Bush: Execution 'An Important Milestone'


(CBS/AP) President George W. Bush said that Saddam Hussein's execution marks the "end of a difficult year for the Iraqi people and for our troops" and cautioned that his death will not halt the violence in Iraq.

Yet, Bush said in a statement issued late Friday from his ranch in Texas, "it is an important milestone on Iraq's course to becoming a democracy that can govern, sustain and defend itself, and be an ally in the war on terror."

In a message of assurance to the people of Iraq, Bush said the execution was a reminder of how far the Iraqi people have come since the end of Saddam's rule.

"The progress they have made would not have been possible without the continued service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform," he said.

4. In the escalation of the war...now what Sunni high holiday was he executed on?
One that the Shia celebrate on Sunday? You say you didn't know about that George? We'll certainly need more troops now.

Unbelievable article in Salon. This is going to be ugly.

7. Which of Saddam's body parts do you have pickled in a jar, Georgie?
My guess is that someone smuggled you his dick. Makes a nice souvenir, doesn't it?
