this will sound like raindrops on a parade...

but, since when has capturing Hussein been a test of success in Iraq? Almost every article I've been reading has extended the proper jubilation (the pure good that it is to have this guy, like Milosovich, in custody) to a broader jubilation that his capture will convince many Americans that our going to Iraq was the right thing to do, and the right time to do it.

Did any dissenters to the war doubt that we'd get Hussein?
NO!

Rather, they doubted we'd find WMD. That, friends, is the true measure of success. Moreover, to proove that we entered the war at the right time, we need to uncover weapons that show an immediate threat to our country.
Having a dictator in hand is wonderful. I wish we could grab up a few others as well. But we went to war because of a supposed threat, not merely to remove Hussein. Until that threat is shown, the dissenters are not satisfied.
