Saddam Hussein Hanging LIVE Thread

[AVNevis]

Since it now seems very imminent, I decided that it was an appropriate time to start this up. Links to information and pictures (if we get them) can be posted here.

Isn't all this hanging mullarkey a bit barbaric?

I mean, what did Saddam actually do wrong? He's not the messiah I'd admit, but perhaps he's just a naughty boy.

[steveegg]

I'll let PJ-Comix filter through the DUmmies.

Saddam Watch now at T-minus 1:13 and counting.

[NobleEagle2004]

I Shure hope Dis Hangin is BonaFide!

[wagglebee]

Perky will probably wear the outfit that she purchased in anticipation of Comrade Castro's death.

[Chuck54]

Ted Bundy had to be dragged from his cell to Old Sparky and it was reported he cried like a little girl.Yeah, he delayed his day for quite a while.

I remember the Fla folks and the "mandatory seat belt law" that was just beginnng to be enforced about this time.

Favorite bumper sticker back then, I'll buckle up when Ted buckles up.

[NormsRevenge]

stocking stuffers for next year. :-)

Watches picturing Iraq's former president Saddam Hussein stand on a shelf in a watch repair shop in Tikrit, Iraq, Friday, Dec. 29, 2006. As an Iraqi appeals court upheld Saddam's death sentence on Tuesday, speculation continues about when the sentence would be carried out within the 30 day time frame set by the court.

Original message
Who has caused more people to be killed; Saddam or Bush?
Saddam was found guilty of ordering troops to kill 184 people, a truly disgusting inhumane criminal thing to do and it is for that action he has been sentenced to death. Saddam is suspected of causing to be killed (not personally killing) by means of military actions, false imprisonment, kidnapping by secret police, and war within his own country of what, 100,000 - 200,000 human beings? These numbers are all estimates and no one knows how many people died as a direct result of Saddams orders. Saddam committed these acts over a 30 year period during which he was the President of Iraq he was also an ally of the United States for most of his tenure.


In only six short years, George W. Bush has caused, by his direct actions and orders, the deaths of 3,000 U.S. troops, somewhere between 50,000 (by his own estimate) and 600,000 (estimate of "The Lancet" by interviewing people in Iraq) Iraqi civilians and uncounted injuries. He has also allegedly encouraged some of the same acts Saddam has been rightfully villified for; kidnappings, torture, rendition, imprisonment without trial, and retaliatory destruction of entire Iraqi towns.

How do we justify killing one leader who caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands and let another continue his killing spree unabated?

I wonder how Bush would fare in a trial in Iraq?

This kind of moral relativism is unseemly. Both are guilty of crimes

[NonValueAdded]

Yeah, Sen. Webb even wrote a book about it.

Just a few million murders, among other things.

[FReepaholic]

...I mean, what did Saddam actually do wrong?...

Besides murder?

Classic!

[Miss Marple]

I hope that one day the reporters and network executives who have done nothing but undermine this president, our military, and anyone who supports them get their comeuppance. They are absolutely shameful and un-American.

[Palladin]

[mdittmar]

And I Believe this is the First in US History, to Execute a Foriegn Leader since WWI?

Which "Foriegn" leader has the US executed?

[battlegearboat]

"J'ACCUSE ...SEE!"

Jimbo - You Are BAD!!!

[MamaB]

You are kidding, aren't you? Do some research.

[meema]

Thanks, AVNevis! I put this in a little box onthe right side of my laptop.

[cardinal4]

Ted Bundy had to be dragged from his cell to Old Sparky and it was reported he cried like a little girl.

Birds of a feather. The two are no different. But they will have plenty of time to get to know eachother..

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Nice......LOL!

[JFC]

Just checking in between bowl games...

Is he DEAD?

[steveegg]

I smell Disco Demolition Night Part II.

[MamaB]

I read that. When I think they can not get any nuttier, they do.

[NinoFan]

I hope you left out the sarcasm tag.

[NinoFan]

Not that we're aware of.

[onyx]

LOL! Yes, I remember that too and I remember Pat Buchanan wrote a really good column which (I think) might have been titled "Buckle Up Bundy."

[mware]

This is the face of the baby that haunts me since I first saw it. May the little one rest in the arms of the loving God.

[nopardons]

bttt

[everydayislikesunday]

Did he? Well he deserves a jolly good smack.

[nhoward14]

You believe OJ is looking for the real killer too, don't you?

[Ciexyz]

Europe is in mourning.

[null and void]

I hope they are sweet.

[steveegg]

We haven't had an announcement yet.

When you see Bones, you'll know he's dead.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

The Left is horrified because the public is getting a small glimpse of how our own justice system once operated -- before 40 years of liberal deconstruction. They are of course deathly afraid of even a small amount of common sense creeping back into the public conscience.

[FMBass]

"I hope he is dragged up the steps blubbering and hysterical for all the world to see."



Ah, the Jimmy Cagney “Angel’s With Dirty Faces” scene. “He was yella!”

[Cementjungle]

Is he DEAD?

He's still only semi-dead.

[hole_n_one]

See #2851 to find an answer to the question you posed to Laz earlier.

[Tijeras_Slim]

and the whole Hobbit bunch carrying on.

You're a silly bunch, but I luv ya all.

[cardinal4]

Did he? Well he deserves a jolly good smack.

You are not a sleeper troll, are you?

[trillabodilla]

"eating my words"

Don't eat them yet....

[Theresawithanh]

Ooops, left off the sarcasm tag...or maybe you didn't.

You certainly couldn't tell what he is accused of by watching CNN.

[everydayislikesunday]

I might be.

I'm just waiting for the DVD....

[Gondring]

ROTFL! I wonder who did the Wikipedia vandalism...check out the pic!

[onyx]

Got it! Thanks!

[happinesswithoutpeace]

I have a lot of video footage of the aftermath of that WMD attack lying around somewhere, horrible stuff.

[mdittmar]

Not yet evidently,it's early in Iraq.

[JFC]

Ok. Back to watching my Red Raiders. Come on TT beat Minni. Right now we are behind 14-0 with a fumble just happening. I might have to kick the t.v.

[BurbankKarl]
