That's horrible. Who on earth would let those men do that to him? They chant the name of the enemy and tell Saddam to go to hell. Why wasn't he allowed a dignified way to leave the world? :-?

Me old oppo and stacks rate looked well smart in his going ashore rig didn`t he? 8) Top bloke he was, a right animal ashore, never shy at getting the wets in and always there with the dits. Sadly missed :roll:

On a serious note, hanging was too good for the old bastard.

Who cares? :-?
Halabjah, anyone? :wink:

Seems like there were plenty of the sort of people that he used to kill there - who incidentally seem to be the same sort of people that 'we' are trying to kill now. I'm a long way from being a supporter of him - remembering the gas attacks on the Kurds that didn't bother the Turks (and behind them the septics) at the time - but he was probably the only person who could bring stability to that country. Stability on bad terms but stability itself I would have thought is better for them and better for us than what they and we have now.

Seems a pretty grim spectacle (I had no inclination to watch it) - what kind of people have we become when this kind of thing is gloated over? :roll:

You are right m`learned friend, as usual.
Recent phots of useless Rumsfeld shaking Sadman`s hand show how the septics still can`t do foreign policy, tut :roll:
Who cares, it wasn`t about human rights after all, ask Ken Bigley.
By the way, just how much is petrol these days? :-?

C4 have you ever heard of Halabjah or do you read the Sun,
no offence :-?

Iraqi Dept of Justice,

Er, that`s it :roll:

Heyup 'aitch - hope you had a good break mucker. I'm worn out this morning after listening to Prescott getting grilled on Radio 4 about this. Ho hum, he got a right (and deserved) mauling when he said that the event was 'deplorable' and shameful for 'those responsible'.......'hold on' says the bright fella interviewng him ....'aren't "those responsible" the people we effectively put there to carry Iraq forward?'

Blair, Beckett and flubbadub on the same gallows as him - now that would be a sight :wink:

Yes thanks Sull, we did. Tropical OZ is a bit, er, "peculiar" but I’ll save that for another place :wink:

Much has been made of the haste with which our old mate was strung up. "Why was this when there are so many charges still outstanding?" ask critics. Who cares, he was never going to spend years in the International Court of the Hague and if "Due Process" in Iraq found him guilty of one Capital Charge and they decided to save themselves the effort of further trials then I`m happy with that. Hints of saving US face with a speedy trial ref their involvement in helping Sadman in the past are spurious as far as I`m concerned. Giving Sadders the good news won’t change history. Elmer was involved
This was poorly handled, obviously. But in the scale of the absolute mega fcuk since the invasion it hardly matters at all.
Bring back our old mate the Information Minister is what I say, he`d be a right larf when old Chemical Alli gets the long drop 8)

On another note, did you notice how well Sadders was wrapped up?
On the way to the topping shed it was effing icers and the sleet was horizontal, old Sadders says,
"`Kinnel lads, bit parky this morning, in`t it?"
"S`all right for you Sadders, We`em as to walk back in this :o "

I call upon the Honourable Member for Norwich East to offer comment of a technical nature as to the proficiency of the locally employed executioners. :wink:

Farking bleeding hearts piss me right off,the cnut got what was coming to him,just a pity he got the long drop instead of the usual kick off a box routine.His body should have been dismembered and fed to the jackals.Now we will have a martyrs shrine in his home town (the Ruskies had the right idea with Hitlers remains).
Pity we couldn't sort out some of our politicians with the same treatment for their war crimes.

I'm all for equal rights, and ironically against the death sentence in most cases. Aside from this one - he deserved it. Although there are much worse things than death....hmmm....

It's not about being a bleeding heart Shoulders. I thought we were supposed to be showing the way and bringing civilisation/democracy (the septic administration sees the two as the same) to this country and next thing we have British soldiers having to disband Iraqi police death squads and Saddam being given a medieval send off. That's not going to help anyone - least of all the people we now seem to feel so sorry for (our hearts bleed for them?) in that godforsaken mess that we have created.

Fair do's the cnut may have got what was coming to him in being executed (live by the sword and all that) but the fact that the piss poor excuse for a government that we put in his place couldn't control what should have been a simple and quick event has put far more innocent lives at risk - what was the point of that? Is that what you would call "due process" H? And was there due process during the trial? We're just feeding the extremists with all this and they grow with each incident. It's alright for us (non-serving) - we're out of it now, we don't have to try and hold the place together with shite equipment and scant political back-up. A humiliating withdrawal awaits and I just hope that not many young British lives are lost before we all wise up to that.

It's all about tactics my friend and at the moment we're playing straight into the hands of the extremists. As someone once said, George Dubya has risen to the mantle of leading the worlds greatest superpower, with all the responsibility that entails, like a three year old child throwing his porridge over his own head.

Here endeth today's rant :wink:

Those cruel, heartless bastards. What were they thinking of, jeering at a hanging. Animals! :o

Don’t they know you’re only supposed to jeer at a stoning, ffs? 8)

Sull, my attitude to this war is a matter of record on here, totally against the thing since the first time Tone famously said he`d show us the proof. Remember that? Kin lying arsehole that he is. Against the war but once we had Gravs on the ground, fully supportive of them.
By “due process” I meant Iraqi process, not Old Bailey standards, m`learned friend. :roll:
It seems to me that at every single step of the way the coalition of the stupid have picked the worse possible option. Ever since Wolfabitch and Rumpole told Gen Doo-hickey there was no way he needed three hundred thousand bods post invasion to fill the power vacuum and suppress any possible insurgency. Kin spot on there Elmer, er not :-?
No wonder Colin Powel told Dubya to poke his farkin job where the cleaner won’t find it. He`s the only one with any honour. I wouldn`t be at all surprised to see Powel running for the POTUS gig soon. He`d piss it, I think.
Mate, I fear you could be right about the withdrawal. As if asking Iran and Syria for help wasn`t bad enough, ffs :roll:

Anyway cheer up mate, look on the bright side. Blair`s days are numbered :wink:
And then you get Gordon Farking Brown, you lucky lucky bastards :P :P :P
