Pro 3903     Andover |  Subject: "U.S. general: Iraqis botched it" ...From MSNBC: "U.S.: Iraqis responsible for Saddam hanging 'We would have done it differently,' General Caldwell says" How did they "botch" it? The FKer is dead! Yeah, "We would have done it differently," he'd be sitting in a jail cell with cable and an internet connection, and eating three squares. Not that it was our (US) place to hunt, arrest, and kill him anyway. But, of course, that is just my .02 ...  |

The general said that U.S. forces were not in charge of it, and had nothing to do with it. This is over the fact that the hanging was filmed by someone with a mobile phone. |

I know but I'm in a pissy mood today so I thought I'd throw some fuel on the fire. That's okay in COJ, right? Edited by CptnJackSparrow 2007-01-03 11:24 AM |

Check me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it an Iraqi that was executed by Iraqis as a result from a verdict from an Iraqi court? Why should the US have had any hand in it? |

I personally didn't understand why the article was written the way it was. Heck, they had one blurb from this general, and not much else..... I think the point of it was to say that "IF we had been involved, there wouldn't have been any mobile phones to take photos / videos". But the title sort of skews that idea.... What do you think, Jim? Poorly chosen / possibly inflammatory title, bad writing, or something else? |

But I would think less of myself for choosing to watch something like that. What I saw on the news was more than enough for me. |

| Subject: RE: "U.S. general: Iraqis botched it" ... I agree. I'd no sooner watch that than the beheading of Daniel Pearl or Nick Berg. Why anyone would want that in their psyche is beyond me (I guess that's why I'll never watch Saw... 1, 2 or 3) |

Hmmm, a journalist taking what was probably an annoyed offhand remark and using it to write an inflammatory article that would get lot's of attention... I never thought I'd see the day. bts P.S. What was the sarcasm font again? |
