A new mass grave has been found in Iraq, this one with toddler’s clutching toys. Now, look at this quote pointed out by Charles Johnson:
Mr Kehoe said that work to uncover graves around Iraq, where about 300,000 people are thought to have been killed during Saddam Hussein’s regime, was slow as experienced European investigators were not taking part.
The Europeans, he said, were staying away as the evidence might be used eventually to put Saddam Hussein to death.
Anyone who could see what Saddam has done and doesn’t fantasize about him being beaten to death with a hammer is inhuman. It seems to me like whole parts of the “civilized world” has just lost it.
As for Saddam’s execution, anyone have any idea how it might be done? It better not be lethal injection; though nothing can equal Saddam’s crimes, the execution should have some brutality to it. I’d settle for firing squad, but I’d rather it be the old-fashioned hang by the neck until dead. There would be something poetic about a man who brutally ruled an entire nation, building himself countless palaces, finally reduced to a limp body hanging from a rope, his only movements dictated by the wind.
Well, morbid and poetic. Hey, I’m mad; you want to make something of it!
first!
Let every Iraqi stick him with a pin.
I’m sure that a lottery could be held in Iraq to drive the bulldozer in some uncharted part of the country to bury the residue and forget where and who it was.
Electric shaock to the scrotum sounds like a good start to me.
>
It was good enough for Eichman.
people should be givin tomatos or something to throw at him while hes hanging as well.
How about we bring back the crow’s nest? Hang him in a cage where he can’t move, and deny him food and water until he dies.
Alternately, we could have some fun with a hypobaric chamber.
String ‘im up, It’ll teach ’em a lesson.
Saddam had someone killed by releasing a pack of starved dogs on the guy.
Sounds like a plan.
S.M.I.T.E his ass.
Funny that the Euros wouldn’t want him put to death. I’d think they want to erase as much evidence of the Food for Oil scandal as possible. He is a material witness!
Anyway, firing squad is good. With some exceptionally poor marksmen.
dr. dna has the plan…starved dogs…it still wouldn’t make up for what he did to the Kurds but at least he would know a lot of pain while dying…
Bury him up to his ass in a pig sty and turn loose the starving pigs. Film for posterity and dispose of the pigs as toxic waste afterwards.
As suggested by the movie Hannibal.

I’m always up for a good ol’ fashioned “drawn & quartered”. I’m a firm believer that seeing yourself disembowled can make you change your ways.
Strip him naked, smear him with honey, and tie him spread-eagled on a fire-ant mound.
Give Europeans what they want, death is too good for him even at the end of any amount of torture. Host an Iraqi lottery, use money from ticket sales for rebuilding Iraq, winner gets Saddam alone for 24 to 48 hours (depending on how close to death he is), any brand of torture goes. Sentence him to one million+ life sentences to be served consecutively at Bitch Island where any and all tortures he performed or had others perform on innocents will be endured by Saddam throughout the duration of his life. (see bitchisland.com if you’re over 18) Heck. Turn it into a 24 hr reality show…”Saddam Hussein, pony boy”.
Frank, I was stationed in Turkey in 1980. Right before our Thanksgiving holiday, a local terrorist group shot and killed one of our Security Policemen. Can’t remember the details but it was either 6 or 7 of them caught, tried, and executed. This took 3 months. I love swift justice. If this happened in the US of A, they would still be on death row. Anyway, in most Islamic countries, the method of execution is “hanging until dead”.

There are times when I wish that the GI that made the capture had just tossed a grenade in the hole and sat on the lid.
Personally, I’d vote for flaying, but John’s fire ants idea has promise…..
Either way, I’d also vote for a global satellite TV link……..
Is that platic shredder he used still around?
Feet first, an inch per minute.
Although I normally disapprove of stoning, it is an effective team execution.
Wrap saddam in pork chops, then turn
some wild animal loose on him.
Preferably a hideous beast driven insane
by hunger…like Michael Moore.
my vote is for the plastic shreader.
That was poetic Frank, good job.
