I do.

[demlosers]

So what is it?

[New Horizon]

Yep...ditto.

[PhiKapMom]

Personally prefer him DOA! Don't want to see a trial that would turn into a 3-ring circus!

[Dog]

Agreed.

[Hodar]

If he turns out dead; some lucky sod gets $20 Million (??)

If he turns out alive; some lucky sod gets $20 Million, his defense team will get $100 Million from the US taxpayers, his bodyguards and security will cost another $100 Million; and he'll be set free in a few years.

I like the economical solution, personally.

I could be entertaining. The French and the Euros would plead to spare his life. The Iraqis and US would want to see his head on a pike.

[RoughDobermann]

Why does it have to be one or the other? Why not both? Capture him alive, extract any useful information from him, then he's unfortunately killed while trying to escape.

[jayef]

No way we ever have a trial. This bastard dies. I want em dead. Body guards . . . dead. Doubles . . . dead. Children . . . dead. I say waste the whole entourage!

[Sacajaweau]

Dead will be fine!!

[My2Cents]

Personally, I think it's still likely Saddam is a grease spot at the bottom of a crater.

[Billthedrill]

Well, we could try "dead" first and if we didn't like that we could always go the other way...

[kaktuskid]

Or every Terrorist nutjob in the world will hijack planes and school busses to get Soddom released!

[BOBTHENAILER]

What's that Dylan line, I think from his rendition of Charlie Patton's old blues song, "High Water".

"Said to the High Sherrif, I want him dead or alive,

either one, I don't care."

JIHAD ONLINE.net: "Iraqi Resistance : English: Iraqi group says attacks not connected to Saddam
Posted by admin on Wednesday, July 30 @ 05:19:31 EDT

A group of Iraqi fighters told an Arabic channel television that assaults on American occupation forces are executed by Islamists rather than supporters of the ousted president, Saddam Hussein.

"I swear to you in the name of God that we know about all the resistance activities that carried out inside Iraq," a masked fighter have said in an interview, aired by Abu Dhabi television.


"They are all carried out in the name of Allah, none of them have any links to the former regime... All Iraqis have been harmed by the former regime," he conveyed.

"America and its allies say they have tanks, they have warplanes, they have technology. We have something stronger than all of this. We have God supporting us," he said.
Note: Old article, but we would like to emphasize on what these courageous people hade to say in theire statement."

Some of you people would never make it as television producers!

What the hell else is going to be entertaining for the next year?

His trial will be the best show since “The Odd Couple.”

An orange jumpsuit! French lawyers with Inspector Clouseau accents! Crying victims! Saddam outbursts! UN confusion! Saddam pretending to cry when they bring up Uday and Booday! Cross examinations ("...so you claim the man's head just fell off?") Street protests – both for and against! Death threats! Celebrity tirades!

It’s Saddam’s trial or another year of American Idol. I know what I’m rooting for.

[Howlin]

D-E-A-D.

[eureka!]

eureka! would prefer that the evil one suffer 400,000 painful deaths, a conservative estimate of those suffered by his victims.....
