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..."

Maybe he's just resting. Or maybe just stunned. Lovely plummage!

MSM Jughead: "Mr. Hussein, many in America say that you are winning the war in Iraq. What is your opinion on that view?"

The tyrant is dead. His fate should give other rogue regimes/rulers something to think about.

He's not only merely dead.
He's really most sincerely dead.


There was a guy on the local news tonight who grew up in Iraq. Two of his cousins were tortured to death by Hussein. He said he thought only the Iraqi people should have removed Hussein from power... whatever. It's finished.

Tuesday is National Day of Mourning for passing of former President Gerald Ford.

Democrats declare Wednesday is National Day of Mourning for the passing of former President Saddam Hussein.
