Saddam, was he really hanged?

I thought that too.
As I watched everything else on the video be blurry and out of focus, yet his face well lit.

but, im just beating a dead horse.


Im sure he was killed. at least, I want to hope so? .. o ut of my own morbid thoughts..

I think we should invade Texas next and ravage a few women......

only hung men please..

don't you all realize saddam is the anti-christ?

it says in the bible the A-C will be someone who dies, but then comes back to life.

That's when everyone who follows him start to think he's godlike or something.

mark my words.

hmmm

I would toss my hat ( not my salad ) into that idea as well..

Hitler May Still Live, Eisenhower Is Quoted
from Stars and Stripes
(Newspaper of the U.S. Armed Forces)
Southern Germany edition, Monday, October 8, 1945, front page



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


LONDON, Oct. 7(AP) - There is "reason to believe" that Hitler may still be alive, according to a remark made by Gen. Eisenhower to Dutch newspapermen. British Sunday morning newspapers gave front page emphasis to the General's statement.

I'm familiar with Oxnard.

On the tape, or tapes.... dunno.

I rarely get into conspiracy stuff. Sometimes things seem peculiar (thus you'll see me on, what, a plutonium thread. I think Liv was a smuggler.
I have a faint memory of giving an opinion on some damn thing and my business partner waving her hand at conspiracy theorists. Too bad I forget the subject... I might have been correct.

My present pov is that the hanging was unfortunate, a) for itself - a-1, I am anti capital punishment, and, a-2, berserk that we have anything to do with this (starting much earlier); b) re the timing, b-1, justice for, oh, say, the kurds, and b-2, religious date.

just let me take care of that for you... :wink:

Ok, on a serious note: I dont think Saddam's death will inspire any suicide bombers. Different set of people and motives.

Sorry, Shewolf is currently otherwise (pre)occupied.. :wink:

No, Saddam was never actually executed, turns out it was a guy named Gordon from over on Warren Street who had a run-in with the law last April...the 28th to be precise. It was a Friday and Officer Meyersteinbergowitzer was deeply aggrieved at having to fill out all the arrest papers as the Sabbath set in. He spoke a day or so later with his favorite Rabbi and the Rabbi suggested a vacation. Meyersteinbergowitzer misunderstood and sent Gordon over to take a cruise on a luxury liner on the Euphrates. Eventually things got out that Gordon was quite similar in appearance to Saddam and the next thing that happened was Gordie was in a jail cell and Saddam was out playing ice hockey. If you look closely at the video...which I am sure many have...you can see that there is a slight scar under the left earlobe from when Gordie took a spill back in 1950.

Wow, Sturgis!

Have you gone to the press with this??

Otherwise we could all be famous on A2K!

I've had to keep it under wraps since I have an eerie similarity in appearance to Officer Meyersteinbergowitzer and he has threatened to send me on a vacation as well. His vacation plans although well intentioned don't seem to end very well.

Seriously?

Wow, this is big.

I don't see the scar though, the video quality is too poor. How can you?

Dead people don't move around much as a general rule.
I could be mistaken though.



That's where the gallows was.
They could have built it on the front lawn I suppose but why move it out of the basement just for one more criminal ?
They're not exactly competing against 'Friends' for ratings.

Damn.
I thought there was only one page to this.
Apologies.

I should stop thinking faster than my browser.

Sturgis and I wear the same tin foil hat !!



OK. so let me clarify myself a bit , now that Im not typing with one eye closed.

I do think he is dead.

I dont truly think the video is faked. I was pointing out how someone else might argue that it was due to quality, shakiness and lighting.

I have seen people hang and they are usually more " active" then he appeared to be. But, that makes me no expert. He could have very well have broke his neck immediatly wich would have killed him right away.
I guess I was expecting to see a physical struggle, kicking, gasping for air, blah blah ..

But, I do have to say that I would not be surprised at ALL if it surfaced that he was already dead and the hanging was staged.

I would not be surprised at all if that hanging happened MONTHS ago and is just now getting to the public.

And, i would not be surprised if he was never hung, and is in hiding somewhere.

Do I think those things really happened?


Ehh... no.

Not yet.
