Lynching Saddam: The New Way Forward

It turns out that Saddam Hussein will be lynched, and Bush will announce his plan for "a new way forward" troop escalation at pretty much the same time . . . soon.

What a coincidence!

"President Bush worked nearly three hours at his Texas ranch on Thursday to design a new U.S. policy in Iraq, then emerged to say that he and his advisers need more time to craft the plan he'll announce in the new year."

Lucky Bush! With the Saddam Hussein lynching apparently scheduled for this weekend, the First Cowboy can emerge in the New Year with yet another notch on his killer belt.

Cuz Saddam was found guilty in a fair and balanced trial in "a court in Iraq, established by US viceroy Paul Bremer, who appointed its judges in direct contravention of international law."

So now that long awaited speech by the Decider, announcing "the new way forward" can be loaded with the gunslinger language we've become so accustomed to:

Wanted Dead or Alive! We have killed the killer! The sovereign nation of Iraq has killed the killer! And here's the videotape to prove it. Now if the radical extremists will just stop being so damn violent maybe we can get some peace. And in the name of peace, I, George W. Cowboy do hereby escalate the War.

As a little bonus, expect the First Cowboy to add a noose to his collection of Saddam memorabilia. It'll look real kinky next to Saddam's gun.
