Saddam Video of Body after Hanging (New 1-8-07)
The Drop Broke Saddam's neck killing him instantly. At the executions following the Nuremberg Trials others were not so lucky.
THE TRIAL OF THE CENTURY--AND OF ALL TIME, PART TWO
"..The executions, in a brightly lighted prison gymnasium where three looming black wooden gallows had been erected, were witnessed by a handful of Allied military officers and eight journalists, one of whom, Kingsbury Smith of International News Service, wrote a famous newspaper article, "The Execution of Nazi War Criminals, 16 October 1946," based on his eyewitness observations. Although Smith discreetly omitted mentioning it, the experienced Army hangman, Master Sgt. John C. Woods, botched the executions. A number of the hanged Nazis died, not quickly from a broken neck as intended, but agonizingly from slow strangulation. Ribbentrop and Sauckel each took 14 minutes to choke to death, while Keitel, whose death was the most painful, struggled for 24 minutes at the end of the rope before expiring..."
Probably won't admit...
This is NOT good.
There's nothing like sweet American justice served on a red, white, and blue platter (or noose)!
This century's Hitler has been destroyed. A huge message has been solidified to the entire world tonight: step out of line and threaten America- you die. My thanks go to President Bush, the Iraqi people, and most importantly our mighty troops for making this at all possible.
God bless the USA- home and provider of liberty AND justice!
Right!
The perfect is not the enemy of the good. We have WAY too much at stake, Sir. None of us is without spot nor blemish.
First time I've posted to you, IIRC. Nice to make your acquaintance.
They said he was hung when they put this picture out...
That's pretty much how I see it as well. We have a problem with the quality of our candidates and officeholders. These "libertarians", etc. perhaps should try running for office as Republicans. The only hope for conservatism is to make the Republican Party both successful and conservative. Splitting off does nothing for this.
Boy, that Hugo has a big cranium.
I had the live thread up since 9am, and watched all day at work, and started singing "Ding, Dong, The Witch is dead" after he departed for H***. Now, I want to stay up and see the video....... and I'm due back at work in 6 hours!
CNN HAS SOME VIDEO NOW
Of the hanging?
Someone just told me on another thread the photos are coming SOON.
I think I have heard that twelve times tonight, thus far.
CNN showed video up to the point the rope was put around his neck .. then cut it off
see post 1053
Iraqi TV cut out at that point too
It's on CNN Now.
Fox NOW!
WOW!!!!!!
CNN is depressed
So have I and I don't think that I can wait it out. I'll just have to see them tomorrow/later today. Please don't get my yarn mixed up with yours and please save my place. I'm leaving you in charge of my knitting. :-)
The day this ugly little bastard is swinging will be a good day too.
