Bush Can't Run from the Hussein Death Spectacle

It is amazing that the Bush administration is now trying to distance itself from the outrageous execution of Saddam Hussein. You know the US was an accessory to the execution; more likely the moving force with the current Iraq puppet government.



Sadly for the US's global reputation, the execution video is very much like the typical terrorist killing with menacing hooded figures (unwilling to expose their identities) slitting necks, or in this case putting a noose around the victim. Again, like the terrorist assasinations, the killers here (somewhat sanctioned by some type of totally biased government) verbally accompanied the death with threats and vulgarities.

Oddly, perhaps not surprisingly, the parallels between W and Saddam are ironic. Saddam kills those opponents in Iraq who tried to assassinate him, and W uses the propped up Iraq system to kill Saddam who tried to assassinate his father. Apparently these acts of retribution are ok as long as you're in power...
