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 don't mind at all; I'm not interested in putting myself before the country by agreeing with you.

Please stop trying ..

No way. I'm conservative to the core. I'll always be conservative. That's the way it is.

Great Christmas, NO snow at all, warm weather, I did Christmas dinner ( and a few others ), and I can't find a lot of the floors here, because of the toys! LOL

Don't get me wrong, the toys DO get put away, but out they come, first thing the next morning. :-)

I wish you and yours THE best ever NEW YEAR!

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

Then why did YOU bring it up?

This will NOT make KIM JONG IL happy.

The USA toppled one of the three countries in the Axis of Evil (Kim's country also being a member) and the UNITED STATES SUCCEEDED IN HAVING IT'S FORMER DICTATOR EXECUTED.

Then why did you post it for the entire world to see? No one asked you, you volunteered that bit of information.

My son, a U. S. Marine, is home for Christmas and the New Year after serving in Iraq. His tour is done, but he saw and experienced things he shouldn't have had to. I prayed thousands of times, "Please spare his life." And, he is alive. Saddam is dead. My son is alive.

Your last two sentences speak volumes, glad2bdad. I walked your walk and your words could have been lifted right out of my heart. God bless your son, and your family.

And with the advent of T.V., it has gotten to be much more of a popularity contest, based on looks and perceived conclusions,

Well, what your saying is: Obama's got a good chance 'cause he's getting attention. And if this, and this alone, is what determines our leadership, may I make a prediction? We're screwed.

Have we, as Americans, enough 'rope' to hang the selection process that may be the source of our own doom?

A conservative who thinks socialists like Pelosi & Reid being elected is good for the country because we need to be cleansed??

No thanks .. I'll pass on your kind of conservative

I am not what makes me feel best?

Knowing that the Butcher is now in Hell or knowing that the libs, MSM and the dems are all crying their guts out.

Then stop whining about what you don't get.

Whining? I'm pretty happy. We'll get the House and Senate back if we move to the right where we belong. I'm not worried.
I thought maybe a good debate would help pull you out of your PMS. If you let out your rage tonight, you'll feel better tomorrow.
I'm still a conservative, though. I'm serious about that part. Nothing you type tonight can ever change that, but you can keep bitching at me if it makes you feel better.
You've only got about 15 minutes left, though. It's late here, and I'm going to get some sleep.

In answer to the usual crop of calumny that your crowd is becoming so adept at spewing around this place.
