Both reliable sources. They report the facts.

[garsk]

thoughts?

Well, we've lost alot of good people this year, James Brown, President Ford and now Saddam. I'll just be happy when 2007 comes along and this sad train of death stops.

[garsk]

yeah, i am going to miss james brown, and so for President Ford, he was a cool ass pres, well according to the simpsons.

[Sparq]

Do you like....foot-ball? Do you like....na-chos?

[garsk]

mr. president, it seems like we are going to be great friends

[Some Random]

does this mean my gulf war trading card of him is worth more now?

[supercanuk]

Hmm.. yes, the death of a brutal tyrant is always good news.

 

I won't get too harpy but it annoy's me that people who supported this jackass and gave him the chem weapons to use on his own people, and then continued to support this guy after the atrocities dont get any flack. It's of course because they are the victors, and Saddam was an "enemy of freedom", and when too many enemies of freedom get together, including most U.S. presidents, somebody has to die, this week it was Saddam, maybe in a month from now they'll find Bin Laden. Pfft. Not bloody likely, if he isn't already dead. But I digress, another one bites the dust it seems, or is it sand? lol

Do you like....foot-ball? Do you like....na-chos?

;) that was the only thing that crossed my mind when i heard ford died.

[Sparq]

That's the point. Alot of people are going to say that the people who took him down are the same ones who put him there, that they're all bad guys, etc.

 

But nobody's really saying he didn't deserve it anyway.

[saturnine]

if only the american penal system were as swift.

[garsk]

It's of course because they are the victors

well losers dont write history, they get enslaved.

why do you sound so surprised?

[garsk]

why do you sound so surprised?

because it seems that they sneeked the death in, there wasnt really an appeal process to it. it just all of a sudden happened.

[Ravenous megin-sane]

there was an appeal. it just didn't do anything.

 

his death is all i've heard about these days

[Seanathon]

I always thought they'd actually announce a day on which he'd be killed, but I suppose that might be asking for trouble.

 

Anyways, I've seen a cellphone video of it, weird.

[sodamntired]

watching the video of when they put the noose around his neck (which they've been playing non-stop of 'headline news') its funny, cause he has the look of, "okay guys, funny joke, am I being punk'd?"

[ecnarf]

God that would make the best joke ever.

 

"Saddam Hussein, you've been punked!"

"Oh ho ho, well played, gents!"

[AnOceanPearl]

I like to plead ignorance and make the obvious pun:

 

ZOMG LYKE WHAT HAPPENED TO SADDAM!

 

DON'T LEAVE ME HANGING, I HAVE TO KNOW!

[ecnarf]

Or perhaps the more obvious question...

 

"What about his dead?"

[garsk]

well, finally Saddam and Satan can be lovers

[ecnarf]

I hope Saddam applied some vaseline before hitting the gallows.

 

Actually, I don't. But that's not the point.

[sodamntired]

and now i ask this,

 

is the death of 3000 soldiers and countless Iraqis an adequate loss for the execution of a single man, who was hung for the murder of 183 people himself?

[Sparq]

It's like getting John Gotti for tax evasion. It has to be something you can prove, somehow.
