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..."
LOL! Great TAG LINE!!!
What do you mean? Say what you mean. What was gained from Saddam's execution was justice, and that is in and of itself a "gain." If you mean by continuing to fight the fight in Iraq, than you need to consider the alternatives of a series of bad choices, and defend yours, with specificity. Otherwise, you are part of the problem IMO, rather than part of the solution. IMO, soundbite posts about Iraq policy are noise. The issue deserves much more reflection.
Spot on!
But I have voted (almost) a strict GOP ticket forever. Is that not sufficient, or should I also prostrate myself annually before Robert Dole's image?

The Fox reporter said there was a video camera as well as a still camera in the chambers where Saddam was hanged.
If you push the Conservatives out of the Republican party, You can call them yourselves. You'll be responsible for their rise to power. Liberal Republicans cannot win an election alone.
Thanks .. Just sent my email :0)
Troll thou art!
The Fruited Plain is great, I agree. There is no reason to be unhappy in it, when all is said and done, except due to our own demons, other then briefly when personal unfortunate events demoralize us for a bit, before we rebound.
Good. Send more!
Mine mentioned Eason Jordan admitting CNN covered up for Saddam. They owe us!
"Prostrate" and "Robert Dole" in the same sentence is a near-miss double-entendre... Heh.
Yep.
Hey babe!
