Saddam's trial is going to be TELEVISED next week, huh?

Rat bastards. Timing is everything, isn't it?

3. Angry Americans want Nero's blood more than Saddam's.

High energy prices in the failed economy will keep America's eye on the prize. Thumbs down for you, Nero.

2. Another reason why I'm glad that Fitz may extend the Grand Jury.

Saddam on TV will suck the oxygen out of any story for months.

4. I suppose it will for a day or so, but most trials are VERY boring!

They have their moments, but this one is going to be worse, because it's all going to have to go through translators! I'm sure all the talking heads will spend time on the few highlights, but if the Fitz indictments are filed, Sadaam is going to have to share the spotlight!

5. Their bag of dirty tricks has become "see through"!

Guess Rove is not so busy with his defense, to have kept all his "Paper Tigers" ready to perform.

ARGH!

6. This means all the missing blond girl stories will be pre-empted.

Shucks.

I do think this is a gift to the administration. It's the perfect distraction.

8. This is totally deliberate by the

US administation. Plaster Saddam's trial all over the news and drown any indictments from Fitzgerald.

Give the great American public what they want and lets see that brutal dictator hang.

11. Let us hope the Sunnis learn something about Bathism. And have

to admit to their families & people that all was not well under Saddam.

Let us hope - for them - for us - for peace.

13. That'll be quite a feat if they televise it here ... like on C-Span

or one of the cable snewz channels.

It will be in Arabic. Subtitles? Simultaneous translation?

No one will watch.

No one.
