Will the Iraqis kill Saddam? Will we let them?

1. He's probably already been sentenced to death.
Now we just have to sit back and watch a kangaroo jury make it official.

Will we let the Iraqis kill Saddam? George Bush probably won't give them any choice.

3. Shake on It
complicity: association or participation in a wrongful act

we gave him the weapons, we gave him the OK, Rumsfeld shook on it

here's an article (with picture) of Rummy shaking hands with Saddam ... maybe if Saddam gets the electric chair, Rummy would be willing to shake his hand again when they throw the switch ... partners in crime should do the same time ...

U.S. DOCUMENTS SHOW EMBRACE OF SADDAM HUSSEIN IN EARLY 1980s
DESPITE CHEMICAL WEAPONS, EXTERNAL AGGRESSION, HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES
( from The National Security Archive at George Washington University in Washington, DC )

Fear of Iraq Collapse in Iran-Iraq War Motivated Reagan Administration Support; U.S. Goals Were Access to Oil, Projection of Power, and Protection of Allies; Rumsfeld Failed to Raise Chemical Weapons Issue in Personal Meetings with Saddam

Washington, D.C., 25 February 2003-- "The National Security Archive at George Washington University today published on the Web a series of declassified U.S. documents detailing the U.S. embrace of Saddam Hussein in the early 1980's, including the renewal of diplomatic relations that had been suspended since 1967. The documents show that during this period of renewed U.S. support for Saddam, he had invaded his neighbor (Iran), had long-range nuclear aspirations that would 'probably' include 'an eventual nuclear weapon capability,' harbored known terrorists in Baghdad, abused the human rights of his citizens, and possessed and used chemical weapons on Iranians and his own people . The U.S. response was to renew ties, to provide intelligence and aid to ensure Iraq would not be defeated by Iran, and to send a high-level presidential envoy named Donald Rumsfeld to shake hands with Saddam (20 December 1983)."
