PING!!!:

Open acts of defiance by opponents of Saddam Hussein's regime have intensified in the past week, with saboteurs carrying out attacks against Iraq's railway system and protesters openly calling for the overthrow of the Iraqi dictator.

Thanks!

This is why at the last moment he will cut a deal... for exhile abroad, in France perhaps.

[Maeve]

Bump.

"The smokey cloud obscuring Baghdad will be caused by burning pictures of Sadam !"

The first things to go will be all of those murals and statues around the city.

[cajungirl]

And the peaceniks are so worried about innocent life..where were the bastards the last ten years. More innocents have been killed by Hussein than we could possibly kill in a war. Disgusting man. If they let him go into exile I will be even more disgusted. He deserves an ignominius death.

[nicmarlo]

Iraqi oppossition is finally getting some attention!!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

This is the regime that Jacques Chirac, the most corrupt political figure in the world, thinks there is no justification for over-throwing.

...and then we blow his plane out of the sky.

[Mihalis]

Ditto....that SOB is going down and we'll be watching in the next few days.

[Chummy]

Forget arresting Saddam. He needs to lose his life during the upcoming war. I am 100% certain there will be dancing in the streets of Iraq if Saddam is killed.

Ask a Romanian what they felt like when Ceaucescu met his demise. Ask an Italian of that age what they felt like when Mussolini got his ticket punched.

Well, heck, now that I'm thinking about it, think what it felt like when Clinton no longer roamed the White House hallways.

[Barnacle]

Demonstrations were also reported to have taken place in Kirkuk, where an estimated crowd of 20,000 marched on the Ba'ath party's main administrative headquarters demanding Saddam's overthrow.

Maybe all the delaying of Bush and Blair was part of a grander plan after all.

[litany_of_lies]

Wait. Reuters told me with a straight face that Saddam go 100% of the vote. How can this be?

[Quix]

Not me.

But I might could think of a hundred reasons he shouldn't live.

Of course, one alternative might be to duct tape him nude to her nude unroyal lowness; her hideous heinous--Bwitch Shrillary.

The evil duo sort of deserve each other.

Maybe superglue instead of duct tape. No need to tarnish the duct tape.

in whatever position would be most disgusting to Shrillary.

Poetic justice could be nice.

[Robert_Paulson2]

amen... whatever it takes to wipe him out with extreme prejudice.

I don't want revenge. He just needs to be dead.

I fear the French will fly him out themselves.

[speekinout]

We deserted them once already in 1991, after what Saddam did to his opposition, the courage of these people to rise up again is truly admirable. Shame on us if we desert them again.

We won't. Bush is determined. He's bet his entire political career and legacy on this. I don't think the silly protesters are having any impact at all.
The question is when. I hope the answer is tomorrow!

[aruanan]

One senior Ba'ath official was reported killed in the attack.

One down. How many more to go?
