They won't let him - he has far too much dirt and underhanded-dealings with America and the Reagan/Bush administrations.

Bush's daddy and America made Saddam the monster that he was.

Ousted leader Saddam Husayn has two years left to live as he is suffering from cancer in its advanced stage, the Kuwaiti news agency Kuna reported on 7 January, citing the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Anba.

"Doctors confirm that Saddam will die in two years' time," the paper said, quoting "a high-ranking Iraqi source". "During his visit to the country, a high-ranking Iraqi source disclosed to Al-Anba that Saddam Husayn, who is currently being held captive, is suffering from lymphoma, adding that the ailment has reached an advanced stage," the agency said.

They will have the trial within 6 months. 2 months max after the US turns over reins to the Iraqis.

Wait, are you saying we are going to turn Iraq over to the Iraqis in 4 months? If so, are the Iraqis who will be in charge those they pick or the ones we do? For this purpose, Iraqis who are picked by us picking others is the same as us picking them.

I agree, he'll be "Jack Ruby'ed". They'll give him a "Vitamin C" injection , he'll have an adverse reaction, and kick the bucket.

June/July is the targeted time frame for the Iraqi's to be self governing.

Much of this information on the turnover schedule and planned governemnt was identified/discussed when they found Saddam and were speculating how he would be tried.

Dig up some of the P&N threads from the past month on the capture and follow links that were put in by various people to articles.

That will not happen under the US watch.

How well the Iraqis protect him is another story.
If he is offed, I suspect it will be by one of his supporters to avoid the embarassement of a trial.

OK I have to agree with you there, Marty. My answer was rather short-sighted.

Of course a trial of some sort will happen, Saddam is supposedly Bush's cornerstone of his campaign.

Apparently I need to rephrase. Are YOU saying you believe it? Also, I am curious as to the nature of this "self governance" Britian did the same thing before, and it was hardly a government of the people

Actually , I think you were on target phillyTIM with your first response. Too many skeletons in Saddams closet, so they won't need a embarrassing trial. They have several other cards they can play to make Bush look good. They can pull Osama out of a hat at anytime in the future , or they can also make WMD magically appear anytime in Saddams backyard.

I believe that the US will try very hard to turn the reins of the Iraqi government over to some type of elected body. The targeted time frame is June/July.
Given the way the Iraqi resistance is acting, this is very optimistic. However, some self-governance will be in effect. The big question mark is can the Iraqi internal police force become strong & competent enough to support what ever government succeeds the coalition.

The situation is fluid, as the Iraqi infrastructure solidifies to take on control, the US will be happy to relinquish it.

The US will not be extracted from Iraq at that time and will probably act as a big brother/advisor for a few more years.
