Here's the burning question I want SOMEONE to ask Bush.

So Saddam is hanged on December 29th and 2 days later the U.S. death toll reaches 3000.

President Bush, since Saddam was in custody right up til he was hanged and since Saddam was hanged on a Muslim holiday that any Muslim would have known was a bad day to hang Saddam, DIDN"T THE U.S. DECIDE TO HANG SADDAM ON THAT PARTICULAR DATE TO TAKE ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE 3000TH DEATH AND DIDN'T HANGING HIM ON A MUSLIM HOLIDAY PROMOTE VIOLENCE AGAINST OUR TROOPS?

Thats the question they should have asked him on 60 Minutes last night.

Because, you know, we didn't hand him over to the Iraqis or anything. Nope, only us there. :roll:

Bush must have picked that date out himself.
 
As much as I want to be on your side Techs, especially because it means I would be not on the side of Genx87 and Jaskalas, the Iraqis are who tried him and chose the date.
 
we actually tried to delay the execution.


but nutjobs on the left, Techs, are the same as those on the right, trying to bring two individual occurences together by any means possible. Whats next? Accuse a president of being bad when he fires missiles? Been there, done that.

I thought this was the case as well.

Actually we asked them to postpone and they refused. Can't blame Bush for that one.
 
Come on. Do you really think the Iraqis chose a RELIGIOUS holiday to execute Saddam? One that outraged both Sunni and Shia alike?

Yeah...that's it...that's the ticket. :roll:

It's obvious that you do don't like Bush, but your post is very telling about you and many other Bush haters who take a perverse joy in denigrating our President. When you hate to such an extent that you imagine or twist facts to justify your hatred, you do a disservice to yourself and your cause. You sacrifice your ability to think rationally when you choose to hate so passionally. Sad.

And where is the proof that it outrages the Shia?

Or are you joining the tin foil crowd now?

 
Meh, it's as fair as saying Clinton was 'wagging the dog' when he tried to take out Osama during the Lewinski scandal. I think this is just a parody on that embarrassing incident in American politics.

Do some reading, they chose this date, we asked them to postpone and they refused.

While it makes us look bad by proxy we really didn't have any control over the execution, how or when it went down.
 
Do the facts really matter in this case----if the Iraqi people decide to blame the USA for the hanging of Saddam, an emotion is as valid as a fact---and its emotions that drive us. We just use the facts to justify it later.

But news update---the half brother of Saddam and the chief justice of Saddam's revolutionary court that were supposed to be hanged with Saddam finally got hung yesterday.

Saddam's half brother I can understand---but I really wonder how it sat with the current Iraqi judges to sit in judgment of a fellow judge---knowing full well that they may someday find themselves in the situation of the judge they hung if the current government gets replaced with something else?

I don't think the date upset as many Shia as it did the Sunni. I may be wrong but I think Sunni start Eid a day earlier. So the date would be more of a slap against the Sunni and further provoke the civil war.
Now that they have executed the other two and bungled them also it looks pretty bad

 
This is a peek into how the Arab world viewed his quick execution

It was not the Iraqi government but its American masters that chose to execute Saddam Hussein in a great rush as soon as the first sentence was confirmed, thus canceling all the other trials on far graver charges that awaited him. The current Iraqi government had nothing to hide if those trials went ahead; the United States government did.

Saddam Hussein Hanged for the Wrong Reason

that's not accurate... It was the first day of Eid for Sunni's, but not for Shi'ites... That is one reason the Shi'ite leaders in Iraq chose that date! It was a slap in the the Sunnis' faces.

We (the US) did not pick the date, and our advisers asked the Iraqis to delay the hanging.

you're lost Techs... truly lost. you'd probably blame Bush for your own bloody stool!

 
We could drop SHOCK AND AWE.. but didn't havve the balls to delay the execution....more fck ups..

Over here in North America (well, Toronto anyways), Sunni Muslims celebrated Eid on December 31st. I think the Shiites did it on the 30th, but am unsure.

In Iraq, Eid began one day sooner for Sunnis than for Shiites.
