Two former Saddam comrades executed


Saddam had a brother and his head *popped* off:

Two of Saddam Hussein's former comrades were executed in Baghdad Monday, including his half-brother Barzan al-Tikriti, the government said.


Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh told a news conference in Baghdad that Tikriti, who headed the intelligence service under Saddam, and the former head of the Revolutionary Court Awad al-Bandar, were hanged at dawn "according to legal conditions."


He added, however, that in "a rare case," Tikriti's head was dismembered at the time of the hanging, which forensic experts said could happen if the execution was carried out in an inappropriate manner.



Director of Jordan's National Forensic Center, Momen al-Hadidi, told United Press International the hanging seemed to have been "inferior" and lacked "international standards provided in the rope" in terms of its quality and length.

International standards in a hanging rope? That seems oddly humane considering the butchers we are talking about. PC and the press prevail once more.

Iraq's Leader Says Campaign Will Make Baghdad Safer


Arms control:

In a speech on military issues, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said a new Baghdad security plan has gone through several revisions and is now ready.


Mr. Maliki said the goal of the plan is to protect the Iraqi people and to ensure that weapons are in the hands of government forces, not militias, regardless of their sectarian or political affiliation. He said Iraq's armed forces will not permit anyone to act as a replacement to the democratically elected sovereign government.


The prime minister's announcement follows reports from Washington that President Bush will be sending more U.S. troops to Iraq. The president is expected to outline that plan publicly sometime in the coming week.


In his remarks Saturday, Prime Minister Maliki also responded to criticism that followed the execution of Saddam Hussein.


Mr. Maliki said Saddam got a fair trial, something he denied to most of the people put to death during his rule. The prime minister called the execution an internal matter and urged foreign governments to stop meddling in Iraqi affairs.

Good enough for me but obviously not for this guy!

He’s hanged, mid-prayer and the taunts continue.


So, within a few moments, one of the world’s most reviled despots became a martyr, showing more dignity than any “official” in the room.


Bush, who slept through the execution (Surprise!) but later issued a statement praising the Iraqi government reacted to the new “Ox-Bow Incident” taint by doing what he does best. Pulling a Sergeant Shultz, he essentially proffered an “I know nussink” response.


Nouri al-Maliki’s government began to tap dance so feverishly, it resembled Gregory Hines on speed.

Thanks Ed. I did a bit of dancing too.

I post this in awe of the seeming embracing of a madman. These people are so distraught over the way the execution was handled that they lose sight of the executed, painting his gallow demeanor "dignified" and somehow "honorable". This ignorant embrace seeks to overshadow the lives and safety of the millions who USED TO BE under the threat of the man dangling in that cellphone video.

Saddam Hussein's Lynch Mob


A big web debate is on about whether the execution of Saddam Hussein was conducted by a lynch mob and was more sectarian violence than the exacting of justice.

The Australian's Washington correspondent Geoff Elliott has his take on it:

Look at Saddam's bloody life, not death: US


THE Bush administration was in damage control yesterday over the leaked Saddam Hussein execution video, saying the furore should not distract from the tyrant's bloody rule.


White House officials were trying to hide their embarrassment over the shocking footage of Saddam, as Iraqi officials arrested three men for mocking him minutes before his death and posting a video of it on the internet.


The scenes were described in Washington as more akin to a sectarian lynching than an example of justice being served. The unauthorised video threatens to turn the ousted dictator into a martyr.


It also emerged yesterday that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had direct approval from the White House to go ahead with the hanging.


US officials in Iraq initially blocked the push to kill Saddam within days of his appeal against the death sentence failing. "They had said it was impossible to execute Saddam so soon," a senior official said.


"The other option was to contact the White House to get permission."


Mr Maliki spoke to someone "very high up", telling them, "you need to give him to us", the official said.


President George W. Bush was not personally involved, said White House spokesman Scott Stanzel.


Iraqi authorities alleged yesterday that the two guards and one official under arrest were outsiders who had infiltrated the chamber and shouted insults while recording video on a mobile phone. The men were said to be from Sadr City, stronghold of the radical Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, whose name they chanted before Saddam's death.

Ok... so a couple of his enemies infiltrate the hanging. One needs only to remember what kind of man was hung to quickly get over it.







Just imagine if George W. Bush were in his place...what kind of people would invade and film his hanging?

Consider that these folks are on the same side.

New UN chief's Saddam gaffe on first day of work


UN's Ban on the death penalty (no pun intended):

Ban Ki Moon, the former South Korean Foreign Minister, received a warm welcome from staff at the UN headquarters on Manhattan's East River when he turned up for his first day at work yesterday.


