Could it be that Saddam's date with death is only hours way?
It has been reported that the US had handed over the custody of Saddam to Iraqi officials & that means that's the final step before going ahead & carrying out the ruling of the court.
A Judge in Iraq also told the AP that he would be hung by no later than Saturday. Officials wished to carryout his sentence last night, but could not due to logistical reasons.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said: "our respect for human rights requires us to execute him, and there will be no review or delay in carrying out the sentence."
-Update December 30, 2006: Saddam Hussein has been hanged Saturday at dawn.
finalllllyyyyyyy! i hope they stick to their words and carry out the execution asap! hahahahhaaaaaaa sadam wave to the world goodbye! at last justice is being served and joy has filled the hearts of the innocent iraqis. as for those who support him, go ahead and follow ur master and die in loyalty with him!
First of all, I am against the execution of Saddam Hussein.. No matter what Saddam Hussein did in Iraq. I don’t think the Americas have the right to execute him.. They are executing the guy for the 183 iraqis that were killed in DUJAIL in 1983 after attempting to assassinate HIM… I mean since the beginning of the War... The American Army have killed people in Iraq during the war much more than the number that were killed during the period of Saddam... The USA killed more people in IRAQ than SADDAM..!!
WHO ARE "THEY" TO EXECUTE SADDAM..??
WHO GAVE THEM THE RIGHT..?
LOOK AT IRAQ AFTER THE AMERICAN-IRAQI WAR.!!!
THEY STILL WANT TO EXECUTE SADDAM??
CORRECTION..!!
Saddam was sentenced to death... after killing 148 Shiite villagers in Dujail in 1982, in retaliation for an assassination attempt.
AND NOT 183 iraqis!!! and 1982 NOT 1983
Thnks
my mum cried when i told her , Well i am against it . They'rnt arabs , Sadam is an arabian president we should judje the punishment not thos e CRAPS
excuse me Zeid but clearly u know nothing about Sadam and his crimes agains humanity in iraq. sadam is responsible for tens of thousands of murders and executions of innocent iraqi civilians. its about time he gets a taste of his own medicine!! and besides, whether u call it an american judjement or not doesnt make a difference because this sentence has been set under IRAQI law and by the wish of the IRAQI people (apart from the odd few). In fact Tony Blair and many americans are against the death sentence. its a shame though that he's getting away with the much bigger crimes that he committed, including the Anfal mass murder, and the gasing of Halabja, and more. The mass murder of Dujail is one of the small crimes hes committed compared to the others. People talk about sadam's human rights....well i ask them, what happend to the human rights of the thousands of iraqi civilians when they were murdered for no reason, i dont see anyone complaining about them not having human rights, where were u 'human rights activists' at that time? or is sadam more important than those thousands? its funny how the arabs think they know well whats going on iraq and whats right more than the iraqis themselves. and actually its quite expected that they react in this way, because sadam played the role of the good man, donating money to the arab countries and helping them whilst the people of his country were dieing of hunger and his country was in ruins. may God never forgive him. as for the current situation in iraq, how much worse could it get??? it cant. with him alive or not the violence would continue, so at least do the iraqis a favour and get rid of him. good ridence!
and just to let u know, im a half Iraqi half Syrian Christian.
If Saddam is a war criminal, so is Bush.
If Saddam should hang, so should Bush.
Let's not forget who's crimes are worse, and how much damage was done.
In comparison, Bush is worse.
kilililileeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh
1000 mabrook ya 3ira8eeyeen walaw i3dama ija kollish mit2akhir , wara ma 8attal me2at el 2alaf oo yattam koma jahal oo sharradhom men baladhom..

WEll, those who live by the sword, die by the sword.
he died......
NOO! wtf how could they kill him...hez the best ARAB true leader i have ever heard about.... and he killed those iraqis for reasons and they deserve it!!!!!.... and y did they excute him?!!! i swear iraqis deserve everything thats happing to them right now... inchala america will stay in their lands for wut they did to saddam!! how could they kill their leader?! its like you killing ur dad! allah yer7mo, may he rest in peace... :(
I think the person that should be excuted is BUSH!!! not saddam... saddam is the best leader i have ever known... this is the saddest point in history! but that proves something that arabs are traders!!! i am very ashamed...
