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..."
Flabbergasted at the party's stupidity, for months all I could say was, "BobDole. They nominated BobDole."
Time that they had the American flag upright!
I believe it
The last part is the part some around here seem to be having trouble with.
The country has moved on and they don't seem to be able to adjust.
You had a smart history teacher.
bttt
I bet he did.
And I was here in N.C. saying "It's Bob's turn." :-)
I voted for Dole too
There wasn't a chance in hell I'd vote to but Clinton back in office
"We" all voted for Dole.
Yeah, that one cracks me up every time I look at it. In this instance, when I broke the news about Saddam's execution to my 15-yr-old son he immediately said, "You should post that applause picture!"
Listening to CNN, they seemed to have brushed off Saddam's death and have moved on to anxiously awaiting the 3,000th U.S. death in Iraq.
Only three to go, they tell us.
I saw him sayin it with his own sour grapes lips, just like you keep doin!!!
Did he? Now THAT's an interesting tidbit that FNC didn't bother reporting. Thank YOU for doing so!
I did not vote for Clinton... I voted for the loser, Bob Doyle.
I'm fine with it just so long as he wasn't Crucified.
Barbarism defines humanity. That's the reason why Jesus is THE reason for the season! Regrettably sometimes barbarism requires a response in kind to maintain a world balance. I hope they used a piano wire in place of a rope. You ever see the aftermath of a nerve gas attack? I saw the pix of the attack Saddam ordered against the Kurds. Horrific just doesn't quite do it justice. I hope they looped a piano wire around his neck and made him stand on a block of ice until it melted to the point his own body weight caused the wire to accomplish decapitation.
And you call yourself a good lawyer..?
The scary part is .. they don't realize how disgusting they sound
Oh I would believe it! Wanna see mine? LOL
