Saddam Hussein's Execution, and more!

NOT FOR THE WEAK HEARTED

Saddam Hussein


Everyone knows the "Almighty" Saddam Hussein was executed on 30th December 2006. But how many of you actually got to witness the whole execution? Well, now you can, right here, right now!


A little background information about Saddam Hussein. (Taken from Wikipedia.org)

Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti (Arabic: صدام حسين عبد المجيد التكريتي Ṣaddām Ḥusayn ʿAbd al-Majīd al-Tikrītī[1]; April 28, 1937[2] – December 30, 2006)[3] was the President of Iraq from July 16, 1979 until April 9, 2003.[4][5]

A leading member of the revolutionary Ba'ath Party, which espoused secular pan-Arabism, economic modernization, and Arab socialism, Saddam played a key role in the 1968 coup that brought the party to long-term power. As vice president under the ailing General Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, Saddam tightly controlled conflict between the government and the armed forces — at a time when many other groups were considered capable of overthrowing the government — by creating repressive security forces. In the early 1970s, Saddam spearheaded Iraq's nationalization of the Western-owned Iraq Petroleum Company, which had long held a monopoly on the country's oil. Through the 1970s, Saddam cemented his authority over the apparatuses of government as Iraq's economy grew at a rapid pace.[6]

As president, Saddam maintained power during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) and the first Persian Gulf War (1991). During these conflicts, Saddam repressed movements he considered threatening to the stability of Iraq, particularly Shi’a and Kurdish movements seeking to overthrow the government or gain independence, respectively. Whereas some Arabs looked upon him as a hero for his aggressive stance against foreign intervention and for his support for the Palestinians,[7] United States leaders continued to view Saddam with deep suspicion following the 1991 Persian Gulf War. Saddam was deposed by the U.S. and its allies during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Captured by U.S. forces on December 13, 2003, Saddam was brought to trial under the Iraqi interim government set up by U.S.-led forces. On November 5, 2006, he was convicted of charges related to the executions of 148 Iraqi Shi'ites suspected of planning an assassination attempt against him, and was sentenced to death by hanging. Saddam was executed on December 30, 2006.[8]


Anyway, even after watching the Video, I don't believe that he is dead. I mean back in 2006, there were reports saying that he (or was it Osama?) actually hired people to go under the knife to look like him. I mean if he (or Osama?) could do it then, why not do it a couple of times, so that the Americans always get the wrong guy? Was there any proof that the person who was hung, was really Saddam Hussein?


I don't know. But you can take a look at the video. It's kind of creepy at the ending because they actually took a close up of the distorted figure of Saddam Hussein, after he was hanged.



I feel a little sadistic today, and so I googled for more videos and found one that is rather interesting.

This goes out to all the Ah-Beng wanna-bes who want to deal with drugs or whatsoever, just to be accepted. Think Twice.


The Narcotics Team had been to my school a couple of times. Whenever they showed us the pictures of the canings and stuff, we, students always had 2 reactions; one was, "EEEEE, so gross, I'm losing my appetite". And the other one would be "Eeee, but sure bluff one loh. Sure got photoshop edit one".


Well. here's a video for you to watch, to see if things are real, or not. ENJOY
