Chaos is the goal. After all, no pain, no gain. As Condie implied about people being bombed to death in Lebanon for no good reason except for her delusions of grandeur--chaos in Iraq is only more "birth pangs" for a new Middle East.
Posted by Nobody at December 28, 2006 05:01 PMOne turkey will be hanged, and 450 civilians, including women and children, will die as a result. Good idea, dorks..
And Wanker won't discuss his new Iraq strategy until Ford is buried with pomp and circumstance. In the meantime, 10 - 12 US military personnel will most likely meet their maker. Damn, he appreciates the troops.

Posted by Christopher at December 28, 2006 05:18 PMThe only way there will be balanced justice is if Rummy and GHW are hanged in the same noose with Saddam. Too bad Ronnie is already dead. Anybody else ever see that list of chemicals and biologicals that we provided to Saddam? Quite a list. And at a time when our great Repuglycan leaders knew what he was doing with those...WMD's.
Posted by Julie at December 28, 2006 05:25 PMI feel a 'surge' is going to be needed to quell the violence.
Good gawd, we have to impeach this fucker!
Posted by Seven of Six at December 28, 2006 05:33 PMOne thing certain about Bushco's Iraq: it'll ALWAYS get worse!
Posted by euzoius at December 28, 2006 06:09 PMSoS, I was just going to say the same thing. Pure and simple: the Sunnis have promised to accelerate the violence when Saddam is executed. The accleleration will be used as an excuse for a mighty "surge," and a bloodbath ensues. It's so fookin' obvious.
They tried the same sort of provocation by stepping up strikes in the no fly zone, hoping Saddam would shoot at our planes and give Bush the excuse to invade. This time, the bushies are hedging their bets, and pretty much telegraphing their plan in advance, so the media gets it right.
Posted by iamcoyote at December 28, 2006 06:12 PMWell, you can be sure of one thing, Saddam's death, prior to Bush's speech, will be mentioned as evidence of his war on terra being successful.
Saddam trusted the wrong people.
Posted by Judith at December 28, 2006 06:12 PMSooner or later, all of these American trained Iraqis we have been producing in the American War College for Covert Insurgent Warfare and Ethnic Cleansing are simply going to turn their guns on their teachers one day, open the gates they are "guarding" in the Green Zone, and boot us out. The GI/Local ratio is simply not enough to protect US when they decide they have been schooled and trained enough. We will again see the helecopters taking off from the Embassy roof.
Can't these idiots see that "training" the Iraqis will be used against US!
Posted by Nobody at December 28, 2006 06:24 PMAs an aside,
I remember hearing an interview with Saddam just before the invasion when he said he had no WMD and that he was not lying about his capabilities. He also said that after the invasion, we would find out whether it was he or Bush who was the lier.
I wish I could find the article since its so ironic.
Posted by Nobody at December 28, 2006 06:31 PMUgh, this post hit me hard. It's nasty on many levels.
[shakes head] Two more years. It's gonna get real bad.

Posted by Judith at December 28, 2006 06:59 PMWhat greater act of "unity" than to spare the life of such a brutal man?
What better sign of hope that there may be peaceful coexistance among Sunni and Shia in Iraq?
Capital punishmant could serve no stronger lesson than in it's absense at this moment.

This is what's happening to y'alls constant resort to hyperbole. You declared this fucking thing a civil war months ago, so now what is it called? Super Duper Son of Civil War? And the reason will be that Saddam is finally dead?
Saddam is already dead!
Let these fuckers pile each other to the sky. When they're done, what's left of the government can cut the survivors in on the oil.

Republi-cons are all the same. "Let them all die." And then the republi-cons bitch and moan and whimper like scared tards when them say "Get rid of the infidel." Which came first? Republi-con arrogance and prejudice or a disaffected group's hatred of arrogant and prejudiced republi-cons?
You declared this fucking thing a civil war months ago,
No. NBC did. We just had our suspicions.

