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..."

Think they spent enough years in college?

No, a dozen more might 'help' but I doubt it.

Yes, Saddam's regime was wicked. But, a hanging death like this is a sad commentary on man.



No, this execution is an example of Biblical justice. Executing a despot and killer allows God to deal with him, for he is too lost for us as mere humans. One reason the death penalty has fallen into disfavor, is that we dont allow God to dispense justice. People have forgotten the afterlife unless they think of a sweet and cloud covered heaven.

Stamp yo hands and clap yo feet
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Just direct your feet
To the happy side of the street

Can't you hear that pitter pat
And that hippy-hop is your step
Now life won't be so sweet
On the Sunni side of the street

CNN can show our military being MURDERED but they are going to watch the video FIRST and decide if they can show the rest of us mere mortals those 'horrifying' photos of Saddam getting his justice according to AC. PUKE!

I wonder how many DUMB pills Alan took today for tonight's show. Some of his statements and questions were just totally ridiculous. I swear, one of these days I'm going to call Sean's show and ask that very question.

"Wish he'd been tried for all his crimes..."

The problem with that is that he would still be on trial in 2020, and would have been sentenced to death multiple times for his atrocities.

Um, yeah, thanks. They were debating whether Hitler should have faced the death penalty had he lived to the end of the war and been captured.

I knew I'd catch heat for offering it up, but that's what makes us better people and what Christ commands us to do, praying for the sinners and for the souls of evil in the hopes that they repent.

DEBATING? It's obvious that he would've. Many Nazis did.
