Saddam Guilty

Quite convenient that, after the circus act that characterized the first few months of the trial, the judgement came so quickly, and right before the mid-terms.

I expect OBL to show up in shackles just before the '08 presidential election.

Saddam Hussein made a similar statement:

What is your point?

Thanks for stopping in......

You've actually sort of helped me with my explanation. I despise what he did and I want him punished--but in a way that exemplifies a BIG distinction in his character and the character of those who claim superiority to him.

I feel strongly that if I vote for CP, it IS me killing him. Cold blooded killing is not something I condone. Hot blooded Very Happy

is another matter entirely.

They could let me shoot him. Then after I die, on my way through purgatory, Saddam would be there with a whole army of squirrels...

New Hampshire and Washington still sanction execution by hanging. I recall one in Delaware in the 90's, but they are a lethal injection state now.

I have always thought the manner doesn't matter so much as the timing. I would like the day of execution to be random, so that the perp can die as his victims did.......one morning you wake up, and without ceremony, die.

To sanitize the situation I would merely add that it is not the USA that is doing it but W. He cheated his way into the White House with family pull and is about to destroy the democracy at home while proclaiming democracy Bush-style in Iraq and elsewhere.

Funny, I thought he was elected twice. What is it exactly in the 2000 Supreme Court decision that you disagree with? What is the part of the opinion that you consider incorrect?

The Supreme Court under Republicans!

Faux News, Clear Channel Group

Rules of debates that favor scripted responses.

all leads to Iraq mess.

Both Mr. Bush and Mr. Kerry received about half of the electoral votes. The matter was ended by a Supreme Court decision. You say that Mr. Bush "cheated his way into the White House." I then asked you what defect you found in the Supreme Court decision that ended the matter. Either their decision was correct or incorrect. If, as you allege, it was incorrect, tell me in what way. What is the defect in their legal opinion? If there was no defect, then their opinion was correct.

Brandon, the bomb makers must be paying you handsomely for shilling for W.

This is the post of a child, and it certainly provides no support for your opinions. I am neither paid, nor shilling for anyone. I support candidates who echo my opinions in cases in which they echo my opinions. I state agreement with the President most of the time because he echoes my own opinions most of the times. Big conspiracy.

Saddam Hussein, on the other hand, did have the law on his side when he murdered, tortured, and raped his fellow citizens, since he was writing the laws.

Right, I meant Gore, of course, but it was in 2000, not 2004. Also, they're called "electoral" votes.
