RIP, Dick.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm...The world feels better now.

He was well hanged.

happy new year!

whoopee

Bye Bye, asshole

Adios, motherfucker.

Say hi to Satan and Hitler.

/south park

I should have bought more champagne tonight.

Saddam has LEFT THE BUILDING, AND THE PLANET, TOO.

May he rot in Hell.

This is all Bush's fault!

All those opposed to this war have no right to celebration. imho.

At least the Iraqis were quick about it, you can't leave these guys sitting in jail for decades or else they start to attract vermin, like Ed Asner or Mike Farrell..

Maasalaama, motherfucker!

I'll drink to that.

Another "Haman" bites the dirt. Jooz still here.

Saddam just realized his fake religion is worshiping devil himself !

Flying Dutchman

I hope it was a public hanging, or else it was videotaped to show that he was hung legally and that no mass of people were allowed to descrate his body.

Saddam got PWNED!

It couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Interesting that CBS News broke into their regular programming while NBC and ABC have not.

Holbrooke was on with Katie and was concerned about a potential uptick in violence as a result of his execution. Randall Pinkston also referenced a potential for more violence.

As if the jihadis and insurgents need another excuse?

A hanging...What?.....nobody told me!

Will the anti-saddamists finally thank us now

Saddam is now with his buddies Adolph, Idi, Yassir, Josef, Mao, Pol, and the other tyrants.

Rest in torment.

Those who live by the sword...

Saddam has LEFT THE BUILDING, AND THE PLANET, TOO.

May he rot in Hell.

Justice.

JWM

...he taught me how to dangle.

Fair, swift justice for a monster who tortured thousnds, and brutally murdered over a million people.

The man ordered living human beings, dipped in large acid vats.

At least some people can now say that justice was served.

Yippie! Saddam will finally take the long dirt nap.

P.S. I had trouble getting on LGF just now. I hope it is just lots of fellow lizards celebrating Saddam's demise and not a DOS attack.

No, no, he's *ah* resting.

This substantiates previous rumors I've heard about Saddam being hung heheheh

:)

Good riddance.

All that can be, or needs to be, said.

the dogs of doom are howling low....

Reportedly the execution was videotaped.

What just happened to LGF a minute ago, anyway? It was impossible to get to.

Hot damn!

Good riddance to bad garbage. Hell +1

I even had a little glass of marzipan liqueur for his big sayonara when I first heard. :)

(Open Thread) Saddam hanging
Komments...

Well (1+ / 0-)
I think that the death penalty is justified when it comes to people like Saddam Hussein and Bin Laden.
by jiacinto
------
George W. Bush? (10+ / 0-)

After all, he is responsible for more deaths than either of those you mentioned.

I am quite serious. Bush is as much of a criminal as either Hussien or Bin Laden.

Heh.
Is LGF running slow?

LGF just went screwy - probably with everyone trying to chime in and be the first on this thread. Hopefully Charles will go lo-res to help matters.

NBC still hasn't broken in with the news, just a local report noting he's been executed and the full story at 11pm.

Well, it is done.

I can't help but wonder what his last thoughts were.

I know that I would be afraid...I just wonder if God was calling him to account for his sins.

Justice was done here on Earth and justice will be done along the higher plane.

I suppose that I am humanizing him too much, which is normal seeing as I'm an actual human. He was a monster and I don't know how they think...it's inconcievable to me that anyone can think and act the way he did. Yet, I still wonder if he felt any sorrow at all for his actions.

As a Christian, I pray for the redemption of sinners. People think that I am a wimp because I pray for sinners and people who consider me an enemy, but I am told, as a Christian, that I am supposed to pray for "those who trespass against us". That would be the difference between us and the Islamofacists. We pray for those who don't believe and the Islamfacists behead those who don't.

Countdown to the collapse of the Iraqi resistance begins ... now.

Saddam - pwned

Happy New Year, hope Castro is next

Saddam is now living impaired. Not a moment too soon. A small measure of justice has been accomplished now.

They plan to bury him in an unmarked grave. I suggest they give a public viewing of Saddam so the public can get a piece of Saddam. Takes care of his grave becoming a rallying point.

Aww shucks, he wants wanted to be a martyr.

Good to see we're back...

Maybe Gerald Ford will get to kick Saddam in the nuts for us before Saddam is being "processed" down to Hell.....

See ya! Wouldn't want to be ya!

Hey, dude, way ta hang.

CBS reports that it was done just before 10 PM EST (7 PM PST) this evening, in front of witnesses.

