Saddam Hussein Transferred to Iraqi Custody; Judge Says He'll Be Executed by Saturday

The Butcher of Baghdad will be dead by tomorrow.

EXCELLENT!

Hang this son of a bitch from the highest tree you can find, he was a murderer, rapist, waste of protoplasm of a human being. He had execution squads roaming the streets for people who opposed him, his sons picked women off the street to rape. Oh, by the way we got them too in a fire fight.

And for you idiot libs out there, this is how JUSTICE is served. NOT NEGOTIATING, he is a terrorist, he supported terrorism, he does not negotiate. period.

Now the world is a safer place because of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA......AGAIN!

Maybe the next terrorist that comes along will think twice about conspiring to kill Americans.

My only regret is I'm not pulling the lever.

HANG YOU BASTARD, AND TWIST IN THE WIND.

HANG LINK

(PS: this should be the penalty for ALL child molesters and rapists as well.)

For the soldiers - twas the night before christmas

T'WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,HE LIVED ALL ALONE,IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OFPLASTER AND STONE.

I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEYWITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,AND TO SEE JUST WHOIN THIS HOME DID LIVE.LOOKED ALL ABOUT,A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,NOT EVEN A TREE.

NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURESOF FAR DISTANT LANDS.

WITH MEDALS AND BADGES,AWARDS OF ALL KINDS,A SOBER THOUGHTCAME THROUGH MY MIND.

FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT,IT WAS DARK AND DREARY,I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER,ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.

THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING,SILENT, ALONE,CURLED UP ON THE FLOORIN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.

THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE,THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER,NOT HOW I PICTURED A UNITED STATES SOLDIER.

WAS THIS THE HERO OF WHOM I'D JUST READ?

CURLED UP ON A PONCHO,THE FLOOR FOR A BED?

I REALIZED THE FAMILIES THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT,OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT.

SOON ROUND THE WORLD,THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY,AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY.

THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR, BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS,LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.

I COULDN'T HELP WONDER HOW MANY LAY ALONE,ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.

THE VERY THOUGHT BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE,I DROPPED TO MY KNEES AND STARTED TO CRY.

THE SOLDIER AWAKENED AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE,

"SANTA DON'T CRY,THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE;I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,I DON'T ASK FOR MORE,MY LIFE IS MY GOD,MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS."

THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP,I COULDN'T CONTROL IT,I CONTINUED TO WEEP.

I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS,SO SILENT AND STILL AND WE BOTH SHIVERED FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL.

I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVEON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT,THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR SO WILLING TO FIGHT.

THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE,WHISPERED, "CARRY ON SANTA,IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE."

ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH,AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT."MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND,AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT."

Pastor with some cahonees!!

This Pastor has guts!! Thought you might enjoy this interesting
Prayer given in Kansas at the opening session of their Senate. It seems
prayer still upsets some people. When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open
the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the
usual generalities, but....this is what they heard:

"Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness
and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, "Woe to
Those who call evil good"... but that is exactly what we have done. We
have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it
building self esteem.
We have abused power and called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it
freedom of expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and
called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from
every sin and set us free. Amen!"
The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during
the prayer in protest. In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church,
where Rev Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls
with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving
international requests for copies of this prayer from India, Africa and Korea.
Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, "The
Rest of the Story," and received a larger response to this program
than any other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer
sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again
can be called "one nation Under God."

Thanks to my good buddy and softball player extrodanaire, Tanker!

PEARL HARBOR DAY DEC. 7TH!

DID YOU KNOW?

The Japanese military cabinet had convinced itself that Americans had “no stomach” for fighting, but Yamamoto (The Japanese Admiral that led the attack) wasn’t so sure.

"Once the American war machine was up and running, he said, it would be akin to “waking the sleeping giant.” Japan’s only chance for a positive outcome was to strike hard at Pearl Harbor and at as many targets as possible, and hope Washington would contact Tokyo to sue for peace.

