Saddam dead
December 30th, 2006 at 4:20 pm by David FarrarSaddam was executed around 20 minutes ago at 4 pm NZDT.
Very sensible to not delay it, once the sentence was final. Hopefully his death will lead to better things, than what he did when alive, but it’s not likely to affect things much either way I predict. One or two other dictators might be having an uncomfortable night’s sleep tonight though.
And for Southpark fans, this may now lead to extra episodes of Saddam and Satan as homosexual lovers!

Hi all
With all the terrorist activity by the sandniggers in the past few years there will be no virgins left in Islamic Heaven. Hence Sadass Hussain will need to butt fuck satan for a shag I guess.

snuff porn..yech..!
and if they hang him..why not bush and feckin’ blair..?
them and rtheir war crimes have killed far more than hussein..
and isn’t it interesting..how none of the mainstream media have mentioned the (you’d think relevant fact (!) ..)..that for most of his ‘war crime’ era’ hussein was the ‘bitch’ of the c.i.a…
who knew all about his ‘war crimes’…
(and in fact america/britaineagerly supplied him with the poisons/weapons etc..)
as i say..if saddam hussein deserves to be hung for his war crimes..bush and feckin’ blair also deserve to hang for theirs..eh..?

I’ve got no tears to shed for Saddam, but his show trial followed by a squallid little lynching is going to do no-one any good.

Both Phil and Sonic are right about the media selectivity and the fact everything about this episode won’t help but will rather hinder.
The timing and manner of Saddam’s death and the subsequent publicity are by calculated design. It would behove those interested in Iraq and the region to ask themselves who stands to gain from this sordid episode and who designed it in the first place.

I’ve always been sceptical because war ciminals are always on the loosing side, and that there are two sides to every story. However, in Saddam’s case I’m prepared to make an exception – and say thank goodness that junior has finally completed the job that daddy should have done 15 yrs ago.

Saddam was not hung for “war crimes”, but by the Iraqi government for killing his own citizens in vast numbers without due process.
Phil – “them and their war crimes have killed far more than hussein..”
How many people do you think Hussein killed, and how many people are you making Bush responsible for?