We should all remember at this point that it was the Iraqi people who suffered most at the hands of this ....bastard..... and his cronies. And that it was the Iraqi people, under their new constitution, which they voted into being, that tried and convicted him, and levied the ultimate penalty of a purely temporal authority upon him. There will be those in the coming days who will call this a "show trial", and claim it was the United States which executed him. And they will be either ignorantly wrong, or deliberately lying. (Neither one will come as a surprise to me, frankly.)

Saddam Hussein has finally found out what real justice is. The hard way.

Other "maximum leaders" in that region should carefully consider his fate. They may find that their own peoples may be no more charitably disposed toward them in the future. And now those peoples have seen that change is possible.

There could be some very hard times ahead for the likes of Assad, Ahmadinejad, and their ilk.

We can hope, anyway.

It feels good that my year in Iraq has in some small way been vindicated. We are rid of him.... Who's next?...

The execution was filmed, which one would expect to verify such things. I imagine that they'll also to an autopsy to confirm he's dead - laying him out on a slab like they did to his sons.

I heard that they're going to find a secret burial place for him and that they're not going to hand his remains over to his daughter for burial outside Iraq.

LGF seemed to be down.

Here is video from CTV, and it appears to be true!

Hello dead thread!

The Iraqi people are to be congratulated as one of the first Middle Eastern societies to get justice in their lifetime.

It is doubly interesting that CBS did NOT break into programming to announce that Gerald Ford had died (ABC & NBC did). CBS just ran a ticker across the bottom of the screen.

I think of every innocent person trying to re-build Iraq who has been blown apart, decapitated or otherwise murdered by Saddam's Bathist and his insurgents.

I think of the Kurds Saddam gassed, and the thousands upon thousands of people he ordered tortured and killed.

Am I happy he's dead? Literally happy?

You bet your ass.

In the words of Clint Eastwood, Some people just need killin.

It really is further proof, like more is needed, that the likes of the Daily Kos, and Huffington Post, and other various leftist kook holes, are 100% out of touch with any reality.

Congratulations Mr. Bush, you got your revenge

By murdering him we have become no better than he was. We did not show the compassion that he did not show those in his country. Nor did we afford him a fair and unbiased trial, but instead used his techniques of changing the judges anytime they appeared to disagree with the United States’ policy in Iraq.

Just read 103 comments at Kos … not one was pleased … not even relieved. As a matter of fact many of them are getting even more angry if you can imagine that! I guess that makes sense if you understand their logic – they think Bush was the evil guy in this struggle.

Not Hell yeah, in my name!

Saddam COULD HAVE been treated to a "Mussolini"...

You know, where angry victims drag him into the street, beat him severely, hang him by his heels naked, and finish killing him publicly and at the hands of the people...

Good riddance to scum! I only wish that he could have been joined on the gallows by Ahmadinejad, Haniyeh, Nasrallah and the corpses of Assad and ARafat.

One hopes for a two-fer, according to FNC we got a 3-fer. The new year is off to a great start! Like I said before, I think that Saddam's death will cause a lessening in the violence in Iraq.

Wish I had an ICBM to fire in the air right now!

I'm on Al Jazeera sites, English and Arabic, trying to see if they have pictures or video.

In his Friday sermon, a mosque preacher in the Shiite holy city of Najaf called Saddam’s execution “God’s gift to Iraqis.”

Oh, God, you know what Saddam has done! He killed millions of Iraqis in prisons, in wars with neighboring countries and he is responsible for mass graves. Oh God, we ask you to take revenge on Saddam,” said Sheik Sadralddin al-Qubanji, a member of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, known as SCIRI.

NEWSFLASH: SADDAM IS STILL DEAD!

CNN are such pricks.

They mentioned that footage of the execution will be made available by Al-Arabiya. CNN will be debating the issue internally and being "very sensitive" in the manner in which they show it, probably only showing the lead-up and the aftermath, but not the execution itself.

They were never that sensitive when they showed footage of American soldiers being shot.

The KozKidlets are just foaming at the mouth over this. SO much BDS over there that it's really kinda disturbing that their leader is viewed by the DNC as the 'most influential voice of the left' or however it was put when I heard it on the tube.

Iraqi-Americans Cheer Reports of Saddam's Execution

Friday, 29 Dec 2006, 10:41 PM EST

Iraqi-Americans in Dearborn celebrate the reported execution of former Iraqi dictator
Saddam Hussein.

