Saddam Hussein is Dead

[Hellkite]

It's about Fraking time this A$$hole is dead

 

[Syf]

I was just reading that they Hung him and his posse. That's what he gets for being a "Genocidal maniac".

I hope this will deflate the insurgency in Iraq (doubtful). One can only hope. It would be nice to see all the allied forces withdraw from there soon.

 

[Harrie]

:x I was hoping it'd be televised here so we could have a superbowl-ish party, no such luck. Oh well, atleast he's gone, that's all that matters.

I know my Mom thought that there'd have been a last ditch attempt by what ever supporters he had left to save him.

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

Glad to hear it. Maybe now the people of that region can truely start to move on to a better future. One can always hope.

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

I just hope this will calm down Iraq, so that the British and American troops can return back home and the Iraqis have an independent nation.

, Heard it on the radio at 3 but fell asleep before the full story came on . Glad that this crazed c**t is dead

but i dont think iraq will calm down to fast , need to make sure that iraq is safe first . to many bombs ect , the jobs not done yet

Btw great picture , wonder where the video is

 

[TM150]

If you want o see how he die look over in some nasty video-photo places, I don't celebrate his death beacuase on my point of view this will only get worst the things for at least a fw months...

 

[Paul]

O well , up to you tib , it was filmed and Sky News have it ( they only showed some a pal sayed then cut it off cause it was to offensive ect ) so it would be somewhere

*Me joins up with Harrie

As an international community, I don't think we should be "happy" of any life being terminated. However, view it as part of the nessasary evils of politics and war. Saddam Did commit sever interenational crimes. Both against his own country, and and others around him. I personally hope that all those others that "would" become like him, will think twice before tempting the fates. I fear that those that say this will spark more violence in the short term, are right. However, I hope to be wrong.

Now, on the note of those that have fought in the wars against Saddam, and his kind, My hat is off to you. That's one less evil dictator in this world. Thank you (to those that fight today), all those that have fought in the past, and those that will fight the good fight in the future.

 

[TM150]

Well the most "heavy" thing that I have find is the death body of him, and actually don't wan't see more...

 

[Hellkite]

true

But As the one of us that is going to heading back to that God forsaken country ""all to soon"" I have to say that I'm pleased that he dead

 

[TM150]

Well I don't want to be "catastrophic" (SP?), Nostradamus sayed that the 3 WW will begin on places like Iraq and such and considering that at least one have been true...

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

Nostradamus didn't even know what or where Iraq was and we are far away from WW3, thankfully.

I also do not celebrate the death of a person, no matter what person, though I also think that the execution of Saddam Hussein is "right". In fact, I am even against forms of death penalty, but this man deserved it.

 

[Cylon]

i dont think he should have been executed, killing is wrong even if you were killing a killer.

Hopefully some of the violence in iraq will end now.

 

[TM150]

News here that the violance is high... as I said this was no where to good... but hopefully in a few months they will be neutralized or they will calm down

 

[Jess]

The problem with the execution is that now Saddam is seen as a martyr, not as the a**hole that he really was.

I also don't agree with the death penalty but this is one man who truly deserved it.

 

[Blindeye]

This was done on a Sunni Holiday, it will inflame the Sunnis more.

I think we should have let the Iraqis do this themselves, they probably would have done a better job like a Mussolini style execution (hung him from his ankles in the plaza of some place and let the Italians see him dead).

Still, I was glad they didn't air it in America, we have to try and uphold some degree of decorum. I still cannot believe all the people who think this avenges 9/11, misguided ignorant people who have been lied to....

 

[Paul]

Blindeye it WAS the iraq's who did it . America handed Saddam over to them at the gallows . Who did you think all the guys in the masks where ?

 

[Harrie]

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, except that some members of Al-quaeda are from there.

9/11 will not be attoned for until every last member of Al-quaeda is dead and left to the carrion birds.

 

[Syf]

Your right Blindeye, this was nothing to do with the 9-11 attack on the USA. It is sad to hear people talk about it like that.

Saddam is dead now. I do not agree with murder in any form myself. But also, I do believe in "A Eye for an Eye". Saddam is dead and hopefully this will put down some of the hardship that the "decent" Iraq people (not the insurgents mind you) have been hoping for. I hope this will serve as a lesson for others to learn. That's all I can hope for (besides the fighting to end).