Humanitarianism is for suckers, snark, dontcha know.
Toby, why so upset? In the grand scheme of things, of course Saddam is dead. But that doesn't mean the bushies won't use his dangling corpse for political gain. Seems to me, you've always admired that in a politician.
You declared this fucking thing a civil war months ago, so now what is it called? Super Duper Son of Civil War?
It is what it is. But while you worry about what it should be named, the rest of us are concerned about the expected increase in military and civilian casualties that are pretty much guaranteed by an escalation in violence on our part. While you worry about who gets the oil, we worry about who gets to live. It's a matter of priorities; who's to say which is right, huh?
Posted by iamcoyote at December 28, 2006 08:58 PMOh Toby, you've got me in stitches!
It's become a civil war because we called it one a few months ago? It wasn't the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis GW Bush has killed, that's plunging Iraq into civil war?-- or the ineffectual puppet government Junior set up?-- or the militias running amok?-- but rather us, the critics, with our hyperbole that set the match to civil war?
You can't be joking. You've got to be crazy. But then, we knew that.
Posted by Copeland at December 28, 2006 09:27 PM"Let these fuckers pile each other to the sky. When they're done, what's left of the government can cut the survivors in on the oil."
Spoken like my true Republicans friends. Kill the bastards, destroy their land, let them kill each other, and after they have laid waste every city in Iraq (with our help, of course), "cut the survivors in on the oil" (meaning, of course, us). Actually, my Republicans friends think we should just drop 'the bomb' and then take the spoils of war.
If there is anything lacking in people like Toby, it is the ability to feel empathy. It is the inability to be sensitive to the feelings and experience of anothers. A terrible, terrible character flaw indeed.
If violence ensues post Sadaam dangling, they have only to hold their God-given purple thumbs on high, and peace, liberty, and democracy shall prevail.

Posted by phidipides at December 29, 2006 07:42 AMseeing a segment on CNN this morning illustrating how hanging kills a person ranks as a new low in broadcasting and shows how vile the Media has become under the reign of Bush's GOP. Bush will direct the timing of the hanging, and probably watch the video over and over.
Posted by T2 at December 29, 2006 08:35 AMCNN is reporting that US has turned over Saddam to Iraqis, execution imminent. Makes sense, Baghdad has a nighttime curfew and it's closing in on midnight there. He'll have the company of the other 2 side by side.
Posted by mainsailset at December 29, 2006 09:02 AMSaddam was brutal with his enemies as all dictators are. However, average Iraqi was safe to venture around. There was water and electricity 24 hours a day. Women were trated as equal to men and colleges were full with girl students. Shia and sunnis not only lived together but intermarry. In short, Saddam was not a religious fanatic but a secular dictator.
Now what have we done of Iraq? Our government did not understand that democracy in muslim world is impossible. Only functioning democracy in the muslim country is in Turkey and that was established by a secular dictator who first mandated the population to get away from Islamic culture such as arebic script, wearing burkha by women, wearing traditional muslim clothing by men, etc.
With current situation in Iraq, I think there will be no democracy but a dictator will immerge. However, he may turn out to be a shia cleric and Iraq will be with Iran and US and Israel have a big headache.

False. The only possible concern you have for the people of Iraq and the end of justice is how it shades the plausibility of your mindless criticisms of the Bush Administration. There are millions of people all across Iraq tonight who have been praying for this moment their entire lives. They owe this to the bravery of the American Soldier, whom Bush put in harm's way to effect this end.
You think your mewling, shitforbrains opinion of what justice is to the people of Iraq could possibly trump what it is that's coming?
Posted by Toby Petzold at December 29, 2006 11:44 AMThe shitbrain "conservatives" scream that the emergence of al Qaeda is "WWIII" and WE'RE the ones accused of engaging in hyperbole.
Millions of Iraqis can now freely acknowledge that their country ran far better under Saddam. Quite an accomplishment!
We'll see how much thanks our soldiers get from Iraqis for the upcoming, much-prayed-for execution. My guess is not a lot.
A parody of justice being done to Saddam doesn't absolve us of the horrendous injustice done to Iraqis in the past three years.
At best, another meaningless spectacle for the puffed up moral hams of BushAmerica who refuse to acknowledge the rivers of blood they've unleashed. At worst, a cynical attempt to manipulate more Sunni insurgent violence to "justify" the already-decided escalation.

Posted by iamcoyote at December 29, 2006 12:39 PMAnd so it came to pass, as the only ruler in the world that could bring peace to the various factions in Iraq was lead to the gallows, he reflected upon the deepest cut of all: that his accomplishments were not recognized by the famous world-class guzzler of Kool-Aid, Trollby.