By KRISTIN LONGLEY
Associated Press Writer

DEARBORN, Mich. -- A crowd of Iraqi-Americans cheered and cried late Friday outside a mosque as some Arab media reported that Saddam Hussein was executed.

The crowd of more than 150 had gathered earlier in anticipation of Saddam's execution, praying for the death of the former Iraqi dictator as people honked car horns, sang and danced in celebration.

Chants of "Now there's peace, Saddam is dead" in English and Arabic rang into the night in this Detroit suburb.

Imam Husham Al-Husainy, the director of the center, said members of the center prayed for Saddam's death. Outside, traffic slowed as people drove in circles around the mosque, honking horns and flashing peace signs.

"This is our celebration of the death of Saddam," he said while standing on top of a car following reports that Saddam had been hanged. "The gift of our New Year is the murder of Saddam Hussein.

"If you want to share the Iraqi people's happiness for the death of Saddam, raise your voice and your hands."

The crowd responded with cheers.

The official witnesses to Saddam's impending execution gathered in Baghdad's fortified Green Zone in final preparation for his hanging, as state television broadcast footage of his regime's atrocities.

Some Arab media, including Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya and the U.S.-financed Al-Hurrah, reported that Saddam had been executed. There was no confirmation from the Iraqi government.

As Odilo Globocnik said when told that Reinhard Heydrich had died, "Thank God that sow's gone to the butcher."

It's not that Katie is a woman -- she's a self-important woman journalist.

Remember how Dan Rather's eyes glistened during the Idaho floods? My husband and I laughed our arses off at that one.

She's just the new generation: Look at me emote while I deliver the neo-con's evil deeds!

TO: Charles Johnson
RE: I Sure Hope....

....someone is going to do a DNA check to make sure that the guy the Iraqis hung is the same one we had in custody all this time.

A toast to Iraqi republican justice.

While not as emotionally satisfying as the end of Ceaucescu and his wife may have been for the people of Romania, it certainly is a tribute to the rapid emergence of constitutional government in Iraq.

It is good to have put an end to any possibility of his returning to shredding and dissolving other Iraqis and others. I can breathe more freely, now that I don't have to share the air with the likes of that monster.

And a salute to the American and coalition efforts that have enabled us and the people of Iraq to reach this day.

The execution video will be shown as part of the next "Dirty Jobs" show...

UPDATE to Kos et alia: Saddam was NOT murdered!

Saddam was given a fair trial, in accord with Iraqi law; found guilty; given a chance and time and representation TO APPEAL...

Saddam's conviction was upheld.

Saddam was executed, NOT MURDERED... killing people without trial, without taking into consideration that they were infants, children, women, old men... THAT is MURDER, most foul!

I hear that, so that ex-baathists won't turn his gravesite into a shrine, he'll be buried in an unknown, unmarked grave

Flash!

And the latest news report from Hell.

Saddam has joined his two sons at the newly installed D.R. Chipper-Shredder station in the 11th circle of Hell (Dante's original map, while accurate at the time did not, foresee the need for additional circles for Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler). At the chipper shredder facility, Saddam and the boys will take turns for the rest of eternity feeding each other through a red hot D.R. Chipper Shredder. A 15 minute interval between shreddings is provided to allow the three Hussein's to be physically reconstituted so as to fully appreciate the exquisite sensation of each cycle. The Devil, while sipping a strawberry Margarita, said that he had the facility built "to accommodate the new generation" of civilization destroying criminals that will eventually come his way, you know, people like Kofi Annan, and that little shit from Iran".

I would just like to say that I hope Saddam did not suffer and that we should not rejoice when fellow human beings are murdered by the state and as religious people we should pray for Saddams eternal soul and hope that blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda....what the fuck am I smoking?

Rot in Hell Saddam.

You are just the first of many future ME despots to find out what payback means.

Yeah...it really is a Bitch.

RIP ? I don't think so

burn in hell you sack of shit

Saddam just got a new lawyer.His name is William Kunstler.

Kunstler immediately filed a motion to stop Satan from raping saddam's "back side"

Motion------Denied

Back in the 18th century in London, hanging days were public holidays where tens of thousands attended to either cheer or jeer the felon who was to be executed at Tyburn (the place of execution where Marble Arch now stands). Some of the "felons" such as the famous highwayman Jack Sheppard would even recite poetry and give dying speeches to the crowd, reveling in their temporary fame. Somehow I doubt that Saddam was in a jovial mood.

Saddam dead and Christian victory in Somalia,

That's a good buzz.

God Bless Ethiopia

Guys, how long before the media starts reporting every single death and blaming it on the hanging of Saddam? CIVIL WAR!

