Chuck Berry tune in honour of Saddam Hussein. Too bad Saddam isn’t much of a rock fan.

He’s more into swing.

      Hang down your head, Saddam Hussein

      “KATY, TEXAS — While Kamel Fotouh makes plans to build a mosque on 11 acres of pasture here, neighbor Craig A. Baker is making plans of his own — plans to hold pig races.

      Baker figures he’ll need a tent, souvenirs and a track for the pigs to race on, all in full view of the Muslims next door, for whom pigs are forbidden as food.
      As a bonus, Baker will host the competition on Friday — a Muslim holy day.”

      The background is a bad business deal and the imam calling the landowner a liar at a public meeting.

    1. I was out to dinner tonight with a mate over from Londonistan and a close friend who also happens to be a moonbat.

      She (moonbat)asked me what I thought of Saddam getting the death penalty.

      I laughed out loud and said it couldn’t happen to a more deserving tyrant.

      She felt that he should just be locked up and left to rot, rather than given the death penalty.

      Mate from the UK agreed he should be hanged.

      I also pointed out to moonbat friend (I do love her dearly, but we should never ever discuss politics) that Saddam did after all gas the Kurds, he also had a lovely tendency of torturing his subjets, and if the torture wasn’t eliciting the desired responses, he would bring in family members to torture instead. All of this documented faithfully by Amnesty, of course.

      She brought up Usay and the other one, telling me that they were worse than Saddam.

      Shot that one down, too, by reminding her that Saddam knew exactly what was going on.

      Then I got asked “But what about the Iraqi people, what do they think of all this?”

      Hahaha! The Iraqi people hate his guts. They just want to get on with their lives and want him dead and gone.

      We agreed not to touch the subject of David Hicks lol.

      Personally, I don’t watch islamic porn, and I don’t know if I would watch him swing, but I still reckon it’s been a long time coming and 30 days is still too long away.

    1. 185600: I think you might be pleasantly surprised by what’s considered BBQ in the American south, southwest and midwest.

      Takes all day to cook a chunk. Gets a nice “smoke ring” in the meat. Have a flavor and tenderness to die for. Might be the same thing where you’re at, but the closest we get where I’m at is a quick few minutes on a grill and maybe a hint of chicory or mesquite.

      From a soldier’s perspective, shooting is preferred, as a “soldier’s death”.  Symbolically, hanging is for criminals.

      Although dead is dead, I prefer the symbolism; Hussein is no soldier.  Hang him.

    1. TRJ

      I can appreciate your attention to symbolism.  I think the point was you have to wait to hang him while you can shoot him now.  Actually, both methods are probably to good for him.  He needs to die a long, slow and painful death.  Burned alive might fit the bill.  Skinned alive works also.  Frankly, I would use some of the same happy juice he used on the Kurds.  But that is just me.  But that would be an “eye for an eye”.  Exactly.

      That way everyone can have a bash at him.

      Of course, it’s probably rather barbaric, but it’s cultural and would make great television.
