Saddam to Die Tonight 10 PM

***TOP THREAD SCROLL FOR NEW POSTS AND UPDATES ***

Ijust stole this pic from my  fellow infidels at IBA 

Tonight, Saddam pays for mass murder, rape rooms, genocide - tonight. His countrymen can't kill him fast enough. The Iraqi Snoopy dance of glee. Justice is best served cold. Mohammed over at Iraq the Model has the best read on what is happening on the ground in Iraq here, "Year 2007 will definitely be without Saddam walking on the ground"….updated regularly, hat tip deb.)

Official: Saddam to be executed tonight

Iraqi judge said Friday Dec. 29, 2006 that Saddam Hussein will be executed by Saturday at the latest and lawyers representing him say the condemned former leader is no longer in U.S. custody.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- The official witnesses to Saddam Hussein's impending execution gathered Friday in Baghdad's fortified Green Zone in final preparation for his hanging, as state television broadcast footage of his regime's atrocities.

I like the point Fausta made here;

Dan Senor, one of the main points he made was that

Arab Muslims are voting and holding their governments accountable; al-Jazeera and al-Arabiya have broadcast this around the regions... This is very powerful and very important.

Specifically, on Saddam's trial, he stated,

The trial sends a message to almost every ruler who identifies with Saddam. The only thing that never happened is the governments to be held accountable – until now. The trial's being aired by al-Jazeera and al-Arabiya. Senor spent half a day with one of Saddam's attorneys and was told that other area rulers are terrified, and particularly mentioned Al-Assad.

One dramatic development in the trial in recent days was Saddam's admission that he was responsible for the 1981 assassination of a small Sunni town where 150 people killed and the town was razed.

It is important for Iraq to close this 3-decade chapter [in its history].

Let's not underestimate the power the image of Saddam's execution will carry across the Middle East.

Meanwhile the pussies over at The New York Times are crying and whining. Is there any murdering dictator those dhimmis didn't love? Channeling Duranty.

The Rush to Hang Saddam Hussein New York Times

What really mattered was whether an Iraq freed from his death grip could hold him accountable in a way that nurtured hope for a better future. A carefully conducted, scrupulously fair trial could have helped undo some of the damage inflicted by his rule. It could have set a precedent for the rule of law in a country scarred by decades of arbitrary vindictiveness. It could have fostered a new national unity in an Iraq long manipulated through its religious and ethnic divisions.

It could have, but it didn’t. After a flawed, politicized and divisive trial, Mr. Hussein was handed his sentence: death by hanging. This week, in a cursory 15-minute proceeding, an appeals court upheld that sentence and ordered that it be carried out posthaste. Most Iraqis are now so preoccupied with shielding their families from looming civil war that they seem to have little emotion left to spend on Mr. Hussein or, more important, on their own fading dreams of a new and better Iraq.

Were they watching a different trial than the rest of the world these past months?

What might have been a watershed now seems another lost opportunity. After nearly four years of war and thousands of American and Iraqi deaths, it is ever harder to be sure whether anything fundamental has changed for the better in Iraq.

[...]

Toppling Saddam Hussein did not automatically create a new and better Iraq. Executing him won’t either.

WTF is wrong with these leftards? They have no sense of right and wrong, good and evil. Complete moral bankruptcy.

UPDATE: Ding Dong, the prick is dead.

UPDATE: BTW, Gateway has the whole nasty business on Saddam here, you must see it. Go. A horrible dictator and that's the least of it.

F**k the leftards! Its a great day to be alive! Death to the tyrant and all other tyrants!

I'm glad Saddam had time to contemplate his death unlike his sons. I'm glad he didn't die a "hero" in battle. He died like a common criminal even though his crimes were not common by any stretch. At last the SOBs is dead.

Dead Tyrant Walking!!!

He won't be getting his Hajj on this year.
So,let me be the first to say Rest In Hell, Mofo.

BTW -
"It could have set a precedent for the rule of law in a country scarred by decades of arbitrary vindictiveness. It could have fostered a new national unity in an Iraq long manipulated through its religious and ethnic divisions."

Is The New York Slimes really that far out in space, that they have no recolection of world history?

Yes, I guess it "could have fostered" something in Iraq, but "National Unity???" They can't even foster neighborhood unity.

It's done, probably wasn't much of a magic carpet ride for him.

Ironic - the media is wringing their collective hands about the future impact of the execution of a dictator; and they report with a wink, a nod, and a sly smile about a Thanksgiving prayer that included the not-quick-enough death for VP Dick Cheney; and the wonderful right of free speech regarding the Canadian film about the assassination of GWB. I think the media was jealous of Saddam and ask themselves wistfully "If only WE had that kind of absolute power....*sigh."

Ding dong! The prick is dead. Which old prick? The wicked prick!

Tommy, You make a terrific point about the media.

[Yidwithlid]

[x_dhimmi]

Yidwithlid, Red cards.

[shmujew]

until the religion of jew hate is hung this is laughable

[Thomas Carney]

What gets me is the fact that the US government, during the Reagan years and while Dick Cheney was SecDef, supported this bastard Saddam with weapons and what-not....

I hope and pray none of that WMD was US made that Saddam used on the Kurds and others......

I hope Saddam rots is getting a constant prostate exam from a boar pig's pecker in hell....

[Jew Grrrl]

Sorry guys, this is OT, but I have been LMAO over at JW! I think RS has had enough! He's posting as "payingattention" and scolding everyone. I wish he wouldn't, I love to read some of the commenters like... well I won't say.

Anyway, I'm glad Sadman got his neck stretched. Bye.

Allah - "Hello Saddam! Welcome. Here are your 72 virgins! Have Fun!"

Allah - "No no no no, it's okay, you don't need it here! you get the MALE virgins..

I like that "sic semper tyrannis" post. Perfect. If it holds true, maybe this is the start of a trend...
