Well Baby Bush has revenged his father...
It has only cost 3000 and counting US lives.
All I want to know is are they going to broad cast this or what I have been watching Fox all afternoon... I think it should be broadcast but than again I question broadcasting it because in some circles it will make him look like a martyer
You don't actually think Bush decided to go to war to avenge his father, do you?Quote:

At this point I could careless what happens to him. Killing him won't change the situation there at all. Iraq is splinted country with no chance of a lasting unified peace.
As far as broadcast I think it won't be on the US networks, but it'll make its way onto Youtube soon enough.
I'd rather have him attached to a torture device for the rest of his life. Hanging seems like the easy way out.
The killing of Saddam is actually a huge mark in world history. It's right up there with the killing of Mussolini. Pardon me if it sounds barbaric of me, but I'd want to see video of itjust to witness that history. Heck, Mussolini hanging upside down at a gas station is in many high school history books.
So true Phil, it's getting close to dying time and Saddam needs to die. It's not about changing anything in Iraq. That has already taken place. The day the people were allowed to vote. Now a sentence is simply being carried out.Quote:

I'm afraid that actually didn't do that much in terms of the stability of Iraq.Quote:

Now this barbaric man is going to be put out of his misery and I think it is safe to say many will rejoyce over it. I will a little more pleased with this planet after the gallow has done its job on him. They are going to play with his head a little bit before they kill him with the red card deal etc etc I have also heard.
Has nothing to do with that. The whole freedom thing in Iraq is a process that doesn't just happen overnight.Quote:

10:05, he is dead, burn in hell.
Saddam has already been killed, I imagine we will see a video in the next few days.
No matter if you like Bush's policies or not, you have to admit, the world is a whole lot better off without Saddam on it.
Wow, happened so fast. I wonder if he knew that he wouldn't be seeing 2007.
Expect some tight security over the coming weeks at airports and landmarks.
I wasn't sure if it would go through, assuming something would stop the execution from happening. I'm jsut concerned about retaliation at this point.
