Photoshopped.
You can tell by looking at his face, reflections and shadows are all wrong.
Bottom left shop was especially poor
August 26th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
Guess ‘ol Obama above didn’t see the video that was leaked. Oh wait, yeah.. every picture you run across is Photoshopped. Silly me, I forgot.
August 26th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
stick to your ******* election you two dorks!!!!!
August 27th, 2008 at 12:11 am
Why does everyone have to be such a skeptic? Not every picture is photoshopped, just because you photoshop yours.
August 27th, 2008 at 1:52 am
Great Sadham!!!!!
August 27th, 2008 at 7:37 am
Ok, all of you adamantly defending the credibility of these photos! Go look for odd pics anywhere else on the internet, especially if you Stumble. Someone, somewhere will say it’s shooped. Deal with it, it’s a freaking joke.
August 28th, 2008 at 3:42 am
It’s not shopped. Back when this happened, the video was all over the net, even aired on some news stations. I can remember the video and these shots have been taken from it. Look around, find it and see for yourself.
August 28th, 2008 at 5:35 am
see you in the hell butcher
August 28th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
they even made the execution on u.s. prime-time.. hallelujah!
August 28th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
i don’t know why, but the pictures really makes me sad.
August 28th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
I agree samanya. I mean the guy deserved to die for everything that he did, but it is still kind of sad seeing the pictures.
August 29th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
That’s one well hung Iraqi!
August 29th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
He needed to get hung for flying that plane into the WTC. even found his ID at the bottom of all that rubble
August 30th, 2008 at 1:07 am
The video was taken on a mobile phone by a guard at the execution. It was all over the news. These stills were taken from the video….they look dodgy because the video was dodgy. Authentic. but shit. Still pretty amazing though.
August 30th, 2008 at 3:57 am
Iamo, I hate to break it to you man, but surely the likelihood that if in fact they found his ID at the bottom of the rubble, it would be intact, is non-existant. How do you actually alow yourself to be so ignorant, in this case it is a choice, just use common sense dude, firstly , why would his ID be at the scene without him? Secondly, how if hardly any pieces of the torn apart and flame ingulfed Boeing Aircraft were recovered, do you beleive that a A6 booklet, with Perspex coating around it was found UNDER all the rubble? so what you are in fact implying is that the ID reached the ground from a tremendous height in a quicker timespan that even a 5kg piece of debris would/could.
nough said..
make use of common sense before displaying yourself as a fool, there is a reason why it is called COMMON sense afterall.
oh yes, IAMO i hope you are sitting down, cause here is a shocker for you.
WTC was an INSIDE JOB
FACT
August 31st, 2008 at 6:18 am
This is NOT photoshoped, I’ve seen the video, these are frames from the recording.
August 31st, 2008 at 1:46 pm
press conferance in the states when saddam was taken sounds like this:
man with mic standing behind an american WE-ARE-THE-GREATEST bench: WE GOT HIM!!!!!
silly american people listening to preacher:
YEEEEEEEAAAAAH!
one word: primitive
August 31st, 2008 at 7:35 pm
it is still amazing how the ‘it’s photoshopped’ gag still manages to piss people off
September 1st, 2008 at 1:57 am
Captain Ahab had never realized his hatred for the great blue whale would come to this….
September 1st, 2008 at 5:38 am
Are you guys serious? Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with the WTC! He was the leader of Iraq, and was not at all a fundamentalist islamic, nor was he a terrorist. Do your readings kids, he was hung for crimes against humanity for his attacks on the kurds and his own people. Never did he orchestrate nor engage in any “terror” acts against the west. It was group of fundamentalist islamics, predominantly from saudi arabia, and headed by Osama Bin Laden, operating under the title “al Qaeda” as named by the press, that are responsible for these attacks.
He’s not a good man, but you are seriously misinformed if you think he had any involvement, whether it be financially or politically, in organising 9/11.
Seriously misinformed.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:11 am
He was the better leader ever!!!!!
His soul will live in our hearts forever!!
Sadam Power!!!
September 1st, 2008 at 2:18 pm
[...] Saddam Hussein execution [...]
September 1st, 2008 at 5:29 pm
Remember kids: Tor spelled backwards is rot.
September 1st, 2008 at 5:51 pm
Tor is comical
September 1st, 2008 at 8:06 pm
If you look closely you can see this was just before the planes hit the towers.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:56 pm
are his eyebrows dyed?
September 2nd, 2008 at 1:27 am
I cant believe they hung quadruplets!
September 2nd, 2008 at 1:44 am
tor, i think waddap is trying to show you up in the innapropriate ******* competition, lol i dont know why you all give them the time of day, they are just feeding off your reactions, i spose i cant talk but ohwell.
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:46 am
waddup is radical indeed. like his comments
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:56 pm
This was the photo that makes Tor cry like a little girl.
September 4th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
He looks kind of stern yet benevolent. I wonder if he was a kind man? Does anyone know why this man was hung? Was he just a casualty of war?
September 4th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
What yo’all are forgetting is that he was just another butcher of humanoids, and for that he really pissed someone off to such an extent that the “Superman” mentality of the Western powers clicked in and he just got done, no waiting on death row for ten years while lawyers lived on state money presenting arguments that only served to feather their own nests.
