'Saddam Is Done,' Marines Exult in Captured Town

Friday, March 21, 2003



SAWFAN, Iraq — U.S. Marines hauled down giant street portraits of Saddam Hussein in a screeching pop of metal and bolts Friday, telling nervous residents of this southern Iraqi town that "Saddam is done."

Milling crowds of men and boys watched as the Marines attached ropes on the front of their Jeeps to one portrait and then backed up, peeling the Iraqi leader's black-and-white metal image off a frame. Some locals briefly joined Maj. David "Bull" Gurfein in a new cheer.

I think Saddam is done... literally!

With all those Iraqi soldiers surrendering, Sodom, er, Saddam's chances are growing smaller (is that an oxymoron? growing smaller?)

I think it might be an oxymoron, but the Saddam is so backwards....

I think I heard that Saddam (or at least a double of him) was wounded and carried out on a stretcher.
