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'll keep trying, though. I'll still be a happy person anyway.

Please stop trying .. having Nancy & Harry in charge of Congress was more then enough damage done

Or, in the very least, let them wake up with a bloody horse's pig's head under their blankets some fine morning.

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!

Couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you. In short, our candidates (and government by inference) are the best that money can buy.

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

"Sticks and stones....."

This is just a web site, and we're conversing on a machine. To me, this computer is just a toy. I don't take what's said here seriously.
I'll vote as I choose. That's the rules. That's how voting works in the U.S.

Yep Sir, we're in a position to make them some "nice" offers with some strong hints that "they can't refuse".

That's NOT likely.....I haven't been here recently! :-)

As a matter of fact, I haven't been here much of this year. We've been traveling quite a lot and even though we travel with two laptops, I really do NOT get on line all that often, when we are away.

I am totally confident that it happened because of this.

Good for you. I will not believe this until I see proof.

Thank God one more murderous tyrant is gone! Thank God for President Bush and our magnificent armed forces! And thank God for the voters and patriotic supporters who keep their eyes on the ball and don't quit in the face of adversity. One more down, several more to go.

DITTO, JIM! Well said, and oh, so true. Tyrants and terrorists everywhere should be having nightmares tonight about retributions and ropes.

It has ALWAYS been this way; though not really the way that YOU put it!

And with the advent of T.V., it has gotten to be much more of a popularity contest, based on looks and perceived conclusions, much of which have nothing at all to do with the case.

Still and all, from the time of Washington on down, Joe Shmoe never has a chance.

What a bunch of CRAP.

I Swear CNN is in bed with the enemy.

Can anyone imagine someone in the FREE WORLD running such a photo tribute graphic, "ADOLF HITLER 1889", after they had discovered his body?

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

Absolutely. I'll do what I feel is best for the country, and support conservatives.
I don't consider you the national expert. I hope you don't mind.

"Back to the real world. Finally. I am humbled and honored by those that give something or everything for this great country."

I like the statement on your profile page. Are those your words or did you quote someone?

It shouldn't surprise you, since it's none of your business.
