Saddam will be hanged by Sunday

[moymch]

To bad we can't see it.

I caught a show about his 2 sons who were killed by US marines in an attack early on in the Iraq war. The show aired yesterday on the History Channel, man his 2 kids were ruthless killers they made Saddam look like a pussy cat, what a f*cked up family that was! He will surely get what's coming to him.

There have been 13 different reports of when this will take place. As for the history of his family, look even deeper his father was involved with Nazi Germany...there was another special on The History Channel that discussed his fathers and uncles. But also keep in mind that this is the same guy Donny Rumsfeld was palm pressing with back in the 80's when he was fighting Iran.

As far as being able to "see" the execution. It is established practice in Iraq to video tape hangings and display them to the public afterwards. Something like 13 people were hanged a few weeks ago in Iraq, it was video taped then aired.

Sick indeed! Not to steel the thread but, Wagner how do you think our Birds will fare against Vick and the Falcons...double digit win??

[Wagner]

OT: I predict a victory of 28-14. We are not good at covering QB's once they take off running. Hence Romo having rushing yards, even in defeat and Vince Young killing us.

If having family who was involved with Nazi Germany was a crime, then 2 of the last 3 presidents would be guilty. And anyway, Saddam's father died before he was born and he was actually raised by his uncle.

Saddam actually started in politics working for the CIA as an assassin back in the 1950s.

Oh no, I smell another conspiracy theorist.

Sorry I should have said hanged. I was corrected on Bimmerforums already. The end result will still be the same.

How nice, trying to use the US to keep him from dieing. Some hard @ss he is:


Attorneys for Saddam Hussein are seeking a temporary restraining order in a U.S. court to block the former Iraqi leader's execution, CNN confirms.

No conspiracy "theory". Just conspiracy fact that you are probably ignorant about...

From the encyclopedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddam_Hussein

In 1958, a year after Saddam had joined the Ba'ath party, army officers led by General Abdul Karim Qassim overthrew Faisal II of Iraq. The Ba'athists opposed the new government, and in 1959, Saddam was involved in the attempted United States-backed plot to assassinate Qassim.

Saddam was shot in the leg, but escaped to Tikrit with the help of CIA and Egyptian intelligence agents. Saddam then crossed into Syria and was transferred to Beirut for a brief CIA training course. From there he moved to Cairo where he made frequent visits to the American embassy. During this time the CIA placed him in an upper-class apartment observed by CIA and Egyptian operatives.

Concerned about Qassim's growing ties to Communists, the CIA gave assistance to the Ba'ath Party and other regime opponents. Army officers with ties to the Ba'ath Party overthrew Qassim in a coup in 1963. Ba'athist leaders were appointed to the cabinet and Abdul Salam Arif became president. Arif dismissed and arrested the Ba'athist leaders later that year. Saddam returned to Iraq, but was imprisoned in 1964. He escaped prison in 1967 and quickly became a leading member of the party. In 1968, Saddam participated in a bloodless coup led by Ahmad Hassan al-Bakr that overthrew Abdul Rahman Arif. al-Bakr was named president and Saddam was named his deputy.

President Roosevelt signed the Trading With the Enemy Act after it had been made public that U.S. companies were doing business with the declared enemy of the United States. On October 20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered the seizure of Nazi German banking operations in New York City.

The Harriman business interests seized under the act in October and November 1942 included:

Union Banking Corporation (UBC) (for Thyssen and Brown Brothers Harriman). The President of UBC at that time was George Herbert Walker, Prescott Bush's father-in-law. He is the grandfather and great-grandfather of the former and current Presidents Bush.
