Excuse me, Mr. Bush ... You can get out now ... your goals have been met!

It's providence, Mr. Bush ... Mr. Hussein (your dad's business partner some years back) will be executed imminently -- like probably tomorrow! And the number of our troops killed in Iraq has now exceeded the number of Americans who died on 9-11. What more can you ask for?

Saddam Hussein's appeal went pffft (this morning's news says) and thus, he will be executed within 30 days, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported ... citing the appeals court judge. "As from tomorrow, the sentence could be carried out at any time," Judge Arif Shaheen said today , according to the AFP article.

Mr. Hussein was found guilty on Nov. 5, following that endless trial, of crimes against humanity for his role in the killing of 148 Shiite Muslim villagers in Dujail in 1982. I wonder what will become of his trial for his role in the gassing of hundreds of Kurds using chemicals purchased from you-know-who? I actually guessed that he would not live long enough for that trial to get into full swing -- too embarrassing for many parties to the current fighting, most prominently, the United States of America who was supplying arms to Saddam Hussein back in those terrible days.

But anyway, if that isn't enough reason for Mr. Bush to remove our boys and girls from Iraq, the fact that more of them have died in Iraq now than were killed on 9-11 should convince him that we have paid those rotten criminals fighting with the Sunnis and the Shiites IN FULL for their [sic] dastardly deed five and a half or so years ago.

Four US soldiers were killed around Baghdad on Tuesday, bringing to 2,976 the number of American fatalities in Iraq since the 2003 invasion -- three more than the number killed in the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States.

I think that means ... we won ... at least in the twisted logic that seems to dominate in the Cheney White House.

But, if it means bringing home our kids over there, I'm willing to agree with Cheney and his sidekick, Mr. Bush, that it's a "victory." Anything to bring them home!

This is as sad a day for America as I can imagine. Please, Mr. Bush; bring our boys and girls home NOW!!!
