and your arguments are getting more and more desperate every day.

U.S. Forces Capture Top Saddam Aide 1 hour, 14 minutes ago Add Top Stories - Reuters to My Yahoo! BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. forces in Iraq (news - web sites) have captured a top aide of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites), presidential secretary Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti who was number four on the list of 55 most wanted Iraqis, an army spokesman said on Wednesday. The spokesman said no information was available yet on where he was captured. During Saddam's rule, his presidential secretary was rarely far from his side. The presidential secretary was the ace of diamonds in the U.S. "deck of cards" of most wanted Iraqis and the highest- placed to have been caught so far. U.S forces have now captured 32 of the 55 on the list.
