Ding dong the witch is dead
the wicked witch is deaaad! ~
both the bush and saddam shouldve been killed
they shouldve made them fight and the winner gets to die second
well thanks, was just curious because i already knew they wouldn't broadcast it (for obvious reasons, forget who he is and just think he's a human and try to question what these obvious reasons would be... lol) so i was looking for any confirmation that he actually WAS, although, i'm sure there are going to be many conspiracy theorist to say it wasn't actually him, i hope atleast those who felt wronged by him (like i've said in a post before, i have no real clue who he is, or what he meant...) can rest at peace now....Quote:

why does only the lesser bad guy get the rope?
It's all over the news and confirmed by his lawyers.
Have a good one!:jointsmile:
they shouldve gave him death by firing squad. hanging seems so old school.
He wanted death by firing squad, actually. Even requested it. He thought hanging was humiliating and demeaning. They hung him because he humiliated, deameaned, and murdered thousands of people in his tenure as the Butcher of Baghdad.
Thats what he wanted since the firing squad was considered more as a military execution than the hanging which is more insultive....Quote:

Methods of judicial hanging
There are four methods of performing a judicial hanging â?? the short drop, suspension hanging, the standard drop, and the long drop.
The short drop
The short drop is done by placing the condemned person on the back of a cart, horse, or other vehicle, with the noose around his neck. The vehicle is then moved away leaving the person dangling from the rope. Prior to 1850, it was the main method used. It is still used widely in Middle Eastern countries. A ladder was also commonly used with the condemned being forced to ascend, after which the noose was tied and the ladder pulled away or turned, leaving the victim hanging. A person hanged in this way would be said to have been "turned off".
Suspension hanging
Suspension hanging is similar, except the gallows itself are movable, so that the noose can be raised once the condemned is in place. This method is currently used in Iran, where tank gun barrels or mobile cranes are used to hoist the condemned into the air. Similar methods involve running the rope through a pulley to allow raising of the person.
The standard drop
The standard drop, which arrived as calculated in English units, involved a drop of between four to six feet (1.2 to 1.8 meters) and came into use in the mid 19th century in English-speaking countries and those where judicial systems were under English influence. It was considered an advance on the short drop because it was intended to be sufficient to break the person's neck, causing immediate paralysis and immobilization (and perhaps immediate unconsciousness--though this matter is questioned).
The long drop
This process, also known as the measured drop, was introduced in 1872 by William Marwood as a scientific advancement to the standard drop. Instead of everyone falling the same standard distance, the persons's weight was used to determine how much slack would be provided in the rope so that the distance dropped would be enough to ensure that the neck was broken.
Prior to 1892, the drop was between four and ten feet (about one to three meters), depending on the weight of the body, and was calculated to deliver a force of 1,260 lbf (5,600 newtons or 572 kgf), which fractured the neck at either the 2nd and 3rd or 4th and 5th cervical vertebrae. However, this force resulted in some decapitations, such as the famous case of "Black Jack" Tom Ketchum in New Mexico in 1901. Between 1892 and 1913, the length of the drop was shortened to avoid doing so. After 1913, other factors were also taken into account and the force delivered was reduced to about 1000 lbf (4,400 N or 450 kgf).

eventually, this whole war in iraq will have not happened and we will be at war with some other country and we will have always been at war with that country. yadda yadda yadda, " we are the richest, best country in the world" blah blah blah.
anybody that is not a patriot will be denounced a terrorist and subjugated to torture until they love america, all freedom will be lost and everyone will be constantly watched.

These people should be brought down eventually, but many people have to die from things like this because we are just not dieing enough to support the amount of births.
Let's place (a rather sick) betting pool on how long it's gonna take before the video is on YouTube...
Any takers?
20 minutes after it is given to the government
good to hear that some garbage was taken out. still wont bring back the people he murdered, but at least he wont do it anymore. Now lets get bin ladden and the rest of the bunch. think what you want about the war, he was a douchebag and needed to be taken down just for being him.
if bush had just said "we need to kill the asshole", I would have been down.. Didn't have to make up some shit about WMDs. Of course he has wmds. You can't be a psycho dictator witouth em.