Something along the lines of walking the plank, blind folded. But not into water…on to land. Then we he stands up and starts to shout “ha, srew you infide..” Drop a large pile of rocks on him…Wile E Coyote style.
Well it’s about time to
drag out the old plastic
shredding machine that Saddam’s
boys used on special victims.
If the old boys liked you, they
shredded you head first (relatively
quick death). But if they did not
like you, then it was feet first
and slooooowwwwly.
I guess with papa, it would definitely
be feet first. maybe we could arrange
a few power black-outs at critical
points along the way.
You could even have that blood thirsty
arab media outlet make and distribute
a video.
HAAHAAAAHAAHEEHEEEHOOHOO!!!!
lock him in a room with a hungry michael moore
OR
sprinkle sugar on him, tie him down, and then release a horde of fire ants at him to eat away slowly.
I think we should build an electric chair on a platform in a stadium. In front of every seat, mount a small hand cranked generator. It would take all the little generators spun at high speed to produce a lethal amount of power. Also, have a doctor next to the chair and give him control over the big billboard so he can flash “Slower, Slower” or “Faster, Faster” depending on how “lively” the guest of honor is. We could even organize a tour of all the stadiums, sell tickets, hold day long events, and even offer Pay-Per-Views. That way everyone can help “kill him a little”.
Anybody else here seen Braveheart? Since Hussein probably wouldn’t shout “Freedom!” a la Mel Gibson, maybe we could finally find out what all those shiny metal toys were good for…
Tie him down in a pig sty; don’t feed the pigs until they are done.
Chemical weapons is the only way to go. Something old, slow and painful. But it can’t end there. You inject him with Antropine and 2 pam cloride. Maybe a CANA. These are what the US military use to protect soldiers from biological and chemical weapons. But you will still feel the effects of the weapons. Plus the drugs speed up your heart until it’s almost ready to explode, and the needles are 3-4 inches long and can pierce a piece of 4×4 wood.
I dont ever want to know the agonizing pain that a blister agent can cause (creates OPEN blisters on any affected part of your skin).
Plus death is a release. Allow it too soon and your doing your victim a favor. If you keep them alive, you can continually inflict the pain they have inflicted on others. Keeping Saddam alive until he dies naturally. Torturing him every second of everyday until then. That’s justice.
Have him watch the collected speeches of John Kerry?
See how many 1mm holes you can drill in his skull?
Or, anything he or his sons did to someone else. The dogs or shredder sound cool.
Hang him high. After which I say we take a cue from Achilles: tie his corpse to the back of a humvee and drag it around Bagdad until his body is unrecognizable for all the terrorists to see. Feed what’s left to the dogs and/or pigs.
There’s always of the option of stoning. Have everyone who had a family-member die under Saddam’s brutal treatment pick a 5-pound stone. Let them line up.
My prediction is, the pile will be thirty feet high before they’re done.
It would be even better if his moaning and pleading would last all night, from the bottom of the pile.
Sheeeesh! Some of you are really twisted!
I think something with an ironic twist to it: Lock him in a cage with some hungry, rabid weasels. Weld door shut. No Pay-per-View; the $750M they found in the hole with him should cover it, at least for all the Middle East to see anyway. Live.
Frank,
My roomate’s idea is that he is tied up spread-eagle on a vertical frame, and that all the citizens in Iraq and the US get 1 free kick.
My idea? I’d just settle for a good, old-fasioned televised hanging.
Despite the many twisted ways which he probably SHOULD meet his demise, I have a slightly different idea.
In the January election in Iraq, put another issue on the ballot for the Iraqi people:
How should Saddam die?
Can you imagine the irony of a dictator’s fate being decided by his own people?
OR
Cut off his head, and put it on life support ala Futurama style, and place it on display at the new Iraqi Museum of Natural History. Force him to listen to every single version of American patriotic songs that can be found, 24/7. Especially the Jimi Hendrix version of the Star Spangled Banner, I bet a dictator like him would hate that. Leave him on display for all time.
building himself countless palaces, finally reduced to a limp body hanging from a rope, his only movements dictated by the wind.
