Saddam's Journey to Hell

[daking]

Saddam has just cleared the on ramp and merged onto the highway to hell. Look out, Satan, you have a new resident who will soon try to overthrow your government and really make Hades repressive, violent and evil. Watch your back.

[JonDunn]

Ever seen the South Park movie with Saddam and Satan?? Couldnt help but to think of that:D

[daking]

Oh yeah. Those guys had very little use for Saddam. That movie proves cartoons are not for kids.

Now that it is done how long do you think it will take them to do something stupid on US ground. I hope I am wrong but I feel like something will be done. Anyone else feel this way?

they would have already done it if they could have. they know we will really be expecting it now. but, anything is possible.

[naturalelite]

Do you honestly think that risk isnt already there?Yes of course. Since it has already happend everyone knows the risk is there. It wouldn't suprise me if it was in the next week? There are a million plus watching the ball drop in two days??

[therron258]

um the Iraqis killed Saddam, we just captured and provided security.

[eddiejohn4]

They need no exuse as they have not needed one for thirty years. The question should not be if they will kill more americans but when and where. This will be a long war that was long in comming and we need to get born again hard. Quit fighting amongst ourselfs, printing our secrets and military plans to the enemy and get serious. They certainly have been .

Most americans have not a clue how many americans have already died at the hands of these extremists. How many facilities and embassies have been bombed. we still cannot get our own leaders from the Dems to get on board and help.

[daking]

Amen, brother. It's a case of them wanting to wipe us out since the Crusasdes. Until they either have a change of heart (which hasn't happened in 800 years) or we apply enough pain to make them stop, they'll keep sniping away at us. they don't have to defeat us, just dispirit us. We gotta hang tough, something that people in a BIC lighter/microwave oven/high speed internet society tend to not have the patience or courage to do, It's time for a gut-check.

Saddam's own regime used executions and extrajudicial killings as a tool of political repression, both to eliminate real or suspected political opponents and to maintain a reign of terror.

In the months after he seized power on July 16, 1979, he had hundreds of members of his own party and army officers slain. In 1996, he ordered the slaying of two sons-in-law who had defected to Jordan but returned to Baghdad after receiving guarantees of safety.

:mad:

When the U.S. invaded in 2003, Iraqis had been transformed from among the region's most prosperous people to some of its most impoverished.

I agree we need to stop giving our plans on cnn and msnbc so everybody will know what we are going to do and when, along with selling and publishing all our other secrets!! The future is scary with certain people in charge.

On the way to the gallows, according to Ali, "Saddam said, ‘Iraq without me is nothing.’"

What amazes me is that they had a trial. He was found guilty. They then sentenced him to death by hanging. He was to be executed within 30 day. They did not take the full 30 days.

No death row. Seems like a simple system.

Palestinians Mourn Saddam's Execution

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) - Though much of the world regarded him as a tyrant, Saddam Hussein was mourned by Palestinians Saturday as a generous patron who remained one of their staunchest allies.

Saddam had rejected peace with Israel, sent money to the families of suicide bombers and welcomed many Palestinian refugees to Iraq.

"We heard of his martyrdom, and I swear to God we were deeply shaken from within," said Khadejeh Ahmad from the Qadora refugee camp in the West Bank. "Nobody was as supportive or stood with the Palestinians as he did."

Palestinians in the West Bank town of Bethlehem opened a "house of condolence," where dozens of people gathered on white chairs to drink black coffee and mourn the executed dictator.

There was at least one parade in his honor in Gaza, where some Palestinians displayed a poster with his image next to that of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

Sami al-Askari, a political adviser to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki who was present at the hanging, said at about the time the noose was slipped over his head, Saddam shouted: "Palestine is Arab."

Early accounts of the execution indicated those were his final words. But in a videotape that surfaced later in the day, the former dictator was heard reciting a verse from the Quran a moment before his death.

During the first Gulf War in 1991, Saddam attacked Israel in a failed ploy to force his Arab brethren to abandon the U.S.-led coalition arrayed against him and join Iraq in fighting the Jewish state. As Saddam's Scud missiles flew overhead en route to Israel, Palestinians chanted: "Beloved Saddam, strike Tel Aviv."

He further endeared himself to the Palestinians during the recent uprising against Israel by giving $25,000 to the family of each suicide bomber and $10,000 for each Palestinian killed in fighting. The stipends totaled an estimated $35 million.

Saddam's support for the Palestinians - whose cause is deeply popular with Arabs throughout the Middle East - was at least partially aimed at cultivating grass-roots support for his regime.

Saddam's downfall - his defeat by America, his capture in a filthy hole, his conviction and his execution - dismayed Palestinians. They lionized the former Iraqi leader and praised his willingness to stand up to America and Israel when other Arab leaders would not.

"Saddam was a person who had the ability to say, 'No,' in the face of a great country," said Hosni al Ejel, 46, from the al Amari refugee camp near Ramallah.

Sabha Mohammed, 57, was stunned when her son told her that Saddam had been executed. Saddam had given her $25,000 to rebuild her house after a 2002 Israeli raid on the Jenin refugee camp.

"I immediately cried, because I felt that we, as Arabs and Muslims, lost a strong leader like Saddam," she said. "I hope the same thing happens to all the Arab and Muslim leaders because they didn't support Saddam and they stood silent, starting with the occupation of Iraq, through the U.S. army's arrest of Saddam, to his execution in the end."

Some Palestinians cited reports that Saddam had remembered them toward the end as evidence of his unshakable support.

But the grief was muted. Many in the West Bank and Gaza gave up on Saddam when he was captured by American soldiers three years ago.

In Bethlehem's "house of condolence," mourners sat beneath Iraqi flags and played Iraqi revolutionary songs, surrounded by pictures of Saddam. Outside, several cars parked outside had black strips of fabric tied to their antennae.

In the central Gaza town of Khan Younis, about 25 men and children marched through the street with pictures of Saddam.

In Gaza City, about 20 people sat in a garage that had been converted into a mourning area for Saddam. A poster on the wall displayed a picture of Saddam next to one of Arafat.

"Saddam Hussein gave Palestinians what no other Arab leader ever gave," said Mahmoud Abu Hasira, whose family organized the mourning area.

"He wanted the Palestinian people to have a state and a government and to be united," said Ghanem Mezel, 72, from the town of Saeer in the southern West Bank. "But God supports us, and we pray to God to punish those who did this."

In Israel, the response to the death of one of the nation's bitterest foes was muted. The government had no official comment on Saddam's execution

Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh expressed concerns about Iraq's path in the post-Saddam era. He told Israel Radio that Israel was concerned about the strengthening of Iranian influence in the Shiite sections of southern Iraq and also in the central government.

Iraq had also become a regional "power station" for terror that could spread chaos throughout the Middle East, he said.

"We have to be worried about what is going to happen now," he said.

Some like conflicts?? Even thrive on them???;)

Seriously, WE are never told the "whole truth" about anything we attempt to make decisions on mis-information, which makes it all but impossible, the "main stream media" tells us what we're supposed to believe, which is not the same thing as the truth or facts of any situation......

When you actually speak with those who've been to Iraq, you will easily see WE are told a much different story, then is the reality......

You are so right. I have a family member on the in-laws side who's company is paid by major company's and gov't officials to record news media footage, so they can make sure the info they release is spun in the proper way to convey the message they want us to hear truth or not.

A Google search in the video section of "leaked Saddam execution" will lead you to a very revealing cellphone video of the actual hanging.....

Some days you get the bear.....some days the bear gets you! :D
