The Source Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Topics: Saddam's Execution & The U.S. Government I am about to make a wierd prediction, and I hope that no-one will hate me for it. After listening to the news for the past few weeks, I began to realize a very scarry reality. Now, I am not saying for 100% fact that this will happen, but I am saying that it is a possibility. A few weeks ago, one of Saddam's half-borthers broke out of American custody. For several weeks now, I began to realize that Saddam may not meet his fate. I am beginning to think that somehow he will be sprung from custody, and then he will reign over Iraq again. Please, don't hate me, but I am getting a bad feeling about this. One thing that keyed me off to this is a statement made. Someone went on record saying, "Iraq was better off under Saddam's control." I hope I am dead wrong.

igyman Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I may be a little rash when I say this, but if your feeling is correct, good for Saddam!! We all know Iraq was invaded under false pretenses and we all know it was never a threat to the US. Who knows if Saddam's trial was a real trial. Don't kill me for this, I am not a supporter of any form of terrorism, but we can't be sure Saddam is one. Not by listening to the US media. Maybe I'm just rambling nonsense, maybe someone knows something I don't, but as far as I remember those supposed mobile weapon factories, or whatever, were never proven to have existed.

The Source Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 The local news just reported that Iraqi officials have not received Saddam from American custody. I am a supporter of hanging Saddam. There are just times when I get very bad vibes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still did orchestrate almost an entire genocide though, people have been sentenced to death for less than that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titanius Anglesmith Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 It was still a completely dumb decision to invade Iraq. Not only did they have no connection to 9/11, but they had absolutely 0 WMDs. And now we refuse to leave because "the job isn't done." So Saddam shouldn't even be in our prison. He did absolutely nothing to us. The only reason we have him is because the president wants revenge on him for "tryin to kill his daddy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Varen Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Saddam was an evil man, so he deserves execution. Saddam's life is confusing me all the time. One minute, I thought he was dead, then he's alive, then he's dead. It's confusing me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Saddam was tried and is being executed by his own countrymen, not the US, for crimes against humanity (wiping out entire Kurdish villages with nerve gas, just for starters). He's scheduled to be executed sometime before 9p CST/3am GMT today/tomorrow. They are going to videotape the hanging but will not release it publicly. I guarantee if Saddam escapes, he will not stay underground long at all--he likes power too much and enjoys attention. He likely wouldn't stay alive very long, either--the Shi'a majority, who were oppressed by him for years, would find him and end his life very quickly.

Totenkopf Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Makes one wonder what they'll do with the body. If his hanging is merely videotaped, would not the "black helicopter crowd" assert that he didn't really die afterall? Maybe he'll end up in Rio with Elvis, Hoffa and ET. But seriously, even if SH's death were "miraculously" avoided or even somwhow faked, he's been effectively marginalized. With his power base essentially destroyed, it's unlikely he'll return to power in any real sense of the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone hate you for speculating that Saddam might avoid execution and reign over Iraq again? Because it could happen, but it is unlikely.

Wikipedia wrote: Saddam initiated Iraq's nuclear enrichment project in the 1980s, with French assistance. The first Iraqi nuclear reactor was named by the French "Osirak", a portmanteau formed from "Osiris", the name of the French experimental reactor that served as template and "Irak", the French spelling of "Iraq". Osirak was destroyed by an Israeli air strike (Operation Opera), because Israel suspected it was going to start producing weapons-grade nuclear material. I saw a documentary on the History Channel about this. It was absolutely fascinating. Until then I had no idea this had ever occurred. But anyway, my point in all this is, just because we apparantly didn't find any wmd's, doesn't mean he didn't have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I don't see how any plan to spring him could succeed, now that the execution is to happen in about three minutes. I think we're actually going to get rid of the scum! EDIT: Yeah, Yeah he's dead! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithRevan Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Well it is not a question anymore. They just hung him, he is dead, and they just have announced it on CNN and most likely BBC for the UK too. His reign of terror and dictatorship is over.

Carlo El Sanchez Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 This is so stupid, they should of reconsidered executing him, now that its done their will be more terrorist attacks and controversy... they should of just left him in prison for the rest of his life.

They actually could not have left him in prison because of the fact that the government of Iraq wanted to see the former dictator hang for the crimes agianst the country and it's people. America nor any other country had a say in this decision as Saddam is technically a citizen of Iraq and has to go along with the governments policy over there. I any case I am just glad to see it is finally over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totenkopf Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 No offense HZ, but the terrorists don't need SH as a reason to do whatever they'll do. They are slick enough to use western media to try and make us believe that's the case. Frankly, all SH's execution might do is serve as an excuse to "misbehave" now, much like sports fans will often use their respective teams win/loss as an excuse to riot. If the govt in Iraq hadn't hung Saddam, many of those same people would've commited acts of violence in attempts to force the govt to release him. SH's sentence was basically a Catch-22 situation. Whether he lived or died, it wouldn't make any true difference to the terrorists opposition to the west or modern culture in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztalker Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I may be a little rash when I say this, but if your feeling is correct, good for Saddam!! We all know Iraq was invaded under false pretenses and we all know it was never a threat to the US. Who knows if Saddam's trial was a real trial. Of course the media has major influence on our opinions. But imo, even thinking he is innocent is wrong. The man killed hundreds, if not thousands of people by torture, war, terrorism, without breaking a sweat. When the sentence was spoken he said: "For the people!" "For the country!" Or something like that. He's just like Albert Speer..."Wir haben es nicht gewüsst." Don't see this as a personal assault, but I just know (and feel) the guy is a murderer. And although I'm not a fan of execution, this is what he deserves. Prison would be to easy. With his connections, prison would be heaven for him. Justice is served.