September 5th, 2008 at 8:40 am
Juliette - Just to clarify unless an object has wind resistance then they both would have fallen at the same speed..
September 5th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
I wonder if he has a lonely girlfriend back home?
September 7th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
he seems ‘grave’…hahahaha
September 8th, 2008 at 11:09 am
1) saddam was executed in such a hurry,
because U.S and some europe countries like germany , france ..
didn’t want him to talk about those countries and name companies
that gave him chemical stuff to bomb iran and his own people.
then world would know who are real criminals , and should be
punished.
world would know that iraq had a green light to attack kuwait.
this way all the truth and secrets went under the ground for ever.
September 8th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
You can’t say civilization don’t advance… in every war they kill you in a new way…
September 9th, 2008 at 12:08 am
its interesting that we attacked saddam soon after he announced that he would quit trading in American dollars and would only accept euros. previously all other countries had to buy dollars to use to purchase oil from Iraq, this would have cost america billions. a tremendous blow to america in the economic arena.
September 9th, 2008 at 12:09 am
he looks sad, I feel a little bad about it, it didnt really help me with buying gas for my car like I thought at first.
September 10th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
For all we do claim to be a civilized race, the whole execution process of Saddam seemed very medieval and barbaric to me!
Faces covered, leather jackets, it looks like the PIRA lot are about to six pack ‘im before they ‘it the Guinness
September 11th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
after reading all this debate it makes me so proud im canadian and we dont reflect our lives around a goverment that is full of complete meat heads, bottom line is the guy is dead he didnt deserve to live. Its to bad there wasnt a better video, so we wouldnt debate the film work…..he is dead cheers!!! get out of iraq and worry about astablishing your own country that is taking a pre recession thanks to the man you elected
September 13th, 2008 at 10:20 am
wow Iamo, youre an idiot
September 13th, 2008 at 10:24 am
Juliette Pascal, you’re worse that Iamo. You just made the most ridiculous argument I’ve ever seen. Holy shit. How about saying “Sadam had nothing to do with 9/11″, instead of making up excuses for why your other ****** friend thinks Sadam dropped his ID during 9/11. Oh my god I wish people had brains
September 13th, 2008 at 10:30 am
Doris, I can’t believe I’m responding to you. Here goes: 1.No, He was not. 2. He was convicted for war crimes. 3. He was a victim of his own war.
Please. Please, use your brains.
September 14th, 2008 at 1:24 am
Who’s Saddam?
September 14th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Hypocrisy, he was killed for killing. Are we not supposed to be more human? There are worse things than death, to think this is the best sentence we could have given him was barbaric
September 15th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
I cried a river this day…
He were a man of value… less than Hitler for sure.
I ‘m still his fan.
September 17th, 2008 at 12:39 am
Bad people have longer lives than good people.
Saddam had been evil for decades and he lived longer than those innocent people he killed.
Millions of children and innocent people die because of poverty. Its because powerful people neglect their existence.
September 17th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
@Blake…I cant believe it either, such a nice man you must be! Did you knw this man? If you did I bet you were sad to see him go, he has such a kind face.
Did they really hang him just cause he did a crime? didnt they think he could change, he looks so nice….I dont understand , he was hanged for crimes or he was a victim of war?!! Do you mean he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, or did he maybe rape somebody like those black people did in that other picture? they looked so nice too. I guess you cant tell by looking, sometimes people look so nice but they turn out to be mean old rapers. I guess its ok if he was a mean old raper, but how was he a war victim? that wouldnt be his fault would it? why did they blame it on him?
September 17th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
suck shit to the *** he sux he ruined peoples lifes stuff him
September 18th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Une mort pour sauver des vies. La vie est parfois curieuse
September 21st, 2008 at 9:24 am
The whole trial thing was dumb, it´s obvious that dubya wanted Saddam dead, they could just shot him in the head at the very moment they found him, but no… they have to make all this circus of his “trial”
Americans are truly, the new roman empire, decadent and filthy, and I hope I live to see the day when your damned empire finally falls.
September 24th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Do your homework! Saddam was not actually executed!
Don’t you find it suspicious that in a closely controlled execution of one of the world’s most evil men (who happens to be friends with most world leaders) someone managed to get a cell phone inside and then take video of it without anyone noticing?!
The execution was staged, and the “illegal” video was taken so that people would think he was really dead. He’s not!
He’s living in California, making money as a Saddam Hussein impersonator.
September 24th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
I wonder if he pooped his pants when he was hanged?
September 25th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
@me, I wonder if you pooped your pants when you saw this picture? Dorty pinko commie ****** *****!

