SICK SICK SICK SICK.
They covered up his torture to keep their bureau open, totally disregarding the human cost to Iraqi citizens.
Perhaps they continued to be on Saddam's payroll and now are out of pocket. What else could explain their lament for their dear friend Saddam.
LOL--- I recalled it from my youth too.....LOL.
The only ones outraged are the commmies at the UK Telegraph.
If only the pantywaists in the Pentagon had knocked off Al Sadr 3 years ago, we wouldn't have to hear that putrid doughboy's name shouted out at this hanging.
Lots of Iraqis had family murdered by Saddam. It is not that we aren't better off with Saddam dead and gone. It is the sectarian display by Sadr Brigade thugs representatives of an ambush murderer of American troops that is so unpalitable.
Sadr didn't bring Hussein to the gallows, we did.
It's hard to take something written by someone named "Tweedie" seriously.(I tawt I taw a lynching !)
You forgot Joe Barbera
If he can't take a joke, F'him!
I do note that even the most pro-Saddam stories contain some sort of disclaimer, "Yeah, he was a murderer who gassed villages and put a half million people into mass graves, but other than that he was a heckuva guy and he had rights, didn't he?" One wonders why they even try.
Happy New Year to you.
Yikes, earlier I noted that within a week this would be the media template on the execution, looks like I underestimated their ability to get together on the "facts" of the situation.
"The significance of this story is that it "fits the template". That being that Saddam's death will create more violence between the various parties in Iraq. These flames are being fanned, gently now and in full force to come.
This reminds me a bit of 9/11. The media/left, recognizing the visceral reaction of the population at large, kept quiet, even appeared to join in the "united we stand" atmosphere. But, they waited, and when sufficient time had passed, began restating history as they always do to undermine our interests while feeding the interests of our enemies.
This is the same. Dancing in the streets in Iraq ,along with general approval here, muted the media/left response. These facts will soon be replaced with "bungling by Bush in rushing Saddam execution seen as cause for civil war". Our enemies, foreign and domestic, will never stop until we are truly defeated or they are eliminated.
I predict that by the end of the week, the vast majority of "coverage" of the aftermath of saddam's execution will turn this victory by our courageous President and troops into yet another defeat at the hands of the traitors in the media and democrat party, aided and abetted by the spineless "republican leadership".
“was rushed through by the Iraqi government despite American requests for a delay.”
Speaking of outrage, Neil Tweedie is in big trouble now! He just reported that the Iraqi government isn’t complete American puppet.
Personally, I am outraged that all of these folks are outraged. Does that count?
We need some top notch translators on the job to guide us through all the details of the video of his hanging.
We can go forward and backward several times and obtain comments on the multiplicity of meanings.
I'm sure the fellows hanging Saddam were quite excited.

Apparently this author's job is to review war crimes trials and spy films. He's done an article on Milosevitch and another on the new James Bond:

They should certainly stop their outrage because you are outraged. It's only fair...
I'll second that.
