Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been executed by hanging at an unspecified location in Baghdad, for crimes against humanity.
Iraqi TV said the execution took place just before 0600 local time (0300GMT).
The news was confirmed to the BBC by the Iraqi Deputy Foreign Minister, Labeed Abawi.
Two co-defendants, Saddam Hussein’s half-brother Barzan al-Tikriti and former Iraqi chief judge Awad Hamed al-Bandar, were also executed.
Sic Semper Tyrannis!
Thank you, American military and our allies. I am especially so very proud of our troops.God bless them and keep them safe.
If Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Harry Reid, Barack Obama, and the bulk of the Democrat party had their way, Saddam’s RAPE ROOMS and HUMAN SHREDDERS would still be operating at full speed!!
Comments on the death penalty for Saddam:
“Our respect for human rights requires us to execute him, and there will be no review or delay in carrying out the sentence.” — Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
“Today marks an important milestone in the Iraqi people’s efforts to replace the rule of a tyrant with the rule of law.” — deputy White House press secretary Scott Stanzel, on day appeals court upheld death penalty.
“Saddam is paying the price for murdering tens of thousands of Iraqis. This is an unprecedented feeling of happiness. … Nothing matches it, no festival or marriage or birth.” — Abu Sinan, a resident of Sadr City, Baghdad’s impoverished Shiite slum.
“As long as he’s alive, there’s still some power and people still rise up. Once the execution goes through, I think it will be a relief for a lot of Iraqis.” — Sgt. Stuart Fowler, Company A, 5th Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment.
Want to see how sick the Democrats are, of course we know this already but here is more proof for those of you lefties that lurk and sometimes post at this blog. I will only put the link because I am not going to put their crap and that is what it is, on this blog for this post.
HERE it is!
If anyone is well hung right now, it is Saddam. This may well cause several other dictators to hang a bit low for a while.
Hi Tom, I bet we won’t hear from Iran for awhile. Wishful thinking maybe on my part.
This is what ticked me off from over there at the link I put was this…..Grrrrrr.
“1) To George W. Bush. It only cost $354 billion (and counting) and the lives of 3,000 very expendable US military to enable the President to demonstrate to his dad that he has a bigger Dick.”
They complain about the money spent to fund the war, they complain about the US casualties, and in the next breadth they want to send troops to Darfur, why is Darfur more preferred than the War on terror.
The supposed complaint about the 3000 KIAs in Iraq is suppose to show ‘their’ concern for our troops when if they had real concern for our troops safty, wouldn’t they want the sacrifice to be worth something, or like pressureing congress to ensure that they have the best equipment to do the job, or that the Rules of engagement favor the troops rather than the enemy, or like Winning the War in Iraq and on Terror.
Their concern is false, of course, because they say nothing about the the 55,000 Auto fatalities every year, or the 2.5 million babies slaughtered by abortion every year.
Gearld Ford is now being blamed for pardoning Nixon and the furthering of Cheny and Rumsfeld’s career, which is typical, it is easier to blame ‘the dead guy’ than argue the truth.
Instead of finding a way to win the left always wants to blame somebody and preferably a conservative. The blame serves two purposes, it relieves them of any responsiblilty for the problem and it never finds a solution.
Finally, his concern for Bush’s anatomy is striking. From his rant it is obvious he has never been accused of being a man and has been castrated at an early age, Freud called it Penis envy, I say it is just a simple lack of balls because he has none.
It is my understanding that from now on, when judges pass sentences on murderers in Iraq they have been asked to pronounce ..” It is the judgement of this court that you have been found guilty of murder and therefore this court sentences you to be Saddamized until you are dead”.
Basically, I don’t pay attention to the Left or their arguements and statements. I hear enough anyway to know their positions. It is almost always counter-productive to what is good for America.
I look for their reasons, which are seldom stated, as though they do not want us to know. One of the few stated, and misused, reasons is, they want some group or nation, “to love us”. Not respect, but “love”. Do you think the leader of Iran, or Syria could ever love us. No! But with the 3rd US Infantry Division sitting poised on their border, they could sure respect us in a hurry.
That cat has me inn STITCHES!!
I’m taking it immediately. Please let me know if that’s a problem.

Billy…”Saddamized”….haha I am so happy today.
All the work our troops did, the dangers they had to endure to find Saddam. So many things and now Justice has been done.
Tom, oh so true!! How different the left is then how I feel. I consider it a compliment if the left does not like me. And I would worry what I slacked off on if they did love me. haha
