“The Americans want him to be hanged respectfully,” one of Hussein’s attorneys points out, according to AP, apparently without even a hint of irony.
The oxymoron aside, for our part we don’t have much to say about all of this, other than how brutally disgusting it is, how Osama still runs free, how well more than the number of Americans killed on 9/11 have now been killed in Bush’s appalling revenge plot on behalf of his father, and how neither Americans in general, nor certainly the troops on the ground, are any safer due to Bush’s appalling failure as a U.S. “President.”
Iraq War veteran Jon Soltz, co-founder of VoteVets.org, an advocacy group representing vets of both the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, issued this statement earlier today:
For George W. Bush, however, who lives in the safe confines of his well protected mobile bunker, his presiding over this barbaric ending to the life of a barbaric man is ultimately just another shameful chapter in an already tragic-beyond-description tale.
Congratulations and Happy New Year, Mr. Bush. You got your man.
UPDATE 7:50pm PT: The deed is done. Good luck washing all of that blood off your hands, Mr. Bush. Only you could turn a despicable man like Hussein into a martyr. By year’s end, in a few hours, the 3000 mark may be passed for dead U.S. troops in your war. Though, as Baghdad Burning points out so movingly today, 3000 Iraqis are lost in an average month. So I guess it’s no biggie. You’ve had quite the reign, sir.

Isn’t it interesting that everyone has forgotten Bush was suppose to be after Osama? Or that Bush himself said Osama was not important anymore about 6 months ago.
These people who follow Bush for whatever reason, money, fear, just wanting a “daddy” to take care of them. do you think they sleep well at night? Having the blood of our young men and women on their hands?
Oh, that’s right, they are “supporting” the troops with the $5.00 plastic ribbon on their Lexus.
How come none of the Young Republicans are entering the military instead of college or having parties in Nevada?
It is an old story, let others do the dying for me, because I have other priorities. per Cheney with 5 defferements, the AWOL President Bush.
Hi TexasLady! The Dick “had other priorities” at the time, so he says
