So what do you think is going to happen to Saddam?

[eeyore]

Bush said, I think yesterday, that we will hand him over to the Iraqi puppet regime, but not until they can guarantee he will be securely held.

So assume that the handover takes place, and the Iraqis puppets put him on trial.

Will they sentence him to death?

And if so, will our newswhores provide live coverage of his assassination?

Will faithful Americans gather around our TeeVees and chant "USA! USA! USA!"?

Will that be the final straw for the rest of the international community who already think that we're on morally thin ice?

Will it happen before November as a campaign stunt?

Will they "accidentally" set him free and then pursue him through the country like in Logan's Run?

What's gonna happen to Saddam? I wanna know now!

-eeyore

[UTUSN]

1. He's Going to Be Tortured (More), Then Slaughtered

Literally. Shrub doesn't really want a "trial". He's probably got Alzheimer's, so all that he knew about the Shrubbites is gone anyway, but his "lawyers" might bring something up, unless they are hand-picked by the Shrubbites.

[eeyore]

3. Lawyers?

You actually think we'll allow him to have lawyers? To what end? He's already been convicted of ruining the entire world by our media. I don't think he stands a chance.

What is the preferred method of capital punishement in Iraq these days? Public stoning?

Seriously, what will they do to him?

-eeyore

[UTUSN]

14. As I Said, (Seriously/Literally), Tortured (More) & Slaughtered

as in murdered, assassinated, car-bombed, drawn & quartered by a mob of CHALABITES, etc.

As for lawyers, he supposedly already has some, who are quoted in the media. But I agree that it's all window dressing.

[oblivious]

2. Let go for no evidence, then off on a world speaking tour.

[eeyore]

4. I like it...

Maybe professor emeritus at the Sorbonne in Paris?

[King of New Orleans]

5. He'll appear on all-star Jeopardy

with Tucker and Tweety, and beats them soundly.

[Eric J in MN]

6. A bogus show trial in which he isn't allowed to speak, and

A bogus show trial in which he isn't allowed to speak, and witnesses chosen by the Bush Admnistration.

[eeyore]

8. Then what?

Will he be put to death? Not to beat a dead horse (so to speak), but * really likes to put people to death. And he already said that Saddam needs to pay the ultimate price for his crimes against humanity - or something very close to that.

[Cleita]

7. The Iraqis will find out that he is not guilty of harboring WMDs.

They will set him free. All the Iraqis our hillbillys tortured already have been gathering back together with the Baathists that supported Saddam. The people of Iraq, who are really pissed off with us by now, elect Saddam as President because they feel things were better under him than with us.

Now that nothing has really changed in the ME, what do we do about *?

[K-W]

9. The current government does not want him around.

They are in power because he has been ousted. Saddam returning to power is not really a possibility.

[Cleita]

12. I hate to say it but there is no current government and

those people paraded before us for photo opportunities are just that.

[K-W]

15. Regardless, nobody we put in power wants saddam

to threaten thier power.

[eeyore]

10. Fence him (bunnypants) off in Crawford

We could turn it into a reality show, call it American Cowboy or some such thing.
Fence him in with nothing but the tools needed to run your average ranch, then see if he can make it happen. He'd starve in a month - fucking poser!



edit for clarity. i don't want to fence saddam off in crawford. really, i don't.

[K-W]

13. Bush and Saddam can be the next Paris and Nicole

Come see a Middle Eastern dictator and an Idiot Blue-Blooded ex-president try to figure out how to run a ranch. One knows how to remember frat boy's names, the other knows how to claw his way into power in unstable governments. But neither of them knows how to milk a cow.

(cut to picture of Saddam spraying milk from an udder all over Bush's shirt)

This season on Fox watch two war criminals in thier wacky adventures on a ranch in crawford.

[eeyore]

19. OMFG!

That sounds fantastic!

[Philosophy]

11. They'll pump him full of thorazine

to give him a chemical lobotomy before they hand him over, so he can't say anything politally embarrassing. Then they'll have a show trial where he just sits there and drools and maybe mumbles a few incoherent phrases, which will "prove" that he was a "dangerous madman" all along. After he's found guilty of crimes agaist humanity and collaberating with al Qaida he'll be executed.

[eeyore]

16. so they'll execute him....

How? Firing squad? Drawn and quartered?

[Philosophy]

17. Not sure

But it will probably involve a lightstick, electrodes, and a naked pyramid.

[Zen]

18. He'll be set free in a daring escape and will take over Iraq again

hehe

[kittykitty]

20. He'll become President of Iraq again. <nt>

[soothsayer]

22. yep (n/t)

[pacifictiger]

21. once he's turned over to the iraqi's

he'll probably negotiate something to save his skin. He didn't get to where he was without having extraordinary survival skills and he's got a lot of tales to tell about the current washington cabal.
Thats assuming he gets turned over at all - dead men tell no tales.
