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.

"Now some idioit is on Fox saying Saddam did not get a fair trial. Its like a Bank Robber caught on the way out of the bank expecting a 50-50 chance of getting off in court for the trial to be fair.
The only way for Saddam to of gotten off would of been for the trial to of been truly rigged.!"

Does that idiot on Fox believe that Saddam's victims got a fair trial?

Some people are deserved to be depressed over this. They were rooting for a wrong guy.

Reminds me of some old sci fi movie: "If only we could have studied them, learned from them...."

One of the "Aliens" movies, or "Independence Day"?

Hello FRiend,

Fox just went off our local talk radio station, bringing on Savage. I kid you not, the first words out of that freak's mouth that I heard: "Why the rush to execute Saddam?"

Off goes the radio....

I'm glad I'm not the only one that wants to kick the tv in.

Saddam Hussein executed in Iraq

Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been executed by hanging at an unspecified location in Baghdad.

Iraqi TV said the execution took place just before 0600 local time (0300GMT).

Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death by an Iraqi court on 5 November after a year-long trial over the 1982 killings of 148 Shias in the town of Dujail.

Two co-defendants, Saddam Hussein's half-brother Barzan al-Tikriti and former Iraqi chief judge Awad Hamed al-Bandar, were also executed.

"Criminal Saddam was hanged to death," state-run Iraqiya television announced, as patriotic music and images of national monuments were broadcast.

A scrolling headline read: "Saddam's execution marks the end of a dark period of Iraq's history."

The TV station said Saddam Hussein's half-brother and the former chief justice of the Revolutionary Court were also hanged.

No.

Saddam's body will be lying-in-state at CNN headquarters in Atlanta.

AAARGH!!! ABC just pulled a HEIDI!! Jeopardy is on here in LA and just as the music finished for the Final Jeopardy answer and Alex was ready to give the final question to determine the winner - - - ABC News breaks in with the announcement of Saddam's death!

Shirley, you can't be series!

The "Heidi Bowl" was a long time ago. I suppose this reaffirms that those that will not learn from history are indeed doomed to repeat it.

Nice graphics :)

Savage said that????

[LkRonkguy]

No surprise that he "Came Apart". He is just another coward in a long line of cowards that our brave military must confront.

[Txsleuth]

The longer these shows are going on tonight...the more people show up to say how bad this is!!

There is one guy on CNN, a Dep. Amb. to the UN from Iraq....who seems genuinely pleased..but, the American reporters are just all sure that this is going to SPLIT the Iraqis apart MORE!!! LOL

jeez louise, can they kill each other worse than they have been? I don't think so.

[Rembrandt]

There are probably a lot of guys in the Tenderloin area of San Francisco bemoaning the death of Saddam, toasting each other as they say "he was well hung."

[Jezebelle]

I bet there were no American flags being waved at that Dearborn celebration.

[Solamente]

Maybe Sadamm got the Father O'Brien rap on the way ...

Drudge has two sirens going!

Fox coverage is terrible, post execution. CNN much better, like it or not.

[jveritas]

Me too.
