About 30 minutes ago, the Iraqi government hanged Saddam Hussein by the neck until he died.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
Commenter “themack” said it best: “Adios mofo.”

Adios mofo.
DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD!!! The Iraqi people can rejoice, or atleast 80% of them can.
All the Mideast things I’ve seen have been positive. Sunni, shia, kurds all glad the bum is gone.
Saddam has gone to Detroit, or, has begun his homosexual relationship with Satan.

(I know.. i posted it in another thread…)
And Bin Laden still runs free…………
Actually they gave him a one way ticket to Dearborn and put him under the witness protection program.
He is going to become an agent for the FBI, jr grade.

Next…let’s get Bin Laden and we need to find Khomeni. We have a lot of executions.

I read in a recent Discover article (and Discover is NO friend of Bush) about why Bin Laden has been so hard to find. That area of Afghanistan has never been able to be mapped. Despite all of our technology, the topography defies accurate mapping. A story in the article actually has the local guide pointing out a dozen villages from a stopping point. When asked to repeat the village names, he gave different names. As the article says, it’s hard to find someone hiding somewhere when you don’t know where “somewhere” is.
The edition would have been within the last two or three published. It was a short story in the last few pages.
So, until you’ve walked a mile in the shoes…
and it could be the same mile over and over and over for all you know!
Lefty loons (DU, Kos Kids, HuffPos, etc.) are already whining about the start of “civil war”. Screw ‘em. Justice was served as far as I’m concerned. Not that I take any particular joy in death, but if anyone ever deserved it Saddam did.
And even though Saddam’s been a non-player since his capture, he will no longer be a strong symbol around which to rally (being executed after a legal process and by his own people), and there is no possible way he’ll find a way back to power now.
I wonder what this’ll do to the psyche of the insurgent leaders? Make ‘em fierce or make ‘em think?
I hope and pray Saddam receives the “justice” he truly deserves and no on Earth could give.
The world is sometimes better off with certain people no longer on it. The world is better off without Saddam…
This is a good day for the people of Iraq.
I imagine many will sleep easier tonight in Iraq - others not so easy.
Saddam is now with the 70 virgils.
Together at last.

Aren’t they a cute couple!?

you mean Virginians?
If anyone has complete video of the entire event, I would love to see it. Hannity & Combs went long on there show last night and nothing on it until this mourning. I could not believe how much Combs kept defending Saddam last night, something is wrong with that guy.
Just call the execution a “Post partum abortion”
It will make the libs feel better this morning.
The reason for the execution is so that the Iraqi people will know that Saddam is no longer a threat: he will not return from exile to kill all those who opposed him; he will not rule from prison or exile, sending his henchmen to do his dirty work. And his henchmen can no longer say they are doing his bidding; they are working on their own, and must be accountable for their own actions.
While there is always the possibility of another dictator rising from the ashes, Saddam will never return to destroy his country.
The execution also shows that the post-Saddam Iraqi justice system is in place, and they are not afraid to mete out swift justice.
(America please take note; executions should not take 30 years to implement, but 30 days. I might give the accused 5 years to exhaust his appeals and let the innocence project do their thing, then do it).
Let us hope what Saddam saw after death was Lucifer and his minions. Evil to evil.
Maybe I missed it but where was all the noise and racket from the usual groups that rally and beat their chests decrying the death penalty? No poop from the Pope, no ACLU or Greenpeace or Amnesty International. Musta all been stuck in line at Specs buying inebriants for New Years.
I thought it was interesting that they wouldn’t turn over his body to his daughter, but instead plan on hiding his burial plot. I wonder if he felt the same kind of terror facing his demise that everyone he put to death felt. I hope so.

Funny, when I heard the news I started humming the same song
#7: the issue about mapping Afghanistan most like is not the “difficult topography” but the ambiguity of place names. You can bet that our military knows the shape of the land better than the Afghanis who live there do. But as for who’s on that land, and where they are exactly, that’s what is hard to figure out.
To All,
Saddam’s hanging may make a difference in the long term.
Fear not! Their is an ample supply of SOBs in the region. A replacement will be found.
Simple
Flygal,
I think there are many people on death row that deserve to be boiled in oil, but I am disturbed by the numbers of folks freed from death row each year by DNA evidence.
I am also disturbed by the numbers of District Attorneys that are focused on their conviction rates rather than justice. The punishments for prosecutorial misconduct does not fit the impact of the their actions.
Maybe instant executions are not such a good idea.
Simple
This was worth it.

Simplesimon,
That is why I want to be sure that the Innocence Project (Alan Dershowitz DNA group) has time to review case to be sure that he is comfortable DNA will not exonerate client, and a year of appeals should be plenty.
Too many people on death row for 30years, then a last minute appeal, although no new evidence, just trying to get hearing in front of new judges, hoping they are anti-death penalty.
Flygal,
It takes a fairly short time to check DNA, but the wheels of the appeals process turn very slowly.
All too often the prosecutors fight the appeals process for no other reason than they do not want anyone to mess with their stats.
Too often the indigent are railroaded by the DA for political reasons. Take the Duke Univ rape case for instance. If the accused had been a trio of poor black kids, do you think they would have had the same outcome? The Duke students came from affluent families who could afford good lawyers. They were able to fight the system.
I would be willing to support shorter execution times, but only if the penalties for prosecutorial misconduct were elevated above the wrist slapping level.
Simple
“Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi called the execution of the former Iraqi dictator ‘a new tragedy’.” Was their head-in-the-sand attitude of pedophile priests and shuffling them from location to locaton “an acceptable solution”?
#19-What does Greenpeace have to do with the Death penalty?
LapDancer, who in the Vatican shuffled priests around? Can you identify anyone?
For starters, this makes for rather enlightened reading…

I will agree that there are some innocent people on death row. I know he is just a comedian, but Ron White (Blue Coller Comedy) said something to the effect that if there are more than three eyewitnesses to a crime they will shorten the appeal proccess for detah row inmates. He joked about making an “express lane” for death row. I would agree that the ones convicted with overwhelming rather than just circumstantial evidence should not have to wait 30 years to get the needle (or whatever method the ACLU can agree with)I personally think the death penalty should be expanded to multiple violent offenders. 3 strikes, you’re not gonna rehabilitate you’re gonna re-offend. And ANY sexual offense to a child should go straight to death row. PERIOD! These people have something crosswired in the brain.
There I’m done venting.
Everybody please have a safe and happy new year
I’ll bet there’s no Doritos in Hell.

I bet there are no Virgins either. His welcome to Hell would be a good documentry.
LapDancer, the Vatican is not in the United States. You’re alleging that the “head-in-the-sand attitude” prevails in Rome. Prove it.
#36;
Twice you’ve ask lapdancer to “prove it”.
For starters, why don’t you disprove it? Being the vatican’s shuffling around pedophile priests.