Finally hes gone...even tho am Full Iraqin but dont care about him at all...and plus for those who are saying americans killed more people in iraq...americans didnt kill its those muslim people who are killing and u know why..because saddam taught them that..so why dont u go and ask saddam that, americans didnt kill after the war!!! its all muslims and i dont care whos muslim in here but they are the worse people on the earth!!!thats all am gona say and thank god one is gone for now, i wish they all go after saddam!!!
Even with Saddam dead now, it wont make any difference in Iraq.
nina...if you want pople to respect your opinion you have to respect yourself and what you say to those people..being racist wont help..it will only create more problems...the average death of iraqis over the hands of Americans is greater than the average death of iraqis over iraqis(shittes,sunnis,kurds etc etc).you call them the 'worst' people on earth yet you seem to be the exact same because of your horrendous words.why dont you go educate yourself about the true principles of islam(from the holy koran)rather than bullshit about some crazy extremists who you think represent muslims worldwide.
dufus
They sued saddan today, watch the news...
Shadi
i really do hate him and. but when i saw the footage of him being executed i almost cried i felt soo sorry for him because what i strictly bilieve is no one shoud be executed .he has killed ssoo many people so he has to be in prison for life and after his death god would know what to do wit him.please dont even think im one percent on his side i am not i just think the execution law shouldnt exist.because we people can't decide someone's death only god can and should.but now tha he is dead it brought happiness to iraqi people and thats what matters they have been through so much so noww they deserve to take a deeep breath .BUT WILL AMERICA LET THEM?
uzma,is absolutely correct.only God decides when to end one mans life not man himself.execution trials make us step further away from democracy (as arab countries).in europe thousands and thousands of bosnian muslims were buried alive by serbians in what is now formally called a genocide.the two men, however, who are mainly responsible among others for these atrocities (karadzic and Mladic)were not even ARRESTED!The massacre was carefully plotted. Murdering 8,000 people in less than a week requires logistical skills and organisation: men, weapons, ammunition, fuel, buses, lorries, excavators, bulldozers. All of this was finely calibrated by Mr Mladic's staff.
In the months that followed the orgy of killing, the Bosnian Serbs engaged in an elaborate cover-up operation, exhuming the corpses from the mass graves and scattering the remains in so-called "secondary mass graves" to confound local and international investigators. That has complicated exhumation, recovery, and identification procedures for the victims. Experts believe at least 20 mass grave sites have yet to be discovered or investigated.
shameful to know how America(or the WEST in general) is so hyped up about hanging one man who murdered thousands yet did not bother about these christian mass murderers. it just hints that murdering saddam will be a very powerfully positive thing towards America, a benefit, or vice versa, powerfully negative.we can only wait to see.
i also had to mention the HELPLESS state shitte muslims in iraq are going to be in when America abandons iraq(which is VERY soon).civil war?sunni revenge?shitte or sunni hold on power?iraq breaking up and the kurds get their own independant state out of it?
its all coming soon
in my opinion..murdering saddam hussein was a very bad step which was passed by America and accepted by the iraqis(not because i support him but because of the consequences of hanging him).his death will ignite an already volatile iraq.
i watched the vedios in news.. it wasnt like he was scared .. :S person facing deatch and yet as calm as can be :S.... ..ny wayz always expect nything.. maybe 2mrw they are gonna say opps this guy was not saddam but a clone :S... neva know wats cums up in these pplz brains....but if he died.. serves him well after all the harm he has done.... Well he got his faith from a judgement made by a human... but wait BUSH is gonna be judged by god him self a 1000000000000 times more... those doing bad in life and are still living happily without being judge , i belive god is making them live more...to see the extent of their evil and then they will punished million times for each and every sin they commiitted...
GOD IS GOOD... AND INSHALLAH and MAY ALL THE EVILS IN THE WORLD DIE
videos* nd srry for the spelling mistakes ^_^
If you feel sad about Saddam's execution then what about those innocent Iraqis who were brutally murdered and tortured under his command?
If Bush is a war crminal, then that makes Saddam a victim of Western Imperalism?
All the evidence is aganist him and his men from the 1988 massacre in Halabja to the invasion of Kuwait in 1990, not to mention that millions suffered from the sanctions that weakened Iraq's economy as an oil-producing country, as well as the genocides committed against the and Shiites.
