'I watched Saddam die' [Details!]

"I hanged Saddam in Baghdad just to watch him die."

[Salamander]

"GAAAAAAACK!"

[Tailback]

The guards chanted the name of the Shi’ite firebrand cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.

Great, I'm so happy that the guys high enough in the food chain in Iraq to off Saddam are mookie lovers. Really puts a cherry on top of the whipped cream that is the cluster*uck created by our politicians. When is that Iranian sock puppet mookie gonna get whacked?

"Rosebud"

[Ignatz]

Saddam Hussein’s executioners were disguised with black balaclavas.

"Let me hear your balaclavas ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm"

I have it on very good authority that he said- "Wait a minute; Annan, Livingstone and Clark said not to worry! I am supposed to be set free and returned to powURKE!!!!"

[Enchante]

Saddam's last words, translated from gurgling Arabic:

"Ramsey Clarke, you're FIRED!!"

[Maynerd]

The guards chanted the name of the Shi’ite firebrand cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. “Who is Moqtada?”

That is disturbing. Apparently, the guards believe Mookie's their man. It's bad news that Mookie's a rock star in the inner sanctum of the Iraqi government. I fear we have won a battle but lost the war (in Iraq).

You have a keen insight into the way things are shaping up in Iraq.

"Yet more "last words" from Saddam. I'm going to start making a list of all his "last words." Some of these "witnesses" have to be lying."

Some more last words from an unofficial source who claims Saddam's very last words were, "Bungee cord! Right?"

[Lurker]

In Tikrit, by the way.

Lat & Lon?

[Allegra]

Lat & Lon?

I wish I knew. North of Baghdad. I'll bet they're not saying specifically where the burial site is.

I have friends who work at Camp Speicher and they're going to try to find out, but this may end up being the best kept secret in Iraq.

Then again...

[uncle fenders]

I heard his last word was

"Plastic"

[Lurker]

but this may end up being the best kept secret in Iraq.

Well then probably the best thing to do is to just 'water' the entire town of Tikrit from about 1500 ft AGL out the door of a Blackhawk.

Would it be considered 'insensitive' if somebody collected buckets of it, managed to get it in the air, and then accidentally kicked it over as some enterprising air crew was winging their way over Tikrit?

You better check on that, just in case it ever happens.

Wouldn't want anyone to get yelled at or anything.

"The guards chanted the name of the Shi’ite firebrand cleric Moqtada al-Sadr."

Another Iraqi based butcher responsible for ordering the murders of American and British troops, who should have been with Saddam.

[GOP Poet]

Love it!

[Silly]

Thanks. I had already started working on it when I realized the top picture is really of the journalist Rita Crowley.

Who knew they graduated together?!

[Major_Risktaker]

Last word: "Rosebud."

Last words: "Should have never attacked Kuwait."

[bannie]

I wish you weren't right.
