Stray agent Saddam had to be terminated by the masters. Why so much fuss over disposal of a used condom? On eid the gutters are anyways filled with blood and refuse....

A friend of mine sed that saddam was the ``sacrificial goat``, citing the fact that he was hanged deliberately near eid-ul-adha.

Footnote: She (Queen of Sheba) said, ’When kings enter a city, they lay waste to it and make its mightiest inhabitants the most abased. That is what they too will do.’ (Al-Quran 27:34)

Just noticed the footnote. Thanks. How true it is.

Some commentators have said that the taunting was staged and filmed deliberately by the Americans to make Saddam break down in his last moments, to show him as a coward in the end. There is no other way the cellphone video ended up on all major networks within an hour of the execution.

If that is true, how wrong they were. Saddam went down in the same manner glaring at his tormentors and taunting them back as he had done at the judges and witnesses during his trial, and saying the same things he had been saying all along e.g. Palestine belongs to Arabs. Whatever Saddam was, he was certainly a Mard-e-Momin in courage.

On an aside, the execution of 148 Shias in Al-Dujail had been carried out after a court trial, and witness testimonies, just as was Saddam`s execution. Were both kangaroo courts? Or just one of the two? If yes, which one?

Cheers.

Re: # 191

I fail to see the ``conspiracy`` part in your abridged version. Any idiot with IQ equal to the girth of ashria roy (in cms) knows this.

Re: # 180 soycause

There is a a litmus test. Ask yourself this question:

``From what source did I hear about Siastani`s approval for murder of Sadam on Eid day?``

ok..the paki version of it: The plan is to get an arab shia state setup in the ME as a dagger pointed to the hearts of the saudis...and the whole iraqi shia taking marching orders from iran is overblown..

of course, there`s always the Michael Savage theory..he was executed ASAP because people didn`t want him spilling secrets about his dealings with US/EU politicians...

Urstruly: I think you are slowing down in your old age. You need to come up with some exciting new models for your conspiracy theories. Otherwise Masadi will grab the market as surely as Toyota beat Ford.

Here is some brainstorming to get you started:

1. 9/11 planes were piloted by little green men from a planet far, far away. The green color confused everyone and they thought it was muslims. Camp Gitmo is a secret CIA rocket launching station used to track incoming space aliens.

2. Saddam Hussein lives. The guy they pulled out of the spider hole was one of those Saddam lookalikes that he used to have to confuse would-be assassins. The real Saddam runs a casino in fallujah right under the nose of the Iraqi government.

3. Saddam never existed. He is a creation of the CIA. After all, how could simple arabs be expected to create all those huge Saddam statues? (this would of course be along the same lines as the ``argument`` presented by 9/11 conspiracy theorists that no muslim could be expected to have the skill necessary to fly a plane into a building, and would have missed it by a mile.

4. The Saddam in that video was actually a hollywood actor, since no proud arab would go to his death wearing a western-style coat.

Of course, the above dont compare with the feats of imagination expected from a PhD (Conspiracy Theories) like yourself...

Most of them already have a job - leading an easy life and fooling the world full time.

Re: # 184

Thank you - but no thanks. Unfortunately my attention span can only accomodate those conspiracy theories that take 3 lines or less to describe.
