The impending hanging of Saddam has more to do with the US Congress changing hands

[madokie]

than anything going on in Iraq. Saddam could answer a lot of questions that the whitehouse don't want asked. methinks
this charade at the pig farm is all part of it too

1. I believe you may have touched on an inconvenient truth madokie

Thanks for posting

Kicked and recommended

[leftchick]

2. yes indeed

and suzanne malvoie(sp?) just said a "bush administration official said the execution will take place within days". How Fucking CONVENIENT!

[Smarmie Doofus]

3. And for that very reason wouldn't it be a good time...

for our elected DEMS... particularly those who claimed to have been 'misled' at the time of IWR ... to speak up and INSIST that Saddam be kept alive and tried for the poison gas attack?

What an *ideal* way to redeem one's honor and integrity.

[madokie]

4. That would be a good place for them to start

17. I thought the Democratic party had lots of lawyers in their midst.

Where are they now that justice needs them?

[Joe for Clark]

5. You may be touching on a truth.

One thing is true about this - the day he is executed, the sunni groups will take it out on our kids. They are not really doing that right now, not as a focus. They will focus on us the day that happens.

You know, that was our money and the blood of our kids that made the Saddam capture possible- they can surely wait to execute him til we leave. But as you say, they may have another agenda.

9. Joe I can feel it in my bones that there is a bloodbath of the likes Americans aren't

going to want to believe coming soon and it almost seems as if there is nothing that can be done to stop it. tet '68 comes to mind

[Joe for Clark]

13. It has already started.

There is a reason the death toll is so high this month. You watch it, and you will see it surging as we went thru the month, more as the days went on.

I don't think the second coming of Christ could stop it.

6. Oh, bull

"they've" been chomping at the bit to hang Saddam for quite some time, first chance they had.
Same thing would be happening if the Congress had not gone Democratic.

[spag68]

7. Most of what Saddam could say

is now known to the public. It seems that most americans either don't want to hear it or don't believe it anyway. Once again politics and wealth make punishment for crimes, no matter how nefarious, an option not applicable to the thugs in Washington.

8. Profound observation

[dogday]

10. Did he get an appeal?

It is not like I care, but are they doing things like a Democracy or what?

[madokie]

12. with the smell of kangaroo's and railroad ties

[LeftCoast]

11. Wow...so they tried and convicted him all since Nov?

Amazing. What's even more amazing is that he was sentenced two days before the election.

:eyes:

[badgerpup]

14. Ummm...so what would happen...

...if he was subpoenaed REALLY QUICKLY as a 'material witness' or something of that nature?
Isn't the Iraq invasion going to be one of the investigations?

[madokie]

15. they are in cover your ass mode right now and saddam is in chains

so it don't look good for him. One has to remember these guys play for keeps and they are in shit up to their eyeballs

[Vidar]

16. That's it in a nutshell.
