CNN to show Saddam hang pictures
 

Adios Saddam.....

rot in hell....

now being a Matyr, I hope he gets the ugliest virgins
you F ing piece of sh*t

Hopefully he'll do better next time....

I wouldn't touch THAT Karma with a 10ft pole....if I believed in Karma.

Well, since I do I can only hope for the best!

good bye boitch..bury him with a pig lol

Where to now ? 3,000 lives later, no WMDs, civil war.

at 5:10 am just now on Fox News they showed video of him being prepped for his ultimate demise, they even showed the masked men (no kidding) putting the noose on him. He got the trap door treatment:cool:

I saw that video on Comcast Wheel this morning...good way to start the morning...cup of coffee, delicious chocolate filled donut, brutal and barbaric hanging...they appeared almost casual, of course the masks were a nice touch as was the scarf-like item they put around his neck before the noose.
For some reason, the first verse of a song came to me:
"They're selling postcards of the hanging
They're painting the pastports brown
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
The circus is in town
Here comes the blind commissioner
They've got him in a trance
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
The other is in his pants
And the riot squad they're restless
They need somewhere to go
As Lady and I look out tonight
From Desolation Row."

I want to see the sumbitch hanging there....COME ON YOUTUBE

Call me a bleeding-heart liberal, but for as much of a despicable ******* as he was -- I still don't get any joy out of capital punishment for anyone. Not even him.

Brian,
But as you can tell from this thread, there is no shortage of bloodlust...lots of folks certainly enjoy a good killing!

It's one of those things like abortion where I have a very easy time seeing how people could disagree with me. I get the appeal to capital punishment, it seems reflexive -- I just don't believe in it.

However, he was a horrible human being, and if I believed in capital punishment, he would be first on my list of deserving people.

3,000 American lives. Over 300,000 Iraqi lives to add to that.

With so many hundreds of thousands dead since he we deposed, I start to wonder when the cure becomes more deadly than the disease. I just don't understand anything in this world anymore.

(Not that I'm feeling sorry for him, mind you.)

Yeah...certainly a monster by any measure...but also a human being. And his death changes nothing except perhaps increasing the violence in Iraq and worldwide. If some folks take solice in his death then I'm glad they've found a small measure of peace but in the end, it's just another killing! Those involved all wore masks...just like the terrorists...I understand the risk to their personal safety but still...what exactly was the difference between what is being showed on TV and the net today and those other murders by those we call terrorists?

Somerfrost,
I'll preface this with words that I was cautioned to listen to, (I paraphrase)
Why are you so upset? Your words invite controversy. Let's talk about horses and racing.
My apologies for any words that I speak that inflame, but I offer none that speak truth to lies. Hate is easily justified.
As you said, "those we call terrorists" are defined by the words we apply.
Murderers punishing other murderers for their crimes also evidences such.
The real ones are ignored, as the populace believes they come from "outside". This is not the case.

I agree!

THANKS!!!!! And here I was thinking that I was the only one being called "crazy'! You and me buddy! At least there's two of us.

Another great site for videos, especially death and dismemberment videos, is http://www.liveleak.com. This site used to be Ogrish.com which always had the most graphic and disturbing videos I've ever seen. They showed the complete beheading of an American - very not cool :mad: :(
They have the video from an Arab TV station showing Saddam after he was hanged (although he's not still in the noose).

Scav, I would say "enjoy!" but that's just too creepy :eek:

I don't know how anyone would want to see that... sicko.

Cajun,
When I first saw the title of this thread, "Saddam Hung", I expected that it would be a "tell all" from one of his previous mistresses. Hanged would be a better term.
Yes, "sickos" get some joy from this. Heck, I never liked the guy myself.
That said, there's more to come.

Now, let's put the real war criminals on trial.
Who cares what their mistresses claim?

Here's a video of him dropping through the floor after being strung up...

Kiris, THANK YOU..I have been eagerly awaiting this since it was reported.

WHY, Tom? I'm trying to understand how anyone can get joy out of watching another human's death... please explain.

So you are defending a person that made kids watch autopsy's on their parents and hung people becuase they didn't 'agree' with him?

Fact is that he got off easy with the hanging. They should have ripped the jerkoff one limb at a time

i think about 2,000,000 iraqis and iranians died while saddam was in power, so there's still a ways to go.

and with all due respect, if you don't understand anything in this world anymore, you never understood it in the first place, because nothing has changed.

the hangman always wears a mask. been doing it that way for 700 years.

if anyone was gonna come through, it was you.

back in 1793 and 1794, parisians would go to mass, then go get wine and cheese and sit around the village square as the guillotin provided them with hours of ongoing entertainment. the children would run through the fields and play tag, grandma would knit, and father would discuss business (yes, even on the sabbath) with other merchants, all as the new "citizen's government" leveled off the shoulders of louis xiv's family and friends. that kind of stuff has been a big seller for years.

Whoever said the French were civilized??:eek:

They'd never execute the Sun King....

Louis XVI is a different story though...

I always liked the fact that dogs etc would hang around underneath the platform, then lick up some of the blood afterwards, must have been a wild scene...

i always get my iv's and vi's confused. i'm the one that started the thread "seahawks will win superbowl LX" and was told i'll have to wait 20 years.

Well, said son was not exactly a stand-up guy, either. Saddam put a death sentence on him because the son beat his personal food-taster to death in front of a house full of party guests. Then let him off the hook, because, after all, it was just a food taster.

The New York Times' obit on Saddam (Saturday's) was pretty darn good-- reminding one of all the atrocities for which he's responsible, along with how his big tactical error in attacking Iran (which led us to financially support him for a while) led to the invasion of Kuwait. I learned a lot.

saddam wasn't a real war criminal? or are you suggesting that his crimes pale in comparison to others more deserving of that title?

Danzig,
Of course Saddam was a war criminal. I agree that he was.
Also, from reports that I've read from various news sources today, the world opinion is split. One more corpse added to the heap will not solve this situation.
Go back on this thread and read my post #10. Get back later.

Who said I was defending the guy? He was a scumbag. You still didn't answer the question as to WHY you enjoy watching that kind of stuff.
