Rosen on Shiite Execution of Saddam

Nir Rosen at Iraqslogger has a fine analysis of the Sunni Arab reaction to the hanging of Saddam, and includes a partial transcript of the highly sectarian, Shiite chanting at the scene by Iraqi politicians in attendance. I can confirm that Rosen’s partial transcript is accurate.

Cindy Sheehan’s son died fighting the Mahdi Army; Bush delivered Saddam into the hands of MA’s political wing.
