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..."
LOL...kindred spirits; in so many ways! :-)
Thank God..I am so very grateful for your son's service.
I don't mind at all; I'm not interested in putting myself before the country by agreeing with you.
Hi there! We had a wonderful Christmas, full of joy, calories, smiles and even warmer weather. How 'bout you and yours?
No way. I'm conservative to the core. I'll always be conservative. That's the way it is.
Don't get me wrong, the toys DO get put away, but out they come, first thing the next morning. :-)
I wish you and yours THE best ever NEW YEAR!
Then why did YOU bring it up?
Those are my words. Thank you again for this forum. I was outcountry for a while, as a civilian contractor.
The USA toppled one of the three countries in the Axis of Evil (Kim's country also being a member) and the UNITED STATES SUCCEEDED IN HAVING IT'S FORMER DICTATOR EXECUTED.
Then why did you post it for the entire world to see? No one asked you, you volunteered that bit of information.
Your last two sentences speak volumes, glad2bdad. I walked your walk and your words could have been lifted right out of my heart. God bless your son, and your family.
I love it,too..You are welcome..
May God Keep Safe Those Who Keep Us Safe.
Well, what your saying is: Obama's got a good chance 'cause he's getting attention. And if this, and this alone, is what determines our leadership, may I make a prediction? We're screwed.
Have we, as Americans, enough 'rope' to hang the selection process that may be the source of our own doom?
A conservative who thinks socialists like Pelosi & Reid being elected is good for the country because we need to be cleansed??
No thanks .. I'll pass on your kind of conservative
Ouch....LOL
I am not what makes me feel best?
Knowing that the Butcher is now in Hell or knowing that the libs, MSM and the dems are all crying their guts out.
Whining? I'm pretty happy. We'll get the House and Senate back if we move to the right where we belong. I'm not worried.
I thought maybe a good debate would help pull you out of your PMS. If you let out your rage tonight, you'll feel better tomorrow.
I'm still a conservative, though. I'm serious about that part. Nothing you type tonight can ever change that, but you can keep bitching at me if it makes you feel better.
You've only got about 15 minutes left, though. It's late here, and I'm going to get some sleep.
In answer to the usual crop of calumny that your crowd is becoming so adept at spewing around this place.
