Bush: Hussein could have been hanged in a "more dignified way", quote.

[Bluebear]

Yes, because nothing says dignity more than taking someone's life, you monkey.

====

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - President Bush said Saddam Hussein could have been hanged in a "more dignified way" and one his closest Arab allies said on Friday a video of Shi'ite officials taunting him on the gallows was "barbaric." ..."I wish, obviously, that the proceedings had ... gone in a more dignified way. But nevertheless, he was given justice," said Bush.

6. Oh, Dear Lord, you are right.....bad form.

3. Yes, he could have been wearing a dinner jacket.

Actually, for some reason hanging has always been though to be undignified. I think it is because the dude usually shits himself. The dignified means of execution is supposed to be the firing squad. Go figure.

9. Didn't he request a firing squad?

I seem to remember that he asked to be shot like a
soldier rather than hanged as a common criminal.

5. I guess Bush would have preferred something more dignified like the way our troops have died.

Blasted off their Humvees by a road side bomb, thrown down in the dirt at the side of the road, and bleeding to death.

Yeah, that's dignified.

Would SOMEBODY please get this crazy man out of the White House?!?!?!?!?!

10. "It would have been preferable...

if he had begged ' Pwease, pwease don't kill me,' the President said, "so I could mock him."
