Now that the surreal feeling has passed of seeing that ****er hang, has anyone really looked at the video at how disgraceful it is? Could the Iraqi government been any worse in how they went about performing the execution?

They knew Saddam would eventually hang so where do they put the rickety-looking gallows? Inside mom and dad’s Wisconsin suburb basement. All of us guards will meet-up after a few beers in blue jeans, leather jackets, cargo pants, and track suits if we’re lucky, to go get Saddam after his evening bm. We’ll quickly escort Saddam’s *** in front of an audience of Shiites that praise Muqtada Al Sadr - the POS coward Shiite cleric figurehead - after Saddam’s death. And who better to execute him than a Shiite executioner that parades over his lifeless body according to recent reports.

Good job fellas! Prove positive that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. You guys will always be ignorant monkeys from the middle-ages incapable of anything remotely structured. We’ve unsuccessfully replaced a Sunni regime with a Shiite militia! Can we just hand this over to Iran now please!? ****.

they actually could have done a lot worse but our government held on to him until the last minute to avoid any extreme humiliation....supposedly

I guess the old saying 'Two wrongs don't make a right' could be applied to this situation. Everyone I have seen this past week smiles in glee, and almost religiously pronouce to me Saddam is dead. My occasional reply was, 'Does it really even matter to you?'

Don't get me wrong, Saddam is a criminal; But why destroy the only man who was in direct correlation with the United States, and it's primary officials, uninterrupted for nearly two decades. It's almost like the mob killing a key witness before testimony. A lot of pertenant information was hung on the end of that rope. I only hope our Nation's character doesn't share the same fate.

Direct correlation how? In that we've been enemies for years? What kind of question is this? I suppose nothing gets done in your house? Meh... that pipe has been leaking for years so what's the point in fixing it now. We just captured the guy and the Iraqis did the rest. It would of taken decades to try him for the hundreds of thousands of deaths he was responsible for so instead they try him on one series of events to make it simple. And he wasn't uninterrupted. We had to stop him from going to Kuwait too. There's no on and off switch strapped to Saddam's back. Getting him wasn't exactly easy, especially considering you have to consider liberation and the fact he has a half dozen looklikes. Just look at how poorly the liberation is going now. If it were so easy then Saddam would have been gone years ago and the “Iraq democracy” would be thriving. This ties into another thing: Presidency. 8 of your twenty years were tied up by a man that would rather wag the dog with desert fox on the WMD issue than anything else. So timing in this respect is huge. Reagan had an interest in him with Iran, Bush Sr. went after him, Clinton did nothing as usual for 8 years, and Bush Jr. finally finished him.

The video a shameful look into how bad it is over there. Replacing a Sunni dictator with a "legal" vengeful mob of Shiites. Mob justice is rarely justice. Granted, I still think its a Good Thing[tm] Saddam is gone, but is it significantly better for the people of the region as a whole?

Thankfully, one man spoke up against the taunting, but still that is one man in a room of 20 or so, with a proper sense of justice and solemnity. The only other man that seemed to understand the situation was Saddam himself, when he asked "Is this how real men behave?" Not that his comment absolves him of 20 years as a violent dictator, but its sad that save for the judge that ratified Saddam's execution, the one with the most sense about him was Saddam. It doesn't bode well for Iraq.

Gibberish. Jammed with inconsistency. Cut the bull****, I won't reply to any of it.

Wait, what? Just explain the "direct correlation" then. The only non-aggressive correlation you have is that we (and the rest of the world) bought oil from Iraq and had an interest in Saddam for Iran in the late 20th. Give me your best shot.

The point of this thread is NOT the so-called correlation between the USA and Iraq as the new Iraqi government executed Saddam. They did not appeal his execution to US Federal court system. Your attempt to conjure anything remotely significant has failed. Read nKoan’s post to grasp what this thread is about.

Do not misinterpret my first post as a question; It is a statement. Nothing had been mentioned of Saddam's trial, oil, or Iraq's 'democracy'. Stop the moronic insinuating.
Here's a question for you, although.
Is it that hard to understand correlation between governments and their 'deciders'? Is the only correlation, war?
For the sake of thread topic, and your personal anguish over my statement; Throw them to the wolves.
