“He just gave up,” said Mowaffak al-Rubaie, Iraq’s national security adviser. “We were astonished. It was strange. He just gave up.” He added: “Saddam Hussein is gone. All Iraqis will look to the future after the end of this era.”
And the most chilling part of all, after you get over the size of that noose, is the reaction of some here in America. Gateway Pundit has a roundup that will turn your stomach. It begins:
If Ever You Needed Proof of American Leftist Insanity- Look Now!
There is an enemy in America- Powerful -Shrill- Self-Hating - It has never been more obvious, it has never been more open... than it is today- mourning Saddam!
It is not a fringe element.
It is not a minority.
It is the voice of today's American Left.
Links and quotes that are even more shocking in their ignorance than the visuals of Saddam's hanging. Check them all out.
Grainy and graphic. Not exactly professional quality. Warning, this is the whole hanging video taken with a cellphone. (Hat tip: Flopping Aces):
Other video (Hat tip Gateway Pundit):
HotAir also has a video clip from FOX News of his hanging.
FOX News released video later today from a different angle.
BBC- Iraqi state TV showed images of Saddam Hussein going to the gallows before dawn in a building his intelligence services once used for executions.