What else could they have done with Saddam? As long as he was alive, was he not a threat to the Iraqi people, and the rest of the free world? Who in the world should be the ones to learn from Saddam's mistakes? I leave these questions for us to ponder.

 

[TM150]

Bad tonges said the US just invaded Iraq for it petroluem, and I nearly sure of it.

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

The USA did not invade Iraq for oil. That is a slander spread by even the media in the USA for political gain. The USA and other countries are giving the Iraqi people its own government back. If the USA was there for oil then you would not see the USA giving control back to the people of Iraq.

I do not agree with murder as well. But Saddam was handed over to his own people. He was put on trial by his own religion even. Every group he claimed would support him had someone involved in him being conviced. I am glad to see that he was given his day in court. The evidence was presented and he was convicted. Noone can say the USA killed him. His own people that he abused and exicuted all the time were the ones that judged him and ultimately hung him. I myself do not care to see the video or pictures of it. News of it is enough for me.

I know that Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. BUT Saddam did celebrate it. AND Iraq constituted a threat to every nation. I know the current death toll is not a good one. A death toll of 1 is to high. But I would rather take the current death toll then what might have been had the world not put a stop to an evil dictator like Saddam. The best way to stop terrorist is to make sure no organized country would offer thier support. I am happy to see that the world has learned from such wars like WW1 and WW2. That it is possible to prevent a World War if you can keep the ones who will start it out of power.

Now the old Iraq can be buried with him and a new stronger, more unified free Iraq can raise from the ashes. The world and Iraq are better off with Saddam out of the picture.

i thought they went looking for weapons of mass destruction that they never found.
They may have gone to stop saddam but i think oil was a motive as well

Give any smart criminal a 3 month warning you will search thier house AND tell them what you will look for. How many would move or hide whatever it is. So, you could not find it and make it look foolish you even searched. Iraq is a big country with lots of open space. So, is it's allie Iran. Saddam was smart. Only reason he fell was b/c he was overpowered. Iraq in its former self was outsmarted, out skilled, and overpowered by American and allied troops. Debate if you wish the reasons for the war but that requires another thread and would only be an arguement. It would be to political. Atleast all can agree that the world is much more safe now then it was when Saddam was alive.

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

So, is it's allie Iran.

Iran was not Iraq's allie, in fact, these two nations fought a bloody war against ech other, utilizing US American, French, German, British, Soviet, Italian weapons on both sides. In the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980's the use of Chemical Weapons was common for both Iran and Iraq.

During Operation Iraqi Freedom and the troop stationing before, Iran did not support Iraq in any form, it only protested about a carrier group near their seaborder!


Why this war has been fought? Nobody here really knows. Oil? Considering the US government's top members are big in oil business (hey, there is a tanker named fter Conoleezza Rice). Mass Destruction Weapons? You know why we know he had only chemical weapons? Germany, USA and France still have the accounts for it!
Osama? Are you kidding me? Saddam was not very fond of al-Qaeda.

 

[Hellkite]

Intrepid is right Saddam was not very fond of al-Qaeda. or any group that was not under his control and his only true allie was Syria a fellow (Ba'th) country "Islamic Fascist " and money ties mostly to Russia but a lesser astent to France and Germany throughout the 90"s

As to Mass Destruction Weapons chemical weapons yes they were given to him by U.S.A. and the Western power back in the late 70"S

 

[Lord_Trekie]

All I can say is it's about time, though with this exection he will be viewed as a martyr. If they could have they should have kept him in solitary confinement til the end of his days.

Civil war? I think not. By definition it is a war between 2 groups of the same country that both control land and have thier own forms of government. The insurgents would not dare show themselves by controling land and they have no form of government. They are nothing more then terrorist attempting to scare people into thier control. If they want a civil war let them show themselves in the desert and go toe to toe with the forces trying to rid Iraq of the violence. Terrorist are the lowest scum of the earth. They live and die to scare civilians into place. It is not a civil war. Just a bunch of terrorist trying to stop the people of Iraq from getting thier own government. B/c after Iraq gets it then every other country will want it in that region. Saddam is not martyr. They might try to use him as one but you must remember that they very same people who would cry his name in battle are the same ones that would cry for his release if he were alive. Atleast now He can not get out and affect what the terrorist do.
