Neck Stretcher
So, Saddam is getting his neck stretched, like, real soon.

I totally agree with this post by Josh Marshall. The entire Iraq adventure has been a sham from day one. Murdering Hussein is just another act of fig-leafdom and revenge after a sham trial of selected charges. The complicity of the United States in what was Saddam Hussein is clear but Bush successfully kept it out of the media during Saddam's trial. The hanging is, as Marshall's points out, an act of a waning power and an act of weakness.
