Fatah objected to the execution of Saddam. From their own actions they seem to think assasination, torture, and kidnapping are OK, and they are not particularly partial, since they even do it to their own people. A curious set of standards, wouldn't you say?
By the way, where was Fatah when Saddam was massacring Kurds and Shiites? Where was Fatah when Saddam was conducting war against Iran? Boy, they really stood for Islamic unity, didn't they? I;ll bet those Palestinian prisoners really objected to that, huh?
They were taking money from him for their own interests. I'm sure glad Fatah isn't my friend.
Honestly, does anyone buy into this nonsense?
Now... that Hussein has been hanged for (149)... may G. Bush follow... for 57.000 murdered iraquis, after the american invasion under false pretences.
actually, it should have been both cheney and rumsfeld who should have hung with saddam ... as for bush, he's just too stupid to even know what's really going on ... somebody has to remain the village idiot
Interesting that people forget the United States backed Saddam during the Iran/Iraq war, often looking the other way while he wrecked havoc. How do we know Saddam has WMD's?? We have the receipts.
THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE
Once upon a time, in the deep jungle, lived a Lion and a Monkey... One day the Monkey, tired of the Lion always taking the LION'S SHARE, and seeing that such injustice represented a danger to all, demanded JUSTICE... The Lion, yawning and stretching, said, 'You would have to have paws and sharp teeth...' Then the Monkey, who was very clever, devised a plan: He would go to the costume store, and look like a lion...
When the HUNGRY LION saw him, noticing that the new lion wasn't a match for him, and fearing COMPETITION, killed him on the spot --before the indifferent look of the little animals of the jungle... And that's how the Law of the Jungle was re-established one more time... (NOTE: Other monkeys survived him...)
NOTE: The big lion ate the little lion. Competition not alowed, to be expected.
WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE

Due to past subtafuge, would someone from America, England, Russia, And china please veriy that that realy is the dead body of Saddam. With no one else but the Iraq's in the room when he was hung, I would like to verify that it is really him and not another victem of his followers.
A helpless and pathetic Saddam, growing old in prison would have been powerless. A dead Saddam, hanged by an inept government may well have power. What is sad is that those who killed Saddam may well be in the process of condoning, if not actually orchestrating behaviors exactly like those for which he was executed. The only way to control the factions in Iraq is through the brutal exertion of power. We have simply replaced a Sunni dictator with a Shiite dictatorship. The idea of democracy in Iraq is a joke.
Do you have to explode a suitcase nuke before these liberals will take terrorists seriously? We had 8 years of doing nothing and look what it brought us, a build up by al queda and 911 and a war, Thanks Democrats for ignoring things so you could run up the stock market.Then blame it on Bush. Remember Global warming precedes global cooling.
Totally agreed, it is too small you can get from retard
Iraq has been given a chance to start over. The people can make their own future as oposed to the murderous rule of Saddam. It is a shame that so many people are being killed in Iraq, the vast majority are being killed by their own countrymen of the same religious background - not Americans. At least we gave them an opportunity to live in peace... maybe after Saddam they just don't know how.
To all of you that want to see Bush hang, why? Are Iraqis not good enough to experience freedom? Is that just a western idea? Are they too stupid to appreciate freedom? Of course not, shame on you.
Bush, his military forces and the iraq imposed government has succeeded in hanging Saddam, based on their judgemet but they should be remainded that the Judgement of Allah is awaiting all of them in the heaven. Bush pls don't forget that your own time will must surely come no matter how long you live you must test the bitterness of death, therefore you are remaided!!!
Yes Carl.... the 57.000 iraquis are free now...
By the way... what about the Guantanamo prisoners (including the tortured and murdered by Rumsfeld) plus all the unknown others spread all over the world under 'american custody'? Huh?
...the United States had the power to take out Saddam Hussein, with a Lazar Guided Bomb, but chose to use 3000 of it's military...daaaa!
...oh ya, and add to it the 500,000 civilian Iraq lives the US included in it's genocide cleansing...double daaaa!
Besides the 149 killed by Suddham,180,000 Kurds were killed under Saddham's rule. Graves are found all the time of murdered Iraqi's. The Iraqi man who testified at the trial of Saddham lost his brothers, 22 cousins, and however many more under the rule of Saddham. But G. Bush is stupid? We have had one (1) invasion on American soil, The New York Trade Center. And none since. But G. Bush is stupid?
G. Bush is human just like you and I. He is not perfect. He has not done everything the way I would, or for that matter, the way you would have handled things. In the same vain, I have not heard a single person come up with a plan of just how they would have done anything differently. Instead of criticizing, come up with a plan. I get so tired of hearing people criticize without saying what they would do differently!
well next is g.w.bush, he has killed more iraqi's than saddam has in his life time, its a fact that no one can deny. saddam 'stopped killing people' the day bush attacked iraq, but that was the starting day for bush, n he's still continuing. feel so sorry for the iraqi's.
... excuse MEEEEEEEEEEE common sense. I don't torture people like YOUR president does. Therefore please don't you DARE compare me to him. And yes - I AM human!!! (Contrary to him ana apparently to you).
When these Islamic Extremist Terrorists explode a nuke in the US, are you still gonna stand there and blame our serviceman and G.bush, What does it take for you people to wake up and realize these people want to kill you. Lets see, we can kill people on a battlefield but if we take them to a war camp it is torture? Abu grade and Gitmo are resorts, what do these extremists do with you when you are captured, Thanks Bill for creating this mess.
In Iraq all sorts of killing have been shown! goodmen, bad men, or the mixed are all suffered in death!
Wishing ssome day no more killing in Iraq will show up and all Iraqis will have a good day in their long time waiting for!
No countries in this world has suffered so much like Iraq!
Hatred is a greatest poison has been sown in Iraq for too long!
Until the day all iraqis will realize that hatred and mistrust given to each other are not benefitted tothem then they might come together and stop killing each other and peace may come back to them!
Iraq is sunk in hatred and the fire of hell kills them more and more everyday!
Oh poor this nation!
No one in this world can stop the Iraqis kill each other! only themselves!
al-Qaida brings death to all Arabs no matter who they are! hatred breeds killing and it turns out more suicidal killers show up in crazy fashion in all corners of the crazy world!

It's funny to hear those in hear almost defend Saddam and compare G. Bush to him. If he was anything like Saddam you would have been executed already for what you have said. The previous 8 years up to 9/11 we did nothing but ignore Iraq and Al qaeda and what did it get us? It got us attacked by Al qaeda! We can no longer ignore the problems in the middle east. History shows that as well.
