Saddam Hussein executed in iraq

[Mutley]

Although I'm glad he is punished, I'm against the hanging for a death sentence, it's a inhumane and disgusting way to do it.

 

[Pulse]

Just watched a video took from a witness' camera phone, shows his actual hanging and everything- he died straight away from the looks of things, broken neck from what I can tell, still the room was just anarchy with people shouting and conferring amongst each other.

Indeed quite a barbaric way to go, despite being quick.

 

[Mutley]

he died straight away from the looks of things, broken neck

That's good (errr?) to hear, I always have the thought of slowly suffocating to death when you are hanged.

[SpotEnemyBoats]

Im all for the hanging, since he did commit mass murder against his own people.

 

[Pauly]

Who cares?

Yeah! Who cares! Geneva convention- shameba convention... does not matter.
Lets also torture anyone(including american citizens) that have ever come in contact with a muslim. That includes being in an elevator with a muslim. You must be a terrorist.

 

[jondy]

All jokes aside, it's a far better punishment than what some of those countries around there do, including what Saddam had done to his people while he was ruling.

They could have just as easily tossed him into a wood chipper, moved down an inch a minute at a time.

That's a poor argument; as the harbingers of justice and democracy, the US should be setting a goddamn example. If said example's justification is simply, 'well, they're worse', you can say buh-bye to any pretentions of moral high ground you might have been entertaining.

I honestly don't know, I hate the idea of capital punishment. No doubt he did some evil things in his time, but the idea of calling a public hanging 'justice' in the 21st century doesn't sit well with me.

 

[Fliko]

However the moment of his execution was not shown. Pictures of his body wrapped in a shroud were later broadcast on TV.

Yeah, that kinda makes me go in disbelief that he is actually dead

And I agree with Jondy's statement above

 

[Nemesis6]

He's dead, trust me. He's dead.

Oh yeah, the Palestinians have started their weeping. A friend of Arafat(an Egyptian), a friend of the Palestinian people. Heh.

 

[SpotEnemyBoats]

On another forum I saw the video of which they put the rope on Saddam's neck, so he's gone, finished.
Although I don't see the whole thing of him being hanged. D:

We don't have enough wars to abide the rules of war set by the Geneva, Hague, and other conventions.

 

[Raziaar]

All I said that the hanging was more preferable than the ways he killed off his own people.

I didn't say anything about the ethical use of hangings. I don't like hangings. All I said it was better than the creative ways he and his sons chose to kill people.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Here's the video if anyone cares to see it (of his hanging), this is one someone took from a cell phone so it has the whole thing the media decided not to show.

holy shit someone was there and taped it all by the cellphone? dam

 

[joule]

Funny how the execution of someone so infamous, such as Hussein, and all we get is some crappy cell phone video.

 

[Raziaar]

It's not really convincing that he actually died. But... nothing I can do about that. I doubt that was all a ruse to escape him somewhere, however... you can never be sure.

 

[highlander]

What do you mean Raz? you don't think he actually got hung?

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

I'm against hanging, but not execution. They should have like a pill or injection to kill 'em. Quick and painless.

 

[Raziaar]

What do you mean Raz? you don't think he actually got hung?

No. I don't think that. It's just a little strange that the camera wasn't kept steady during the actual hanging. All you can see is a whole crapload of shaking followed by two or three split second shots of saddam's body.

 

[joule]

They even hung his dog. No joke.

Iraq: Shortly after the execution of the dictator Saddam Hussein, his dog Blondi followed the same fate to the gallows. Contrary to Saddam, Blondi’s execution was broadcast live in full length. Some minor complications arose, which dragged out the death struggle to unbearable lengths. Animal activist group PETA has filed a formal complaint to the Iraqi Foreign Ministry.

[Jintor]

I'm not for hanging. I'm not really even for the death penalty.

The bastard may have deserved it but even still...

Eh? No. They didn't even bother changing the text they used for Saddam's execution. Gotta try harder next time.



On a completely unrelated matter... I found this silly story.

Settling it with a Dog Fight!

George Bush and Saddam Hussein decided to settle the war once and for all. They sat down and decided to settle the whole dispute with one dog fight. They would have 5 years to breed the best fighting dog in the world, and whichever side's dog won would be entitled to dominate the world.

Saddam found the biggest, meanest Doberman and Rottweiler female dogs in the world and bred them with the meanest Siberian wolves. They selected only the biggest and strongest puppy from the litter, and removed his siblings, which gave him all the milk. After 5 years, they came up with the biggest, meanest dog the world had ever seen. Its cage needed steel bars that were 5" thick and nobody could get near it.
When the day came for the dog fight, Bush showed up with a strange looking animal. It was a 9-foot-long Dachshund. Everyone felt sorry for Bush because there was no way that this dog could possible last 10 seconds with the Iraqi dog.

When the cages were opened up, the Dachshund came out of its cage and slowly waddled over towards Saddam's dog. Saddam's dog snarled and leaped out of its cage and charged the American Dachshund-but when it got close enough to bite, the Dachshund opened its mouth and consumed Saddam's dog in one bite!

There was nothing left of his dog at all. Saddam came up to Bush, shaking his head in disbelief. "We don't understand how this could have happened. We had our best people working for 5 years with the meanest Doberman and Rottweiler female dogs in the world and the biggest, meanest Siberian wolves."

"Yes," said Bush. "But we had the best plastic surgeons working for 5 years to make that alligator look like a weenie dog."

