Get ready for another round of hysterical fits from the twoofers

[Sword_Of_Truth]

Saddam's gonna die. (http://news.google.com/nwshp?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&tab=wn&ncl=http://www.asianews.it/view.php%3Fl%3Den%26art%3D7668)

This should prove a veritable fountain of minable quotes (both sides can play that game) for us to show that the twoofers are all a bunch of raving nutbars. ;)

It just shows how evil Bush is. Here he is sentencing to death a man who opposed his administration.

Wow. Saddam's only crime is opposing Bush's administration? Where do you get YOUR history?

[Oliver]

No, he´s a patsy from the cia and has to
be removed. I guess he knows too much.

Also, my humour is a bit deadpan and doesn't come across well in text. Sorry about that.

[T.A.M.]

Any Truther who finds Saddam in any way a victim, is simply an evil human being, just like Saddam himself.

You do know it was the Iraqis who went through with the trial right?

[stateofgrace]

Already the fruitecakes are at it.

Saddam isn't worse than George Bush senior.
**** the United States.
**** Europe.
**** the West.

If Saddam must hang, we all must hang.


I do believe some things are wrong with this. I don't know, as I just sat and watched the end it just didn't feel right. None of this really felt like justice


You've gotta ask yourself, why would they set this date for his verdict now, at a time when the whole of Iraq is on the precipice of a civil war, this is only likly to exacerbate the situation over there, this verdict date has been totally influenced by the mid term elections in America.

Sigh.

ETA just in from the British 911 forum.

Why didn't the neocon crazies, who have engineered this permanent state of war, put their money where their mouths are/were and CHARGE Saddam with being a party to the events of 9/11? did they fear the 9/11truth might come out in court perhaps?

Now, there is a deep and meaningful understanding of international affairs.

Purely Sodom is a victim - of his own stupidity.

[PerryLogan]

May God have mercy on his soul, etc.

Saddam has brought out a few good fantasies by conspiracy buffs. My fellow Austinite Alex Jones speaks of Saddam as a faithful servant of the secret elite which (in case you need reminding) can live forever and has openly announced it intends to kill 80% of us.

(This is really what Alex Jones believes. He has said this stuff many times on his cable access TV show here in Austin. That's where I get my information from.)

Anyway, Alex is sane enough to regard Saddam as a monster--but like any good CT, he also sees him as a puppet of the New World Order, doing the Bushes' bidding. Except for his failure to put out the WMD's, I guess.

The point would be that conspiracy folks are naturally going to see Hussein as an ambivalent figure, and this may make them say things that sound unduly sympathetic toward the ex-despot. They have this "only-a-pawn-in-their-game" thing going, you see.

Here's a good one: many CTs believe there are or were various "doubles" or duplicates of Saddam. I know it sounds like a bad science fiction movie or a bad comic book.

During the period after our invasion of Iraq when Saddam was missing, Alex Jones confidently said Saddam had been taken to Cuba. No sources given, oddly enough.

[geggy]

Saddam got what he deserves for gassing his own people, but come on, think about it. Couldn't have the announcement of verdict come at a better time for the GOP in the upcoming election?

[Housefly]

Why? Saddam has been in custody for three years, during which time Bush's approval rating has dropped further and further. Unless Saddam's death will magically make all Iraqis love the West and end the war, I don't see the connection with elections.

The verdict and accompanying violence scares me. I expected a guilty verdict and death sentence but I didn't expect so much violence after the verdict came out. The verdict is good for Bush but the violence is a reminder of how out-of-control things are in Iraq and what a failure our invasion has been.

[defaultdotxbe]

if the appeals court upholds the death sentence the execution will be carried out within 30 days of the appellate ruling

if for some reason the tribunal decides to spare him, they have a whole other mass murder/crime against humanity charge lined up, lol (the current sentence is one from 1982, but there are other charges pending from 1988) if that one falls through im sure they can come up with more


It just shows how evil Bush is. Here he is sentencing to death a man who opposed his administration

i can totally see a truther saying that, completely ignoring saddams crimes, and the fact that bush had nothing to do with his trial, lol

[MG1962]

I am waiting for someone to do a Jack Ruby on him lol

[T.A.M.]

So geggy, let me get this straight:

When BUSH et al were at the beginning of their power, and had 4-8 more years left to go, they orchestrated the largest terrorist attack known, to solidify their rule through fear...but

When they are in the biggest political crisis of their reign, and face, as a party, the loss of the senate, congress, and presidency, they....they...they announce the death sentence of an already defeated leader whose countries subsequent embroilment with the US has been the cause of the GOP demise anyway.

ok...now i see the logic....NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TAM

[hellaeon]

I think its good. May he die a horrid death. Amen.

Geggy, I almost understand your point but I think the continuous civil unrest will be consistantly bad for Bush.

Regarding the OP, do any of the truthers understand what he did and why a good proportion of iraqis are celebrating?

[Polaris]

You do know it was the Iraqis who went through with the trial right?

Yeah but the Iraqi leadership is our newly installed dictatorship du jour (democratic elections conveniently ignored).

[Polaris]

The only downside of this is he won't be tried for all of his crimes, so there are things that probably won't see the light of day for the public record.

[beachnut]

They are going to try him even after he is hung.

[Polaris]

Oh ok. Not sure how that's going to work exactly but all right. My sense of history is assuaged.

[quixotecoyote]

While I think Saddam was a horrible leader, I have to say that trial by kangaroo court is a bad way for any 'justice' to be dispensed.

[uk_dave]

Yeah, but it worked pretty well for romania in 1989....they just took old ceausescu and his wife out back and ........

[maccy]

Saddam deserves to die, or at least rot in a cell for the rest of his life, but now is definetly not the time for Iraq to follow through with the death sentence. Protests and celebrations, but which do you think will be more plentiful? If protests, Iraq will spiral even more into chaos than it has recently, if celebrations, then the death toll for Iraqi's will increase until the celebrations are done, it would make the Iraqi's easy targets for Insurgents.

We'll see.

I gather the response in Iraq to the death sentence (both celebratory and antagonistic) was far more subdued than in reaction to the death of his sons. Most Iraqis seem more concerned with their every day life.
