I hope the DBM remembers all the times the trial was stalled, judges resigned and changed. It just happened to happen now.

A lot of people in Iraq have been looking forward to this day for a long time. The fact a sentence was handed down matters a lot more than when he will meet his fate in the gallows.

I am still trying to figure out how President Bush is a war criminal, when he had overwhelming congressional support to declare war.
Furthermore, didn't Pres. Clinton sign legislation authorizing this in 1998?

Nope....my bet is around Christmas; at the latest...maybe New Year's Day. Based upon what I've heard and I can't source it right now...but, the appeal has to be filed within 10 days from today. If the appeal is denied (which seems likely from what I'm understanding) then they have 30 days to carry out the sentence. So, 40 days from today, maybe?

CNN Reporter: Ten days for automatic appeal to be filed. If appeals court confirms decision, "Saddam Hussein must be hung within thirty days."WOW.
And how long does the appeals court take to make its findings???

A cable channel no one watches. I just can't wait to hear MSNBC's Keith Olbermann's rant on how Bush stole another election by arranging for Saddam to die.
