Being hanged 1,000,000 times would still not be enough for what these scumbags deserve. Yet, justice has triumphed.

Chemical Ali deserves to hang. I for one will not shed any tears on his behalf. Let us all hope sentence is carried out swiftly, so that the world can quickly forget about this human nitemare.

I hope and assume this execution is going to be carried out by
Kurds. They will do it more professionaly (and hopefully with better video quality) than the Shia executioners last time.

This must be a miscarriage of justice - Iraq never had WMDs!

Right?

I mean, that’s what I hear the box in my living room say!

It wouldn’t lie, would it?

I didn’t even know Chemical Ali was in custody.

Last i heard he was on the run and had some form of cancer.

That’s Izzat Al-Duri. He is probably hiding in Syria and is regarded as key organizer of the (Baathist) Terrorists in Iraq. There have been several unconfirmed reports of his death due to cancer.

If not, maybe they should ask the Texas Rangers for some help. It used to be the Rangers threw a good neck-tie party.

AP calls the use of chemical weapons on civilians and villages as "scorched earth". Do these people have a moral compass? Are they really so unwilling to make a judgment against vicious mass murderers? Sadly, yes.

I have advice for a 2nd tier GOP Presidential candidate. If you want to break from the pack, start going on a rampage against the American media, against Leftwing college professors and against insane political correctness.

The MSM hates you anyways and they can't really attack you on 1st Amendment grounds, when the Libs are out there trying to "legislatively fix" talk radio. Someone go on the attack against the media and defend our troops, defend our people and defend our country.

I wonder if we was surprised by the sentence? I read somewhere that a few of them were completely stunned that they would be hanged for their roles in the deaths of so many.
