U.S. 'tried to delay' execution. (Why do I think that's a load of crap)

[rpannier]

It never ceases to amaze me, when something blows up in their faces they automatically deflect blame elsewhere.

Here's the (b*llsh*t) cnn coverage:

U.S. officials reportedly tried to delay last week's execution of Saddam Hussein, fearing it would fuel perceptions the death of the former Iraqi dictator was more about Shiite retribution and less about justice. Those fears seemed borne out by an amateur recording of Hussein's last moments.

1. because it IS a load of crap

that "other" video - from the cell phone - was never supposed to happen, and now the powers that be in Washington are stuck trying to explain why Saddam was much more dignified than the thugs who executed him

[malaise]

2. Maliki and Bush can spin away

Everyone who wanted to see their deeds knows what they did. The US handed Saddam to their puppets. The barbarity of their deed has finally sunk in so they will spin away.

4. This administration was concerned about public perception?

Ha! Since when? The entire sick episode has Bush**'s impatient little thuggish fingerprints all over it.

5. i wonder if the bush crime family in their daily reading of the bible have read the following:

Isaiah Chapter 5 - 20:21

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who change darkness into light, and light into darkness, who change bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter! Woe to those are wise in their own sight, and prudent in their esteem!"

from poppy who wants the world to believe he is the world's noblest, most gifted, most talented, most compassionate patrician--not! to their (and here i mean all of the bushes from poppy, to mommy, to sonny, to bubba jeb and all the rest, including doro) penchant for turning light into darkness (spreading muck and lies about political opponents from the lies pooppy spread about michael dukakis in 1988, to their vile treatment of clinton from 1992 to 2000, to the lies about weapons of mass destruction, to jeb's act of running to some impoverished neighborhood to pose with needy families in his campaigns and then wiping out programs which may have helped them after he was elected, to the many more instances of lies, deceptions, manipulations, and crimes which permeates their family shield ....) they are all masters at precisely, calling evil good and good evil, changing darkness into light and light into darkness , changing bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter ... and who on this earth can tell anyone of these bushes that they are plain evil and plain wrong? i wonder!

6. IMHO I could almost believe Rove wanted the hanging

delayed. Rove would be looking for the biggest poll bounce. And coming just before New Year will not give * any IMHO.

7. Why of course, now that the second batch of roses wasn't delivered

They are backpedaling, big time.

8. I have not problem believing that the mid level Americans on the ground opposed this.

I think they were overruled by the White House who wanted Saddam dead sooner rather than later.

9. Why do you think it's a pant load?

Mmmm, let's see. If you've been lied to 999 times and if you have a triple digit IQ, you probably expect to be lied to again.

10. They think that they whole world is made up of a bunch of

idiots who haven't caught on to them yet, don't they?

11. I heard that too and my first thought was...fuckin liars.

12. This was THE front page headline of the Jan 1st Oregonian

I thought to myself- New year, more of the same whoring, running cover and apologizing for far right failures. I don't even pick up that paper when I see it lying there on the train.

The reason that you think it's a load of crap is because it very likely IS a load of crap- and it's consistent with the loads of crap and outright lies (false statements of fact) that have been dumped on us since 1999, when Bush first started running for President.

If the US didn't want him executed on the eve of a holiday- then he wouldn't have been. Plain and simple.
