Without the leadership of President Bush and the bravery of our troops Saddam horrible death machine would be now killing and torturing hundreds of thousands of more Iraqis.
God bless our troops. God President Bush. God bless America.
Perhaps; although you may find a few 'Saddam Groupies' writing him love letters (ala Ted Bundy) if they had more time. I doubt these types would be conservative voters.
Yes, the Saddam human shredder machines, and legs first so they can feel the terrible pain.
Bush opposed Saddam, so, in kneejerk fashion, the left supports him.
A book called Republic of Fear is a chilling documentary of the the Iraq written well before the invasion of Kuwait. It is worth a look, most people these days have no idea what sort of madman this guy was.
I hope the sentence is served as swiftly as possible. Until then, I won't believe it until President Bush announces it in an address to the nation.
He will soon be dead. Fox News was reporting that the sentence would be carried out between 9:00 and 10:00 EST tonight.

The following article by British Labor Party Member of Parliament Ann Clwyd first appeared in the Times of London March 18, 2003. She is chair of INDICT, established in 1997 to campaign for the creation of an ad hoc International Criminal Tribunal to try leading members of the Iraqi regime on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including genocide and torture. Permission has been granted, by Ann Clwyd, covering Web site/Washington File distribution, republication, translation of the article by U.S. Public Diplomacy offices and local press outside the United States.
See Men Shredded, Then Say You Don't Back War
By Ann Clwyd
(The author is a British Labour Party Member of Parliament.)
"There was a machine designed for shredding plastic. Men were dropped into it and we were again made to watch. Sometimes they went in head first and died quickly. Sometimes they went in feet first and died screaming. It was horrible. I saw 30 people die like this. Their remains would be placed in plastic bags and we were told they would be used as fish food ... on one occasion, I saw Qusay [President Saddam Hussein's youngest son] personally supervise these murders."
This is one of the many witness statements that were taken by researchers from Indict -- the organisation I chair -- to provide evidence for legal cases against specific Iraqi individuals for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. This account was taken in the past two weeks.
Another witness told us about practices of the security services towards women: "Women were suspended by their hair as their families watched; men were forced to watch as their wives were raped ... women were suspended by their legs while they were menstruating until their periods were over, a procedure designed to cause humiliation."
The accounts Indict has heard over the past six years are disgusting and horrifying. Our task is not merely passively to record what we are told but to challenge it as well, so that the evidence we produce is of the highest quality. All witnesses swear that their statements are true and sign them.
For these humanitarian reasons alone, it is essential to liberate the people of Iraq from the regime of Saddam. The 17 UN resolutions passed since 1991 on Iraq include Resolution 688, which calls for an end to repression of Iraqi civilians. It has been ignored. Torture, execution and ethnic-cleansing are everyday life in Saddam's Iraq.
Were it not for the no-fly zones in the south and north of Iraq -- which some people still claim are illegal -- the Kurds and the Shia would no doubt still be attacked by Iraqi helicopter gunships.
For more than 20 years, senior Iraqi officials have committed genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. This list includes far more than the gassing of 5,000 in Halabja and other villages in 1988. It includes serial war crimes during the Iran-Iraq war; the genocidal Anfal campaign against the Iraqi Kurds in 1987-88; the invasion of Kuwait and the killing of more than 1,000 Kuwaiti civilians; the violent suppression, which I witnessed, of the 1991 Kurdish uprising that led to 30,000 or more civilian deaths; the draining of the Southern Marshes during the 1990s, which ethnically cleansed thousands of Shias; and the summary executions of thousands of political opponents.
Many Iraqis wonder why the world applauded the military intervention that eventually rescued the Cambodians from Pol Pot and the Ugandans from Idi Amin when these took place without UN help. They ask why the world has ignored the crimes against them?
All these crimes have been recorded in detail by the UN, the US, Kuwaiti, British, Iranian and other Governments and groups such as Human Rights Watch, Amnesty and Indict. Yet the Security Council has failed to set up a war crimes tribunal on Iraq because of opposition from France, China and Russia. As a result, no Iraqi official has ever been indicted for some of the worst crimes of the 20th century. I have said incessantly that I would have preferred such a tribunal to war. But the time for offering Saddam incentives and more time is over.
I do not have a monopoly on wisdom or morality. But I know one thing. This evil, fascist regime must come to an end. With or without the help of the Security Council, and with or without the backing of the Labour Party in the House of Commons tonight.

Yeah......and really sick when you think about it.
I think here in the U.S. we are far removed from violence and hatred this deep. Our most recent skirmish with violence was during the Civil Rights movement and the worst there were clubs and hoses. (Mind you, I'm not excusing those actions) Clubs and hoses just don't have that deep intimidating shock of shredders and explosives.

I have it on good authority (the American Left) that Saddam didn't have chemical weapons! /s
According to the last report, FOX said he will die by 10 O' clock E.T., which will be 8:oo central, and 6:00 p.t., emphasis on BY, so it may occure any minute, they did say that the witnesses were called in an hour ago, perhaps somewhere in the green zone.
Don't worry. It's only a toy car on YouTube. Some guy's posting tons of videos of things getting shredded in the shredders (e.g. mattresses). It's actually a pretty cool contraption and oddly innocuous looking until you see it in action.
As for what the malignant murderous monster Saddam did with it...
These people (such as they are) are completely without morals.
Thanks for the info, it can be any minute now.
Saddam better hurry and meet allah....Uday and Qusay have been there awhile, there might not be any virgins left.
Was it right ? NO.
Did it work? Yes.
