Saddam Hussein Watch: Saddam’s Execution Video UNCUT
This video image released by Iraqi state television shows Saddam Hussein being led to the gallows by guards wearing ski masks moments before his execution Saturday Dec. 30. 2006. Clutching a Quran and refusing a hood, Saddam Hussein went to the gallows before sunrise Saturday, executed by vengeful countrymen after a quarter-century of remorseless brutality that killed countless thousands and led Iraq into disastrous wars against the United States and Iran.
Hot Air has the UNCUT execution video via Rusty and Vinnie.
Flap now has the video which I will embed here (graphic warning – not for children):
Obviously this wasn’t shot by the official Iraqi cameraman: he was up on the platform with Saddam and using a real lens, not a cell phone. This probably was taken by one of the Shiite witnesses, who passed it along to the Sadrists for dissemination on the web.
I don’t know whose bright idea it was to let three punks in leather jackets and balaclavas take care of business instead of the Iraqi army, but the more I watch it, the more it looks like a hit instead of a state execution.
Telegraph: Saddam’s end: tormented as his death loomed
Read it all for a description of Saddam’s last moments alive.
Frankly, Flap could care less.
Good Riddance to this POS.
