U.S. To Re-Hang Saddam Hussein
JULY 15, 2008

WASHINGTON, DC—Calling the December 2006 hanging of Saddam Hussein "anticlimactic," White House officials announced Monday their intention to hang the late Iraqi dictator again this year in an attempt to garner a more favorable response from the public.

"We're really looking for something that will refocus the American people's attention on all the positive aspects of this war," White House press secretary Dana Perino said. "We were counting on the death of this brutal despot—who, by the way, gassed his own people and was just like Hitler—to be a major media event for us. Instead, we wasted three or four great news days at a time when we really could have used a few high points."

I can't believe this didn't receive any comments, debunking or wasn't recognized as satire from The Onion.

This is what kind of country we're currently living in.

Nothing is considered too outrageous, too bizarre, too messed-up for the neocons. Whether it's legalized torture, domestic spying to catch "terrorists" who never existed, the elimination of Habeas Corpus -- a 17th century legal foundation of individual freedom and liberty, offing a million civilians in an illegal and immoral war based on blatant lies and greed, or re-hanging a dictator (!), what was formerly considered completely outlandish and un-American is now tolerated and even accepted:

Has America become Fascist?

Global Research, August 1, 2008

If it hasn’t gone the way of Mussolini’s Italy and Hitler’s Germany, it sure is teetering on the brink. America is a nation in deepening crisis, a nation whose leaders repeatedly plunge their citizens into, and make them pay for, serial wars abroad, while stealing their liberties at home. USA has become a country that trashes its citizens (New Orleans), tortures its enemies (Abu Ghraib), threatens other nations with nuclear fire (Iran), flouts international treaties (UN Charter re Iraq), and spies on (FISA), and intimidates, its critics (No Fly). Americans that can clearly see the totalitarian machinations of Vladimir Putin in Russia and Hu Jintao in China are blind to the fascism threatening to envelop them as well.

What kind of country have we become? Is there anyone who doesn't understand how Hitler came to power? Will you tell your grandchildren that you were one of the "good Americans?"

9-11 was an inside job.

I don't care if they find 5000 tons of yellowcake.

Iraq has no nuclear power generating plants.
Wonder what Saddam was gonna use it for? Dirty bombs or a nuclear scud missile?
This was meant to be used for WMD's.
FBI agent George Piro recently described debriefing Saddam Hussein for seven months after his capture, he disclosed that the Iraqi dictator admitted his intention to re-start his weapons of mass destruction program within a year.
Here is a link to a story of the 550 Metric Tons of yellowcake.

Iraq was building a nuclear power station named Osirak, if I remember correctly. The US and Israel (the usual 2 culprits) declared they had firm intel that Iraq was engaged in a covert nuclear weapons programme (sound familiar?) and Israel bombed the plant.

ourse, their previous assertions about a weapons research lab under the Osirak plant were proved unfounded by UN weapons inspectors and the IAEA after the fall of Iraq. No such underground weapons lab or nuclear weapons programme existed and the US and Israel were unable to provide any solid evidence (again, sounds awfully familiar).

The Yellowcake Uranium is not an enriched source by any means and is in fact unrefined raw material used to create the fuel required for a power plant. Of course the press would like to "sex up" the story and try to use it as some sort of evidence of a weapons programme for the masses, even if it is scientifically incorrect.

Tis better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and confirm it.

The reactor at Osirak was an MTR reactor, one better suited for helping produce materials for a weapons program than for producing energy. The first country to bomb it, was Iran. During the Iran-Iraq war they sent a mission to bomb the site. Then the Israelis launched their raid. In response, the United States condemned the raid and placed a hold on a shipment of aircraft to Israel.
