The spectacle of this brave Iraqi man standing up to Saddam and his henchmen in court is proof that we are winning this war.   He knows that he no longer needs to fear being fed through a plastic-shredder machine for saying such things.

It will not be long until Iraq is a shining jewel of democracy and capitalism in the Middle East, and the West will have a new friend and trading partner there.  These are such exciting times that we live in....the world is gradually becoming a better and safer place.

Evil propers when good men do nothing.

God bless a GOOD MAN, George W. Bush.

God bless the GOOD MEN of the United States Armed Forces.

I'm sure the American press will break this account of the trial over my radio any second now...

Saddam and his co-accused face the death penalty if convicted.

LOL! More like they will be executed once convicted. The day Saddam assumes room temperature will be a good day, and it cannot come soon enough.

have promised that there will be more charges brought against the former president.

Is it a good thing to keep the monster alive long enough to try him one by one for each of these things? To ponder...

With good fortune..."Saddam's half-brother and co-accused showed no such restraint. Barzan al-Tikriti leapt to his feet several times to harangue Mr Haidari, calling him "a dog" and his dead brothers "rotten dog", took place. Now not only Iraqi of all persuasions but the world can see how Saddamist where nothing more then murderouse attack dogs. Surely even the most screwed up Europeans watching this stuff will see just what kind of goons their countries supported where in control of Iraq.

That really showed them. Good tactic. I'm sure everyone was impressed.

Good on ya for this post.

Some opponents of the war bleat that we cannot oust every baddie in the whole wide world. While there is some truth in that, we got one. Thanks be to God and our President and the troops serving under him.

This story is one in a trend of steady progress that we are seeing, even if we have to search them out. The votes, the schools, the infrastructure. The President is doing what needs, nay must be done.

It's going to work. I heard an interview on Sean's show, )did not catch the guest's name, but he was military,) that there are over 200,000 Iraqi in their security forces, and the task now is training men for command. Which does not happen overnight, unlike in the fantasy world of TeeVee and movies, which seems where the critics reside.

Get them squared away, then we can talk about reduction in American forces.

What are thoughts about a permanent American presence there? Would a base or 2 be acceptable to the Iraqis? Would be good to be close by if they needed help in a hurry.
