As we suspected

So kill the thread and put me in your killfile. I'll try not to let it
worry me over the coming months.

 

I dunno. It did the job instantly and Saddam stayed in one piece. A
crap hanging is where one doesn't die but is strangled instead or where
the drop is too long and rips off the head.

 

Happy New Year to you an' all.

Sheesh. Sixteen hours into 2007 and we've already got two groaners

 

Which is quite rare in hangings, IIRC. Mind you apparently the
executioners were taunting Saddam right up to the last minute and
Saddam told them to go to hell.

My thoughts too.

 

Eh? What time is where you are, then?

Ali

 

Nice summary.

 

I doubt that the UK's hands are significantly cleaner.

 

Has he risen again yet?

 

The picture on the Beeb of Saddam shaking hands with Rummy was priceless.

 

"Have you heard the good news?"

 

And mine. An utter bastard he may have been, but he met his end with a
damn sight more dignity than most people ever will.

 

I agree, seems a very pointless excercise in my view. I fear he may
have the last laugh too, given the state of Iraq these days.

You mean you hadn't got him sussed already?

 

That's because I don't use verybiglongwords and you understand most of
what I say/write.
