Saddam dead

The puppet regime in Iraq has given the bush his revenge on “the guy who tried to kill his daddy.” Another “milestone”.

[…]
‘Saddam Hussein’s execution comes at the end of a difficult year for the Iraqi people and for our troops,’ Bush said in a statement released as he prepared to usher in 2007 at his Texas ranch.
[…]
‘Bringing Saddam Hussein to justice will not end the violence in Iraq, but it is an important milestone on Iraq’s course to becoming a democracy that can govern, sustain, and defend itself, and be an ally in the war on terror,’ he said.

And so, Saddam Hussein is dead. I read that TV executives are planning tasteful coverage of the event. And after that we can slip into mourning and rending clothes for president ford. There certainly is a wide choice of ‘tasteful’ fare to entertain ourselves this New Year’s weekend.

And still, the carnage continues.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