AP's story describes the deceased as the "shotgun-waving dictator who ruled Iraq with a remorseless brutality for a quarter-century" and describes the execution as "a grim end for the 69-year-old leader who had vexed three U.S. presidents."

Another grim milestone, eh?

This reminds me of an old Klingon saying....

"I hope pain is something you enjoy."

It won't be pleasant where he's going.

Just a sampling of what's out there from the other side of the aisle:

NYT - how much of the execution should be shown (I say all of it)

HuffPo's Martin Lewis shows that he's not the comic that his name might otherwise indicate.

Gun Totin Liberal just keeps noting the US bodycount.

My retort to such blatherings is simple: weigh the relative cost of under 3,000 soldiers to liberate 30 million people from a genocidal dictator who murdered hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, started wars with its neighbors, and caused incalculable environmental damage to the region (remember dumping all that oil into the Gulf and starting all those oil well fires?!).

He deserved to die and the costs to eliminate such a dictator and dangerous figure were worth it. They still are.

189- digga

I don't think there are any virgins where Saddam is going....just fire and pain and lots of both.

Queen Boadicea was a woman.

So was my mother.

Either one would, I am sure, have pulled the lever to drop the sod.

In fact, my late mother (God rest her soul) said in 1991 re Saddam, "All it takes to solve that problem is one bullet. If I was able, I'd go over there and deliver it myself."

Couric's problem isn't her gender.

It's being a self-deluded pseudo-philosopher who's been living in her own little dream world so long that when reality intrudes, she goes into brainlock- what Ayn Rand called "blank-out". (cf. Atlas Shrugged.) When confronted with facts that conflict with their theories, people of her philosophical bent invariably cannot deal with them.

This is why giving them power, influence, or even notoriety is a very bad idea. Rather like getting into a car driven by Daffy Duck.

No, I shouldn't say that. It's unfair.

Sorry about that, Daff'.

cheers

eon

How many fucking times is Anderson Cooper going to talk about how careful and "judicious" CNN's going to be in airing video of the execution?

How judicious was CNN in airing al-Qaedist snuff films of the murder of American soldiers?

You are probably right, he (if it is a he) is saying he doesn't have one and even if he could get one, it would be classified, so I am not being played with, just hopeful (in a sick sort of way!)

Sorry (or not sorry) to tell you but William Kunstler is defending "clients" in Hell. He died several years ago. Maybe Ramsey Clark was who you were thinking of.

I gotta go see what Iraq the Model has to say.

HANGMAN: Here's one.
GUARD: OK.
SADDAM: I'm not dead!
GUARD: What?
HANGMAN: Nothing. Here's your ninepence.
SADDAM: I'm not dead!
GUARD:'Ere. He says he's not dead!
HANGMAN: Yes he is.
SADDAM: I'm not!
GUARD: He isn't?
HANGMAN: Well, he will be soon. It's almost 6:00.
SADDAM: I might get off.
HANGMAN: No you're not. You'll be stone dead in a moment.
GUARD: Oh, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
SADDAM: I don't want to go on the rope!
HANGMAN: Oh, don't be such a baby.
GUARD: I can't take him.
SADDAM: I feel fine!
HANGMAN: Well, do us a favor.
GUARD: I can't.
HANGMAN: Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes?
GUARD: No, I've got to go to the mullahs. They've lost nine today.
HANGMAN: Well, when's the next one?
GUARD: Thursday.
SADDAM: I think I'll go for a walk.
HANGMAN: You're not fooling anyone you know. Look, isn't there something you can do?
SADDAM: [singing] I feel happy... I feel happy.[drop]

Well of course the KosKiddies are all in uproar. They are tools of Satan after all.

As to the lack of women at the celebrations in Dearbornistan...well it's another example of how fecking wrong Islam is.

People say that Christianity and Judiasm is mysoginistic, but it isn't true. Women are to be respected in both faiths! In fact, the New testament says that men are to respect their wives and mothers.

Not veil them from head to foot, keep them ignorant and housebound only to give birth every two years and risk dying from Puperal fever because they aren't allowed Doctors because men who aren't their husbands and touch them and the women aren't allowed to go to school and thus can't become Doctors so that they can treat the women.

It's so screwed up on so many levels.

Breaking, from CNN: Iraq still a bloody, warring country. However, slightly less crowded.

Enjoy the virg... raisins, asshole.

Say hi to Usay and Qusay for us.

