U.S. Iraq war casualties reach new milestone

[ice grillin you]

In my opinion, this is going to be a dangerous thing to do.  No doubt that, by any standards of justice, Hussein deserved execution, but this could cause a nuclear explosion of sorts in the Iraq war.

totally agree....why put more attention on sadaam...stick him in a jail cell and let him rot out of the public eye until he kicks it...everyone has pretty much forgot about him...at this point killing him looks like the US piling on and can only piss people off

Not really, IGY.  The US suggested no Death Penalty to appease the UN and UK, but it doesnt matter if that info isnt available to the people affected.  Anyway heres some international tv       http://wwitv.com/portal.htm

Of all the places to pick for an Iraqi celebration, why did CNN pick Dearborn, Michigan? 


CNN says hanging photos and video will be released soon...

Dearborn has an very large population of Iraqis who came over as refugees during the Iran/Iraq War in the 1980s.

They probably figure its one of the most densely populated areas in the United States for Iraqis and Middle Eastern people in general (I think an even larger population are Lebanese).

I've been flipping between CNN and FoxNews, and something has struck me.

CNN is focusing on the evil deeds of Hussein's rule, and has Iraq's ambassador (whether to the US or the UN I'm not sure) speaking about Hussein.

Fox is focusing on how the war is screwed up, and has two former generals speaking on how the war could be turned around (in the words of one of the generals, it's bordering on impossible).

Geo you must be drinking because i dont think thats possible

It was really weird.  If I drank at all, I'd be wondering myself.

Of course, five minutes after I posted, CNN had on one of Saddam's lawyers declaring the whole trial illegal.

So it's all good.
