Saddam captured

According to various officials in Iraq (former exile Chalabi, Kurdish leader Jalal Talabani, Ibrahim Janabi of the Iraqi National Accord), Saddam has been captured in his hometown of Tikrit.

"Volleys of automatic rifle fire echoed across Baghdad as Iraqis drove around town honking their car horns and giving the V for victory sign, witnesses said."

[Edit: DNA tests confirm that this is the real one.]

[Edit: Blair has already announced the capture of Saddam]

So! I guess that Bush can checkmate his enemies. How substantial will his popularlity boost be from this victory? How much will this affect the ongoing War in Iraq?
