Looks like they're going to execute Saddam within a couple of days

CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - The Iraqi government has told U.S. officials that former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein could be executed within the next few days, a senior Bush administration official said on Thursday.

"I've heard that it's going to be a couple more days, probably," the official said while Bush took a holiday break at his Texas ranch.

He said he had heard from U.S. officials in Baghdad that the execution would not be Thursday U.S. time or Friday Baghdad time. "It's going to be maybe another day or so," the official said.

He said the government of Iraq would most likely inform U.S. officials about the timing of the execution when it gets closer.

Sickening. The whole thing looks like an effort to boost bushco's popularity, and put a positive spin on the fucked up war.

1. Brilliant. More kerosene for the fire.

Matched with equally brilliant plan to send more troops to kill & die it should really promote "stability" in Iraq.

Ignore the gunfire, explosions, and overcrowded morgues, it's merely "the birth pangs of a new Middle East"..according to that great genius Condoleeza.
