BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq's prime minister on Saturday urged his countrymen to accept the impending verdict against Saddam Hussein without violence, then in the next breath declared the former dictator must get "what he deserves" with the decision that could send him to the gallows.

WOW ... calling in extra air support?

I think they're just keeping an eye on things. They've moved their perimeter out...they're circling all around central Baghdad now.

[hoagy62]

Actually, news reports have already stated that the court decided he will hang, and that he won't have a firing squad like he wanted.

I hope you're right and I am praying and voting GOP.

However, Ramsey Clark, a former US attorney-general who advised Saddam’s defence team, said that a death sentence would deliver “victor’s justice” that would fuel conflict in Iraq for decades

Wow, that's great to hear --

Ramsey Clark Calls Saddam Death Sentence Justice, Says We Are The Victors!

If Saddam is not executed, the Shi'a will go on a rampage that will make the war itself look like a children's tea party. If I were an Iraqi Sunni, I would pray for Saddam's execution.

The drive by media can't get us down

The DBM can bite me

[Allegra]

The drive by media can't get us down.

Because we refuse to believe them.

We're smarter than John Kerry thinks we are, aren't we? ;-)

[onyx]

I think we'll keep both the Senate and the House.

Grrrrrr -- FNC just went back the the two beltway boobs.

Any mention of success by the US Military is a violation of the Bad News Only Policy of CNN.

[Steven W.]

CNN goes to Iraq week - "where did this week's war dead call home" - it's not a sympathetic tribute, it's a propaganda exercise & quite sickening. Up next, "Broken Government" .... meanwhile Beltway Boys on FNC

CNN is not saying much about the "sectarian death squads" either. These seem to be Shia sympathetic Iraqi's, killing "foreign fighters". They gloss over the binding and torture. The Ba'athist Saddam sympathizers, and AQ outsiders are getting extra orifices drilled into their craniums; with the subsequent slow removal of cerebral matter. Not as bad as panties and Glo-sticks from Coalition forces, according to CNN. But still a rather nasty business of Iraqi's cleaning up their own mess.

[Bonaparte]

"Who would you like to see anchor this coverage of Saddam's Verdict?"

Dennis Miller. He could provide just the right blend of sporting commentary and sparkling wit appropriate to the occasion. If Dennis is not available, perhaps Andrew Dice Clay would be willing to stand in for him.

[Mo1]

Oh I missed that one .. maybe I will go check them out again :0)

[onyx]

He'll do more than that at his execution --- recall IN COLD BLOOD wherein Perry Smith was worried about crapping his pants? If Saddam meets his death by hanging, he will surely mess his pants. Firing squad --- might scare the pee out of him. I'd like to see him beheaded...lol.

Grrrrrr -- FNC just went back the the two beltway boobs.

Pffft! This is not what I wanted to listen to. As soon as I went into the den to turn the t.v. up where I could hear it in the study, I got the beltway boobies.

Hmmph! I even have my snack fixed. Sweet tea with lime and potato skins with lots of sour cream and pepper.

[Allegra]

Stay safe .. and hoping the POS Saddam is found guilty

Me too. If he's not, I have to do somethng silly and humiliating at the chow hall. We were making bets last night. LOL

I think he's going to get the guilty verdict. We don't want to go through this again and again and I know the Iraqis don't either.

[truth_seeker]

"We're smarter than John Kerry thinks we are, aren't we? ;-)"

Smart enough to catch Saddam, and hang him!!

[JerseyDvl]

Damn straight we are...Freepers 'aint no DUmmies!
Even those of YOU stuk N IRAK ;)
