A fitting epitaph by Mohammed at Iraq the Model:
"On this day as we celebrate justice we shall not forget to pray for blessings for the souls of the dictator’s victims and we shall not forget to thank our brothers in America and the rest of the coalition nations who helped us and are still helping us in our struggle to build the new free and democratic Iraq."
Read it all.
Tonight’s the night, roughly between 8:30 and 9:00 p.m. CST. The mass murderer joins his rapacious sons in hell. Hangman, set your knot.
UPDATE It’s over. Happened close to 9 p.m. CST, near as I can figure out from the various reports, including this one. Good riddance. Through the wonder (?) of the Internet, here’s a (not especially gruesome) cell phone video of Sammy taking the fall. Youtube may not leave it up too long. It showed that the knot didn’t seem to be set too close to his left ear, as if maybe the executioner wasn’t too concerned about breaking his neck quickly. But the last scene suggests, by the tilt of his head, that it worked correctly after all. So he got off easier than some of his victims.
