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.

It has to be clear to all concerned that we are not in this effort to provide Israel or anyone else with the opportunity of territorial conquest and "settlement."
1. This isn't 1967.
2. Israel has a better claim to the land than America has to our land. We committed mass murder, something Israel has not.
Are you going to give up your home? Do you hate America?

If you merely are an opportunist who wishes to appease the Muslims, you are a fool.

OK, I saw it up to the certain point that it "freezes". I certainly hope they showed more to the Iraquis, and that they have pictures of Saddam's body, or there will be a lot of Iraquis who won't believe it actually happened.

Hey sweetie!

[sageb1]

I can't find it anywhere. Just what we saw on FOX. I've never watched anything like that. Morbid curiosity, maybe?

[sageb1]

I've had problems with that website.

[AVNevis]

It was fine earlier. I think it is just overloaded with traffic.

Took a bathroom break and just now saw the video of Saddam being set up. Saddam looked broken to me!

Hi,,,Still pics will be out soon...;0)

[sageb1]

He looked like someone who had participated in many hangings and knew what was happening. Broken? Nah.

Thanks OldFriend. I didn't know who was swingin' next to the "Sad & Damned".

I think Colmes is the worst on Fox. In my opinion, Greta is ten times more level-headed than he is, but each to his/her own. Greta also lets her guests talk and get their point out without constantly interrupting them. Colmes also has a much more obvious political viewpoint. Maybe Greta got the extra hour to, in part, examine the legal aspects of Saddam's trial or the judicial system that managed to dispatch him much more quickly than our system would. I don't know, but I had all of Colmes I could take tonight and was glad when they switched. That said, I have to agree with another poster who steered me toward Anderson Cooper's later coverage which featured an ongoing interview the Iraqi ambassador to the UN who was very anti-Saddam and recounted many of the horrors of his regime.

omg, the way the media is wailing of this execution - it's disgusting!

What is wrong with these people???? (msnbc, cnn)..

[Theresawithanh]

FOX just showed film of Saddam covered in a white shroud with his face exposed, his head at a sharp angle to the right.

Sadams last words:

"This is all Bushes Fault!!!"

[Old Student]

"Before we act so gleeful to the fact that Saddam Hussein has met his just fate, I would recommend that we ponder the fact that here in the United States, we cannot or will not carry out the same justice on serial killers, baby/child rapers and traitors to our own country."

You might also consider that a whole lot of people here just saw that justice can be swift AND just...

I regret that I have forgotten his name, but I hope that he is still alive, and that he is awake - watching Dubai TV, and that he will lift a cup of that fine fine coffee with me as we toast Good Riddance to a devil and proclaim an earnest 'May God Be With You' to all those who seek freedom and opportunity.

Thanks for adding your story to this thread. I tried to respond last night and got a screen that said "this thread is locked". Perhaps so many people were trying to comment in the moments immediately after the news at 10pm, that it was temporarily suspended.
