Well, they did it

They did it. They hung Sadam. They did it in a hurry after a trial that was little more than a farce. Sadam was convicted on what was, relatively speaking, one of his least important crimes. And then he was rushed off to the gallows as fast as possible. Why do you think this happened? It would seem to me that had he been tried fairly, and tried for gassing the Kurds, as well as for his attack on Iran, it would have exposed the complicity of the United States in these various nefarious enterprises. Who stood to gain by this rush to judgment (and hanging)? Iraq? I don't think so. Sadam's death will almost surely result in more conflict between Sunnis and Shiites. World opinion? I don't think so. Most of the world will see that it was the U.S. that wanted to bring Sadam to death as soon as possible and in a way that would reveal the least about our deadly meddling in the Middle East. And no one is going to believe that Sadam's trial was held by Iraqi courts independent of U.S. interference.

After a three hour meeting at the pig farm Bush announced that he needs more time to come up with a plan. Can you believe it? He spent a whole three hours presumably working on his Iraqi disaster. I guess in his spare time he was "clearing cedar" (I read this someplace). Would someone please explain to me why he clears brush and cedar on his pig farm when he apparently doesn't raise any crops or livestock? What is the point of all this concern over the brush and trees? Of course it does make for great photo-ops.

I have to admit to being "on pins and needles" waiting for his plan for "moving forward" in Iraq. I guess after almost four years of incessant killing and war crimes it is time for some sort of plan. I bet it's going to be a real hum-dinger. I mean, after all this consultation, thought, and hard work how could it be anything less? Will it be even remotely sane? Doubtful. Will anyone, Democrats or Republicans do anything to stop it? Doubtful. Will we ever be able to overcome the military-industrial-political system that is slowly choking us to death?

In case you haven't heard, the dollar is going the way of the dodo bird. The Euro is becoming the coin of choice. The U.S. is becoming a third world country. Why are Bush/Cheney allowed to continue in office? They are far worse than Nixon ever was. Indeed, far worse than any administration in U.S. history. So where are the "good guys?" Where is the Lone Ranger now that we need him so desperately? Tarzan? Captain Marvel? Anyone? Someone? Is reality going to finally grasp us in its talons and beat us to death? Stay tuned for the further adventures of Bush/Cheney, the most evil, disgusting, incompetent, dishonest, murderous, unconscionable, and despicable U.S. politicians of all time.