At the risk of sounding like a party-pooping liberal weenie-like being, I am not dancing with drink in hand. I am just incredibly sad at the overwhelming evil in this world, and for those who have had to endure it. I'm satisfied that justice has been served, and that is a good thing. But celebrate death? I can't. I think the death that leads to hell is a horrible and sobering thing.

Flame away :)

Celebrations in Dearborn Michigan are being reported. Heh.

I know very well the whereabouts of Kunstler and why he is now able to take saddam as a client

Hey, was the Green Helment Guy there? Or what about that AP source?

#233

More like "vexed two presidents and vaguely distracted another president between photo ops and intern suckjobs"

By murdering him we have become no better than he was. We did not show the compassion that he did not show those in his country. Nor did we afford him a fair and unbiased trial, but instead used his techniques of changing the judges anytime they appeared to disagree with the United States’ policy in Iraq.

Ok...did the koskids forget that WE didn't try saddamn, the new Iraqi government did? Or am I missing something?

Woo hoo!

Just got independant confirmation!

-Saddam, may you rot in whatever hell you believe in...

#247 mamawinger

Nope, you don't sound liberal at all. I was just telling my BF that I know justice has been done here on Earth and that justice will be done with God. I think it's sad that he will spent the rest of eternity seperated from God.

I can't think of anything more pitious or horrible. But we are given free will and Saddam CHOSE to be who he was.

What gets me is, if I had that kind of power, I'd have used it for good. But that's me. The wicked do seem to flourish like the bay tree, but everything has it's season. Saddam has just had his.

You're overlooking one little thing: He's earned it.

Al-Arabiya has a less than flattering photo of Saddam on their website with him wiping his nose.

Charles, can we use this as his final good-bye photo? Could someone photoshop in a Cheetos bag?

#247 mama winger

Would never flame you. I'm too old and tired to deal with Junior Winger if I did.

How is that boy doing BTW?

Saddam has always been the cream of human goodness, why, in all the time I've known him, he's never done anything immoral . . .

unless you count the preschooler's prostitute ring,

. . . or anything illegal . . .

unless you count all the times he sold dope disguised as a nun

He's nothing but a lowdown, double-dealing, backstabbing, larcenous perverted worm!

Hangin's too good for him!

Burning's too good for him!

He should be torn into itty bitty pieces and buried alive

For those who have suffered, I believe they can celebrate.

A close friend of my family is from Haiti, and she danced when Duvalier died. He could no longer harm Haiti.

This is justice -- Saddam can only haunt but not harm Iraq.

These responses kinda put a new twist on 'The Dead Thread'.

Break out the Cabin Still and toast to send his murdering soul to Hell.

Anyone got films yet of him dancing in mid air?

Well of course he did. What makes you think I don't recognize that?

Dec 13, 2003: Saddam CAPTURED by US forces!

Dec 30, 2006: Saddam legally executed

In my reckoning, that's THREE YEARS and 16 days of safety, food and LIFE that Saddam denied to his million-some victims!

He was such a nice boy, very quiet...we never thought he'd be involved with anything like this, it's hard to believe it........

Anderson, these ain't floaters in the Ninth Ward that maybe we weren't expecting to come across on the TV.

This is a day of justice and we all want ---and expect to see--- visual proof of Saddam and his fellow-murderers' carcasses.

Iowahawk? Do you know yet if Zarqawi is scheduled to give Saddam a tour?

#155 rickl

"Obsolete" may be too strong a word. But the real test is: who will show the video first? I'm putting 2 bits that the Internet comes out fastest.

Three years ago Saddam trusted French obstructionism and the glacial machinations of the UN Security Council to preserve his regime and his life.

Tonight Saddam was executed.

Moral of this story: Never trust the French or the UN. They will always let you down.

The KozKidlets are just foaming at the mouth over this. SO much BDS over there that it's really kinda disturbing that their leader is viewed by the DNC as the 'most influential voice of the left' or however it was put when I heard it on the tube.

Once upon a a time ago I once wrote about the Left:

Socialists are inherently parasitic and thus cannot take "no" for an answer to their demands for obedience and the material goods they need to exist. If they did so they would wither away and die.

A dictator, on the other hand, does not have to take "no" for answer. Thus socialists are by necessity inclined to favor dictatorships over citizen-ruled republics.

When they see a dictator in the dock, they see their own hopes and desires go with him.

Do I really need to say more?

Where I do respect your feelings, I also belive in 'do unto others'....and he was lucky in the fact that he didn't get what he did. He lucked out and only hung. I wish I could've been the one that pulled the lever......
