Just for the Pinko's!!

ALMOST as satisfying as the capture of Saddam was watching the anti-war brigade wriggle.

 

Even cheese-eating surrender monkey-in-chief Jacques Chirac claimed to be delighted that the Butcher of Baghdad was in US custody.

 

Gerhard Schroeder, the German Chancellor, sent President Bush a telegram, which read: “I congratulate you on this successful operation. Saddam Hussein caused horrible suffering to the region. I hope the capture will help the international community’s effort to rebuild Iraq.”

 

You have to admire the cheek of it. Neither Chirac nor Schroeder lifted a finger to liberate Iraq.

 

If they’d had their way, Saddam would still be there inflicting “horrible suffering” on his own people, sponsoring terrorism and pursuing his nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programme.

 

Same goes for the Stop The War crowd. While professing relief that the old tyrant was safely under lock and key, they couldn’t bring themselves to admit that maybe it had all been worth it, after all.

 

Of course, they say, we’re glad Saddam’s reign of terror is over, but where are the weapons of mass destruction?

 

Patience, children. We may be about to find out.

 

If Saddam can stay hidden down a hole for months, who knows what else is buried beneath the sands of the Iraq desert?

 

We know he had WMDs a few years ago. Even Robin Cook admits that. And given that he hasn’t fired them, or eaten them, they must be somewhere.

 

Either they’re still in Iraq or he shifted them out of the country, probably over the border to Syria.

 

If he’d destroyed them, you might have thought he would have said something, rather than refusing to allow in UN inspectors and bringing down a full-scale invasion on his head.

 

Now that he’s been arrested, he’s bound to talk.

 

Given that he was discovered grovelling in a hole, rather than making an heroic last stand and going down in a magnificent hailstorm of fire power, I shouldn’t think he’ll prove too hard a nut to crack.

 

So much for the spirit of Saladin.

 

Saddam is clearly motivated by saving his own skin and full co-operation and disclosure is his only bargaining chip.

 

If he’s not scared of the firing squad, he’d have put up a fight in Tikrit.

 

He hadn’t even got the courage to blow his own brains out.

 

Despite the reports that he’s being treated under the rules of the Geneva Convention and giving away little more than his name, rank and serial number, it won’t be long before he’s singing like a canary.

 

Saddam’s arrest has overshadowed two other significant developments, courtesy of the Sunday Telegraph’s splendid Iraq expert Con Coughlin.

 

First, Coughlin tracked down the source of the claim that battlefield WMDs could have been fired within 45 minutes.

 

He was an Iraqi commander, with links to resistance groups in London, and he not only confirmed the story but said just prior to the invasion such weapons had been delivered to the front line.

 

For a variety of reasons, probably with self-preservation high on the list, they weren’t used.

 

The super-scary “elite” and “special” Republican Guard, who were going to fight to the last ditch, chose to do a runner instead.

 

But these weapons must still be somewhere.

 

Second, Coughlin has established that Mohammed Atta, mastermind of the September 11 attacks, was trained in Baghdad by legendary terrorist Abu Nidal, who was given sanctuary by Saddam.

 

So much for the theory that there were no links between the Iraqi regime and al-Qa’ida.

 

My guess is that there’s more to come once Saddam starts spilling the beans.

 

And he will, if the choice is between those nice Americans and a team of Iraqi interrogators.

 

The Allies aren’t out of the woods in Iraq just yet. There will be further terror attacks. Baghdad was never going to be rebuilt in a day.

 

But with the capture of Saddam, Bush and Blair have been vindicated.

 

A tyrant has been toppled, a country liberated.

 

They were right. The anti-war brigade were wrong.

 

Roll on Bin Laden.
