Well, we're still waiting for the inescapable, inevitable, unquenchable, unfathomable surge in violence caused directly by Saddam Hussein's death.
After all, Saddam's martyrdom and his inspiration to the "millions of terrorists Bush created" was a principal argument of the pro-Saddam left in favor of leniency this weekend.
Lets see. Two carbombs across the entire country. Nope. Typical day. Iraq is still there.
Tick, tock. Time is running out for this wildly reactionary grievance against the US effort there to be a valid one.
Then again, we've seen a lot of invalid and non-sensical 'arguments' written by morons to be read by imbiciles taking 'moral stands' against the the Coalition's effort in Iraq ever since 2003.
Leftwingnuts. Idiots full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Still no surge in violence. James Baker is a moron, and not because he reads the Bible. When you say "get our asses out of there" does that mean you're serving in Iraq, or that you want to see some soldiers' asses?
Your hero is dead. Get over it. I hope you're not too attached to bin Loser......

Saddam Hussein is Dead and Burning in Hell.
"May God Curse him, in this life and the next."
"Now, 12 years later, Mr. Shaati cannot remember if the
women and children beside him screamed as the bullets
hit, or whether the men in the hole moaned as they died.
He only recalls a moment of hollow silence when the
soldiers stopped shooting. Then came the throaty rumble
of a backhoe and the thud of wet earth dropping on
bodies. He survived but saw hundreds of other innocents
buried in another of Saddam Hussein's anonymous mass
graves."
-- The New York Times, June 2, 2003
------
"The soldiers took them out in groups of 100 to 150
people. When his time came, Mr. Shaati was ordered to
remove his T-shirt and rip it into strips that were tied
over his eyes and around his hands. The prisoners were
herded onto a bus, everyone holding on with their teeth
to the shirt of the person in front of them. When they
arrived at a field - Mr. Shaati is still not sure where
- their grave had already been prepared. 'They led us
down an incline into a wide long hole,' he said. 'It was
quiet. No one fell or even cried. I was positioned very
close to the corner, maybe second or third from the
wall. Then they started shooting. Somehow I wasn't hit.
By then, I guess, they didn't go to the trouble of
shooting all of us.' After the grave was covered, Mr.
Shaati, alive but choking on dirt, wormed his way out of
the ditch. He punched through the earthen blanket with
his head, and worked himself free of the cloth straps.
Gulping the cold night air, he knew that all his
soldierly ideas about honor and country counted for
nothing."
-- The New York Times, June 2, 2003

"The executions took place two or three times on most
days, Arjawi said. Each time, between 100 and 150
blindfolded people, their hands and sometimes feet
bound, were led into pits about 10 feet deep. Gunmen
then fired into the pit, often for several minutes,
Arjawi said. A bulldozer then pushed dirt onto the
bodies, sometimes burying or crushing people who had
survived the volley and were trying to climb out."
-- Los Angeles Times, May 14, 2003

"The grave was no more than a long trench, with dirt
shoveled over the men executed for their role in the
uprising here in 1999 after the killing of a prominent
Shiite cleric, Muhammad Sadiq al-Sadr, said relatives
who viewed the remains today.
"On March 25, 1999, a shepherd in the desert about 45
miles north of Basra saw men being brought by Baath
Party trucks to an open clearing, said Ali Hassan, 20.
The shepherd said he saw a backhoe dig a long trench and
the men, blindfolded, were lined up in front of the
ditch. Then they were shot."

"In May 1991, having served in the Persian Gulf War with
the Marines, I volunteered for further duty in Provide
Comfort -- a joint military operation designed to assist
in the relocation of Kurdish refugees into northern
Iraq. Assigned to the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, I
was flown to the city of Zakho, where the unit was
establishing its headquarters in and around an abandoned
Iraqi divisional headquarters building....
"As the Marines began digging defensive positions and
putting up tents, a grisly discovery was made. Heavy
equipment had unearthed myriad body parts; hands, arms,
legs, etc., were uncovered in what was determined to
have been a mass grave. Most telling among this evidence
of inhumanity was an infant's sandal.
"The body parts were reburied immediately after their
discovery, but for many days the stench of rotting flesh
lingered in the air until all the remains were located
and reburied. It was later learned from the Kurds that
about 70 of their tribesmen had been taken into this
Iraqi divisional HQ and that none had come out alive.
The victims were brutally tortured and executed, their
remains then thrown into a common grave."

"Near Kirkuk, U.S. military forces discovered about
1,500 unmarked graves last week near a military base and
industrial park. Officials believe they are the remains
of victims of Saddam's repression of ethnic minorities,
including Iraqi Kurds. Tens of thousands of Kurdish men
disappeared under Saddam and were killed, according to
human rights groups."
"Beth Ann Toupin, an Iraq specialist with Amnesty
International, said it is still early to know the
magnitude of rights abuses under Saddam. 'There's
probably much more to be found,' she said, noting that
hidden prisons may be discovered. 'And what's new to us
is that now people care.'"

