Claymore,

A public beheading of Saddam a month before the US election will not do yer guy any good at all... Quite the contrary... In spite of yer thirst fir blood here, the American people don't like grizzly capital punishment because it isn't nice...

A more possible scenero is an sraged attempted escape by Saddam where he is shot. But that probably won't happen either.

No, the most likely scenerio is where, inspite of teh Bush folks trying to make Saddam look like a menacing boogieman, he will be seen more as the pathetic creature that he is. And, my friend, is bad news fir yer guy especially if he can't find the guy who really had somehting to do with 9/11...

Meanwhile, Iraq is still a mess and will remain so and folks will continue die daily on both sides, and the bodies will continue to come home...

And the beat goes on...
