Bullet?<br /><br />I'm sure W's exhaustive Bible study has the answer.<br /><br />I know this is not a popular comment - but the idea of killing a mass murderer I can't support it. <br /><br />It doesn't seem to satisfy even a blood lust unless you could kill him hundreds of thousands of times and bring him back.<br /><br />I guess I'm a little too "New Testament" for the death penalty.David's Testhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562190338670717199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-31168087351610818552006-12-29T19:41:00.000-05:002006-12-29T19:41:00.000-05:00Actually, this whole execution-watch that's going ...Actually, this whole execution-watch that's going on is kind of ghoulish. It strikes me as the kind of thing Saddam and his henchmen would do.<br /><br />After it's over, just excise the guy's head, put it in a jar of formaldehyde, pack it in a crate and send it to George W. Bush. I'm sure The Decider would derive great satisfaction from being able to show it off to visitors down at the ranch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-43150824741974263452006-12-29T18:01:00.000-05:002006-12-29T18:01:00.000-05:00Yeah, Saddam doesn't count.

Yuck.<br /><br />I guess they want to record this for posterity's sake, to prove that the man's dead and all, but jeesh.

And, as Mr. T. noted, Saddam didn't come to nefarious prominence until the 1980s when, as I recall, St. Ronald's foreign policy/national security brain trust backed him in the war with Iran.<br /><br />As for Saddam's apparently scheduled departure, I just hope it doesn't end up costing a lot of our troops and innocent Iraqis their lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-33545492457326524572006-12-29T10:23:00.000-05:002006-12-29T10:23:00.000-05:00Pardon me OM, but I think Saddam qualifies to comp...Pardon me OM, but I think Saddam qualifies to complete the Jerry, JB, and The Third trifecta if he meets his (money)maker on Sunday.<br /><br />You should feel good about living in America when we end our long, national nightmare and <i>W</i>in <i>I</i>nvasion <i>N</i>ow.<br /><br />(This is getting exhausting.)<br /><br />Anyway, say it loud, you predicted a trifecta and you're proud.

First, he's being executed, which doesn't count. These should be surprises. Second, he's a damned dirty foreigner, and unless they're Canadians or Brits who've been integral parts of our pop culture -- say, Roger Moore? -- they don't count either.<br /><br />Still, when Saddam gets his, I'll look forward to seeing him reunited with his lover Satan. That'll be a sweet moment.Otto Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051682366565874144noreply@blogger.com
