Chemical Ali will hang real soon now |
2007-10-19 |
BAGHDAD - The Iraqi government said on Thursday that the execution of Saddam Hussein’s notorious hatchet man “Chemical Ali”, which has been delayed for weeks due to Muslim holidays and legal hitches, will happen “in the coming days.” Asked in a rare appearance at the White House whether Ali Hassan al-Majid would be hanged soon for genocide, government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh told reporters: “I think so, yes, in the coming days.” The Iraqi supreme court upheld Majid’s death sentence on September 4 following his conviction for presiding over the mass killings of Iraqi Kurds in the 1980s and ordered that he be executed within 30 days. But Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki was reluctant to hang him until after the Muslim celebration of Eid al-Fitr, which ended on Monday, because of the outcry that followed Saddam Hussein’s execution during another Muslim holiday. |

#1 When nobody's looking, let him know how he's going to be buried up to his neck next to a fireant hill, stoned for a while, then Kurdish widows and ex-mothers will get a turn at him with round toothpicks, and then getting small doses of what he used to gas the Kurds until dead, and that the whole process should take about a day. Or two at the most. Then shove a bootlace up his @$$, leave, and let him take care of the rest. Kurds will be happy that he's dead, and Sunnis couldn't take too much offense if there is a surveillance video of the guy hanging himself. |
