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.

Saddam will be allowed to make a final statement if he wishes.

Q: Saddam, if you could do it all over, what would you do differently?

A: Differently? Next time, no more Mr. Nice Guy! (recycled Hitler joke I learned in the 1950's)

[Rte66]

Did you do that?

[doug from upland]

What an evil country we are. We shut down the rape rooms. We shut down the torture chambers. We freed 50 million people. We got rid of Saddam's sons. And now, we hang the guy who was responsible for the deaths of 1.3 million innocents. What is wrong with us?

"People will not believe he is dead without at least a photo."

Good idea!

Lets give CNN a break...after all, they're about to lose a dear friend.

John Anderson, Apopka Florida

[dinoparty]

True.

(I was referring to the photo of the gassed Kurds, though.)

[Churchillspirit]

Perhaps he has been handed off technically to the Iraqi authorities, but still being held for execution at the Cropper facility.

[romanesq]

CNN can kiss you know what. Wolf Blitzer says video of a sniper shooting an American soldier is newsworthy.....

Well what do they have to say about a tyrant's hanging. All they can muster is moaning and gnashing of teeth. How 'bout some video Wolfie?

Expletives now deleted.

I only wanted to make sure you saw it...nothing else ;-)

[NonValueAdded]

Hey Howlin, you still doing the "live thread" ping list?

Happy New year!

CNN:

2 execution sites are being prepared. One at a heavily fortified location inside the green zone, one at an outside location.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Q: Why did Saddam quit drinking?
A: It made him mean. (Another recycled Hitler joke)

Someone has got to say it after it happens, so may as well be me..beating the rush..."Saddam is "well hung" ;-) LMAO

>>2 execution sites are being prepared. One at a heavily fortified location inside the green zone, one at an outside location. <<

Wonder if that's why Allegra stopped posting? Maybe we're going to get an eyewitness report??

[Earthdweller]

"I WANT TO BE THE FIRST TO PREDICT THAT THE CONSPIRACY THEORIST WILL SOON BE CLAIMING THAT SADDAM WAS NOT ACTUALLY EXECUTED"

Oh get over yourself. Someone has probably already wrote a book about it. The NY times will have it on their best sellers list by next week and Micheal Moore is casting the "documentary" as we speak.

[Luke Skyfreeper]

Iraqi officials have said that Saddam's final moments will be videotaped by the government.

"We will video everything," al Rubaie said. "All documentation will be videoed. Taking him from his cell to the execution is going to be videoed, and the actual execution will be documented and videoed."

Good! Thank you, Iraqi government!
