No more beating around the bush! “Let’s roll!” Send him back to hell where he came from

Second Reaction: Here come the appeals, the protests, the "Free Nidal" fanboys and fangirls, and the T-shirt franchise for the legal defense fund.
This man will never die.
That’s what he wanted so he can get the 72 virgins. why give him what he wants? but if they are going to do that, pour pig blood all over him and hang him, hang him high!
Firing Squad. No announcement, no press, just do it.
Then disappear his body like bin ladin’s — and report that only, after all is done.
Oh, I want to see that - which Powers Boothe pic?
Whoops, disregard, it’s been done.

I hope some enterprising young sailor on the carrier that dumped bin Laden into the sea, put some pork rinds in with the remains.
