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..."
I'll cry profusely for his victims, but pray for him? Not a chance. God forgive me for hoping he burns in Hell and his flesh drips from his ravaged body for all Eternity!
It was filmed, so....
Oh that's great! LMAO!!!
Yes, I certainly hope Im-a-nut-job is considering the cockiness of saddam and where it got him!!
GREAT IDEA!
My thoughts exactly
I guess Saddam was not as tough as his lawyer expected. He said that Saddam would go to the gallows with a smile on his face and no hood.
I am sick to death of the talking heads period.
bttt
Too bad many posters here on this thread aren't thanking GW too.
Now Cooper is asking his guest (didn't catch the name) if it's a fair question to ask if the Iraqi people are better of without Saddam in charge
The guy (didn't catch the name)says this is a time to remember all the people hurt by Saddam
I'm sort of the same way; I don't believe anybody anymore except Brit Hume and Michael Barone.
He must be trebling.
Like the fate of Wiliam Wallace, they drew out his intestines while he was still alive, then cut off his limbs one by one. They made him live through out the whole process.
Saddam had it good!.....
This must be earth shattering for AC.
