UPDATE (5:15 p.m. – 12.29.06): AP reporting Saddam to hang tonight.
Sorry, couldn\’t resist the graphic.
On a very serious note, what will this mean for Iraq and for what the U.S. military will soon face?
Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, sentenced to death for his role in
148 killings in 1982, will have his sentence carried out by Sunday, NBC News
reported Thursday. According to a U.S. military officer who spoke on condition
of anonymity, Saddam will be hanged before the start of the Eid religious
holiday, which begins this Sunday.NBC: Saddam to be hanged

recently posed the questions: Snuffing out the Insurgency? or Igniting Full
Fledged Civil War?
Right now all we\’ve got are questions, including what Mr. Bush is going to do, though if he takes any longer he might as well just hold a contest for ideas. But if the NBC report is correct, we\’ll know a lot more soon enough.
No matter what, as the saying goes, buckle up. It\’s going to be a bumpy ride.