September 26th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
he looks sad, like he feels sorry for what he did. maybe they should have let him go?
September 27th, 2008 at 9:00 am
Only idiots comment photos, and sit on internet forums.
Also only idiots like watching tv, read worst newspapers, and wander if picture is photoshopped or not. ******* idiots.
September 27th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
@steve, nice to have you with us old man.
September 28th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
is because of this Comments that EVERYBODY HATE THOSE **** AMERICANS
September 29th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
well, not everyone hates americans, but many do (only because of their arrogance)
whatever it may be - Attack on iraq & execution of saddam was a great failure of International Law and UN (there was no real and imminent threat to USA from Iraq) and a great show of old age law, powerful need not follow any rule.
October 2nd, 2008 at 8:30 pm
If all you idiots in other countries hate America so much, how about refusing our foreign aide checks? I personally think we should end ALL foreign aide, and keep the money in the good old USA.
October 4th, 2008 at 8:32 am
To 20th comment from Erin on September 1st, 2008 at 5:38 am
i think that u have been misinformed. you are accusing al Qaeda while you do not know what really went down that day, you’re saying that Muslims are responsible for all the terrorist attacks but truth be told it is America who is controlling the media and badmouthing Islam, maybe becoz they see Islam as a threat becoz we are right our teachings in the Qur’an are all right.. we should all be brothers living in peace and worshipping the one God and why would Muslims do such a thing like those terrorist attacks when our principles are based on peace and ethical conduct.
And Saddam Hussein may have been hung for crimes against humanity and he killed his people but those people whom Saddam killed were actually the enemy so to speak- the shiite (muslims) who were sitting outside the mosque were shooting at the sunni (muslims).
if any one has any questions concerning Islam please ask me i would be happy to converse with u
October 6th, 2008 at 8:17 am
What the hell are you doing America? The fact that people here think Saddam was hung for 9/11 just shows how brain washed everybody is. “Hey we didn’t find WMDs or get Osama so lets just commit another CRIME and put a ******* leader to death. That way people will forget about how we messed up”. Since when was policing the world America’s job?!!?This shit will be studied in schools in 30 years!
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
October 6th, 2008 at 10:30 am
Unless you’re an American citizen you can’t talk about what we all believe. Each person is different. Are you telling me that just because I am an American I am stupid enough to think that Saddam had anything to do with 9/11. I love my country, but I do not always agree with what the leaders are doing. Americans are not bad people, and we are not the only country to mess up. EVERY country has made mistakes, so stop pointing at us for all of the problems in the world.

