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.

Oh, the carnage! Worse than a Mel Gibson movie with blood freely flowing. (/sarcasm off)

I gotta say it's disappointing that ABC news led with this story rather than Ford's funeral.

Speaking of daughters, is it true that Saddam wouldn't see his daughter even after she asked to see him?

Just looking for an excuse to drop this info into the thread and thought you might find it interesting too.
The band, Stuck Mojo released a vid that got them banned at youtube until we stormed the bulwarks. Check this out.

Also Stuck Mojo is up for anti-idiotarian of the year at LGF

Any pinging or such that anyone thinks would be appropriate would be great... ;)

Not to disrespect Ford but he is going to have "funerals" from now until Tuesday. As far as I know this hanging will be over fairly quickly.

First there were the deaths of James Brown and Gerald Ford. Now there is Saddam's execution. This had to be planned ahead of time to take away from the first 100 hours of the new Democratic Congress with the first female Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

If they weren't so STUPID (and cowardly) they MIGHT be harmful. Whipping their butts would be like swatting at nats.

"I posted two days ago that it would never happen. Okay, looks like I'll be eating my words."

I was thinking they moved up the date after reading my prediction from last July. (Scroll just a little.)

This whole event is quite surreal.
It is almost as if it is a weird dream, especially when one imagines what is happenning at the scene.

[NonValueAdded]

Whould that be a whole heep of pinging, Uriah?

Larry King Dead trying to save Saddamite, talking to a "human rights" lawyer in Rome feeling all verklempt.

oh to have Al jazeera tonight?

I heard Al jazeera were going to launch an interactive service, until they realised that getting viewers to press their little red button might blow them up. (This gag probably only works in the uk)

Five days of funerals. The stock markets closed, kind of sort of, three states, and the media saying it's modest in keeping with Ford's wishes????????????????

[Humidston]

Our media (CNN) can show American soldiers being shot, but we can't see Saddam being hanged??

In olden days American hangings were done in the town square. People brought their kids to watch.

Today we must be protected(?)

RIDICULOUS.

They're so sad. A perpetual font of ignorance and naivete.

"Speaking of daughters, is it true that Saddam wouldn't see his daughter even after she asked to see him?"

So I've heard. He probably doesn't want her to remember him like that. If she doesn't see it, deep down, she won't really believe it. Bastrich might have one or two human cells, after all.

The DUnces ought to be glad that peloosi's 100 hours will be unnoticed.
