Saddam hussein executed [Merged]

admiralofthefleet

Saddam Hussein was executed at 3:05 Irish time this morning (30/12/06)

Im not in favour of the death penalty on any grounds, in my opinion it will only add to the trouble in iraq as he will be made a martyr, he should imo serve a life penalty with absolutely no privilages.

what does everyone think about this

*btw i in no way support saddam in any way

I thought that was already adopted by US marines for when they're off shooting civilians?

For years I thought that I was in favour of the death penalty, a life for a life etc. But now, after giving it some serious thought, I seriously cannot condone the hanging of Saddam. It's no better than he was and has caused me to rethink my whole attitude to death penalties.

- If he spent the rest of his days regretting his abhorrent, evil ways on a concrete cell floor would [in some ways] be preferable to me......

......but you cannot expect the idiots [for they will be to the forefront I'm sure] that formerly worshipped the twat to return just punishment for his [ahem] misdemeanours can you ?

Try a Google search for: Saddam torture

- If even 1% of the results are half true - then you have a reason to smile at the impending execution of this skid-mark.

should those who supported his regime also be punished ? ( USA and the at least 35 other countries selling arms to him during the first Gulf war, and not even a bad word in the media during that war )

The RAF were bombing Iraqi civilians in the 20's and the British military using poison gas on them too. Some of those people are possibly still alive - what should be done ?

In fairness they haven't confirmed anything, other that it may happen. Reports two days ago was that it would be within thirty days. Tbh I don't think that it will happen just before a major muslim holiday, mucho incitment.

This is a pay per view event.

I thought incitment was what they wanted. They're pretty good at it.

From ITN (itn.co.uk)

Saddam Hussein's execution's expected to take place within the next few hours.

His death warrant's apparently been signed by Iraq's prime minister.

National Security Advisor Mowaffak Al Rubaie says the world will have proof
when the former dictator's dead.

Meanwhile, it's feared British troops in Iraq could be the target of a violent
backlash, after the execution.

Rose Gentle, whose son Gordon was killed early in the war, says she would have preferred Saddam's imprisonment.

One-hundred-and-twenty-seven service men and women have died in Iraq since March 2003.

A US official in Baghdad has denied reports that the former Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein, has been handed over to Iraqi authorites to be hanged.

There is speculation that the former Iraqi dictator will be executed by Saturday at the latest.
...
The defence lawyer also said he thought Saddam might well die on Saturday after lawyers were told to collect his belongings.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6218245.stm

Iraq's Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki, has said he wants the execution to take place before the end of the year.
...
That would be before the start of the Islamic holiday of Eid, which begins at noon on Saturday (0900 GMT) and continues into next week.

A US official in Baghdad has denied reports that the former Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein, has been handed over to Iraqi authorites to be hanged.- Does that remind any of the Bible belters of Easter ?

Raiser

Well history itself and notable historical events are a once off - they occur, are documented and recorded and they, naturally, NEVER recur.

With this in mind I will take myself to the bed - fart twice, scratch my testicles and sleep soundly in the knowledge that when I awake Saddam will be as stifff-ff as a priest in a playground.

- To wait up would be an extension of courtesy that is of course undeserved in this instance.

Aye, it is so true though.

It is just laughable the way the news channels in the US go about things like this. "The Execution of Saddam Hussein" is on CNN right now.

Is it wrong to find these jokes funny?:rolleyes:

Jezus CNN are goin all out. BBC too. Supprisingly Sky is showing different news. I wonder how much we will actually get to see of it. Those Muslim stations are mad. They show everything.

Not that I want to see it of course.

His trial was fixed I tells ya! Good riddance anyway. A taste of his own medicine.

Yes, no doubt they'll have footage on with crap like 'The War on Terror' coming up everytime he's shown. :rolleyes:

If they think hanging Saddam is justice then they can hang all the scum who supported him including Bush's father and Thatcher.

They can also hang Blair and Bush. How many peoples death have they been responsible for?

History repeats itself again. Just like at the end of WWII, only the losers in the war between two groups of mass murders get done. :mad:
