Recently I came across some stupid people who were rejoicing over the news of which Saddam Hussien to be sentenced to death.

“Shoot him one leg at a time, then each arm, then in the groin, and then in the arse and then in the head. Give it 20m…

GooooOOOOOOO, NOOSE!

…and sentenced to hang.BAGHDAD, Iraq – Iraq’s High Tribunal on Sunday found Saddam Hussein guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced him to hang for the 1982 killing of 148 Shiites in the city of Dujail. The visibly shaken former…

Even tho I do agree, that this was going to be the verdict all along, and everyone knew it. It also should be the verdict. Not a single rational person here would say we need to keep Hitler alive, and this man was just as horrible. I am glad this trial is over. It has gone on for too long. I just hope the sentence for this conviction will be finished in a much quicker fashion. Somewhere around Monday 6am our time would be good with me. – Lorica

And he still might be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“He’s nothing but a low-down, double-dealing, backstabbing, larcenous perverted worm! Hanging’s too good for him. Burning’s too good for him! He should be torn into little bitty pieces and buried alive!”

Vanity Fair has rushed to publish a few sound bites from a lengthy discussion with David Rose. Concerned that anything I might say could be used to influence the public debate on Iraq just prior to Tuesday’s election, I had been promised that my remarks would not be published before the election.

I should have known better than to trust the editors at Vanity Fair who lied to me and to others who spoke with Mr. Rose. Moreover, in condensing and characterizing my views for their own partisan political purposes, they have distorted my opinion about the situation in Iraq and what I believe to be in the best interest of our country.

I believe it would be a catastrophic mistake to leave Iraq, as some are demanding, before the Iraqis are able to defend their elected government. As I told Mr. Rose, the terrorist threat to our country, which is real, would be made much worse if we were to make an ignominious withdrawal from Iraq.

David Frum:

There has been a lot of talk this season about deceptive campaign ads, but the most dishonest document I have seen is this press release from Vanity Fair, highlighted on the Drudge Report . Headlined “Now They Tell Us” it purports to offer an “exclusive” access to “remorseful” former supporters of the Iraq war who will now “play the blame game” with “shocking frankness.” … My most fundamental views on the war in Iraq remain as they were in 2003: The war was right, victory is essential, and defeat would be calamitous.

And that to my knowledge is the view of everybody quoted in the release and the piece: Adelman, Cohen, Ledeen, Perle, Pletka, Rubin, and all the others

Vanity Fair should apologize and issue a deep and lengthy correction. Employees should be fired for failing to be truthful with the public.

It is about time leftists learn how to debate ideas and solutions instead of resorting to what they’ve generally done on almost every issue… lie, libel, inaccurately accuse, falsely charge, etc.

If you don’t have any ideas then just say so. But to continue your behavior liberals is pathetic. You don’t convince anyone who reads enough. But you do convince people who don’t read enough. Does that make you proud? Are you propagandists proud of yourselves?

No matter what you think of the war, the verdict is a triumph for humanity and the Iraqi people. A mass murderer has been brought to justice.
