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..."
CNN .. Dr. Rubai (sp?) just said on CNN that he was cursing at the end .. and cursing the western world. Payback's a FRitch, isn't it?
I'm watching FNC -- thanks for the cnn report.
Saddam Hussein (R) prepares to take Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez for a ride around Baghdad in this August 10, 2000
OH you! LOL
lol..good one.
Ooops ... how bad. I meant Marine.
I'm sure they do, but I haven't seen the Dearborn Iraqis for a while. I'm still in touch with some D.C. area Iraqis who are against terrorists.
I am pretty sure he was defiant to the end. Maybe we'll read more about his last hours and minutes in the next day or so and be able to know more and speculate for ourselves if he had a change of heart, but I'm betting he was defiant to the end.

ROTFLMSO...that is SO much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the things I admire about you most, Howlin, is how well you handle criticism. You mostly shrug it off, while I get mad and pound the keyboard.
I need to learn from you.
1990 picture of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, center seated, with his family. At the back row, from left, are Hussein Kamel, Saddam Kamel, his wife and Saddam Hussein's daughter Rana, Saddam's eldest son Odai, Hussein Kamel's wife and Saddam Hussein's eldest daughter Raghad. In her arms is her son Ali, the President's first grandson. At fare right is Hussein's younger son Qusai
ROFLMAO............oh, well, just because you made a MISTAKE with the DETAILS of the accusation you made against me, no reason to asssume it's not true, right?
Quite a good job there, bud.
Yes, he is, but EVentually, he might give up and slink away. :-)
I think I just heard an Iraqi witness to the execution on CNN verify that people danced around Saddam's body after the execution. Did anyone else hear this?
ROFLOL!!!
Reading too fast with bad glasses, I suspect. Not drinking yet. Sorry for the misinterpretation.
I'm going to take a powder because this stuff is way off subject and this should be a happy celebration. It's just that the needling of consistent, considerate conservatives on this site just gets old in a hurry and doesn't seem to be going away! Oh well...
Some people have a need to define themselves in terms of what others are not.
That's pretty telling to me.
