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..."
Do you have a screen cap of that? I just saw an upright US flag in the background...maybe CNN changed angles to cover that up, or perhaps it was a temporary error in waving the flag?
ROTFLOL !
may he rot in hell
To the idiots at DU, showing the killing of our America military personal is "Fair and just. It's something all Americans should witness". Showing the hanging of the butcher of Baghdad is "Pure bloodthirsty barbarism!"
Democrats are so weird. They're too stupid to realize how stupid they really are.
Saddam had a choice of 72 Helen Thomas look-alike virgins and 72 eunuchs.
Saddam Hussein chose the 72 eunuchs.
Oh it's fair alright, Andi, but quite STUPID!
Yes they are - and it's the first time I have ever watched Anderson Cooper.
I wouldn't call this the victory, but it sure as hell is good progress.
SECONDED!
Well, you've all banded together to teach the GOP a lesson; I sure hope you're happy with the results you've brought about.
Something WE have learned though is that you all cannot be counted on when the going gets rough. The GOP will rise again -- and this time you won't be calling the shots. It is, after all, the Republican Party, not the Conservative Party.
Just today I was listening to a report about Gerald Ford and the Helsinki Accords -- and how the conservatives were against THAT too........and how they all sat home and got Jimmy Carter elected.
And I was trying to remember just WHAT is was that "real conservatives" haven't been against. I couldn't think of anything.
We're just as tired of you all as you all are of us; only thing is we've got a party.
But I much prefer the hang, draw, and quartered bit, with the final head on a pike, hung from Tower Bridge; which IS what traitors to the crown got, when they were English traitors. I also like old Vlad Tepis' way with Muslims and others....
GOOD-BYE SADDAM, FROM PLANET EARTH. You can't say this is WRONG. It's justice, no matter how you slice it. What a murdering thug he WAS. No more. JUSTICE. That's all. Without GWB, it never would have happened. THANK YOU GWB. NOW STEP UP TO THE PLATE ALREADY, IRAQ!!! It's NOW or NEVER.
Capture? Grenade.
Capture? Grenade
It's unanimous. The next time, throw the damn grenade in the hole and grab the large pieces for DNA testing.
Excellent post, Howlin!!!
You're right on all counts.
:) Amen. God Bless Rummy and our great troops too!
Was she wearing black, as she did the day after W was reelected?
The radical Islamists thrown out of Mogadishu and a man who's cruelty knows no bounds went to be judged by his maker. This is sure shaping up to be a good week. :)
Agreed, but why? Because FNC is Stuck on Stupid. Er, make that stuck on Greta - she holds the soccer moms in that wasted time slot.
Holy cow...well, I'm not surprised that they'd run that graphic...CNN and SH being in bed together, as they were/are...
