Person Called Saddam Shows Fear
"Ali Al Massedy, the official Iraqi videographer who filmed Saddam's final moments at close range, said the despot was a picture of dread as the noose slipped around his neck.
"I saw fear, he was afraid," Mr Al Massedy said minutes after returning from the execution."
Person Called Saddam Defiant to the End
"In a final moment of defiance, the deposed Iraqi president refused a hood to cover his eyes.
By several accounts, Saddam was calm but scornful of his captors, engaging in a give-and-take with the crowd gathered to watch him die and insisting he was Iraq's saviour, not its tyrant and scourge.
One witness, national security adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie, told The New York Times one of the Iraqi guards shouted at Saddam: "You have destroyed us. You have killed us. You have made us live in destitution."
"I have saved you from destitution and misery and destroyed your enemies, the Persians and Americans," Saddam responded, al-Rubaie told the Times.
"God damn you," the guard said.
"God damn you," responded Saddam."
Sunnis Vow Revenge
"The Persians have killed him. I can't believe it. By God, we will take revenge," said a man from the northern city of Mosul, using a term employed by some Sunnis to describe Shi'ites who share their faith with non-Arab Persian-speaking Iran.
"All we can do now is take it out against the Americans and the government," said another mourner who paused by the tomb in a marble-floored mosque hall in Awja, near the city of Tikrit. A portrait of a smiling Saddam wearing his trademark fedora hat was propped up in a chair."
No Sign of Sunni Revenge
"There was no sign of a feared Sunni uprising in retaliation for the execution, and the bloodshed from civil warfare was not far off the daily average -- 92 from bombings and death squads."
Whether there will be a uptick in resistance attacks on americans or not because of the Saddam stage play is any body's guess. Following a rigged trial with a hurry -up show execution and midnight burial on the Muslim holy day of Eid seems to be more provocation, however. For those inclined to widen this conflict this would be a perfect opportunity to pull a false flag event and blame the grieving mourners.

I promise I'm going to properly reply to this entry, as I found the inconsistencies in the story puzzling, but for now, sorry. You're it.
What's with the contradictions? He was fearful; he was defiant. Iraqis are angry; Iraqis are relieved. My fear is retaliation after the Washington assholes send 40,000 more troops into the black hole. It's not that we can't get out of Iraq; it's that we won't in our hubris and stubbornness.
Well I don't think I'll make it a blog entry per se but I'll play along...

"This is so close to the Central American term "People of the Serpent". Africa is another continent awash with the legend of the serpent race. For Annunaki, Annetoti, Nagas, Dravidians, and so on, read Chitauri."

I looked it up on the apple store and it says to hold down and tap the picture from via email/ internet and then it will give me the option to save it. But when ever i do that it either magnifies the picture or it copies the picture. Is there a new way to do it with the iphone 3g s?
