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..."
That's my favorite from tonight. I posted it on the Dose, not once, but twice....LOL.
Elephant is a true MASTER of T.V. photo grabbing and an absolute genius on wheels with a WebTV! He IS brilliant with that machine and as an exwebbie, believe me, I know exactly how amazing such a thing is. :-)
Sorry, I changed the channel so missed that.
That's encouraging. I sure wish their numbers would grow, exponentially.
Wow .. what an intelligent post you made there ... / huge sarcasm >
I love that 'card'!
Well, with that statement, I guess rational thought isn't your forte. You prefer to pick throw-away, joke lines to respond to while dodging the main argument. Figures. I'm done with you.
Scarborough jumped the shark after Katrina. He's hopeless, I don't even watch him anymore.
I hope that you had a lovely Christmas!
BTTT!!!!!!!!! Our son was just a young boy when Desert Storm began. Years later, he joined the military and ended up fighting in Iraq to bring down the same damn madman, Saddam. God bless all of our military men and women who fought and died during Operation Desert Storm. May their families find peace in now knowing that finally, after all these years, the man responsible for their loved one's sacrifice has finally been brought to justice at the end of a rope. God bless you for your service, GulfWar1Vet. As the mother of a soldier, I can imagine how you must have felt tonight.
That's was a throw-away line, there, champ.
So do I. Of course, I'd like to see our numbers go up too....
Today, JFK would be considered a rabid right winger.
Such a preposterous statement just makes you look silly.
How about the moral decine: social dependency, disease, and mental problems associated with political correctness. How many souls have to fall before you notice and say "Enough moderation. Enough politically correct thought control! Do something!"
FGS, I never realized you were a wrist slitter.
I tell you one thing: I'm willing to vote for anybody with an R behind their name to take the power away from E V I L liberals.
That you aren't says more about me than you feel you need to say about me to make yourself feel morally superior to the rest of us.
He works for a left wing station. Bad company ruins good character (if he had any to begin with).
Dead...............all dead! :-)
Dayyumm. Thank You and all I sent you was a Fruit Cake, LOL.
So now, in Howlin-speak, conservatives are "wrist-slitters." Lovely...
"There is nothing without victory; the first duty of the politician is to win.
Victory is our candidate.
At the blackest hour of the London Blitz or the Battle of the Bulge the main concern was not philosophical purity but victory.
Somehow a bunch of fools stayed home because Mark Foley sent graphic text messages to a precocious teen--a bunch of fools who forgot that now Carl Levin gets to make sure there's no missile defense installation in Poland and Japan when Kim Jong Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad decide to act out knowing their puppetmaster/protectors in Moscow and Beijing have got their backs.
The fools who forgot that now the taxes go up and the economy goes down, the military is starved and the tyranny of the courts grows like jungle canopy.
No, not purity, VICTORY."
Amen. My tagline sums up these purity morons!
That, too ... sad.