Keep up the mouth and maybe we will decide to conquer the world, we could do it, hell we run all your pathetic little countries already behind the scenes through our political, economic and cultural manipulations.

October 24th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
I think they made his death too quick. He spent a long time putting people through intense pain, and then he gets killed by hanging. Too quick for someone like him.
October 26th, 2008 at 10:23 am
he is not really dead. there have been a number of sightings in north london, muswell hill to be precise
October 27th, 2008 at 9:12 am
I can’t help but laugh at some comments and praise a handful of them at the same time…including one by Julliet, Visitor, Julius, Tushar and few others maybe. Maybe Saddam was a bad guy, maybe he was a war lord, but question remains was it mandatory for US to hang him on the dawn of one of my major religious holidays? Was it just to show “we got the power and we can do it any damn way we please?” I’m not saying he was a good guy or bad guy…but it surely could have waited a day! Do we hang or execute people on the day of Xmas day? I’s sure we don’t! Then why apply different regulation on someone else in a diff country? He was never given the chance to speak to the journalist…why? Maybe coz he’d release unwanted info to the open world ?… pity! It is sad how we Americans are losing respect to the outer world…and we certainly are not in the same respectable position like we used to be few years ago…
October 27th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
I just watched the footage of Saddam Hussein’s execution…
It made me wonder if there is anything on the internet that I wouldn’t masturbate to.
October 28th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
now hang me up to dry
October 31st, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Keeping in mind of the resolution that justified our invasion and eventual capture of this individual…
Executive branch was required to prove [direct] ties to 9/11 and/or imminent WMD threat and ability to facilitate attack (within 90 day window) on the soil of USA (i.e., not an ally).
Q. Who was more honest (and accurate) about whether we could provide substantive proof of WMDs in Iraq or direct ties to 9/11 attack?
A. George W. Bush
B. Colin Powell
C. Saddam Hussein

November 15th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Those pictures are taken from the video of his hanging which can be founded around the web. I have seen the video first hand. He was hung.
November 15th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
can we go back to my photo now please?
November 16th, 2008 at 1:36 pm

Yeah, somebody shopped photos from an actual video of him being hanged (to make it look more dramatic than it really was?) are you that ignorant or just stupid.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
@WPN, MCain, and every other idiot posting on this picture:
are YOU that stupid to believe that people are serious when they yell “photoshopped” at every photo they see? I don’t understand why people get so pissed off. THEY’RE NOT SERIOUS!!! It’s just like people racing to post ‘first’ in every comment section they can find. It’s a game, and part of it is to try to piss people off like you. So get over it and just ignore them! Letting people know it pisses you off just encourages them to keep posting.

November 20th, 2008 at 9:44 pm

November 21st, 2008 at 1:28 am

the great Shaitan was hung like the greedy and evil man he was, Allah praise the American benefactors who have liberated my poor country from the oppression of ths mad man. You see, I am actually Iraqi, I was just ashamed before to admit that we allowed this man to become a god over us, for his sons to rape our daughters, and torture our sons to death. Thanks be to Allah the merciful that the brave Americans came and saved us, may their kindness be repaid in heaven with many houris to entertain them, to servic their every need, would be that my daughters hadnt been disgraced so I could give them to a fine American man, then I too perhaps could move to America, the land of milk and honey! Praise Allah!

it doesnt matter what the **** all you think. no matter what he did this is still someones life and the fact that it got this much publicity and air time over his execution is sick. i mean how barbaric are we? have we not grown at all from the mid evil times where hanging and beheading was an event? this is all sick. This is the end of someones life.

