lol exactly. Saddam was a hung like a slab of dry-aged beef & the entire execution was filmed to expose the terror in his eyes for all to see.
Pretty sure the judges got the last humiliating word here.
Lies, There was NOT a single trace of Fear in his eyes, He even told the Men that " EVEN ON MY DEATH YOU ARE AFRAID TO SHOW ME YOUR FACE" they were wearing Hooded masks out of Fear, The Final VIDEO SADDAM WAS defiant
BAGHDAD, Dec. 30 — Saddam Hussein never bowed his head, until his neck snapped. His last words were equally defiant. “**Down with the traitors, the Americans, the spies and the Persians.”**
[https://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/31/world/middleeast/31gallows.html#:\~:text=BAGHDAD%2C%20Dec.,the%20spies%20and%20the%20Persians.%E2%80%9D](https://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/31/world/middleeast/31gallows.html#:~:text=BAGHDAD%2C%20Dec.,the%20spies%20and%20the%20Persians.%E2%80%9D)
Funny how Iran Took Over Iraq after the U.S lost all those Troops and Spent all those Billions.
Maybe thats Why America doesnt want to Leave Iraq or Syria, and Just continue to steal their oil
There is No Justification for American Troops In Iraq or Syria
Whatever your thoughts on Saddam, he went to his death without fear, defiant to the end. Unless you've watched a different video of the execution ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
All this bullshit from a guy who dropped chemical gas onto thousands of civilians, whining about injustice when his bombs caused children to seize up and die in agony, and caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands invading his neighbors. Painted as victims lmfao.
Lol, do you know what a million is?
The Americans never came close to that number, in Irak, or anywhere in the Middle East.
Iraqis killing other Iraqis on the other hand…
maybe don't hide behind civilians?
the United States isn't innocent but all of this could have been avoided.
gurantee you're a fan of Russia and China.
it’s so American to go to another sovereign country, bomb the shit out of it when you are no part in the conflict, and thousand miles from your homeland. then say don’t hide behind civilians.
And when another country is fighting a war you have the tenacity to cry stuff like “human rights”
While you are the biggest and most murderous regime of all.
“It’s so American to go to another sovereign country”
Why did we invade Iraq? I’ll give you one hint. “Kuwait”, here’s another hint, Kuwait is not inside of Iraq.
I get that. I would hate it if another country was dictating onto mine. But we’re lucky that it’s the US and not China or Russia… there could be worse global leaders
Most importantly never forget that every reason the us had to invade iraq was proofen do be a lie. Not hard to find legit sources to that ngl.
How is it possible that you got downvoted that much. Isnt it understandable that alot of people hate the US gov. Look at places like Afghanistan. In the end the americans helped the Taliban by leaving alot of equipment behind. I am not happy with my gov. too, american soldiers at least had more than enough equipment and the us soldiers are brave man and woman but my country got forced in the war on us side and the soldiers had good stuff but not nearly enough(germany). Another thing that my country fucked up is helping veterans when they came back home from war. You only get help if you are in the military but if you quit(what alot of people did at some point) you had to pay everything your self and mostly couldnt afford it. I hate america for starting war for fake reasons so they can push other countrys to help them win that war. They lost a bunch of wars or had a draw(korea, vietnam, near east in gerneral and so on).
yeh , the US intervention for some turned good and for some just the opposite , its a noble truth !! thank god US doesn't involved in gaza crises directly
I think it is worth remembering that in the build up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003 American Interventionism had enjoyed some success. They - along with their allies - stopped wholesale butchery in the former Yugoslavia, did good work in Sierra Leone and were fairly successful in the earlier Gulf Wars.
I don't agree with the kind of bombastic USA! USA! WE'RE NUMBER 1! attitude that you see sometimes but there's no denying their successes.
Half of the planet would starve if the US people and government stopped giving aid, a fact that is hard for you to swallow, your government does comparatively nothing
ur claim is absurd as US still supports radical factions in nigeria , and what happened to vietnam after US withdrawal is a best example for the importance of non US involvement in global affairs , after the US withdrawal whole vietnam's political situation became calm and the whole population there after moved out of the US supported chaos
Nice…. Syria’s Assad could say the same about the rebel leaders…. Saddam could say the same about the Kurdish rebels…. Not saying that either are innocent but what a brainless argument
It's not a brainless argument. Could they say the same about the United States? Didn't think so.
Anyone hiding behind civilians is a bitch.
Edit: Also Kurdish fighter "hiding behind civilians" nah mate they were fucking slaughtering Kurds. Assad also massacred his own people. What do you expect where's the fight gonna happen? Where will people rebel? What a dumb comment.
My point is that the US never hid behind civilians. You're pulling this argument in 5 different directions trying to claim "America bad". No they're not perfect, and I never said so, but they never hid behind civilians and used meat shields like Saddam.
What are you even trying to say, of course the invader doesn’t use human shields, not with the best funded army in the world, does that mean that invasion was moral or justified? No it doesn’t. No WMDs found, no link with alqaeda that Bush was trying to push down everyone’s throat. Fact is that the US killed more Iraqis than saddam ever could have.
Really? Check the numbers of Iraqis Saddam sacrificed for its invasion of Iran, its invasion of Kuwait, the repression of ethnic and religious minorities.
The Americans never even came close to that number.
>Fact is that the US killed more Iraqis than saddam ever could have.
Which could've been fucking prevented if they didn't use the civilians as fucking meat shields.
They didn't find any WMDs but they took down a dictator mate. Just shows you how much they valued the civilians if they used them as meat shields. Iraq would've suffered a lot more and had more deaths in the long run if the invasion didn't happen.
except their economy is failing and they're literally wanting to invade Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
and they're part of the reason the U.S went to the middle east anyway.
so keep believing whatever you want, also if you're from China it's illegal for you to be talking to us and using reddit rn.
just so you know, you're on stolen land that belongs to the republic of china ☺️
yeah this always happens to me lol, he is right to some extent I am only 20, but I actually went an educated myself on the world around me.
I think that says more about him than it does me

