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.

My brother in law can tape a program on a different channel while watching a football game on this one. I've always held him up in admiration. LOL

I hope he dies soon, I want to leave work and go home to clean house!

[tioga]

And I am hoping the news of his death is being withheld from us.

[mewzilla]

CNN seems to be hoping the news of the handover may not be accurate.

Paging CNN's advertisers...

[do the dhue]

heard that too, but nothing more.

Seeing those pix remind me of a few videos that circulated showing actual torture events done by Saddam and his 2 sons.

Sadly, we need to see them to be reminded of how horrific this man and his sons actually were.

Looks like we just pulled an ace out of the deck:

If the Iraqis are interested in avoiding that Muslim holiday, they'll need to hang him before the sun sets on Baghdad tomorrow. That would be 8 am Saturday Central Time.

it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to remain alert in this country.

Hate to be paranoid, but REALLY hate to be unprepared.

Clean house?? Trying to prevent breast cancer?

I predict FOX will be the first in announcing swing time for Sadaam.

CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, et al will be in commercials and tell us afterwards.

Thus, we'll have "Hanging Saddams" instead of "Hanging Chads"? Maybe Algore will demand a recount?

Okay, Algore, I'll do the count again:

Dead Saddams: 1
Live Saddams: 0

Do you want another recount?

[sazerac]

Good! At least a million and a half people would be alive now instead of dead if it wasn't for Saddam.

CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, et al will be in commercials mourning and tell us afterwards.

Ok, so that's Abu Graihb prison gallows. I had this picture of him hanging outside, like in one of those westerns, with the whole town there watching, at sunset.

Maybe they'll get a tax break if he's dead before January 1st (or am I thinking about marriage??)
