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..."

I'm not certain it's fair to lable pragmatism as liberalism.

You weren't here for the '99-'2000 season and therefore know NOT of what you speak. In such cases, it is wise to keep silent. You didn't; ergo, nobody here, longer than you, need pay you the slightest bit of attention. ;^)

and FR seems to have an ever-growing crop of liberals to feed the fires.

What FR has grown is people who won't be bullied by the likes of you anymore.

We see you attack each and every candidate that's considering running -- and then they look at your track record.

As has been said many times before, if you're against them, they must be a winner.

Maybe you self proclaimed Conservatives should learn that not all of us walk lockstep with Pukeannan and his ilk. Conservatism has a wide variety of ideas but you guys are all thought nazis who label anyone who doesn't agree with you as liberals or some such nonsense.

I've never been a Buchananite. And a diversity of ideas is fine. Tell that to the harpies.

Saddamn getting executed is exactly why President Bush is a courageous man yet you guys give him less credit than your average moonbat.

I've supported the President's Iraq policy every step of the way.

Pray for W and Our Troops

I do. And my eldest son is one of them.

But don't you see, we HAVE to be liberals in order for them to feel morally superior to them.

Who was it that was talking about how much happier the Irqis were under Saddam?

A lot of the DUmmies tonight have been saying just that very thing. They're acting like Saddam was a saint. It's sick.

It's being reported by pretty much everyone and our President has already issued a statement on it.

Trust and verify. "Pretty much everyone" is bullshat. Our "esteemed" media needs to put up or shut up.

Common sense is clearly lacking these days on FR isn't it?

Some people refuse to see the big picture and why compromise is necessary to keep our country safe!

I vote for the "R" to Howlin!

Look at the alternative!!

I know what I'm reading here on a daily basis and it's getting worse all the time with us still two years out. I don't think you need a crystal ball to see what's happening already between moderate conservatives and very far right conservatives, and the inability to have a conversation without it deterioating.

You're seriously saying our own government would lie about something like that?

Congratualations on your son. Outside of the Iraq issue, nothing else matters to me.

Now back to Suddamn Hangsein. Cheer up it is one of the great days in history. Light up a cigar!

It certainly seems that way. I think you have to be practical and calculating, particularly this time around.
