Saddam Hussein may be hanged within hours, senior Iraqi officials and the ousted president's defence team said on Friday.

(singing) G-d rest ye terrorist gentlemen,
On a stout rope you sway,
Remember the blood of Iraqi folk,
Will be redeemed that day,
By Satan's power you ascended
To a throne on which you played,
Ooo-ooo tidings of rightous revenge,
Rightous revenge,
Ooo-ooo tidings of rightous revenge!

CNN is realy upset about this execution for some reason.... are they afraid that it will mark a victory for Bush? Or, do they just hate our country?

Look for the Kossaks and the DUmmies to go into mourning shortly. They'll probably lower their UN flags to half-staff.

Were they so outraged when Timothy McVeigh was executed?

As PJ Comix pointed out so correctly about the Commie News Network - they're absolutely squeamish about the possible broadcasting Saddam's hanging but were oh-so righteous about a sniper video of one of our boys being shot.

When the count reaches zero, that's when they should kick the chair.

They wanted McVeigh out of the way ASAP, before he weakened and gave information on his co-conspirators. And made Clinton look bad...

Wait until the stock markets close for the year. Makes sense.

His body may be lifted to the sky, but his soul, such as it is, will be going elsewhere.
