All this outrage against the `botched` hanging of Saddam is another flimsy attempt to put the blame on USA. Everybody knows that it`s an open Shia-Sunni conflict now. In fact, it`s the presence of USA which atleast allowed for a half decent process for Saddam`s trial. Otherwise, his fate would have been similar to that of the Afghan president

Not to disturb passionate panegyrics here for the Great Man Saddam Hussain, does anyone know the etymology of the word avadhoot?

Parthaab, in case you take a break from crying bitter buckets?

urstruly, man your paranoia knows no bounds! IQ of body temp? What units? Kelvin?
It has been reported that the americans if anything wanted to postpone the execution but Maliki wanted the execution to be an ``eid gift to the people of iraq``. His government got Sistani`s OK for the execution during religious holidays, something forbidden under iraqi law. It should warm your cockles of your heart or something to learn that religious edict won over state law.
It was not american propaganda machinery that released the video. It was a clandestine video released to online video sites which are controlled by no one. FYI, the same ``american propaganda machinery`` also shows videos of IED attacks on american soldiers in iraq.
Lastly, Pat Robertson sure knows the future. He predicted that devastating tsunami would occur in the US in 2006 and we all know what happened.

Re: # 180 soycause

There is a a litmus test. Ask yourself this question:

``From what source did I hear about Siastani`s approval for murder of Sadam on Eid day?``

hamdimd

Look, the powers that be have already started preparing people`s mind as to what is about to happen. Any idiot with an IQ equal to his body temperature knows that those who perpetrated 9/11 will strike once again to keep the current butchers in power. My personal guess is that this time they will impose Martial law in US after such attacks:

Pat Robertson Predicts Deadly Attack on U.S.

AP

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (Jan. 3) - In what has become an annual tradition of prognostications, religious broadcaster Pat Robertson said Tuesday God has told him that a terrorist attack on the United States would result in ``mass killing`` late in 2007.

Parthaab # 166, # 167

Wow! Parthaab and Shiv Sena on the same side!

Chance, conviction, or pure opportunism?

Re: # 170
Very nice Truly Sahib… Islam is being Zinda Hota in Sudan some 2000 times a day. But to be honest, Iranians wouldn’t appreciate you equating Saddam’s filthy name with that of Imam Hussein. As you will probably know that not a single word of denunciation has been said by the Iranian leadership over Saddam’s death. Shias in Iraq danced in the streets to celebrate the death of the butcher. Only some Wahabi inspired Pakis are making such a big deal over it. Kinda interesting.

Re: # 171

Please free your petty mind, and look at the big picture. The murder of Saddam Hussain through a kangroo court has nothing to do with serving justice to a cruel dictator - but it has everything to do with the symbolic gesture where an inhuman empire is sending the the signal to the world as to how the future rebellions and rebels will be dealt with. No human being with a clear and just conscience will stand this kind of bullshit - this is not medieveil times we live in. The footage of this murder was released and disseminated by American propaganda machinery deliberately to get the political milage out of it; and frankly we will not let them. They think that they can intimidate Muslims with the Nazi crap such as this but they are sadly mistaken; it only makes us more detremined to stand up against this oppression.

urstruly,

Re: # 174

Have you seen the percentage of Americans who now believe that American government was complacent in 9/11 attacks or even perpetrated it? the reason for the loss of seats in both houses by these butchers? have you ever thought how it was made possible? Have you ever pondered why Toady Blair has banned the use of the term ``war on terror`` through an official decree. All of this was not possible had we just sit silent and swallowed the goop that western propaganda machinery feeds to its own people and around the world. We had no choice but to seek the truth and keep questioning. The result is quite obvious over the five year span -

propagand machinery= 0 , truth =1.

#151 Masadi,

So the mainstream media would be happy polishing the boots but what about lulu.com.
In lululand, people will not listen to any bs. They will objectively analyse the facts. And derive intelligent conclusions. Like yours, Masadi.
