Holiday gift from Bush and Co.

"deplorable" video of Saddam's execution
Why? why it has to be on at this particular time? as if someone had placed a bet saying 'Saddam will never see 2007' - may be it would make some sense to investigate if some betting mafia was involved behind this sudden and calculated 'punishment'.
Now that Saddam is done with, .. next in line please, uncle Sam wants your head.