Oh… we’re talking about Saddam. For a minute there, I thought we were talking about John Kerry’s moral character after it faced off with his desire for power.
Break every bone in his body with an iron wheel, thread his shattered limbs through the spokes of the wheel, and feed him to wild boars.
Strap him down and skin him alive – over the course of a month or so. You could start with his . . . well, use your own imagination.l
The hanging idea doesn’t sound bad at all but I think there should be a little more to it. Back in the old days of the west they went to hang this one guy who had lost an arm and he did a lot of eating while waiting to be hung. When they finally hung him the unequal weight distribution caused his head to rip right off as soon as he was dropped. Saddam tortured and killed a lot of people so I think they should cut off an arm, leg, or both then hang him so that his head rips right off when it happens
Hang ’em high. Also, very nice and poetic description of the wind and his movements, Frank.
Or firing squad, with the weapons being shotguns loaded with birdshot, being fired from 50 yards away.
One thing to think about, people: while it may make you feel good for a second to think of all the horrible things that could be done to him as punishment, when the chips are down, if you still feel that way, then you are sinking to the level of him, his sons, and his cronies. Torture isn’t justice. Death is the ultimate punishment, and for someone like him, it would be the start of an eternity of punishment. I’m sure you all already know this, I just felt like saying it.
You have to get psychological on his ass… first, you lock him in a concrete room. Something about 5 by 5 ought to work. Flood the room leaving only enough room for him to breathe and let him sit there for about 6 to 8 hours at a time. Repeat occasionally at irregular intervals. Then, drain the room, let him dry out a bit, and feed him nothing but cold coffee (decaf) and stale sour cream and cheddar Ruffles for two days. Follow this with 48 hours of Scotland the Brave, as played on the pipes at 125 decibles. After all of this, convince him he’s being given a lethal injection, when it’s only water. Then, have a firing squad shoot blanks. Finally, drag him very slowly across all of Iraq, about 15 mph should do it. Stop to let him rest periodically. I think that’ll do it.
Well lets see. Slowly sking him with a dull rusty knife. for every inch skinned a 30 second dunk on a bath tub of salt water.
Then when he gets used to that take a very thin and narrow glass tube and insert it in to his penis. Once it is all the way in tap the penis lightly.
Continue with the skinning process. Is he’s still somehow alive by then, pound AK-47 cases in to the knees to keep him from escaping.
By now he should be weary. Give him time to rest give him plenty to drink and eat. Waiting 7 days start over. Continue for 12 months. If he lives that long then take him out and shoot him.
I say let him go. Just release him. Of course, you publicize the time and place, preferably in the Basra or Kurdish regions, then just let nature take its course.
The only question I really have is, “Will they be selling pieces of Saddam on Ebay?”
Veeshir and Turkeyhead both have excellent ideas. Too bad America will never allow that to happen.
What we may do, however, is try him and put him to death by hanging.
Firing squad – while effective, is a soldier’s death. Hanging is a criminal’s death. The body belongs in an unmarked grave outside a prison.
I agree that a firing squad is too good for him, however I also believe that to be true of hanging.
Let’ just go with a good old fashion Middle-Eastern beheading. No video, no cameras, just a few Mullahs to certify that the bastard was executed. Then cremate the body and pour the ashes into one of the opened mass graves just before you cover it up (don’t tell anyone which one it is).
This way there’s no pictures or body to become an icon for the dead-enders still left. His legacy will end “not with a bang, but with a whimper.”
Semtex enema.
(hand out umbrellas)
First off, some of you should maybe seek psychiatric help. You’re putting too much thought into this (though funny, I admit).
Trivia Time: Does anyone remember the name of the famous evil dictator who was exicuted in the early 90’s, and then dragged through the streets for everyone to spit on? Can’t seem to remember. Thanks.
How about crushing? Start with the fingers and toes, one at a time with a sledgehammer. Work your way in from the outside, finishing him off with a series of baton blows to the head over a couple of days. Have a crack team of physicians there to make sure that he doesn’t die prematurely.