But his spokeswoman was forced to issue a clarification after Mr Ban said that capital punishment should be a decision for individual member states.


The UN has an official stance opposing capital punishment and Ban’s predecessor Kofi Annan reiterated it frequently. The organisation's top envoy in Iraq, Ashraf Qazi, restated it again after the former Iraqi dictator was hanged on Saturday.


Mr Ban, however, took a different approach, never mentioning the UN's ban on the death penalty in all its international tribunals, and the right to life enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the General Assembly in 1948.


"Saddam Hussein was responsible for committing heinous crimes and unspeakable atrocities against Iraqi people and we should never forget victims of his crime," Mr Ban said in response to a question about Saddam’s execution. "The issue of capital punishment is for each and every member state to decide."


It was unclear whether Mr Ban was simply unaware of UN policy or did not agree with it, but his new spokeswoman, the Haitian journalist Michele Montas, insisted that there was no change despite what she called "his own nuance".

The Times Online article seems to think he made a mistake. I don't think so. The important thing was in what he said and not what he didn't say. With the UN's obvious slant toward Islam, it amazes me how many Arab States carry out punishments far more grizly than Saddam's short, clean little rope dance. Just think of his "bad first day" had he called them out.

Questioning Justice


Justice was served. The trial and execution of Saddam Hussein was justice.

It was not a perfect trial, none are. The screeching from the anti-war, anti-American, and Islamist crowd is nothing but background noise. Had Saddam stayed in power these executions would be occurring a hundred times a day. The very people calling the trial and execution unjust would be screaming that we aren’t doing anything about it. These very people were talking about removing Saddam before it was accomplished. Now they want to know what justification we had in doing so. These very people, who lambaste and castigate governments for dealing with Despot’s instead of toppling them, change sides as soon as the despot is toppled. How is this justified?

These same people scream for their government to protect them and then do everything they can to prevent the government from doing so. They want to know how the dots weren’t connected then take the pencil away from the government. These people want everything but refuse to pay for it. They want others to pay for it. They believe they have a right to the money that I earn. They believe they have a right to the house that I live in. They believe they have a right to take the food from my table and put it on their’s. They believe that the government should make this happen. How did this mindset come about?

What makes a person believe he has a right to something that others have? What makes a person scream for justice then scream against it when it has happened? What makes a person believe that the man that topples the evil is actually the evil one? What makes people believe that the world would be better if Saddam were still in power? How many tortured, raped, and murdered Iraqis must there have been before the Untied States was legitimate in its actions? How many Mothers, Fathers, and Grandparents should have been taken from their families before intervention would have been acceptable? Why does Saddam have more of a right to life than his subjects did? I have nothing but questions and none of them can be answered by the anti-war, anti-American, Islamist crowd without showing themselves to be hypocritical liars.

Saddam deserved to die. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad deserves to die. Khalid Misha’al deserves to die. Hassan Nasrallah deserves to die. Any head of a terror organization deserves to die. Anyone who sends others, strapped with bombs to commit murder, deserves to die. The idiot that puts the bomb on his person deserves to die. Saddam execution was justice and justifiable.

The death of Saddam put certainty into a nation that hasn’t had that for awhile. Saddam will not make a surprise escape and come back later to punish those who revolted. There will be no more dying under his orders. The Iraqis have a legitimate chance to build anew. Whether they do it is up to them. All the screaming from the bleeding heart fascist’s does not matter. The only purpose they serve is to provide opeds to the NYT, LAT, Washington Post, and other bleeding heart rags and websites. Saddam is dead. Thank G-d.

Hussein Hanging Video


Ok this might be considered hit pimping...but I've heard reports that bloggers stats are growing like weeds from people from every country looking for video of the Hussein hanging.

My thoughts on it.

Listen-I don't have it.


And when the Hussein Hanging Video is indeed available I probably won't post it myself. Perhaps others here at JDJ will...but I feel that it has too much resemblance to other execution videos that we do air here. We air them only to highlight the brutality of the "religion of peace's" most visible spokemen at work.


We are the good guys...


...and we don't have to broadcast true justice with the same savoring fervor as the Jihadists air their injustices.

That being said I do have before and after photos...

The photo is before. Click it for the after.


Meaningful Muslim Executions




Update: Drudge has it. HotAir.com has it too.


While some Muslims cheer at Saddam's death others decry it. Perhaps these are the only Muslim executions of which they approve.
