This was written before a Catholic cardinal checked in with his concerns about the Gutless Wonder's fate.

Too bad Jesse Jackson is still on the loose.

All these groups screaming for justice, were silent when Saddam was killing his own. Silent.

Sure, he’s urged young men to go contentedly to their deaths in his name. He’s rewarded the families of suicide bombers with $25,000 a blast.

I am more than happy knowing that these families will now not get a cent...

Or that he was raised in a dysfunctional family and consequently isn’t responsible for anything he’s ever done.

Believe it or not, Human Rights Watch appears to be asserting this very thing.

The news media must be as worried as France and Chirac.

After all CNN paid for the privilege of turning its head to Saddam's atrocities. Saddam will be able to tell about the sweetheart deals he made with the other alphabet networks in purchasing their silence.

In Saddam's world it probably made sense for the networks to witness an offing as part of any deal so as to assure their silence. Those tapes probably exist.

Can you imagine? ABC witnesses a murder and also pays extortion rates so they can have cameras at the Baghdad Hilton.

And...we already have leading Democratic presidential candidates talking about how Saddam is getting free healtcare, while millions of Americans are suffering. So which is...are we brutallizing this tyrant, or is he getting better care than most Americans? His so-called dental checkup was a search for cyanide...and since lice are very contagious, it only makes sense to rid him of these creatures since he is going to be in close proximity to US soldiers. It is amazing to me the contortions and distortions that the media-crats will go through to tar a victorious occassion. I've never seen anything like this.

"Give Hussein a fair trial and then kill him."

I disagree. Why isn't he dead already? Do we really need a circus...? I say either accidentally toss him out of an airplane over the Persian gulf or stick him in Guantanamo never to be heard from again.

I say broadcast all over I Iraq where's he going to be then tell him he's going to be set free. Tell him he'll be taken to the town square and told "You're free to go." Let the people have him. They'd tear him limb from limb. I also bet he'd start singing like a canary, too. He knows he'll be treated well by the U.S. He knows he'll get ripped to shreds and stomped in the face with dirty shoes by his own people. So, let's do what the libs and the UN wants us to do. Let's set him free.

Agreed on the town square bit, but I think he needs a "Mussollini Moment" instead.
I remember the Life Magazine pictures of that from my youth.

Me, too, old feller. I like the idea of a Mussolini Moment for these despots. Serves them right and gives the folks a chance to really get back at them.

Hopefully the next election will be enough of a blowout that it sends these leftist vermin packing for France and Canada, before it ends up spilling into the streets.

Cheers are still happening. I nearly fainted this morning watching an NBC very early morning news show. A reporterette was in Seattle area and she said that she was so wonderfully thrilled to be able to be in an area where there were many Iraqi's. She said they were so happy, cheering, Thanking President Bush, thanking the military, crying, saying they loved the President etc.

She nearly cried reporting it! She most likely lost her job at NBC station immediately following her report! :-)

Capture was a huge mistake. Wait unitl the trial starts! The sobbing and pro-Saddam tears will raise sea levels 6 inches.

I was listening to the John Gambling show (precedes Rush on WABC in NY, and this rabid lib starts blasting Bush for not getting the real enemy (UBL) yet. Gambling is way too nice, and didn't throw the obvious retort back at him - "HOW WOULD YOU GET HIM? WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENLY"?

This question should be posed to each and every moron who brings up UBL.
