- TheDiggMan, on 11/11/2007, -72/+535Now we need a video.
- addisonj, on 11/11/2007, -40/+422Hmmm.... does the whole
"video or it didn't happen" apply here? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -176/+413"next up... bush"
I realize what you mean and yes Bush is an absolutely horrible president, but you cannot believe that he needs to be EXECUTED...
Impeachment, ok. Execution is taking it a bit far... - sanman, on 10/12/2007, -38/+195Now the souls of those who died on 9/11 can rest in peace, knowing that the man who ordered 9/11...
... has gotten off scot-free, while Dubya chased some other fellow who shamed his Daddy?
Oh, good job.
Hey, look at how US-ally Pinochet gets a full state funeral, and letters of condolence from the Whitehouse.
How many tens of thousands of Afghans died while US ally Musharraf was backing the Taliban during the 1990s? How many Americans have died post-9/11 while the US continues to back Musharraf who in turn continues to back the Taliban that kills US soldiers?
"He may be a mass-murdering dictator -- but at least he's OUR mass-murdering dictator"

When did Saddam commit most of his mass-murders? While he was the USA's bosom buddy.
America! ***** Yeah! Keep putting the F in Freedom! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -10/+157LOL look at Fox News' banner:

- JC4P, on 11/06/2007, -38/+159@apzdsx:
I'm persian, and my dad fought in the Persian Gulf War against Saddam's army. My dad was poisoned because of Saddam, and I will damn hell enjoy his death as much as I want. - retral, on 10/12/2007, -13/+129I think this made the front page in record time.
- Ultroniar, on 10/12/2007, -2/+110According to BBC it was filmed.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -24/+130HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!
- apzdsx, on 10/30/2007, -161/+260I would digg all of you down if I could. The death of anyone or anything should be nothing to celebrate, especially when you consider president Bush's actions have killed more people than 9/11 and Sadam's regime combined.
And those of you asking for a video are just sick. - inactive, on 10/22/2007, -17/+116Your resolution was to kill Saddam?
How is that a resolution? - dontasker, on 10/12/2007, -30/+110one things for sure... that Saddam can really get into the swing of things
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -78/+154dont get me wrong ive got no love for the guy, but how is it our business to invade other countries , ruin them, and kill their leaders?
theres alot of terrible leaders out there (ours for example) but you dont see us invading ALL of them and killing them all of do you.. is that next? - pwner, on 10/12/2007, -9/+83Did he drop some good loot?
- andreo, on 10/12/2007, -17/+89Hmm, that's strange. I don't feel any safer... I was told that I would feel safer...
- gamabunta, on 10/22/2007, -4/+73Is it just me or does it seem like the frontpage image on CNN is memorializing him?
Here's a snapshot in case they change it:

- sfacets, on 10/12/2007, -41/+102Executed for sure, for crimes against humanity as starters.
- zomgflamer, on 10/12/2007, -39/+94Well is Saddam the new boyfriend of satan or is it still chris?
- Skitzzo, on 10/22/2007, -3/+50So... have the fake videos already hit YouTube?
- contextclouds, on 10/12/2007, -8/+53Yeah, but it totally ruins my dead pool for 2007.
- G-RaZoR, on 11/08/2007, -5/+48THERE IS A HUGE RED BANNER RIGHT ON THE CNN.COM PAGE.
- retral, on 10/12/2007, -25/+67Looks like hell is going to need more pineapples.
- holtzdoggy, on 11/08/2007, -6/+47Now its time to find out once and for all....
Will he blend? - krinthekuz, on 09/16/2008, -17/+56i'm all for giving ***** what they deserve, but
1) he would suffer a LOT more in a maximum security penitentiary (so many incredibly racist ball bustin skinheads)
2) we just made a martyr.
go team america. - rhawk301, on 10/12/2007, -29/+65Well, that's what you get for being a New World Order shill. Saddam attempted to unite the Iraqi people (yeah he was pretty brutal), and convert the oil fields back to Iraqi control not US control. Of course working with the CIA and trading weapons with the US over many years he certainly thought he had some pull with us. Never, never double-cross the US foreign policy. All your oil fields are belong to US. So it goes to show you what happens when the US turns on an ally, double-crosses them and sets them up for a major world disaster (9/11). Wait, didn't Rumsfeld start saying that Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11? hmmmm.
So we executed him for being a "bad" guy? Look out China and Iran, and perhaps Putin, here comes the World Police! - kingvar, on 10/12/2007, -14/+45i dunno..i know he supposedly ordered the murder of hundreds..but this hanging doesn't sit well with me..
- seventoes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32My new years resolution is 800x600
- Veritas77, on 10/12/2007, -14/+45Under Saddam's regime you'd have your fingernails yanked out, holes drilled in your nuts, your eyeballs gouged out and then you'd be shot.
Under Bush's regime...you can say whatever the ***** you want, even about Bush with zero fear of negative repercussion.
Get a clue. - masscrazy, on 10/12/2007, -13/+42HE WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR 9/11 JACKASS!!!!!!!!!!!! BUSH HAS ADMITTED THAT!
- cybersnafu, on 10/22/2007, -3/+32VIVA PINATA!
...what? Too soon? - bunni, on 10/22/2007, -4/+33This is insane - 100+ diggs in 7 minutes and the digg algorithm doesn't think this is front page worthy?
- jb978, on 10/12/2007, -21/+47I think prison for life would have been a best resolution since killing him makes him a martyr.
- greybird, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28Reuters has a better story rather than just the banner on ccn:
http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=newsOne&storyID=2006-12-30T030839Z_01_IBO034602_RTRUKOC_0_US-IRAQ.xml - SLP1111, on 10/12/2007, -19/+44Burry me to the hell that Sadam currently resides, but I do not praise this death. Death isnt always the answer- 'An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind' You wont see me dancing in the streets about this news.
- digggggggggg, on 10/12/2007, -6/+31How many of us actually understand the political situation in Iraq right now?
It's much more complicated than just "oh he's dead good riddance let's get on with it." Remember that he was not universally hated by all Iraqis, and the aftermath of his execution could very well result in more sectarian conflict. - Legato, on 10/12/2007, -15/+39and than theres fox news...
http://www.foxnews.com/ - aaronlidman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+27jesus christ, digg stack off the chart...

- atlex2, on 10/12/2007, -41/+63remember the south park episodes where Satan and Saddam are a couple
they are finally back together
LMAO - capn_caveman, on 10/12/2007, -4/+25I've been a member of digg for a while now. You know what's really starting to piss me off about the comment system? Morons posting stupid crap in order to see how many times their comment can be negatively modded. It's getting old. Perhaps digg makes a system where if a comment gets "x" number of negative mods, the user is banned from commenting for a period of time.
- sniper6121, on 10/12/2007, -5/+26Yeah having the link just go to cnn.com/world/ before it is confirmed is a cheap way to get to the front page. LOL
- oyourmom, on 10/22/2007, -16/+36No matter what type of man he was he was still a human being and deserves some dignity, at least some italic text saying the years hes been alive.
- DBCA, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21This is a sad day for all the people who are Saddam Hussein.
- 5m0k3, on 10/22/2007, -5/+25This has got to be one of the fastest dugg articles in the history of digg; especially considering that it is not even on the front page yet. Excellent news indeed
- G-RaZoR, on 10/22/2007, -33/+52Well this completes my New Years Resolution for 2006.
- Skitzzo, on 11/06/2007, -25/+43It is being reported by two different Arab TV stations (and on CNN). He's dead and its about damn time.
- shadow22, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21Wasn't the video a PPV event?