Obviously that didn't happen, and obviously Admiral Yamamoto was right about the American war machine, after living and studying here, he knew what we were capable of.

(Yamamoto attended Harvard University, and was also an attache in Washington.)

PEACE MORE SECURE THAN VICTORY?

My letter made the paper today in response....here's his article...my response is below........
This was a guest opinion in the Iowa City press Citizen :

*******************

A war with a "foreign devil," like Saddam Hussein, may serve the purposes of a leader that desires to control the thinking of his people, but a bogus threat to their security does not assist that people in their effort to find a better way for themselves and the neighbors with whom they must live.
"They hate us and want to destroy our way of life" is not uttered by George W. Bush to encourage a brave consideration of the successful sharing of our planet with others. It is propaganda set to inflame the emotions and block a wider search for a better course.
And the media-merchants of derision and division on talk radio and cable news -- in greedy grasp for greater notoriety and larger fortune -- even stoop to charge that an American who questions is guilty of hating his or her own country.
Regardless, with courage and in love of what America stands for and with the resolve of the founders, we can see through this dank and distorting fog of words and find our better way and joint with all people of goodwill in stamping out terrorism and things that breed its inception. To this end I suggest that we turn the larger responsibility for the Iraqi problem over to the people that face it most directly, the Eastern Arab World, and non Arab neighbors that share boards with Iraq.
The world's No. 1 power should request that these nations hold a summit and take charge of establishing a peace in Iraq that allows these beleaguered people to find enough security to pursue their own special way of life. The undertaking would be challenging, but not as impossible as for an outside force to impose its solution into the region.
By turning the problem over to those most directly affected, "We the People" free ourselves from this quagmire and can directly focus our intellect and energy on the unending Constitutional tasks to, "establish justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare and secure the Blessing of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity." In vigorous pursuit of these, we will be seen by the world for what we really are: a good neighbor that uses its incredible power and sense of justice to encourage and assist others in doing the same.
This problem is rooted in the old geopolitics of exploitation within spheres of influence and a neo version of the same only makes things worse. We do not need to find a way to peace, peace is the way. And peace is not an inactive way, anymore than love is just the absence of hate -- love is a powerful engulfing force that generates more of the same.
Were we to have as much courage in pursuing peace as we do in having others die for us in war, and if we committed as many material resources in its behest as we have in the destruction of differing others, we make peace quicker than it can ever be found in a war that somehow at its end must fortuitously stumble into it.
Yes, protect ourselves we must and we will, but the preemptive willingness to shoot first and ask questions later is no protection. It is the assassination of all that makes life worthwhile in the first place.
We claim that "We the People" are capable of government of us, by us and for us. There has not been anything in the drinking water in North America that has made only the people of this continent special in this regard. We are special because we know that humans are special and are endowed by their Creator with an inalienable virtue that must be respected by us all.

Radical Muslims are a real threat:

By PCopinion Posted at 11:12 AM on December 5, 2006
Sam Osborne is living in a rainbow, candy-cane covered world (“Peace more secure than victory,” Dec. 3).
He needs to wake up and smell the roses. We’re not the ones that want to wipe anyone out. The terrorists are the ones that flew planes into the World Trade Center — or did Osborne miss that? I am so sick of all the “blame America first” people. Don’t they understand that by taking the fight to the terrorists, we don’t have to fight it on our shores?
Has Osborne ever seen and or heard the Islamic fascist vitriol? It’s not some fantasy made up by talk radio or President Bush. It’s real. Doesn’t he understand that he wouldn’t be able to say what he thinks if they would somehow take over?Hello!?
Thank God Osborne is a retired “teacher.” I certainly wouldn’t want any of my children learning the poison he would have them believe.
I suppose we shouldn’t have attacked Japan either after they wiped out Pearl Harbor.
I suggest Osborne do a little research before writing that we can all live in peace. He needs to get it through his head that the radical Muslims are a threat. Period.
