Bush Hails Saddam Verdict As Milestone for Iraq President Bush celebrated Saddam Hussein's death sentence as a victory for ``Iraq's young democracy'' and U.S. security, taking a break from an election campaign in which Republicans are suffering from public discontent with the Iraq war. White House spokesman Tony Snow decried as ``absolutely crazy'' any notion that Sunday's end to Saddam's nine-month trial was timed to produce positive news on the divisive, unpopular war two days before Americans vote. The United States has always denied direct involvement in the trial, though suspicions persisted throughout the proceedings. With their leader lynched, surely al Qaeda will crumble!  Take that, idiotarians!