After his death, wrap him in pigskin and entomb him in 50 tons of concrete. Drop said block of concrete into the ocean with a special announcement that all terrorists will receive the same treatment… no 72 Virgins for the unclean.
just a thought…..
Cut off his head with a butter-knife. Or did somebody already say that?
Iraq has brought back the death penalty for this case. And it is death by hanging. Hopefully it will be in the the public square, like Bahgdad.
Just inject him with the Ebola virus and let nature take its course.
You people have no imagination. Here’s how you do it:
Step 1: Take palm-sander, sand off the vast majority of his skin.
Step 2: Apply concrete shoes.
Step 3: Drop into a vat of vinegar(I would say lemon juice, but vinegar is clear, so the cameras will get a better shot).
There, isn’t that about right? If that fails, the old D+Q will do just fine, or if you’re looking for something more poetic, fling him off the roof of his tallest palace.
Just hang the bastard, and then feed his body to pigs. Good riddance.
I’ve come up with the most inhumanly cruel punishment for him, but I feel ill even thinking about it, so I won’t repeat it here.
Ugh.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot – the correct place to bury him is in one of the mass graves he created.
I wouldn’t be so kind as too let him die.
Drag him naked behind a jeep and then dump him into raw sewage. Make him stand in a box that is about 3’x3′ wide and about a foot too short after beating his feet with a billy club. Stick fingers and toes into liquid nitro and them make him watch as they were broken off. Alternately, you could freeze his feet into a block of ice to develop frostbite.
I do like the psychological approach as an add on. Maybe have the firing squad use instantaneous tranq darts so that you can shoot him every day and he’ll always wonder when he finally get’s release from his own private Hades.
Of course, turkeyhead is right. If any of us would ever actually do it, we would need psych help ourselves. But it is fun to imagine!
Alsadius: If you’re really into flinging him…Your best bet is a trebuchet. They were usually used to fling rocks and metal balls. Or diplomats.
Hmm, nobody has mentioned impalement…that’s a very slow and painful way to die.
Two thoughts- We could bring back crucifiction but not let him raise up on the third day. But a better idea is we could give him to Saudi Arabia and let THEM torture him, since its not our style in America
One bullet, back of the head, no fanfare, unmarked grave. A thugs death for a thug.
Someone already proposed my favorite. Put him into a little cage and suspend it above a square in Baghdad. Let his supporters or misguided “humanists” throw him food & water, it would protract his punishment.
how about instead of pigs eating him out of the sty…you put him in a barrell of self tanner and sick kerry on him. well, the only drawback of that would be it would be kerry getting to do the honors. I think a better idea would be to soak him in vodka and lock him in a rehab center. No offense to any recovering alchoholics out there ok.
My first inclination is also to provide Saddam with a slow agonizing death. After a bit of thought maybe it isn’t worth the time or expense. The creep is such a waste of energy that it might be better to get it over with and get him out of the way. BUT If it were to be done slow, I’m all for the fire ant idea. Either way something needs to be sooner than later.
“Stomp him, tattoo him, hang him, and then kill him!” May work, but he might get away by doing a dance ala Pee Wee’s Big Adventure.
Seriously, here’s my suggestion.
Take one dictator.
Stake to ground.
Shove slivers of pine under fingernails.
Light them.
Next, make large incision in abdominal wall, taking care not to cut any organs.
Now, with utmost care, remove organs, showing them to him if so desired, and place gently on ground beside him.
Fill body cavity with rocks.
Leave Mr. Nice Guy for the insects and critters, making sure to step on organs as you walk away.
Live burial, the coffin stood on end, head downward, filled to a depth of about eighteen inches with liquefied pigshit.
Damn People!
How ’bout they just kill Saddam, cremate the body & then set about erasing his very memory from history. I am quite sure Alla will take care of the rest.
Bless Y’alls hearts but geez you people scare me sometimes!
Drown and revive daily till the end of his natural life. Sell tickets to pay for it.
