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..."

That's a lie, as well as an attempt to get me involved in a long, drawn-out debate. I don't respond to either of those kinds of things. I comment on all kinds of threads and you know it.

Swing out the old year, ring in the new. Ironic day : 2 former presidents : a funeral for a good and decent man and a necktie party for an evil fiend.

Here's something to make it ever more simple: pick a side: either us or the Democrats.

Second that. I am grateful for this President's hard resolve against so many that are now trying to call his remaining two years unproductive. I see he'll have some huge challenges ahead but I do not see him caving into the dems and hang-wringers losing their nerve,if they had any in the first place. I am still saddened about Rumsfeld and kind of bitter over some losses, Santorum as one...but I believe this President will not be deterred. God Bless Him!

That's not a twist either. You've said similar things before regarding relevance.

Your bullying does not work me on me.

You posted to me first and tried to bait me. Please ignore me and my posts. They're of no concern to you.

Then why do you continue to POST TO ME, even after I've told you your posts bore me to death?

Take a hint, FGS.

I still want to know why and how the guy that mixed the chemicals that were used in the first WTC bombing was able to fly to Baghdad. You didn't get in or out of Iraq without Saddam's permission.

Couldn't agree more. Someone earlier mentioned that Johnny Cash song about hanging. I can't for the life of me remember it now.

I am sickened and saddened by what you just wrote. The GOP cannot exist without conservatives. Whether conservatives can exist without the GOP remains to be seen.

Am I correct in assuming that you are not a conservative and are just using this conservative website for purposes of your own?

If they're like me, they're sick of it and are more intersted in DOING something...

Anything, but by all means do something for heaven's sake...even if it is meaningless, it will make you feel good...such are the virtues of being a liberal.
