Saddam Hussein Hanged

[Princeps]

If Saddam is dead, then who's that guy living on my couch?

They say his actual hanging was never shown...

This was sudden....and I got a feeling of inherent wrongness when I heard about it...I'm not happy with the death penalty.

I don't think Saddam minded. He seemed to favor it while he was in power.

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

Now I am seriously scared.We all f'ed.

Oh get a grip! Thats just a pile of dirty old kimonos.

The most popular decoding of Mabus uses the anagram law of reverse mirroring to capture the name: Saddam. For those uninitiated in the technique, you spell Mabus in lower case:

m-a-b-u-s.

Reverse the spelling:

s-u-b-a-m

Reverse any letters that could make a new letter, such as "b" to "d":

s-u-d-a-m

The laws of anagramming allow for one letter replaced, especially if the letters phonetically match the pronunciation of a known name, such as "suh"-dam:

s-a-d-a-m

Redundant letters can be removed or added:

s-a-d-d-a-m

Bwahahahaha.

Reverse any letters that could make a new letter, such as "b" to "d":

No it's not. Actually, I think you are the antichrist.

Look here:

CivGeneral

First, we reverse it.

lareneGviC

Then, we remove the last three letters (by the rule of anagramming alpha+).

lareneG

Then, replace the G with a C (anagramming beta+).

lareneC

Replace the a with an i (anagramming Alpha-).

lireneC

Switch the l and C (anagramming beta+-+-+).

Cirenel

Since G is the first letter of God, we get to put a G in (anagramming theta-).

CiGrenel

Fill in missing letters (anagramming BS+).

CivGeneral

You are the antichrist. Or Saddam.

 

[Pontiuth Pilate]

Have you seen any Adam Sandler movies? Trust me, he's the Antichrist.

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

Have you seen any Adam Sandler movies? Trust me, he's the Antichrist.

No he's not. The rules of anagramming theta alpha beta phi clearly state that actors can NOT be the antichrist.

There goes my Barbara Streisand theory then.

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

There goes my Barbara Streisand theory then.

She can't act.

Her problem is that she's a woman.

You are the antichrist. Or Saddam.

Oh please! Quit trolling . I am not the "antichrist"

 

[Bugfatty300]

Would the anti-christ even know if he was the anti-christ?

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

Oh please! Quit trolling . I am not the "antichrist"

Don't worry. I was being sarcastic.

It's Saddam...

 

[amadeus]

I watched the video a couple of times, and is Saddam the one that is talking? It sounds like he's in mid-sentence and *CRASH* the platform goes and Saddam disappears.

Video was bloody weird, I somehow thought it would be a different venue than a damp basement filled with people with black ski masks on.

He's reciting the Shahada (Muslim creed, "there is no god but Allah & Muhammed is his prophet" etc.) and they hanged him in the middle of it

Still, they let him make a martyr of himself. Idiots.

Looking for this?

The Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International can just cram it in their ear and live with the fact that the Evil Dictator is gone.

We really socked it to that chump. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International can sit on it.

I still don't see why Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International are whining that the trial was unfair.

Dawg, there's a summary on the Amnesty website at link. I really don't think it would have been difficult to give him a more fair trial, and, frankly, we would still have been able to convict him.

CivG, you realise that AI were criticising Saddam long ago, while the West were still buddying up to himn at the time of the Iran war ? They have no love for him, but they do consistently want human rights to be applied to all (be they "chumps" or others...). This surely is what we should be aiming towards.