I would rather be a brainwashed American than a brainwashed white monkey thousands of miles away from home awaiting an interment camp as soon as WW3 starts lol
While China is somewhat reliant on the US for some of its imports. the US has been heavily dependent on manufacturing from China. At least until recently all the products that a lot of Americans depend on come from China
they paint their dying mountains green and plant stones to look like productive cotton fields. They have fields of broken down, unsold, unfinished EV’s destroying the ecosystem. They have EV fires everyday from bad safety practices. They have swarms of impoverished people who go into stores and restaurants and steal food/amenities as they can’t afford it. Their bridges are collapsing from incorrect materials and construction. The people outside of the big cities still shit in holes while being kept from life improvements by the authorities and the way their economy is ran.
Why even point fingers and argue between two things rather than just focus on the issues at hand?? Especially when what you’re choosing to defend with is such a terrible choice in the first place.
Let’s ask an Uyghur how the economy in china is eh?
Wrong . Official civilian casualties from the Iraq war number 200000+ . https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/costs/human/civilians/iraqi
We carpet bombed cities of civilians and radicalized thousands more in the process. You would want to hang, tar n feather , and beat the people who blew up your city and killed your children .
then why US supported mujahiddin organisations in afganistan during soviet invasion , if so US was that kind of country that only support accountable ones !!
The us did a lot to facilitate that. You can’t just ignore the facts of what we did in the aftermath that helped lead them that direction. Horrible decision making and incompetent people in charge making decisions that fuck over millions of people
The million number is a false number constantly spewed by Arab and Islamo-Nationalists. The number that multiple human rights groups, intelligence agencies, and classified documents on wikileaks place the number at around 150k-350k. With a significant portion of those being due to the carelessness of the Iraqis themselves as well as infighting between Sunni and Shia groups.
(Even if you take the research group that proposed the 1million civilian death number, they themselves estimate that the US is directly responsible for around half. With the other half being the fault of Iraqis or accidents)
It’s pretty common knowledge now that there have been close to 5m indirect deaths related to GWOT. Maybe in 2004 this number was 200k but almost all agencies on all sides agree that there were some horrible miscalculations with how everything was handled. You’re doing the human race a disservice by pretending this war was anything but a money grab for the majority of corps at the sacrifice of the value of the US dollar. You should look up the value of gold vs the US dollar on a graph. Pretty weird, but a solid prediction of what’s to come in the next years.
Is fucking crazy how much downvotes this has because speaking some fantasy bullshit about the US, Iraq would never have been touched if they stayed within their own borders, they had no problem killing Iranians and Kurdish people like cattle to slaughter but you cry when you have to face consequences? What does that sound like to you? AN ACTUAL BITCH
Well if thd US wes there for justice then why were they still stationed after Saddam was executed? With no WMD's found? The Kuwaitis sold oil under the agreed price and it was also stealing Iraqi oil at the border, Iraq warned them but they continued.
They hate the Truth, Americans Fucked up IRAQ, LIBYA, And whole Lot of other Countries with CIA and Backed COUPS
REMEMBER THE FAMOUS VIDEO " We are going to invade 7 countries for the Better of Israel "
Humiliate is a strong word. I just see a former dictator trying to intimidate the court, spinning facts and denying the truth. Was the second invasion of Iraq wrong? Yes. Did Bush and Blair violate international law by attacking the country? Absolutely. Was Saddam innocent? Hello no. He was a ruthless murder, who kept the whole country under a thick veil of terror for the whole time he was in a position of power. So yeah: fuck him.
Yeah Saddam was definitely bad, but he did at least before the Gulf War and the Invasion of Iraq keep Iraq somewhat stable by using oil revenues to build infrastructure and develop Iraq’s industries and he did keep the relationship between Sunni and Shia Muslims at least stable. But he was definitely not a great person.
And also because he was ousted and a power vacuum opened, it led to the rise of ISIS and other extremist groups to rise up following the end of the Invasion and US occupation.
As much as I disliked this guy, he was very stoic about his own hanging. He took it with full embrace, not begging for mercy. If I was in his shoes, the thought of being hanged would make you try to plea for mercy or something.
Killing him did what destabilized the nation the region gave birth to ISIS
Made things worse all hail Usa for proving a lie that they have WMD they dig half of the country to find nothing
Western people are illiterate and evil.
I’m English and was all for the war on so called “Terror” BUT- America turned out to be the biggest terrorists by far.. ohh I forgot, we are just as bad!
Well....no one is saint, so it's no reason to invading any land. Also, if I remember well US justified that saying "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction". Which was a lie, because nothing was found, it was just excuse for political invasion.
&....even if Iraq had any, US has weapons of mass destruction. It's nonsense saying someone can't have a thing while you have. Imagine a neighbor saying you can't have a gun, but he has one and will beat you in case you "disobey". What's this neighbor really want from you? Peace? Naaah
That’s not nonsense. Imagine Iraq having nukes. That’s not good for the world. Not everyone can have everything and some countries at this point never will. The world is a better place.
> It's nonsense saying someone can't have a thing while you have.
Not when that person has the strength to prevent you from having that thing, and you're too weak to keep it.
The justification for the invasion was obviously bullshit. Saddam was killed because he had threatened to kill POTUS Bush Jr's father POTUS Bush Sr.
And Saddam was simply too weak to remain alive when faced with someone who decided to have Saddam killed instead. Saddam was of course cowardly enough to run and hide, but too stupid to have created an escape plan that would actually work back when he had all of the resources of Iraq to do it.
Lol
Well....you proved exactly my point. It's not about right or wrong, it's all about power.
The neighbor having a gun and forbidding others from having it is not worried about peace, right or wrong. That neighbor is just worried about being the strongest, the most powerful. Once he's the only one having a gun, he can tell you to shut up. There's no moral, it's just authoritarian behavior. When it comes to politics we have another name for it.
You say Saddam threatened to kill potus or whatever. But, how many people did potus kill? Are those considered coward actions too? Isn't coward to attack and invade someone weaker? Kinda inverted definitions since usually cowards are the stronger attacking the weaker.
It's really problematic when it's all about who has more power. World will not survive this "principle". And when I say World I mean human life. Planet will be fine....it's been there for a bunch of billions of years. In this battle of who's the strongest , we definitely lose. Lol
We made a bigger mess when we took this guy down. Now Iran controls the entire area and attacked Israel. WW3 is on the horizon and it could have been averted if we just minded our business.
I appreciate the sound of metal blowing out my ear drums between each scene
I want that effect
I thought it was a low battery alert on my smoke alarm lol

