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..."

You are a misogynist and wouldn't know "rational thought" if it bit you on the nose. Now go away.
To: concerned about politics
Are you OK? You're having an unusually ugly mood swing tonight (UMS). Does this Saddam thing make you feel uneasy? It does some people, you know. Saddam dictated through fear, and many people saw him as a much more powerful person than he really was. I was talking about you in this post and you just proved my point.

What a fraud you are. Personally, I think liberals who post on a conservative website, while claiming to be conservative (even though they continuously attack most things conservative) are the frauds.

"In northern Iraq -- the only place in the country where people can speak relatively freely -- Mr. Sweeney interviewed several people who had direct experience of child torture. He also met one of the victims -- a four-year-old girl, the daughter of a man who had worked for Saddam's psychopathic son Uday. When the man fell under suspicion, he fled to the Kurdish safe haven in the north. The police came for his wife and tortured her to reveal his whereabouts; when she didn't break,
they took his daughter and crushed her feet. She was 2 then. Today, she wears metal braces on her legs, and can only hobble."Monsters. It's the only word that fits.

So now, in Howlin-speak, conservatives are "wrist-slitters." Lovely...I thought you weren't going to post to me anymore?
And I thought you were going to bed.
You just can't stand that somebody might say one word about you, can you?
You're worse than a silly high school gossipy girlie guy.

And BTW, I am one of the few people who actually LOVES a good fruitcake! There's a place in Texas that makes one of THE best fruitcakes I've EVER eaten, but I can't remember the name of the bakery right now.

Certainly you know it is a good thing that Saddamn is dead, Right??? Yeah. That's why I was irked that certain folks turned this thread into another opportunity to try and drum conservatives out of the Republican Party.

Only the harpies could poison the festive atmosphere of a good hanging. Good night...

Didn't all of you Walk on Water Conservatives leave the Republican Party already?? I love the way "moderates" are trying to win elections...by showing conservatives the door. Brilliant.
