BREITBART.COM - White House Won’t Condemn Saddam Taunts

He said Iraqis had raised questions about “comments made by people in the room” during the final minutes before the execution and are conducting an investigation into tape made on a cell phone that got out.

“Clearly they didn’t approve of that,” McCormack said.

Iraqi state television broadcast an official video of Saturday’s execution. The video had no audio and never showed Saddam’s actual death. But a leaked cell phone video showed the deposed leader being jeered in his final moments, with witnesses shouting “Go to hell!” before he dropped through the gallows floor and died.

The censors state managers of the “news” hate it when they lose their gatekeeping monopoly.

That said, this touching concern for a duly-convicted mass murderer revolts me far more than anything done to make Saddam’s last moments about one one-thousandth less horrifying than those he inflicted on his own victims.

    The whole spectacle was barbaric. Bush is a tough guy 5,000 miles away, but when it came down to crunch time and to serve their country in ‘Nam, they both turned out to be quivering pussies. Two more years, then good riddance.

    I’m sorry, but could anybody who speaks this guy’s language translate the above into English and see if it makes any more sense that way?

    Thanks.

    Wipe the froth from around your mouth and try to calm down. Now exactly who are they? Bush 1 and Bush 2? Bush and Saddam? Bush and Clinton?

    Oh and as for being the whole spectacle being barbaric, I hope that is the way Saddam saw it as well.

    Excuse me, but I believe that GWH Bush was a naval carrier pilot, arguably the most dangerous job in the world, who was shot down in WW2 in defense of his country.

    You call this guy a “quivering ().” You’ll wind up with a knife up your ass right to your throat. And it will be another carrier pilot who guts you.

    Excuse me, but I believe that GWH Bush was a naval carrier pilot(…)

    And they get a little tetchy if you call them carrier pilots. Naval aviator, please.

    Fighter jocks, when I was in. They used to practice carrier landings in the O-club. Push 2 or 3 tables together, dowse with beer, run and belly flop.
