An Iraqi judge has rejected Saddam Hussein’s appeal and ruled that the cruel dictator must hang within 30 days and hundreds of Iraqis want to pull the gallows lever. There is no official job of “hangman” in Iraq, and an adviser to Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki says the government has not officially advertised for the job. The executioner, moreover, will remain anonymous because Saddam’s execution could inflame tensions in a country where people die every day in sectarian violence. But hundreds of Iraqis have inquired about the hangman’s job. The adviser, Bassam al-Husseiny, told the US network ABC News that

Hussein is facing charges of genocide in connection with the deaths of 50,000 Kurds in a campaign that ultimately killed 180,000 Kurds in the 1980s. Shot in April 1987 and May 1988, the videotape shows attack helicopters flying low over the mountains as villagers scatter. Women cluster near tents, crying as white smoke gathers. The aftermath of the chemical attacks was seen in videotape that showed bodies frozen in death.

But in lumping the Iraq mess in with the Palestinian problem – and suggesting the first could not be fixed unless the second was too – the Baker-Hamilton commission lent credibility to a corrosive myth: that the fundamental problem in the Arab world is the plight of the Palestinians. It is a falsehood perpetuated not just by the likes of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, who came late to the slogan after their actual

The U.S. Iraq Study Group report said “funding for the Sunni insurgency comes from private individuals within Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states.” Several truck drivers interviewed by the Associated Press described carrying boxes of cash from Saudi Arabia into Iraq, money they said was headed for insurgents. Overall, the Iraqi officials said, money has been pouring into Iraq from Saudi Arabia, a Sunni bastion, since the fall

Now, this arrogant, smug, elite, married-for-money parasite is insisting that his “botched joke” about President Bush’s Iraq policy would not undermine a possible White House campaign in 2008. “Not in the least,” Kerry, said when asked if the furor over his comment had caused him to reconsider a 2008 race. “The parlor game of who’s up, who’s down, today or tomorrow, if I listened to that stuff, I would never have won the nomination.” I wish Kerry would not have listened when he was taught
