Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, sentenced to death for his role in 148 killings in 1982, will have his sentence carried out by Sunday, NBC News reported Thursday. According to a U.S. military officer who spoke on condition of anonymity, Saddam will be hanged before the start of the Eid religious holiday, which begins this Sunday.

 

The hanging could take place as early as Friday, NBC’s Richard Engel reported.

 

The U.S. military received a formal request from the Iraqi government to transfer Saddam to Iraqi authorities, NBC reported on Thursday, which is one of the final steps required before his execution. His sentence, handed down last month, ordered that he be hanged within 30 days.

Soon he'll be with Tookie.

And your chances of getting nookie.

 

 

OH SNAP

 

And your chances of getting nookie.

 

 

total burn

 

That's cruel.

They should at least let him watch the Bears & Packers and down a few PBR's for the New Year.

Any chance this will be on tape somewhere? If so, I wonder how many people who normally wouldn't watch something like that would check it out.

I think it's actually going to be shown on Iraqi Television, as proof to the Iraqi people that it actually happened.

 

Good to see he's finally gets what's coming to him though.

Saddam's gonna get his virgins alright. 72 dudes waiting to give him all the lovin he can handle.

Something tells me part of you wants to be there witnessing this...

Uh, actually he's quite secular. But nice non sequitor.

 

Not condoning what he did but just going for factual accuracy here.

I wonder who King Nebuchadnezzar will come back as next time.

I keep seeing all these news headlines and my mind wants to change it to 'will be hung' instead of 'will be hanged', ahh it's bothering the crap out of me

"They said you was hung."

 

"They were right."

I wonder if Saddam is well hung?

FoxNews just reported that Saddam has NOT been transferred to Iraqi custody yet.

Weird. Why? I hope they (whoever "they" are in this case) aren't trying to block or slow the execution. I don't think that will go over well.

What are the chances that more hell breaks loose after this?

About 100% or so...

That low of an estimate?

All hell broke loose a while ago. A wave of violence associated with Saddam specifically in this case is inevitable as well, regardless of whether he is executed or withheld from execution by the occupying force. Therefore, I think the only logical solution is to allow the Iraqi system take its course. Let him die.

I have to laugh at these pro-saddam groups threatening violence if they hang him. Haven't they been perpetrating violence since the beginning anyway?

 

I can't see your pic.

FOX News: He will be executed before 10 pm ET tonight

It's now 10 PM ET. No hanging/hunging/hanged yet.
