You need to read this and watch the footage on TV again...

With a blank expression, Saddam refused a black hood - but he did so with a shake of his head that seemed more distracted than defiant.

Then he appeared to agree to let one of his executioners tie a black scarf around his neck. The Times reported that his guards explained the rope could cut off his head, and offered to protect his neck with the scarf.

In the televised video, Saddam stood stoically as the noose was slipped over his head. The noose was tightened. Then the Iraqi TV footage ended.

But the camera phone video, broadcast in part on Al-Jazeera and aired in full on Arabic-language Web sites, continued.

I found this interesting...


~SNIP~
Saddam's half brother Barzan Ibrahim and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, the former chief justice of the Revolutionary Court, were originally scheduled to be hanged along with their former leader.

Iraqi officials, though, decided to reserve the occasion for Saddam alone.

There is plenty of information if you search for it on the science of hanging. The loop of the hanging noose merely acts as the fulcrum, and when the body reaches the end of the drop, the noose tightens--yes, but it causes the large heavy knot to very rapidly slap the side of the head causing the spinal cord to separate, the theory being, instant death.

"The internationalist left is still against us for it and the muzzies are pissed they did it on Eid al Adha...."

That's just media driven B.S. It doesn't prevent the Jihadists from killing, no so called muzzie 'holy day' does. It never stopped Mohammad either, and guess whose example they follow?

Bit of a drama queen aren't ya?

Sure some have gone heavy into the glee thing...if you don't like it - don't participate! There's plenty else to do and participate in. I'm sorry that I'm not a "real Christian" like you, so full of herself that you feeeeeel free to criticize and impose your sensibilities onto others.

I imagine most of us fall short of your mark as Conservatives, too. You're so much better than the rest of us, you aren't compelled to practice the tolerance that "mere" Conservatives. As such, FreeRepublic was likely a real drag for you, wasn't it?

So don't let us stop you from seeking out those (and only those) who truly deserve your attention and companionship.

As my pappy used to say..."Don't let the door hit ya..."

Thanks for your ping from the other thread. I accidentally followed you on this thread and enjoyed the conversations. I am also "sure" he is really, truly dead, but it is wise to be skeptical.

Exactly. They know very well how to take advantage of our anti American leftist media and the entire left for that matter. The RATS don't care about anything but regaining power, even if it means turning victory into defeat as was done in Vietnam, and offering up millions of Iraqi's who DO want democracy and freedom to take hold in their country rather than radical Islam, as victims, just as the RATS did to the south Vietnamise.

"My neighbor was telling me this afternoon that he doesn't believe it was the real Saddam who was executed. The real Saddam was whisked away to a seaside town in Morocco or Algeria where he will spend the rest of his life in annonymity."

Ask your neighbor, "Why?" "For what purpose?"

Check out post 11, does that look like they faked the hanging to you?

By the way, how's Elvis doing? He's just back from an exhausting tour of the Galaxy but he is relaxing comfortably at area 51. P.S., E.T. gives us his regards.

They gave him enough slack in the rope and used a large hangmans knot. In this picture you can tell that they almost ripped his head off (notice the blood on the back of his neck).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v47/dallas59/Post%20pics/saddam.jpg

That large hangmans knot slams hard against the head causing his head to slam backwards and to the right while at the same time the rope tightens around his neck due to the free fall and his weight.

He was dead before 3 minutes had passed.
