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..."
Really? :-)
Sorry, we're the Party.
Why would the Muslims be hard hit? The man was not religious. My understanding was they considered him an infidal. He drank alcohol, he killed huge numbers of Shi'ite and Sunni Kurds. For all their faults, most Muslims wanted him dead as much or more than we did.
And let the blame conservative party commence. Even on this thread you guys can't give it a rest.
Thanks to the American troops and our allies, who made this possible.
Word is that Saddam's final request was for "more cowbell...."
Yeah, and the morons insisted he drop Rockefeller from the ticket. Had Ford kept him on the ticket, New York and Pennsylvania would have stayed in the GOP column. And it's not like Rockefeller was a viable Presidential candidate anymore, even by 1976.
I'm with you 100% Howlin.
Times may change .. but some things remain the same
No, you are not.
You WANT to be, but you're not.
The GOP is sick and tired of being blackmailed by you.
Next time, the GOP will move to the middle and attract voters freaked out by the crazy Democrats. Those willing to work together for SOMETHING rather than AGAINST everything will come together and take this country back from the freaks.
And then you'll be completley left out.
How'd that "no compromising" work out for you?
Nice picture!
Make that a hundred times shorter. It's a mixed bag. In any event, Saddam deserved to die. He earned it, many times over. The scales will never be balanced, but adding the pebble of his corpse to the scale to make them less unbalanced, is all that can be done at this point.
Back to the actual topic of this thread...
It's quite amusing to see the Libs cry all over this pathetic excuse for a human being. If you read some of the posts on DU, you'll see how they're turning him into a martyr already.
Apparently, Saddam was a great, kind leader. Who knew?
I wonder how long it will take before the MSM will call for a moment of silence. Or maybe for a street to be named after him?
And we're beginning to figure it out.
