Saddam Hussein Hanging LIVE Thread

[AVNevis]

Since it now seems very imminent, I decided that it was an appropriate time to start this up. Links to information and pictures (if we get them) can be posted here.

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Execution takes place at dawn a month after ex-leader's conviction for role in 148 killings in 1982. • FULL STORY

Stamp yo hands and clap yo feet
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Just direct your feet
To the sunny side of the street

Can't you hear that pitter pat
And that hippy-hop is your step
But life won't be so sweet
On the Sunni side of the street

You should listen to Greta on Foxnews. She had this defeatist idiot Mark Ginsberg who is basically saying that we should cut and run and Greta is getting all orgasmic about hearing it. I despise Greta and her show, I very rarely watch her silly program, but she always gets 2 hours spot in all important events. Foxnews is really dumb to give her 2 hours.

For some reason, this conservative talk show host, Rusty Humphries is saying that we shouldn't have let the Iraqis hang Saddam...that we should have gotten more information from him...and that this isn't going to "help us".

Then, he started reading posts from Daily Kos, saying negative things about Bush and the war...and said that those posts were a good indication of how Americans feel about this..

The world is going crazy, Howlin

Oh man, not another arm chair general (now on Fox) spouting the usual (and BS) conventional wisdom of the "mistake" of "getting rid of the Iraq Army when we invaded"....

What total CRAP! There was no "Iraq Army" as we know it. Mostly made up of forced service controlled by Baathtist thugs that ran on their own. They didn't "join the insurgency" as much as they just left.

I'm so sick and tired of these lies and no one contradicts them with facts. Of course, Greta wouldn't know a fact to use.

On and after 9/11, the Arabs of Dearborn were fairly vocal and public in their support for America. There were candlelight vigils and American flags draped all over Warren Avenue.

"I also believe that with him dead, Iraq will be calmer. Of course, Iran will not stop sending terrorists to Iraq, but those that were banking on Saddam returning to power (nobody said they were smart), will now have to face reality. Some will continue their violence, but others will not. Also, the citizens of Iraq will now be able to imagine a future without SH. That is BIG.

Today is a new day."

I agree with what you said here. I do think that the violence will increase in the short term, but I also think you pointed to something that will make that hard to keep up. The Iraqi people now seeing a future without Saddam. They are likely to feel the freedom now. I think they will be giving lots more tips, and they have been giving quite a few anyway. The tips will lead to more deaths and arrests of the terrorists. That will make terrorism harder to do.

Well put and I believe to be reality very soon.

Reminds me of some old sci fi movie: "If only we could have studied them, learned from them...."

[Txsleuth]

Everyone that Greta has had on looks like we just lost the war!!!

Marc Ginsberg is a LIB..and is always negative towards what WE cheer...LOL

But, her "two generals" were acting like Saddam's death was the signal we LOST.

Sheesh

[LkRonkguy]

Would have preferred Sean Hannity staying with the news of the hanging of Saddam instead of Greta.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

Those should be emailed to Anderson Cooper, Alan Colmes, Larry King, and whomever else was crying in their beer tonight.

"The world is going crazy"

It is. The Iraqi's just hung their version of Hitler, and yet half the world is sad.

[Outraged At FLA]

Saddam "Came Apart" at the hanging:

But Iraqi government officials who are close to the case described a very different Saddam, one who was extremely nervous Friday evening when U.S. officials reportedly handed him over.

"He is in a state of shock," said Mithal Alusi, a parliament member who sat in on the government's daylong meetings Friday about Saddam's fate. "He came apart. He realized he couldn't escape this."

I'll agree with that. Sean would be much better.

Yeah, c'mon

When the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights, yeah

When the music's over
When the music's over
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights

For the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end

Cancel my subscription to the Resurrection
Send my credentials to the House of Detention
I got some friends inside

The face in the mirror won't stop
The girl in the window won't drop
A feast of friends
"Alive!" she cried
Waitin' for me
Outside!

Before I sink
Into the big sleep
I want to hear
I want to hear
The scream of the butterfly

Come back, baby
Back into my arm
We're gettin' tired of hangin' around
Waitin' around with our heads to the ground

I hear a very gentle sound
Very near yet very far
Very soft, yeah, very clear
Come today, come today

What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down

I hear a very gentle sound
With your ear down to the ground
We want the world and we want it...
We want the world and we want it...
Now
Now?
Now!

Persian night, babe
See the light, babe
Save us!
Jesus!
Save us!

So when the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights

Well the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end!
