Habeus Corpus

The front page of the New York Post claims that the US is "confident" that Saddam is dust. Reading the story, we see that they are only "confident" he is dead if he was actually in the building. They were less "confident" about that fact.

On the other hand, the BBC claims that "US intelligence officials suspect [Saddam Hussein] survived."

The Sydney Morning Herald points out that bombing middle class residential neighborhoods isn't going to win the US any friends.

It's doubtful that Saddam Hussein is dead, but fairly certain that nine civilians are dead and several houses have been vaporized. I don't see how this advances the so-called goals of this war. Wouldn't it be preferable to capture Hussein so that we can find out the truth about the WoMD? I think I'm ready to get back into the fray. This skirmish is getting out of hand, and we Americans shouldn't be supporting the bloodlust of our illegitimate president. Our Congress needs to call for impeachment. If this isn't an abuse of power, I don't know what is.

Of course, we all know where we have to start. Every Democrat currently in office has to know that unless they change their lily-livered ways and say something about he atrocity that is the Bush Administration Part 2: This Time It's Personal, they're out of there. I know voting is considered uncool by the kids, but it's the right thing to do.
