Sunday Times: Saddam faces hanging after Baghdad verdict

SUPPORTERS of Saddam Hussein have warned of a “firestorm” of violence if he is found guilty of crimes against humanity today and sentenced to death.

Iraqi officials ordered the closure of Baghdad’s international airport in a massive security clampdown ahead of the verdict. If convicted, Saddam could face hanging.

Nouri al-Maliki, the prime minister, went on television to appeal for calm last night. He called on Iraqis to celebrate a guilty verdict in a way that “does not risk their lives”. He added: “We hope that the verdict will give this man what he deserves for the crimes he committed against the Iraqi people.” Maliki has previously said that Saddam should hang.

HANG THE BASTARD……

READ IT ALL

United Nations and European negotiations with Iranhave failed and any further illusion of success in stopping the Mullahs and Ahmadinejad is foolish and reckless.

I have maintained for months that when a “POINT OF NO RETURN” is reached the United States and Israel WILL take military action against Iran. Arthur Herman’s piece is a very plausible scenario.

Is it a LEAK?

Is it a message to Iran?

Possibly.

But, make no mistake about it the United States and Israel will NOT allow Iran to develop nucklear weapons.

Kharg Island

Possible

But, Israel and the United States have nuclear arsenals. An overt attack against civilian populations in Israel would mean devastating destruction of Iran.

Iran MUST stand down their nuclear program and immediately stop the enrichment of uranium.

The clock towards the “POINT OF NO RETURN” is counting down……..

Stay tuned……..