He finally tasted from the same cup he gave his people in the last 24 years.
first of all rest in peace saddam, hope he goes to heavn!... im palestnian and personally i love saddamn with all my heart! i think its unfair that he died, and that bush should die not him, beacuse bush is the one who has been killing people not saddam, also wut saddam did in the past, is in the past and plus they deserv it! Saddam will alwayz be my hero and my idol, rest in peace saddam :(
this is the best news we've heard in ages. congratulations to all the wise people who understand the significance of this event. may he rot in hell forever!!
We arab are so stupid!
haram they hang him. he didn’t even say goodbye hes own daughters who is hidden in Jordan. The hanges is the rule of America wants Saddam almoot. How dare them.
Now all arab is with westerns, for real. May rest he’s soul. And you know what Saddam will hunt them every locations where they are hidden especially the gaboos Bush.
I'm americian i live in the usa and i'm so sad that he died i hope he rests in peace now.first of all it's eid elad7a it's a muslim holiday they didnt find any day to kill him but this day and lets assume he did kill 250,000 people america killed millions of people since they came.And sharon killed millions of palestinians how come they didn't hang him.from my point of view saddam is a hero to me i hope he's in heaven now.And i'm so ashamed when some people are happy because his death.let me tell you people something any human death is sad.and no one ever tried to protect palestine and fight israel exept him.SADDAM is a true hero.And i think the people who let the americian troops in iraq should be hanged by their heads not saddam who is a true leader.3eeb alshoom 3alykoom sho betsawoo koodam alamerkan.
Regardless!, it was done on the first day of EID, this is disrespectful and all you arabs, muslims should be ashamed of this action because americans by far are underestimating us morally!
I am tired of everyone speaking with such bias based on how they percieve Saddam rather hen the facts and what is best.To all of you who are treating him like a saint, you are wrong. Saddam did many horribe things and if the trial were fair he would not have gotten any less then life in prison. And for all of you "yay lets kill the crap out of him" people, you are completely ignorant. This is wrong. Not for his sake but for the sake of Iraq.
First of all this is DISGRACEFUL to muslims and the US is responsible. We do not execute on 3id. We just don't.It is disgraceful that the US go to a foreign country take over hang their leader on their most holy day thereby disgracing their culture and religion. They never let him see his children before dieing and they should not have hung him. Hanging is a barbaric method of excecution. The US says that they are trying to bring peace to Iraq but then they go and encourage barbaric excecution. Don't anyone make the "Saddam wasn't merciful" excuse because i we want the new government to be like him then there is no reason to have replaced him. Though many Iraqis may support it there are many ho do not. Why bring in another issue to divide them huh? We must think not of revenge but what is best for the dignity and prosperity of the country. This excecution was carried out merely so that the US could have the satisfaction of playing police officer with the world. For instance people are even lieing about how the excecution took place(he was not afraid is what I mean) they claim this only to further disgrace him and the former Iraq even more. They can not simply claim the moral authority to do anything they may please.
Now I understand you people who wanted this I really do. I'm not saying that Saddam was a good man nor a good leader. But still the trial was anything but fair. But we have to think of moving forward and what is best to bring peace to Iraq. This is clearly degregaton to Islam in that excecution on 3id is wrong. There are 365 days in the year, does anyone still think this to be a coincidense?
i am iraqi and yet i am still against the execution. america dont have a right to kill saddam. if they wanted to cause him pain then they should have jailed him for life. they dont have the authority to take a former presidents life. this is disgraceful. and whats even worse, iraqis are celebrating. why? because you killed our leader? they think that all of this is going to get better. today, after they executed him, 3 car bombs went off killing dozens. if they are executing leaders, why not execute george bush? hes killed so many iraqis by sending the troops into iraq. hes selfish, he only sent them there because he wanted oil, and for him, he would stop at nothing to take it.
i dont think saddam is a saint. far from it! but i just really dont think executing him was the answer
i just want to make it clear that for the majority of iraq, today was not eid, its tomorrow (sunday), so enough of this 'haram to execute on eid' talk.
anyway its all over, done, finished, no point disputing over it anymore, whether u like it or not hes gone.
What is done is done, if God wanted Sadam to live than he would probably be a live now.
