BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq's prime minister on Saturday urged his countrymen to accept the impending verdict against Saddam Hussein without violence, then in the next breath declared the former dictator must get "what he deserves" with the decision that could send him to the gallows.
bttt
Betty Dawisha has words for anyone who is crying for pullout in Iraq....they need to see her video on YouToob or check my profile page....she's at the bottom.

Everyone who has dealings with Clark uses the word "nice" to describe him. But he often sides with people whom no one with a full deck would call nice. (Clark did not respond to a Salon News interview request.) Many former friends, more in sorrow than in anger, trace his present positions to the company he keeps: the International Action Center, which proclaims him its founder but seems entirely in the thrall of an obscure Trotskyist sect, the Workers World Party. Whoever writes his scripts, there is little doubt what Ramsey Clark is against now -- any manifestation of the power of the state he once served at the height of the Vietnam War.
At the end of 1998 Clark attended a human rights conference in Baghdad, Iraq, where in his keynote speech he pointed out how "the governments of the rich nations, primarily the United States, England and France," dominated the wording of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which showed "little concern for economic, social and cultural rights."

I think I see a tear in Ramsey's eye.
Are they complaining about Clarke being thrown out of the court?
I just *knew* ...
That you ...
Would use the red, white and blue ...
WOOHOO!
Ramsey Clark should be ashamed, but of course he's not.
I hope to wake up to news coverage of Iraqis celebrating in the streets. G'Night all!
Saddam Hussein was an inhuman psychopath and its not for nothing he earned the sobriquet "The Butcher Of Baghdad." In all likelihood his death compared to how he executed all his victims, will be a humane affair.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
Guilty verdicts for Saddam co-accused
From correspondents in Baghdad

THE verdict hearing of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein is underway in Baghdad with three of his co-accused found guilty of murder and torture and sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Saddam Hussein deputy and former vice president Taha Yassin Ramadan was sentenced to life in prison as verdicts were issued in the deposed Iraqi leader's trial for crimes against humanity.
A former Baath Party official, Mohammed Azawi Ali, was acquitted and immediately freed for lack of evidence.
It is most fitting that he should be hanged like a common criminal. After all, that's all he is; a common criminal.

Only the loons would be upset at this verdict
Cann't wait to hear what the Dem Leaders have to say ...
"US to withdraw from Iraq, apologize, and reinstate Saddam as dictator."
Sure - it's an open secret that DU has been infiltrated by Mohammedans.
The DUmmy consensus seems to be that 1) Poor Saddam didn't get a fair trial, and 2) George W. Bush is a worse war criminal. Frickin' scum.
Thanks for the info
Good night, REDWOOD99!
Sleep well and happy!
