Saddam's Former Deputy Hanged in Iraq
By QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA
Associated Press Writer
BAGHDAD (AP) -- Saddam Hussein's former deputy was hanged before dawn Tuesday for the killings of 148 Shiites, an official with the prime minister's office said.
Taha Yassin Ramadan, who was Saddam's vice president when the regime was ousted four years ago, was the fourth man to be executed in the killings of 148 Shiites following a 1982 assassination attempt against the former leader in the city of Dujail.
The official, who witnessed the hanging but spoke on condition of anonymity because an official announcement had not been made, said precautions had been taken to prevent a repeat of what happened to Saddam's half brother Barzan Ibrahim, who was decapitated on the gallows.

Baghdad Bob has issued a statement saying Saddam is coming back and there are no Americans in Iraq!

They really are getting better at this. All they need is practice. Lots and lots of practice.
If Mookie lays off the Twinkies he's due for about a 5-foot drop. IMHO.

Not soon enough, but the wheels of justice are turning, and he's almost at the end of his rope.

No man is an island and every life is but a candle waiting to be snuffed by the wind. He may have been our enemy but something still should be said in his memory.
How about this?
Dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me.

They hanged him on the anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. This is symbolic - a reminder of who is in charge.

I don't know what happened to Baghdad Bob. Last I heard from him was when he said the Americans were "running like scared dogs". The guy was a crack up to listen to with his wierd voice and body language.

The only good that will come out of this monster's life is the fertilizer he'll be providing to the plants and grass above his grave.