That men is responsible for the killings of women and children, 200000 of Kurds.
He attacked khaleeji country Kuwait, why??
Because Kuwait historically belonged to IraQ.
He fired scud-rackets on Israël and Saudi Arabia, luckely he did not destroy our dear Kaab. Everybody knows that Saddam is Muslim and reads the Koran. You have realy to be a foolish man to kill people after reading Al Quran al Karim.
Sadam is a totally braiwashed person. I'm not pro -Bush neither pro-American.
Only God creates life and takes it away!
Unfortunately sunnis ans shi3a muslims are still killing eachtother now.
Why can't they live in peace with eachother, they are really going bad these days.
Why can't they see that they have the same religioun?? I really hope for the Iraqi people that they one day live in peace without american oppression in their country.
Faysal.
hi lina, sorry just want to say that for the shi3as its eid tomorrrow, however the sunnis celebrate eid today.
many people are on the news are saying that its not haram to have killed saddam today because technically, the sunni eid does not start until sundown and they executed him in the early hours of the morning, but just the fact that they did it on the day of this holy event is haram. why didnt they just wait?
bebe, you have no heart! how could you say that the iraqis deserve everything they are getting. i dont know what ur nationality is, but im sure if you heard someone say that about your home country you would react the same as me. everyday millions of children are deing, and nobody cares anymore. its like the american soldiers are killing ants. and then one american soldier dies and the whole world makes a fuss. America is a selfish country and the day that whats happening in iraq happens to them, it will be the happiest day of my whole life.
sorry bebe, i just read your other comments. your country, palestine is going through the hardest time. i thought that if anyone would take pity on iraqis, it would be a palestinian. i agree that they shouldnt have killed saddam because he helped orphans in iraq and he tried to help palestine. but i still dont think that iraqis deserve whats happening to them now!
Listen all of you. Saddam is a hero. These people had no right taking him out of power, and taking his life. Iraq was and still is too tough of a country to rule because of the fact that there are far too many gangs, guerilla groups, and religious factions! He had to be tough to keep the damn people over there in line. Saddam had an excellent reason to do everything he did in his past, killing all those people and "making them suffer" is because the people he had killed were those who allied with the Shiites Iranians and went against their own country..ALL TRAITORS..So being a typical leader of a country, he took care of them for going against their own country..
He was only doing what he needed to do to keep order in his country and everything at peace. If people there didn't like it they should've left. Those who allied with the enemies against Iraq were all weaklings and Saddam took them out creating a stronger nation.
Yalla, Ullah Yirhemoo. He was a hero Indeed, hopefully some of of can see that.
Good bye saddam see u in the hell
i am sorry for all the comments i posted and i dont mean any of it! i dont even know who i am...i think im going crazy!!!
i was in sooooooo much shock when i heard/saw it on the news. I even cried a little it. saddam is not a bad man and never was...and i mean lets say he is what so ever U.S.A has no rights to invade irag and its leader. they never care about its citizens because saddan was a leader for over 20years..and 'IF' he was really bad they could have stopped him from the first 10 or atleast 15years he ruled iraq. those idiots came out of nowhere invadine iraq and saying we are killing its leader destroying the generation's future...because saddam is bad!? i mean what!!!!!!
they came all the way to the mid-east for that oil and because he had destructive weapons!! this is WRONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'IF' SADDAM EVER WAS THAAT HORRIBLE SOMEONE ELSE FROM MID-EAST SHOULD HAVE STOPPED RIGHT AWAY AN ARAB NOT AN AMERICA AFTER BUILDING IRAQ AND RULING IT FROM THE MASSIVE DESTRUCTIONS THAT WAS OCCURING BEFORE HE RULED IT.

WHERE IS HUMANITY
THANK YOU!
… you don’t have to agree but at least try to respect other opinions =o)
Let me just start by saying that there is no such thing as a “great or noble” president, let’s put aside whether the man was good or not… it is a humiliation to the Muslims to execute at around a time like this… whatever happened to 3arafat and 3eid al ad7a!! This is a sacred time, and you gotta love this … if it was a Jew, they would have waited, as a respect to the people and the holiday time. As I stood celebrating eid today with tens of people, all they talked about was Sadaam, you can assume how that went!
