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..."

Rudy, the pro-hovverisatoin, cuck the babies out of the women candidae, meanwhile stripping the second amendnet.

It's the 2nd amendment, We'd be better off if he stripped #18 than #2, numerically speaking, at least!!

You cannot possibly be serious; if you hate it now, just wait until the liberals you helped elect get done: they're going to reinstate everything everything we've accomplished; maybe it wasn't FAST enough for you, but you can kiss the small changes good bye.

You don't get it. Without conservatives, you support a democrat win. It's the moderate RINOs that have to change. If we could change them and get them to stand for something, we could get our country back almost overnight.

If you send the conservatives packing

Send them packing? We've been pandering to them for YEARS and all we get is bitching and moaning about what they DON'T get.

If you don't stand for something, you don't stand for anything.

I stand for my country, first and foremost. Not my own personal agenda.

I don't necessarily buy into that argument. A Moderate Republican is more likely to attract the moderate democrats and might be able to bring more people together in the final analysis.

Isn't about time time to set-up a petty argument thread and turn this one back into a celebration party?

That was my original point. Good luck.

Every time a tyrant dies
The flames of freedom once more rise
For though the evil has its day
The day will come come when they must pay

"The fix is in." ?

HUNH?

Candidates with NO real backing, no BIG BUCKS, and little support, don't win elections; let alone primaries. Really, it IS as simple as that!

I'm sure you didn't see it because I'm not around so much these days, but I was accused of not being a Bush supporter today. If you know me, you know exactly how ironic that is! LOL

I guess it just depends on your point of view, doesn't it?

You're so sure you're right and the rest of us are wrong, you're the one who doesn't vote, not us.

Thanks to the likes of you we got Clinton and now Harry and Nancy.

I'm not supporting Democrats, it's you, dolt.

It's the moderate RINOs that have to change. If we could change them and get them to stand for something, we could get our country back almost overnight.

Try to comprehend this: they do NOT agree with your strident, tunnel vision views; they don't march lockstep with you in a lot of things.

They are more open to COMPROMISE, unlike you.

So now tell me why THEY are wrong because THEY don't agree with YOU.

BTW, I am considered a moderate RINO on this forum and it pi$$e$ me of that people like you continually insinuate I don't STAND for anytyhing because I don't agree with you.

Not that you care about stuff like that; you're interested in only YOUR agenda.

I haven't posted much lately, but I just have to comment tonight on the hanging death of Saddam. FINALLY! Finally, justice has been served. Saddam is dead. We've waited years to hear those words, and it was worth the wait. God bless the veterans of Operation Desert Storm, and God bless the veterans, and active-duty men and women of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I also hope and pray that the families of those whose loved ones were murdered by Saddam and his regime will rejoice and find peace.