 

[highlander]

Oh ok i misunderstood you Raz

 

[Pulse]

Saddam isn't dead, just like Hitler and James Brown! CONSPEERRAAASSSYYY!11

 

[repiV]

the geneva accords serve no purpose? I'm sure millions of jews around the world would disagree

No, that particular aspect of them serves no purpose in this case. Anyone who uses the law (an obscure, bizarre law which evidently was not designed to protect despots) to justify something on any basis other than practical is a mindless fool. Standing up for Saddam Hussein is pretty low, whichever way you look at it, and extremely hypocritical when seemingly your entire life is taken up with whining about the far less serious transgressions of Bush and Blair.

made by the US ..from the very first day when the CIA stuck a gun in the hand of a then 22 yr old Saddam (hired to execute baath party leader) to his very last breath the US made saddam what he is/was today

So? What's your point?

I'm sure you'd have no problem if blair/bush were handed to the iraqi people who've lost over half a million of their populace because they decided to lie their way into iraq

You're doing it again - drawing equivalence between mass murder and genocide and the inevitable results of war, the majority of which due to terrorists in this case. Newsflash: people die in war.

wrong, I'm against the death penalty ..anyways had bush had a fair trial and then sentenceed to life in prison for every death in iraq yes I'd be happy but an eye for an eye is for those less civilized ..justice is much better served if he were to spend his remaining days in prison

You must be one real ****wit if you think Bush is guilty of causing every death in Iraq.

 

[repiV]

Yeah, because you know - coming into contact with Muslims and being Saddam Hussein are exactly the same thing. Duh.

 

[hasan]

Should Saddam be killed? (what a rhetorical question!)
- Probably yes.

Should his executioners be killed?
- Probably yes.

Should Al-Sadr and Al-Hakim and Al-Maliki be killed?
- Hell yea!!

Should the leaders of the militia be killed?
- Hell hell yea!!!!!

If you compare Saddam to any of the above mentioned, who'd win?
- Saddam, baby of course.

Iran?
- Man .... I wanna see those black-turbans go down one by one.

 

[clarky003]

Jeebus how tasteless.. apparently fox news played the whole uncensored video. The bbc were like.. f*** no, it may be saddam but we arn't playing all of that.. and you know why? because the people in charge of the bbc arn't sickofants with an agenda like those fox goons.

Oh, the BBC certainly have an agenda. They're just much more subtle and intelligent in pursuit of it than Fox. Ultimately far more insiduous, particularly as it is paid for out of public funds.

Erm, so?

The invasion destabilized Iraq, this lead to thousands of deaths, of which those who invaded are responsible.

Utter nonsense.
People are responsible for their own actions. It is terrorists who murder civilians, not coalition troops. All you're doing is giving a free ticket to terrorist scumbags (oh sorry, glorious freedom fighters) and justifying your extremely warped view of the world.
Which is really no surprise, as you believe noone should have to take responsibility for their actions (unless they happen to be rich, powerful and white).

Iraq is a mess because Iraqis keep killing each other, not because of American soldiers. They are causing their own problems. Get a clue or just shut up.

Complete Rubbish.
If A led to B which in turn led to C, then A is the indirect cause of C

A->B->C
A->C

So the Invasion [A], led to the Destabilizing of Iraq which led to thousands of deaths.

So A, is responsible for C. You can't argue with that.

If you gave a bunch of 10yr olds pistols and they shot each other, you would be responsible for the deaths, because you were the indirect cause.

So, thousands have died in Iraq, and it is because of the mess that WE made.

If A hadn't occured, then neither would C, but that doesn't make it our sole responsibility. Why the **** do you never blame terrorists for being terrorists?
You're always talking about how glorious they are, and how evil America is, but it's the terrorists that are committing the atrocities on a regular basis. Murder of civilians is a standard tactic for those ****s. For us, it's a rare and unfortunate incident that is dealt with in the proper manner by our justice system and certainly not glorified.
If George Bush senior hadn't had one too many to drink at a party one night, little Dubya might never have been born. So by your logic, George H W Bush is just as responsible for the current situation because he gave birth to his son.
You're a bullshit artist and you know it.

 

[Solaris]

Here's the thing.

Before we invaded, the anti-war movement warned us that this would happen. It was obvious, even if it wasn't ignorance is not excuse.

Of course the terrorists are directly to blame, but thats what they do terrorists, when you remove the system that stops the terrorists causing so much damage, you hold responsibility for what they do.

Oh, so finally you admit they're directly to blame. But hang on a minute, I thought they were the glorious liberators of an oppressed nation before...backtracking, are we?
The Iraqis had a chance to make a fresh start, to live in peace and work towards prosperity. It was an opportunity granted of course through the nature of international politics and not of goodwill but that is how the world works and wise men take advantage of all the opportunities that they can grab - and this was a pretty rare one. They ****ed it up. They ****ed it up beyond belief. That's their fault, not ours. I also couldn't care less if they want to act like uncivilised savages. It just goes to show that they aren't worthy of any goodwill we may have cared to offer were we more altruistic, and they can rot in their own self-destruction. They aren't ready for civilisation.

 

[Tagaziel]

Because terrorists have little choice. Terror is the weapon of the weak, picked up when they have none to use.

USA fights symptoms, not the causes. Poverty and under-education are among many causes, as are ideology and religion. The first two can be effectively fought with long-term policies and active humanitarian aid, the last two, sadly, can't.

Tell me, how many rich and educated Arabs do you see commiting acts of terror?

And everything is relative. For you, they are dirty assholes. For people of Iraq and neighbouring countries who live in poverty they are people fighting for their national identity and a foreign occupation force. Which, despite whatever pretty names they get, is still an occupation force.

EDIT: And would you please cut out with derogatory, borderline racist remarks like "they aren't ready for civilization"?
