Anyone see this guy's interview on CNN? It looks like he was about to cry when talking about saddams execution.
It looks like they became good friends.

A colonel told Ellis: "Saddam Hussein cannot die in U.S. custody. You do whatever you have to do to keep him alive," the newspaper reported.
"That was my job: to keep him alive and healthy so they could kill him at a later date," said Ellis, 56, an operating room nurse at St. Joseph Health Center in St. Charles, Missouri.
"I knew all along what they were going to do. This went against my grain as a nurse, but as a soldier -- well, that was my job," said Ellis.
During his tenure at the prison, Ellis said that he checked in on Saddam regularly and got to know him.
When Saddam was allowed outside for a short time, he fed birds bits of bread that he had saved from his meals and watered some weeds.

Well, the poster is in his box of fear that liberals and Eddie preach and trick people with, so what else is he supposed to think? Remember when the liberals scared us all into thinking the Republicans would steal the 2006 election? That was a good one.
I'm meeting people in person all talking about how great it is that he was hung, passing the video along. Justice was not done, he did not even have a fair trial. It was as scripted as a hollywood movie. How is having a corrupt court system good for iraqis? we should be sad that the US backed court system in iraq is so corrupt, as corrupt now as it was under hussein, and people cheer "justice was done!"

Figures the only thing muslims can do right is kill someone real quickly.
Well to start off with, replacing a judge in the middle of a trial. Then...

Didnt they kill the judges family, which is why he was replaced?
Sadamm and his lawyers intentionally made that trial into a circus. He got what was fair, trust me.

He was replaced because they said that he was "too soft" on hussein. well that was one of the reasons anyway.
I'd like to trust you my friend, but from what I can see, the facts say otherwise. This according to human rights watch.
Yeah, another organization 100% free of agenda or bias. Like any other organization run by humans. You trust the UN too, don't you?

If revenge is the basis for this new iraq, I don't see how things will ever get better.
I never said let him off, but the only moral of this story that I can see now is that you can commit genocide you get hung, unless you are an american president.
is it not sad that they could not even find him guilty of the mass graves? not that the 148 dead was a small number. why cut it short? not like killing him now was gonna end the killing.
im not a bush fan but saying he commited genocide is just dumb
How about mass killing? major destruction of innocent lives? I dunno, what else do you wanna call so many thousands of innocent people lost on his orders?
and any exucse about how America does not target innocent lives does not mean much, what does one expect to happen when dropping a 5 ton bomb? or chemical weapons on villages? just label them as a casualty of war so you may sleep better.
All very good points. (with typo corrections).:)

hehe, thanks. very kind of you.
I noticed them after but was too lazy for corrections. I figured my point would still be made.
Of course it is genocide and they know it.

gen·o·cide
the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.
Bush is not out to exterminate arabs. He's interested in the oil on top of which the arabs live. A lot of arabs may have died, but his intentions were to kill no more arabs than is necessary to take control. On the other hand, Saddam was interested in exterminating the kurds because he saw all kurds as the enemy. Bush = mass murder Saddam = genocide

did the iraqis and afghanis have thick armor? did the iraqi military even put up a fight? so there is no reason to use something that poisons the land and ppl

Well that's something that I find so interesting, such a bad guy found what seems like some sorta peace when he faced his own mortality.
nevertheless, if you want to talk about prevention, well america could've prevented all of this if it did'nt back hussein in the first place way back when.
The inspectors also said that he did'nt have WMDs so are we still going on about the inspectors? was this war really about WMDs anyway? even if it took another 10years for more inspectors, so be it, Iraq was not such a great threat that an invasion was a must at that point in time.