A lot of office boys like to talk about “old school.” I’ll tell you who was old school: Saddam Hussein. Saddam died beautiful. It’s the truth and you know it. Fact is, the longer we stay in Iraq the better Saddam looks. He never had a tenth of our money or weaponry but he did what we can’t: kept that bag of snakes in order.
And what a way to go! Damn, did you see that cellphone video of his death? A bunch of Shia monkeys in ski masks woofing at him — safe behind their masks, with Saddam handcuffed and under guard — woofing like cockapoos at a pit bull heading for the Pound’s death cell. And Saddam laughed at them, especially when they chanted the name of their pissant Imam, Moqtada al-Sadr. You can hear him on that jerky cellphone video sneering, “Moqtada?” And Saddam earned the right to laugh; he killed Sadr Sr. and kept Junior so terrified he didn’t dare show his fat face until Saddam was gone and only the wimp occupiers were in charge.
Saddam told the ski-mask monkeys they weren’t real men. And he had the right to say that too. Call him what you want, but Saddam was a man, a real man. One of the last. To me, watching that execution was like watching Planet of the Apes: a bunch of de-evolved primates killing the last man. Saddam looked like the 20th century in that overcoat and hat. He’d lost weight in prison. Never flinched, not once. You try that: going to the gallows with your blood enemies screaming insults at you. See if you can hold your bladder, never mind answer back as fast and calm as he did.
The 20th was a good century, bloody and unbowed, as the man said. We’re going to miss it when it’s gone. It’s hanging on in places here and there at the edge of the office world, but we’re doing our best to finish it off, and that hanging was a big step in that wrong direction.
Sure, Saddam was a killer. Don’t you get it by now? In a place like Iraq, killing is how you run things. Sure, Saddam boosted his clan, his people; you think Sadr’s goons are going to be any less vicious about boosting their tribe? They’re not off to a very good start, promoting interfaith cooperation by torturing Sunnis to death and stacking their stinking corpses in old trucks dropped off at the nearest bus stop.
Blaming Saddam for being what he was is like blaming a rattlesnake for killing. That’s how it lives, and it’s what that Crocodile Hunter guy would’ve called “a bee-YOO-tiful ambush predator.” Saddam was right for Iraq the way a Sidewinder is right for the Mojave. The NeoCons scared us by shaking his fangs in our faces, as if Saddam planned to bite every single commuter in LA, when all he wanted to do was stay alive and in power — because those were the same thing for him — in the Iraqi desert, where everything stings, sticks or bites. We may as well have gone on a crusade to wipe out all the snakes and spiders in the desert for being what they are. Only difference is, we wouldn’t have lost 3000 soldiers that way.
Until we hooked him out of his burrow, the only thing Saddam had really done to America has hand us our most glorious victory since Inchon, in Gulf War I. He was like a lot of Third-World rulers: great at internal security but hopeless at conventional war. Like a rattler, he was totally harmless to anybody with the brains God gave a stray dog.
Meaning, anybody but Bush and Cheney. Those dudes remind me of this Darwin-Award winner who went to the hereafter on Lake Berryessa. He was fishing, noticed a rattler swimming beside his boat, grabbed it — and when his fishing buddy told him to throw it away, this genius said, “Oh, no, it’s harmless — look!” and held it up to his face to show how harmless it was. The snake did us all a favor and took his genes out of the pool by biting him right on the nose, and he died before his buddy could power back to shore.
That was Saddam’s last favor to us: showing us — the hard way, no denying that — how flat-out stupid our bigwigs really are. Bush is standing up at the podium every press conference with that rattler dangling from his nose like a mega-booger, yelping, “I’m fine, I’m fine!” but one of these days, and none too soon, he’ll pass out and pass on, thanks to Saddam.
We did Saddam an accidental favor in return by giving him a rare old-school death. Maybe that’s not important for some of you moral-types but it would be to my heroes. It would matter to John Paul Jones, it would matter to Alexander, it would matter to Subotai, and it matters to me. I wish I could have a death like that. Instead I’ll die the same way you will, tubes coming out of my fat carcass, leaning over to watch the cardio beeper zig when it’s supposed to zag, scared out of my head and ashamed to look down at this civilian belly hyperventilating its last chickenshit breaths.
Not Saddam. We may not have meant to, but we showed him the ultimate respect. And he deserved it.

I LOVE when people get pissed off at the photoshopped jokes. Idiots.

poor saddam, all he wanted to do was torture people and have nuclear non existant weapons

Its been well documented from a number of sources that it was in fact one of his body doubles. Look it up. The whole thing was staged from beginning to end. Saddam is still alive and well.

The last of the great leaders……
Look what happened when they removed him. You can’t even buy an icecreme now.
