Despite The New York Times’ protests that it’s all been too rushed

Soooooooo, we've been in Iraq to long, but we were too rushed with Saddam?

The NY TIMES IS A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE

Thank goodness we took care of this madman before he caused the kind of damage that Hitler did.

Saddam died a coward's death. He never should have allowed himself to be taken alive. Even his psyhco sons at least died like warriors.

Frankly, I can't help thinking that what I fondly think of as the Coucesceau model of regime change would have been well employed here. Saddam would already have been a well-composted memory.

What will/has become of Saddam's body double? I see him frequently in clips of Saddam

He's the one w/o the 2 birthmarks on his left cheek. A stint on SNL, maybe?

My idea was to release him, after informing the Iraqis just where and when he was going to be released.
Leave him to the tender mercies of those he "cared for".

I think he is lucky he didn't end up like Mussolini, handing upside down in front of a gas station.

Amidst the Steyn-isms, we find this gem:

"There can never be “justice” for murderous dictators – there’s simply too much blood. But there can be retribution, and a final line drawn under a dark chapter of history as he’s shovelled into his grave."

Amen.

If al-Reuters can be believed, Saddam was supposedly executed in one of his own torture chambers (that according to one of the Yahoo/Reuters photo captions, most of which consist of mourning Palis and rampaging Indian Muslims, performing on cue for the camera).

Sweet irony, if true.

Just in time for Eid, the Iraqis decided Saddam Hussein was one old acquaintance who really should be forgot.

leave it to Mark!
