President Bush and his GOP colleagues are in a heap of do-do and need a miracle or two before next Tuesday. Without something approximating divine intervention, Washington, D.C. will fall into the hands of America’s most dangerous enemy—AKA, liberals in the Democrat Party. Republican woes stem primarily from public impatience and opposition to the war in Iraq. However, in an odd twist of irony, events scheduled for this weekend in Baghdad could actually boost GOP chances next Tuesday. Sometime this Sunday, Saddam Hussein, former president of Iraq, will learn his fate after being on trial for more than one year to adjudicate alleged crimes against humanity. It is widely anticipated that Hussein will be convicted and sentenced to death for barbaric and brutal crimes. Go here for the story concerning the announcement of Hussein’s verdict. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-2436987,00.html If Hussein were, in fact, convicted in an Iraqi court by Iraqi judges and prosecutors, instant credibility would be added to the Bush argument and the president’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003. Bush already deserves enormous credit for the fact that Hussein’s trial is the first time that a Middle East leader has been brought to justice for alleged human rights abuses. A conviction would add to the Bush legacy. But legacies are for future generations and historians to sort out in the decades to follow. Those of us alive in the here and now need dramatic results before next Tuesday in order to save America. Unsubstantiated rumors have it that Karl Rove is pulling strings in Baghdad and elsewhere to expedite the Hussein matter so that the killer can be convicted, sentenced, and shot ASAP. Rove is reportedly working to have the Hussein death penalty completed and the death certificate posted at www.killsaddamandvotegop.iraq/us before the polls close on the East Coast next Tuesday. And what happens if Hussein is unexpectedly acquitted? No one knows exactly for sure, but rumor has it that, in such an eventuality, Karl Rove would end up working for Ramsey Clarke as assistant court jester in one of Hussein’s palaces! Vote Republican-- early and often! John W. Lillpop is a recovering liberal, 'clean and sober' since 1992 when last he voted for a Democrat. Pray for John: He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, where people like Nancy Pelosi are considered reasonable!

It's just a coincidence the "verdict" will come the sunday before the election. Right.
If these judges find grounds to question the judgment, Saddam will face another trial. If not, the sentence imposed this weekend by the Iraqi High Tribunal will stand and be carried out within 30 days. http://www.news.com.au/sundaytelegraph/story/0,22049,20699314- 5006506,00.html

DEPOSED Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's sentence will be automatically reviewed by an appeals panel if he is convicted tomorrow of war crimes and sentenced to death or life imprisonment.
