Leave canceled for Iraqi army officers

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- The defense minister has canceled leave for all army officers, apparently fearing violence after Sunday's expected announcement of a verdict in the trial of Saddam Hussein.

Defense Minister Abdul-Qader al-Obeidi was heard issuing the order in video of a meeting Friday between Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and senior military and security officials, in which al-Maliki upbraided them for failing to stop the capital's unbridled violence.

"All vacations will be canceled and all those who are on vacation must return," al-Obeidi said, adding that reserve soldiers would be called up within 12 hours.

Hussein will hang and the Dhims and drive-by media will hang themselves over it. Everyone wins.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Three years after he gave himself up to American soldiers without firing a shot, Saddam Hussein may be condemned to hang on Sunday if an Iraqi court finds him guilty of crimes against humanity.

Stop wasting time and just hang the *****.

Three years after he gave himself up to American soldiers without firing a shot,

Memo to al-Reuters:
We found him in a f*cking hole, if he had even moved for a gun his head would have been blown off. He didn't give himself up, he was captured like a coward.

How about offering the "Mother of all Plea Bargains":

1. admit all of the details of your variuous WMD programs; or

2. you get left alone in Kurd territory wearing nothing but your tightie whities

"Three years after he gave himself up to American soldiers without firing a shot..."

More like, "Three years after he was discovered cringing in a filthy rat hole in the ground, and was dragged out, sniveling and protesting, by grinning American soldiers..."
