Two things: One, the timing.
WHY aren't Democrats screaming about the timing of this?
Republicans have been crying foul for weeks over Foley, Ney, Haggard, and other news of scandal and misbehavior among their ranks. Oh, no! That news was timed to coincide with the election! We're the poor little victims of the big bad Democrat politics machine.
The timing of this verdict is transparently political. I don't see how any rational person could not conclude that this was timed deliberately to coincide with the elections. Why aren't the Democrats on the offensive about that the way the Republicans would be?
Thing two: the verdict itself.
This is yet another disaster being spun as victory. Saddam should be kept to rot in a cell for the rest of his life. Instead he's being formally martyred by the Iraqi puppet government. The US will be blamed by the Saddam-loyalists, and they'll take it out on our troops. Prepare for massive insurgency activity, on a scale we've never seen before. Hanging Saddam may very well be the thing that breaks Iraq into full-scale civil war.

bingo about the democrats...i have NO idea why they aren't saying anything about the timing of this.
and 2, BINGO about how this is being spun as a victory. I think anyone with half a brain cell left can see exactly what this is going to do to the whole Iraq situation.
mark my words...they say OCT was the bloodiest month for our troops...they haven't seen anything yet.
how sad is that.