"The civilians were hanged. Sometimes a soldier would
come through and they were all shot. I could distinguish
them by their uniforms. This grave belongs to a woman.
She was hanged. There are another five cemeteries in
Baghdad with secret gravesites so in this city alone
there are about 6,000 (political) corpses."

"I have spoken to a prison officer who worked there. He
had no idea how many people were killed in that prison
but he said it must have been thousands. In one corner
of that prison outside the walls of an inner secure area
we found relatives grieving over an open grave where
they had found a number of bodies. Bodies who have had
their hands tied behind their backs - they had been shot
in the head.
"It is our understanding that these people had been
rounded up for the simple crime of having a satellite
mobile telephone. As such they were suspected of being
American spies. They were shot in the dying days of the
regime even though those who shot them must have known
that the end was up."

"In 2000, Mr Abu Sakkar [a clandestine government agent]
was caught "under-reporting" activities in the mosques
and sent for two months to Tourist Island on the Tigris
river, south of Baghdad, to receive a crude brand of
re-education.
"'Three of my fellow Shias were shot in front of me,' he
said. When he returned to his work with the police
campaign to put down Shia opponents and rebels, he
witnessed more savagery. 'One day I walked into the
station and the room of the interrogation office was
wide open. I saw Captain Abbass, one of our men, beating
a man on the floor. I recognised him as a Shia religious
student. He beat the man in the head and I noticed and
pointed out to the captain that the student was already
dead. He just said that he wanted to punish him more and
that his hand was the "hand of god".'"

"When they came closer, I could see in the bus men,
women and children with blindfolds over their eyes. I
was very afraid and hid in a hole. It was mostly men.
There were about eight children and ten women. They
(Ba'ath Party forces) took them off the bus and led them
over to the hole in groups. They sat or knelt and then
they began to shoot them from very close, many shots.
Some were just pushed in and then covered up with earth.
There was no escape, it was done very quickly.
"I could not tell this secret because I knew it was
dangerous knowledge that I should not hold, dangerous
knowledge. But if the British Army want me to show them
I will dig up the bodies myself, because I know they are
there. I can never forget."

"'Prisoners were taken to watch executions; anyone who
cried was executed, too. Our hands were tied like this.
First the left hand and then the foot. Then a black hood
on my head, then they applied electricity."
"They had a game: They made people drink gasoline, then
put them out in open ground and fire guns at them."

"Two men yesterday gave eyewitness accounts of the
execution last Saturday of a commander of the Iraqi 29th
brigade after he recommended retreating from Sheykhan, a
frontline town that fell to US and Kurdish forces at the
weekend.
"'He was made to stand in a ditch for half an hour or so
and then he was shot,' said Salah Mehdi Taleb. 'The man
who shot him was Mahmoud Taher, who also gave us
political education.'"

"'I am one of millions who have been tortured,' said
33-year-old Ali Khadem Al Essery, whose knuckles were
smashed with a club while he was being interrogated in
1994. Everyone here knows someone who was tortured, and
many victims see a bleak future without a measure of
justice exacted on the torturers."

"A chef at Baghdad's exclusive Hunting Club recalls a
wedding party that Uday crashed in the late 1990s. After
Uday left the hall, the bride, a beautiful woman from a
prominent family, went missing. 'The bodyguards closed
all the doors, didn't let anybody out,' the chef
remembers. 'Women were yelling and crying, "What
happened to her?"' The groom knew. 'He took a pistol and
shot himself,' says the chef, placing his forefinger
under his chin.
"Last October another bride, 18, was dragged, resisting,
into a guardhouse on one of Uday's properties, according
to a maid who worked there. The maid says she saw a
guard rip off the woman's white wedding dress and lock
her, crying, in a bathroom. After Uday arrived, the maid
heard screaming. Later she was called to clean up. The
body of the woman was carried out in a military blanket,
she said. There were acid burns on her left shoulder and
the left side of her face. The maid found bloodstains on
Uday's mattress and clumps of black hair and peeled
flesh in the bedroom. A guard told her, "Don't say
anything about what you see, or you and your family will
be finished."

"At Baghdad's teeming Al-Mutanabi book market, Ali
al-Saadi held up a gilded Islamist book and recalled the
one he said led to his torture in one of Saddam
Hussein's military prisons. 'When I was a literature
student in 1982, intelligence officers found a book by
Mohammed Sadeq Sadr in my house,' said Saadi of the
Shiite ayatollah whose 1999 murder was widely attributed
to Saddam's Sunni-majority regime. 'They accused me of
organizing a political group. I spent three years in
jail and suffered a lot,' he said, showing scars on his
wrists from prison chains and gaps where he said three
teeth had been pulled out with pliers. Saadi was just
one of many writers and thinkers at the weekly market
who celebrated being able to buy and sell books that
were illegal under the old regime."

Prior to the embassy kidnapping in Tehran, the koranimals were scared stiff of America. After carter's capitulation, they realized they could attack us with impunity, and did so in spades, culminating in 911.
What the left and the koranimals don't understand is that the good times for them are over. The taliban sheltered Bin Loser: DEAD. Saddam tried to play games: DEAD. Bashar and the mullahs? Dead men walking.
