Kuwaiti Businessman Wants Saddam’s Rope

Al Arabiya is reporting that a Kuwaiti businessman offered any amount in order to buy the rope that hanged Saddam Hussein. The businessman was told that he has to negotiate with the person who now owns the rope: Muqtada Sadr!

This has got to be a rumor, because it has such a definite political point. Some news stories in the US are reporting that people in the room at the time taunted Saddam Hussein with the name of Moqtada al-Sadr (the son, not the father).

Why on God’s green earth was that sick, fat, fanatic asshole Al-Sadr not sent to the gallows with Saddaam is beyond me.

That Sadr dirtbag has just as much blood on his hands as Saddaam.

He should’ve been executed as well!

Anger on the ‘Arab street’ doesn’t mean shit to me anymore. I stopped giving a shit about the Arab street after I watched Palestinians celebrating 9/11, the Danish Cartoon Intifada and the Pope Benedict Riots…so, yeah, I don’t really give a shit what Arabs are complaining about these days…it’s something new every five minutes.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, the UTTER SILENCE by Arabs over the Arab on Arab violence in Iraq. It’s as if no one gives a shit that Iraqi’s are dying because it’s not the Evil Occupiers that are killing them. So F***ING insane

BTW - I want Saddam’s tighty whities that he’s wearing in that one picture of him ironing his pants. Does al-Sadr have those as well?

And I just finished watching an amazing History Channel documentary on Saddam’s use of chemical weapons on the Iraninas and the Kurds. It was horrific. I wish somehow that all Arabs can watch what I have just seen about the man that they’re bitching and moaning about being executed…

“That Sadr dirtbag has just as much blood on his hands as Saddaam.”

Nowhere near, not even 1%.

If he does become the dictator of Iraq, then he may compete with Saddam for numbers killed and maimed.

I suspect that the largest death toll in Saddam’s reign was not from the outright butchery, but from the criminal neglect of the water and sewage systems, which must have caused a great many deaths of small children. But this is just a guess.

Maybe one day the rope will be available for auction at Sotherbys or something.

He won’t live long Anon. If he steps away from the government again he is a dead man.

Dead man walking! Dead man walking:)

Pharaoh -

Please tell me that it’s a joke. That Sadr really doesn’t own the rope!

I can’t believe how powerful that fat ugly thug has become. Starting from the beginning when we know he had the pro Western Al Khoei murdered in broad daylight and back then the Americans could have taken him out with relatively little problems. Now he’s an untouchable thug who is running the political process through fear and intimidation.

AMAZING HOW FAR IRAQ HAS DIGRESSED!

It is the resp of Iraqi Army + Police + Coalition to protect the Iraqi population including “Shia majority markets”. .

If they cannot do it. .then people like Muqtada rise up to do that. ..Muqtada is preventing shia population from sunni terrorism ..

If ther was no Mehdi Army. . shia of iraq would have vanished. (God Not Willing)

Anonymous, you may be right. But WHY can’t the Iraqi Army and police protect shia neighborhoods? Iraq is over 60% shia, and shia control the government.

Iraq is the way it is because that’s the way people like al-Sadr want it to be.

Craig. .

If you want to know WHY the government is failed to control violence. . why Iraqi army failed .. then please read Jalal Talibani’s criticism on ISG report. . .he uses the word “handcuffed”..

Earlier, in Jan 2006, another Iraqi official said VIA CNN that “Americans are handcuffing us on the issues of dealing with insurgents”.. .

It takes a rare genius to make a martyr out of someone like Saddam. That’s George Bush, our bright little boy.

Comment by SRC — January 4, 2007 @ 5:32 pm
Anonymous, no offense, but it is absurd to think that the US does NOT want the Iraqi government to step up to the plate. I can’t believe any rational person would believe that. It’s counter-intuitive. We lose American troops every single day to the Sunni insurgency. Why on EARTH would we NOT want some help, eh? You think we like capturing insurgent safe havens and turning over the area to the Iraqi police, only to have the insurgents come back as soon as we leave, while the so-called police do nothing?

Before the American invasion, the Iraqis lived in constant terror under Saddam Hussein’s boot, now, they live in constant terror of sectarian violence. Despite its flaws, the American invasion created conditions for the restauration of law and order in Iraq.

The immediate task of the Iraqis is to create or restore a framework of order in which fruitful intercourse between the various factions within it can take place. This task cannot be accomplished by outsiders.

Are the Iraqis able and willing to take on this challenge?

The rope have to be preserved to be used later for other Arabic Leaders.

Comment by Téméraire — January 5, 2007 @ 12:20 pm
The silencing of the Bush proxy and underling, Saddam, was just a passion play to slake the misdirected bloodlust of the befuddled and unthinking herd animals.

It’s George W. Bush that should have been executed for high treason and war crimes. That pig deserves the death penalty again and again. Unfortunately no vengeance is sufficient compensation for the crimes.

You heard me. It’s the truth.