Sadaam was executed and brought down by a butcher, how sad! They kill hundreds of Iraqis daily while repeating the phrase “The new Iraq”
Big sigh….
Sadaam might have not been good to his people, I say Allah a3lam, I’ve heard so many different stories, I cant really judge that, but what I do know is that legally he must die shot at, army way. Also, Iraqi people are to decide his end, not the puppet judges, court and the media that is designed by the USA! Just where the hell were they years ago?? I’ll tell you… They were using him in their advantage, supplying him with MDWs, but now that there is no use for him, they gotta kill him!!
There are tons of people in need all around the world, USA chooses and picks whatever is in their own convenience, As of now Sadaam is nothing but history, let’s direct our attention to the ones that are throwing the party, can you guess it? Can you stop them?
NINA... LOL! I JUST READ YOUR COMMENT, YOU MUST BE A DISGUISED JEW. ONLY THEY WISH THAT MUSLIMS WOULD DIE IN SUCH WAY, I MUST PARDON YOU FOR YOUR STUPIDITY AND IGNORANCE, YOU CANT HELP IT IF YOUR ANCESTORS DIDNT CHANGE THEIR WAYS... 7ASBIYA ALLAH WA NI3MA AL WAKEEL FEEKI! <--- FEAR THAT!
3O'BAALAK YA BUSH =o)
the shiaa people murdered saddam on the sunni eid day so that this day no longer remains eid for the sunnis...so that this day burns into their memories forever...so that their eid will always be a day of mourning...not happiness.what kind of person would wish such a thing onto another?personally i think the shiaas are pieces of scum who arent even muslim.they have separated themselves from islam so much because of a stupid disagreement over who was meant to be the caliphate after the prophet.pathetic.the devil is probably laughing at the ignorant,angry and helpless state of all iraqis and muslims in general.were like the jews who betrayed moses once.actually jews are more deserving of the middle east and better than all of us muslims.but anyway..its all coming for the shiaa iraqis.they're going to learn a lesson they'll never forget in their lives..they'll go back to the iran's shithole they came from.crazy people...never stop bashing themselves with stones.they remind me of the cannibals of the amazon..actually cannibals are more civilized than them. mwahahahahahahahahahahaah

he only killed those who betrayed him and plotted assasinations against him.
and those were mainly shiaas and kurds.
Did not know that shi3a muslims were so bad :S
shi3a muslims arent bad.they are just happy because for about 20 years they have been watching saddam killing from their people. but what they dont realise is that executing saddam is only going to make things worse.
to screwtheshiaa,
you cannot possibly be a muslim after saying those words! no matter how bad the shiaa are, they are still muslims, so if i were you, i would watch what i say! i agree with you in that they shouldnt have killed saddam on eid day...in fact i disagree with his death totally! he should have been punished, yes, but not killed and humiliated in front of the whole world! no matter how bad he was, he was still a president and should be respected! the reason why i am so angry is that Bush is the happy one now...he got what he wanted which is control over iraq and their oil.
no whatever,
believe it or not i am muslim..but i got to a point where i got so fed up with our problems and embarrasments as muslims(which are mainly caused because of different pathetic sects and alot of terrorists).saddam hussein only got hung because of these shiaa twats who think iraq is going to be built back the way it was after he is dead and most of you will think he probably deserved it but ameena was right he only kiled those who did not cooperate with him about loads of attempted assasination plots.fine..lets say i dont care about saddams death because he was better off dying than living in prison forever but why do such a horrible thing to sunnis..on our eid day?
you tell me they are still muslims but they ACT like they arent...they beat themselves up, they have different prayers,they have different eids....what?ya3ni it seems like a new islam being completely renovated!to me, they arent muslims...they are kufar(my opinion only).The shia of iraq have very clearly waged a war with the sunnah, they allied with the kafir occupation forces and massacred the tribes of fallujah and to this day they hold dungeon prisons where they tortue anyone with a tribal family name.im sorry but i believe that they shoud live in peace with us sunnis but should stop that root of chaos which emerged from them...because then iraq will be like it used to be..one of the best beautifully cultured countries of the world.if they are still the stubborn idiots they are then iraq will no longer be iraq but it will be divided into shiaastan,kurdistan,and sunnistan.maybe that will cheer them up little shits.