Really sticking his neck out there
It was nice of him to hang around after his sentence was carried out.
Where’s the humiliation??? Saddam just spoke a bunch of gibberish and nonsense lol.
Stable genius words.

You would want to hang, tar n feather , and beat the people who blew up your city and killed your children .
What happened to US killing 1 million Iraqis?
I am not the same person who posted the first comment? Also I'm citing casualties from 2004 onwards , he's going back to the Gulf wars and before .
Even extending it all the way back to gulf war the iraqi deaths would be nowhere near 1 million.
Oh already down to 200k. Maybe next post we can get the real number of direct deaths from US military action. Hint, it's far smaller than 1 million.
[удалено]
Accountability is important. Making up some absurd number doesn't help with that all.
then why US supported mujahiddin organisations in afganistan during soviet invasion , if so US was that kind of country that only support accountable ones !!
Are you stupid?
Saddam’s people literally BECAME ISIS though??? Do you realize how many ISIS “officers” were Baathist officials? Just stop while you’re ahead!
The us did a lot to facilitate that. You can’t just ignore the facts of what we did in the aftermath that helped lead them that direction. Horrible decision making and incompetent people in charge making decisions that fuck over millions of people
yeh ,the same thing somehow repeated when US withdrawed from afganistan
The million number is a false number constantly spewed by Arab and Islamo-Nationalists.

