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.

I'm not Jim!

LOL, btw!

Hope all is well on your end, I expect a FM update in the next week.

Now that's funny!

MSNBC just reported that President Bush was asleep at the time of the execution. Sleep well, Mr. President.

Good heavens. Cynthia McFadden has something wrong with her mouth now, that wasn't like that before tonight. She can only open it so far. Maybe had a dentist appointment this afternoon and still numb?

Mouth barely moves, always frowning - she and a new correspondent agreed that this is not a new democracy in Iraq, just another regime, this time led by the US, that executes the former regime, just like all the bad guys before.

Still frowning, she is forced to admit that 70% of their viewer poll approves of the execution.

Then she says, "when we return, some more about the Bush family and Saddam ..."

At this point, evidently the novocaine was beginning to wear off and a slight curl of a smirk turned up the corner of one side of her mouth.

Barf again.

Cooper's thong probably snapped when he heard that.

are you from the Puget Sound area? He was on the air here on 570 KVI for a short time.

What a putz. Don't they interview these gonads before they give them airtime?

[pissant]

Quit your whining. It's like shedding a tear for a child rapist. They, and saddam, deserve nothing but the most painful and heinous execution.

Statement of President Bush on the death by hanging of Saddam Hussein...
Associated Press

Statement of President Bush on the death by hanging of Saddam Hussein, as provided by the White House:

Today, Saddam Hussein was executed after receiving a fair trial - the kind of justice he denied the victims of his brutal regime.

Fair trials were unimaginable under Saddam Hussein's tyrannical rule. It is a testament to the Iraqi people's resolve to move forward after decades of oppression that, despite his terrible crimes against his own people, Saddam Hussein received a fair trial. This would not have been possible without the Iraqi people's determination to create a society governed by the rule of law.

Saddam Hussein's execution comes at the end of a difficult year for the Iraqi people and for our troops. Bringing Saddam Hussein to justice will not end the violence in Iraq, but it is an important milestone on Iraq's course to becoming a democracy that can govern, sustain and defend itself, and be an ally in the War on Terror.

We are reminded today of how far the Iraqi people have come since the end of Saddam Hussein's rule and that the progress they have made would not have been possible without the continued service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform.

Many difficult choices and further sacrifices lie ahead. Yet the safety and security of the American people require that we not relent in ensuring that Iraq's young democracy continues to progress.

And some body had to wake him up to give a statement?

I'd be pissed if they woke me up for that.

[pissant]

Yep. KVI country. They put Crusty in to replace Rush when he jumped ship. I could barely believe the man's ignorance of the world around him.

CNN has been better tonight. Seriously.

That's scary, isn't it? What has happened to Fox?

IMO, they've lost all credibility and this coverage seals it.

[nhoward14]

I am assuming the President's statement was probably pre-written.

[AVNevis]

It was probably written hours ago.

[JRios1968]

I need the video

You and me both, Sis...

[ohioWfan]

Sleep well, Mr. President

Amen!

You are a GOOD man, and clearly a man at peace.

You have done a great thing in the liberation of Iraq, and we are grateful!

[BurbankKarl]

Sure it will. His capture already reduced the funding of suicide bombers in Israel.


>>>It will make absolutley zero difference to the Islamic confontation with the west. Not one iota.

I wouldn't trust Reuters to be getting it right.....
We need Photos.....

Morrison was a POS.
