This issue if flying all over leftosphere, but I chose this one because she is as serious as a heart attack.
It surrounds the upcoming verdict in the trial of Saddam Hussein. The leftosphere “Questions the Timing”.
A verdict against Saddam Hussein and seven co-defendants charged with crimes against humanity in connection with an anti-Shite crackdown in the 1980’s will be announced Nov. 5, chief investigating judge Raid Juhl said Monday.
And the retort from Magpie at Pacific Views
November 5th? Isn’t that just two days before the congressional elections that the GOP is increasingly afraid it’s going to lose?
I wonder which strings in the ‘independent’ Iraqi government had to be pulled to get that date? The Saddam verdict won’t be as good as yanking Osama bin Laden out of his cave, but it’ll certainly get the attention of the GOP’s right-wing base.
If they don’t feel they’re being conspired against, it just ain’t worth living for leftists.
The verdict means nothing, since the execution won’t happen before the election.
