Now that's an image!
The left wing has been very gracious today. Dean has sent his congratulations circuitously through the press to Bush, saying today is a day for him to celebrate.
Thom says, "Okay, so now what?" Which is a very good question. This is by no means the endgame. And as I asked in a similar thread to this: "Are YOU ready for four more years of Bush?" I might have spoken ahead of myself. In all actuality, the real work begins. Capturing Saddam should have always been the easy part. Repairing the country's infrastructure will remain the difficulty. And if Bush can't do that relatively soon, he might find some trouble in being reelected.
The good thing about this capture is it shows to the world that the U.S. completes its tasks as far as capturing a tyrant. By no means does Saddam's capture eliminate the threat of continued violence, but on the surface, it gives some hope to the Iraqi people.
With that said, the Iraqis may be more cooperative with the U.S., and foreign countries who initially were resistant to involve themselves in the rebuilding process of Iraq might now get involved.
As for Bin Laden, they'll find him. But I feel it might involve going into Pakistan. If anything, he lives like an animal, and in that, is much more elusive.
