[Lachrymose]

Is apparently scheduled to hang at any minute now:

[Blinkie]

He has been now.

[Lachrymose]

He has been now.

Really? There's nothing online saying he has already been.

[Blinkie]

I'm watching it on CNN (on tv.) They have heard it from at least two sources.

[HesterTheGod]

Yeah, I've seen on Fox, MSNBC, and CNN that he's been executed.

Gotcha. Apparently their web people are slow. :p

I googled "Saddam Dead" and got this: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/04/09/iraq/main548585.shtml

Kind of funny now, isn't it?

Edit: CNN has just updated their website stating he is dead.

[Blinkie]

Apparently. They are probably waiting for more confirmation.

edit: Do you think they will end up releasing the video of his hanging? I don't think they will, but somehow it will end up on the internet, I'm sure. Probably within the night.

/r/ video of saddam's death

[HesterTheGod]

I want to see all the celebrations across Iraq and in Dearborn, Michigan. They were talking a lot about the hundreds of Iraqi-Americans that gathered there.

[Blinkie]

What does /r/ mean? or /b/ ? I don't know either of them.

[TDD]

What does /r/ mean? or /b/ ? I don't know either of them.
Trust me on this one. It's better that you don't.

[Blinkie]

I just figured them out. I think.

[G-T]

Yay! score one for the good guys, next up Osma, hopefully.

[Mr. Blonde]

I wonder if he'll make Satan his bitch again.

[FrozenMonkey]

/b/ is an imageboard on 4chan that allows you to unleash your inner asshole.

/r/ is a request board.

So, when you are looking for something, you say /r/ *object*.

I actually saw the video on Arabic TV. But they cut it off the a second after they released the platform he was standing on... I was surprised by how calm he was, he was actually talking to his executioners. I'm sure the vid will find it's way to the internet.

Edit: Here is a vid, but it doesn't show his actuall death.

[<Enjoy-Incubus>]

It's kind of bad but I want to see him fall...

[Lachrymose]

It's kind of bad but I want to see him fall...

Me too, but at the same time that whole thing sends chills down my spine.

[Blinkie]

I feel like this is not the end but a beginning.

I don't mean it is the beginning of a beautiful thing either. I just feel like there will be consequences for this. I don't know how to explain it, but I just do feel that way.

Also, I feel the same way about the video that Lachry does. Every time I see something from before his death, I feel uneasy. I don't know why, it's really weird. I can watch someone be killed with no big issues, but when I see him alive preparing to be killed, I just feel uneasy.

I also hate watching people who are now dead on tv. It always bothers me. I don't know why. Like after John Ritter died, I couldn't watch Three's Company or his other show, I can't remember what it was called. The one with the mom from Married with Children.

[Lachrymose]

Eight Simples Rules...

But anyway, you explained it perfectly. In those few moments, I almost felt sorry for him. I can't even imaging what was going through his mind while being prepared.

[Blinkie]

I said to EI I felt bad for him. Not almost. He looked at me like I was crazy. It's not that I feel bad for him because he doesn't deserve it. He does, but still. I mean, sure he deserves it but still...I don't know how to explain it well. He was so consumed with hate, and his life has nothing positive to show. It's just sad.

I also feel like I need to see the video so I know it is real.
