Saddam Video of Body after Hanging (New 1-8-07)

The Drop Broke Saddam's neck killing him instantly. At the executions following the Nuremberg Trials others were not so lucky.

THE TRIAL OF THE CENTURY--AND OF ALL TIME, PART TWO

"..The executions, in a brightly lighted prison gymnasium where three looming black wooden gallows had been erected, were witnessed by a handful of Allied military officers and eight journalists, one of whom, Kingsbury Smith of International News Service, wrote a famous newspaper article, "The Execution of Nazi War Criminals, 16 October 1946," based on his eyewitness observations. Although Smith discreetly omitted mentioning it, the experienced Army hangman, Master Sgt. John C. Woods, botched the executions. A number of the hanged Nazis died, not quickly from a broken neck as intended, but agonizingly from slow strangulation. Ribbentrop and Sauckel each took 14 minutes to choke to death, while Keitel, whose death was the most painful, struggled for 24 minutes at the end of the rope before expiring..."

I'm a conservative/conservative, Howlin. This is a representative republic. We vote for those who will represent us. If there is no one who'll represent us, why vote for something not believed in? Why vote for Republicans when they're no different than liberals? What point is there in that? Why not just vote liberal in the first place and avoid the recounts? It's best to keep a clean conscience and not vote at all.

If the Republican party wants to go more to the middle and more socialist to get elected, so be it. If they win, it's what other people wanted. That's what other people will get without my conservative help.

You see, I'm not liberal. I'm not socialist. On the contrary, I feel the Republicans are going too far left already for my tastes. If Rudy or McCain get the nomination, I'll just find something else to do until someone who represents my beliefs get's nominated. That's how a representative republic works.

Bump for posterity.

I find it extremely funny that the hero of the left totally forgot his secular ways and became a God-fearing man AFTER he was caught!

I don't really want to get into this fight, however don't you think the pubbies let us down just a little? I don't believe they necessarily earned anybody's vote this last go around. Strong leadership and effective communication on Republican issues would have been nice. I voted R but that doesn't mean I shouldn't demand more from our side. They can do much better and I hope they will. That's all.

You can assume anything you want, and usually do, from what I've seen.

I've been a CONSERVATIVE and a REPUBLCIAN probably longer than you've been alive.

But I was a conservative when being a conservative meant not wanting the government in MY bedroom or MY marriage or MY house or MY religion.............not trying to impose some extremist views on me and the rest of the world.

Perhaps you should look around to see just who is USING this web site.

The tunnel vision brand of conservatives who have sucked the life out of this forum don't have a party of their own, so they've tried to take over this one -- and you see where they got us.

As I said, the GOP will simply now move further to the center and the "real, true" conservatives looking down their noses at the rest of us all these years will be left wandering in the desert again.

And, quite frankly, I don't give a damn if you're sickened or not; this place is kind of sickening lately.

Cooper is reporting CNN is receiving a lot of email from people worried about seeing the images of Saddam execution because they have children watching the TV

That CNN understands the concerns about that and will show caution when airing them

Then CNN shows pictures of all the dead Iraqis and their children killed by Saddam

Here's something to make it ever more simple: pick a side: either us or the Democrats.

No, that is not the choice. Rather, it is: Pick us conservatives or court electoral failure...again.
