The news came like a flash in the pan, quite unexpected and took most people unaware.My initial impression of the capture was that of doubt and uncertainty as the captive could have been one of saddam's many "doublers".But as more information emerged,it became clear that one of the biggest manhunt in recent times has come to an end.
Most intriguing is the manner and circumstances of his arrest.For an infamous dictator responsible for the death of hundred of thousands of innocent people,syphoned billions of U.S dollars and lived an extravagant lifestyle before prompting an avoidable war that led him into hiding.During a period of about 8 months of hiding,saddam strategically created an aura of invicibility and resistance around him which has since been broken by his capture in a rat infested hole near Tikrit looking tired and disoriented like a caveman.
One is left to wonder what must have been going on in this Tyrant's head living with rats and "oppressing"them with thousands of U.S dollars.
Could someone please tell me what it profits a man to gain the whole world and lose his common humanity to inherit rat holes!