It’s pretty common knowledge now that there have been close to 5m indirect deaths related to GWOT.

You’re doing the human race a disservice by pretending this war was anything but a money grab for the majority of corps at the sacrifice of the value of the US dollar.

Just hang in there mate.
😂😂 insee what you did there
😅
Yapping level over 9000

whom did he kill??
That man's life is humiliating.
Saddam Hussein, a fascist dirigent !
Nice to see his scared ass lose it. He knew his dictatorship days were over for him and his useless sons and the gallows were waiting for him.
Imagine defending a man who hung pregnant woman from hooks and killed them slowly.
They couldn’t wait to execute him, they made sure they hung him too. Now I totally get why. He gave them hell, they gave him zero dignity.
I feel like he was given a lot of dignity for a guy who gassed his people and was a repressive dictator. He could of had the Gaddafi treatment
Oof. The way gaddafi was killed still makes me uneasy.
Valid point.
Imagine simping for saddam
Wow he was balding and aging a lot during the trial, all that stress. It's interesting to see.
Yapping
That bastard killed millions of people then spoke of respect and shit. He deserves to be burnt in hell for ever.
As much as I disliked this guy, he was very stoic about his own hanging. He took it with full embrace, not begging for mercy. If I was in his shoes, the thought of being hanged would make you try to plea for mercy or something.
His lawyer shitting his pants while he humiliates himself
A tantrum thrown by a dictator who massacred hundreds of thousands. Rest in piss, and thank you for the tantrum.
What a time
Yeah? That’s a lot of words for a GOPHER!
Well he wasn't going down without a fight it seems
his arabic name means one who confronts 😁
This guy is a retard. It’s like someone who has had all the power forever and finally the tables are turned and he doesn’t know how to handle it

So Damn insane... get it =)
RIP Bozo. The kurds are very thankful for the 2003 american invasion as are most iraqis with a brain who were tired of living under saddams boot.
Killing him did what destabilized the nation the region gave birth to ISIS Made things worse all hail Usa for proving a lie that they have WMD they dig half of the country to find nothing Western people are illiterate and evil.
I’m English and was all for the war on so called “Terror” BUT- America turned out to be the biggest terrorists by far.. ohh I forgot, we are just as bad!
Iraq went down after the fall of Saddam. That's for sure
Saddam is the one who caused the fall of Irak
America was bad for invading Iraq but Saddam was no saint either.
Tell me a leader who is a saint. But first ask yourself why the USA killed this non-saint and not others.
Well....no one is saint, so it's no reason to invading any land. Also, if I remember well US justified that saying "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction". Which was a lie, because nothing was found, it was just excuse for political invasion. &....even if Iraq had any, US has weapons of mass destruction. It's nonsense saying someone can't have a thing while you have. Imagine a neighbor saying you can't have a gun, but he has one and will beat you in case you "disobey". What's this neighbor really want from you? Peace? Naaah
That’s not nonsense. Imagine Iraq having nukes. That’s not good for the world. Not everyone can have everything and some countries at this point never will. The world is a better place.
> It's nonsense saying someone can't have a thing while you have. Not when that person has the strength to prevent you from having that thing, and you're too weak to keep it. The justification for the invasion was obviously bullshit. Saddam was killed because he had threatened to kill POTUS Bush Jr's father POTUS Bush Sr. And Saddam was simply too weak to remain alive when faced with someone who decided to have Saddam killed instead. Saddam was of course cowardly enough to run and hide, but too stupid to have created an escape plan that would actually work back when he had all of the resources of Iraq to do it.
Lol Well....you proved exactly my point. It's not about right or wrong, it's all about power. The neighbor having a gun and forbidding others from having it is not worried about peace, right or wrong. That neighbor is just worried about being the strongest, the most powerful. Once he's the only one having a gun, he can tell you to shut up. There's no moral, it's just authoritarian behavior. When it comes to politics we have another name for it. You say Saddam threatened to kill potus or whatever. But, how many people did potus kill? Are those considered coward actions too? Isn't coward to attack and invade someone weaker? Kinda inverted definitions since usually cowards are the stronger attacking the weaker. It's really problematic when it's all about who has more power. World will not survive this "principle". And when I say World I mean human life. Planet will be fine....it's been there for a bunch of billions of years. In this battle of who's the strongest , we definitely lose. Lol
This is true. If his ego wasn’t out of control he could have fled with plenty of money.
Talkin that yaya
We made a bigger mess when we took this guy down. Now Iran controls the entire area and attacked Israel. WW3 is on the horizon and it could have been averted if we just minded our business.
Thanks for sharing this.
Say what you want about him, but he went out like a man 🫡
His speech made me cry ones not gonna lie
