#1 Sorry, Ivan, your old buddy's gonna swing, and deservedly so. Saddam supporters and the more numerous rejectionist Sunnis in Iraq, obviously, require a dialogue involving lots of firepower and breaking of wills. Saddam's demise won't much distract them - they're quite busy organizing, abetting, and/or countenancing horrific terrorism against their compatriots to help protect them from justice or even grab a portion of the ring back from an elected government.

#2 The Russkies really don't have many ideological allies - who also have money, lol.

#7 Nice .jpg. It would be nice to see a side-by-side of Saddam as Saladin II with a photo of the bearded rat being pulled out of his hidey-hole.

#8 If somehow Saddam were to escape the noose, wonder where he'd end up? A cozy little dacha in Russia? Won't he just be the wonderful new poster boy for enterprenneurial success in the weapons market of Russia.

#11 State Duma must have talked to "accounts recievable" about who signed the PO's on those "seriously past due" invoices for the GPS jammers.

#12 Destailize it further by removing the very last hopes that Saddam will be restored to power. A last desperate gasp by the Baathists and Saddamist Sunnis. And maybe even some Shia will finally feel they can step back now that their bete noir is swinging at the end of a rope.
