Piss up in a brewery

Sky News this lunchtime and Foreign Editor, Tim Marshall, has just come out with a classic on the story about an enquiry into Sadam's Execution turning into a happy slapping and being filmed on a mobile.


He launched into one about the Iraqi authorities and said "I mean if you can't even organise an orderly state execution what chance have you of running the country".

Exactly! Sadam may have been a monster but at least you knew where you were with him - no messing about, just mustard gas the whole village.

The Americans came out with a brilliant line too: "well he was alright when he left here".
The Sky anchor piled right in and said that the US had looked after Sadam for 3 years and the Iraqis had ballsed it up after just 32 minutes of custody.
Yup, the Yanks know how to look after condemned prisoners - they should do Bush has fried enough of them.
What about all those guys stripped naked, attacked with dogs arranged into a pile and made to wank each other off in Abu Ghraib? I'm sure they'll take great solace in the idea that the Americans know how to treat prisoners with solemnity and dignity.
Post script: Iraqi PM says he doesn't like being leader and wants to quit before his term of office is up. I'm not bloody suprised!
