No matter what, the moonbats are going to find a conspiracy in whatever happened. There is no pleasing the fanatics and/or left-wingers.
And the same protections extend to allies of the United States, especially to our first and best cousins in Australia!
The whole event was handled more like a lynching than an execution.
And there is a difference.
We are AMERICANS. Let the Eurotrash be "western" and foppish.
Whether hung by a mob or a professional hangman, justice was served, no matter what the Eurofags say.
True enough, but providing video to back up the conspiracy will only make it that much more accepted. The excerpt I saw shows what is very likely Sadr himself standing behind Saddam as the noose is put around his neck. They are showing a picture of Mookie with his uncovered face alonside the picture of the masked individual. He is the same size, has the same lips, mustache, nose and glass eyeball. I would bet that virtually every Sunni Iraqi will believe it is him and that will confirm for them that there is no hope in the Iraqi government as it now stands. If that happnes, trying to maintain that illusion is pointless. It quite likely is pointless, regardless. The Sunnis will never place trust in a government dominated by Shia, and certainly not if it is so influenced by a zealot like Sadr that he is able to participate in the execution of Saddam.
Their media is so full of refuse, what's the point of "evidence".
What specifically was objectionable about the execution? Did something happen aside from the verbal exchange?
Why do you disagree? Why are you buying the left wing crap about the mocking of Saddam rather than focus on the historical event which is about the death of one of the worst brutal mass murderers in history.
The whole event was handled more like a lynching than an execution.
So?
The man killed over one million of his own people and tortured and imprisoned many more.
Agree 100%.
The man killed over one million of his own people and tortured and imprisoned many more.
When my hubby was Iraq in 03-04 he saw several burial grounds of Saddams mass murder....according to him, Saddam should have been beheaded and his head put on a spike in the middle of Baghdad.....
I totally agree. Also please tell your husband "Thank you for your service", it was him, all of our brave troops, and our Commander in Chief who made it possible for this evil man Saddam to face justice and got what he deserved.
Bump
its not "left wing crap" - its what we saw and heard with our own eyes and ears. we were posting about this before any "official media reaction" to it.
the execution was botched, there is no other honest way to describe it. the trial was handled well - had the execution gone as well as the trial, no one would have said a word.
What do y'mean, "So?"?
I'm not defending Saddam. But the end does not justify the means, or the manner.
As I also said, "There is a difference."
The episode appeared to be a bunch of schoolboys ganging up on the defenseless bully.
Democracy demands civility.
So flame away; I'm goin' to bed.
nonsense.
imagine if the Tookie Williams execution involved men in KKK hoods chanting the n-word as he was marched into the death chamber. would you have accepted that? of course not.
"Even execution should have a certain dignity to it, or it is little more than a banana republic mugging."
I reiterate:
What's making me sick is the whining going on about how those bad guards taunted poor old Saddam before opening the trap door and getting rid of him. After what the Shi'ites suffered at the hands of Saddam, what would anyone expect, that they not be overjoyed the tyrant is dead? They were vying for the job of being the ones to get to hang him. I would have tried to get a few verbal shots in too before offing him. That's the human reaction. Those that hung him weren't automatoms. Some of their families suffered horribly at Saddam's hands of gov't. Torture, death. And people are complaining because they mouthed off for a couple of minutes to the one that caused all their grief? And of course there are the attempts to somehow link this behavior to the U.S., how we bumped Saddam off too quickly. Like waiting for some more time to pass would have helped how? The Sunni's were going to be PO'd regardless of when Saddam was hung. So, let them be angry. They are already, and they are causing most of the bombings of our troops and of the Shi'a. I'm amazed at the restraint the Shi'a have showed. My instinct would be to try to stomp the Sunni's that have been causing most of the insurrection, into the ground. And, by the way, I don't like the Shi'a any better than the Sunni's, but at the moment it is the Sunni's, backed by the fundamentalists from Saudi Arabia, and some from Syria, that have caused many of the problems. The Iranians are causing trouble backing Al Sadr and his militias in response. But it's the Sunni's that have started most of the sectarian violence, and now that their main man Saddam has bit the dust, they better catch on that they are on the wrong end of a losing proposition now. Either they cut a deal or they will go down in the long run.
