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..."

The poster in the top photo says "Death Death to Saddam".

That was one of the Iraqis' chants at the rally we held in October 2002 with some of these same Iraqis, including Imam al Hussainy (center of third photo.)

Listening to CNN, they seemed to have brushed off Saddam's death and have moved on to anxiously awaiting the 3,000th U.S. death in Iraq. Only three to go, they tell us.

It makes me sick.It is like they are counting down the ball on New Years in Times Square!

I think that you have grossly misjudged the values and objectives of those conservatives whom you denigrate.

Well, I don't; and there are many, many people here who agree with me.

With this crowd, it never drops. Their agenda of drumming conservatives out of the GOP will continue here as long as the proprietor allows it.

Good .. then everyone will know for sure he is dead

Stupid questions but why do they have to wear a hood? Is it because the living will freak out at the sight of the eyes rolling around?

The part you don't get is it's better to be PART of something than all alone; like I said, the GOP will moderate and find conservative Democrats who are scared of the freaks on the left to join with to save this country.

How will moderates save this country? More tax oppression for "moderate" health care freebies?
Will we all be forced to join the cult of political correctness and study the Holy book of the politically correct?

I know; it's ghoulish; I don't want to belong or believe in anything that depends on American deaths to keep in power.

I'm a moderate; do you think I want you to join a cult?

Sooner or later people have to decide if you want SOMETHING or NOTHING.

Apparently nothing suits you.

""This is a regime that practises systematic rape against the female victims. This is a regime that will drag in a man's wife, daughter or other female relative and repeatedly rape her in front of him." And if he has fled the country, it will send him the video."

"B-b-but, the Iraqis don't even have electricity, and they're getting blown up and blahblahblah!" /DUmmies

He got off easy with hanging.
