CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - The Iraqi government has told U.S. officials that former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein could be executed within the next few days, a senior Bush administration official said on Thursday.

"I've heard that it's going to be a couple more days, probably," the official said while Bush took a holiday break at his Texas ranch.
He said he had heard from U.S. officials in Baghdad that the execution would not be Thursday U.S. time or Friday Baghdad time. "It's going to be maybe another day or so," the official said.
He said the government of Iraq would most likely inform U.S. officials about the timing of the execution when it gets closer.
The U.S. official's comments were at odds with those of Iraqi officials who earlier backed away from suggestions Saddam would be hanged within a month. The officials said that the hanging would occur within 30 days only if Iraq's president issues a decree it takes place immediately, which seemed unlikely.
They could sell tickets and pay for half the national debt I bet.

Time to make the popcorn!
He won't see 2007 (what's that on the a-rab calendar, 1400AM?).
I just hope it doesn't conflict with any of the big bowl games.
Time's a wasting. The sooner the better, and judging by your moniker, it seems you would agree.

Do you think the media will show the dancing in the streets? Nope, they'll only show the "insurgent" attacks, probably in real-time via reporters embedded with the enemy. (I say kick every damn one of them out of Iraq. Let those jackals read Stars and Stripes for their news.)
Great idea!!
What's the hold up?
Oh, Perky Katie's black outfit is at the cleaners.
I'm working on a book "Saddam we hardly knew ye". Hope to have it out a few days after he swings.

I'm serious. Demon Deacs are playing on the 2nd. I don't want any "Breaking News" or discussion about what it all means. Swing baby swing & let the games begin.
Bush's fault.
I got some money for Christmas...
hurry.
Satan better be stoking the brimstone.
Some Iraqi soldier should just go to Sadaam's cell and empty a magazine into him. Be done with it.
