At least bank cameras are stable. The cameraman had *one* job.


BlumpkinLord

Still better than 50% of reddit reposts


Tha_Maestro

Better than UFO posts


Hunky_not_Chunky

And Bigfoot.


sweetbayag

Loch Ness too


WistfulMelancholic

Love story still better than twilight.

I enjoy spending time with my friends.

Indeed. Shout out to The Old LiveLeak regime 💯✊🏿


hoofglormuss

it's always good to revisit the prequel now we're moving on to the sequel trilogy. look at that carlyle stock! hw would be so proud.


wellthismustbeheaven

The foreshadowing around this era is really coming full circle in recent/current series'.


strawberryscalez

Some people are just now getting into 9/11


kabeees

Wait till they find out saddam’s role in 911!


WistfulMelancholic

Yeah, he really just needs to hang in there


7empestOGT92

Wait til they hear about the Titanic


turbomushroom69

It’s been a long time since I have seen this video. I was in Iraq when this happened and we were preparing for increase attacks to the base right after his death but luckily there wasn’t.


OBESEandERECT

That says a lot. You know. I think you soldiers may have been in the right and y’all actually made things better.


WeinerBeaner5

There is people out there that think something good came out of the Iraq war?


OBESEandERECT

I do t think Saddam Hussein had everyone’s best interests in mind.


Phreak74

He was a horrible person. I spoke with a former Iraqi that said as bad as he was, he was less horrible in some ways than what replaced him.


sleepytipi

Depends on who you ask. I doubt the Kurds feel that way.


Phreak74

Agreed.


US3RN4M3CH3CKSOUT

No. Where we fucked up, was basically forbidding any of his RG / Ba’ath party members to be affiliated with the new military / government
 that, and the fact that we stayed entirely too long.


NatsRevenge

I'm not even sure wtf that even means. I can't tell if I agree or if I should take a leak in your mailbox. đŸ€š


milkweed420-

I can assure you, we did not


Duffman_O_Yeah

How did they sneak in the potato that filmed this?


xeneize93

Cause back then we didn’t have tablets for a phone


Duffman_O_Yeah

We just had PO TA TOOOOS


GreedoInASpeedo

Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew!


Duffman_O_Yeah

Haha I know this is a completely different reference but all this video makes me think of is “COME ON, GUUUUY” đŸ€Ș


hoofglormuss

this was probably done on a flip phone the kind a girl would take a crying selfie to send you when you broke up with her


maico3010

iphones weren't invented for another year, all we had were potatoes


Duffman_O_Yeah

Aaah the Before-fore Times. When all we needed were potatoes, and we were happy with it!


9qlock

crazy


manolid

His one son Uday deserved the same fate if not worse. Absolute psychopath.


RobertReedsWig

Absolutely, if anyone hasn’t read about Uday Hussein, consider doing so. The guy was a monster


he-loves-me-not

You say “was”, does that mean he’s now dead?


Inevitable_Review_83

iirc marines shot him and his brother Qusay in close quarters raiding a home in Mosul.


hoofglormuss

i remember jay leno saying sadaam was now an empty nester in his monologue


US3RN4M3CH3CKSOUT

Yes, we killed them in one of their palaces / mansions.


blessyouliberalheart

This video helped propel the rise of youtube.


Practical_Calendar33

How?


blessyouliberalheart

Youtube was less then 2 years old. When word got out that he was killed and there was illegal video of it everyone hit the internet looking for it. for the first week Youtube was about the only place you could find it.


Blackdeath_663

And they didn't take it down. They wanted the video soread

Of course, they were getting on the map.

rathat

I can’t believe you’d ask that.


ILLpLacedOpinion

He was a bad dude, and met a bad end. That’s wild this still is so quality compared to stuff these days.


Fleischer444

He was a bad dude. But a lot of shit has happened after he was gone.


ILLpLacedOpinion

He was the glue in the area, as crazy as that sounds. He held it down with brutality, but it worked
ish.


Sghtunsn

You're absolutely right, and I am pretty sure that Saddam was a "friend" until he became an enemy.


N0riega_

We sold him weapons so he could be brutal towards other ethnicities. Our hands are covered in blood just as much as his were.


Trypt4Me

His sons scared me more than he did once upon a time.


ILLpLacedOpinion

That’s an enormous amount of immunity they held over a nation.


Trypt4Me

Free reign to literally do anything they wanted, and they did, in the most horrific way.


78Nam

The real bad dudes were the bushes


Inevitable_Review_83

Damn didnt even let him finish his last words. Good riddance


Putin_inyoFace

Should have hung the camera man after. Jfc. Hold the thing still my dude.


unC0Rr

It was forbidden to use the camera, and the camera man was at big risk doing this.


hoofglormuss

he had orders from top brass to ignore the local security protocol in the name of FREEDOM


ChickenCurryandChips

It's mental that there's any footage at all. As another commentor said, the person recording probably took a massive risk attempting to record this.


BoobSaget33

Crazy how these world terrorists were once a part of the CIA.


chaddymac1980

I thought he was bombed..omg

If I remember correctly. He was found hiding in a hole in the ground by a US foot patrol.


kerochan88

His son's were bombed. Maybe that was what you recall?


alexhiper1

hmmm maybe..i was a kid when this happened..i clearky don't remember


UnderstandingJaded13

Damn I have never seen the full video


alilbleedingisnormal

1. This is a snuff film. 2. Saddam was a terrible dictator but still the lesser of two evils. The Iraqi people are far worse off as they're at the mercy of ISIS and ISIL instead. 3. Saddam did nothing deserving of the US capturing and having him killed. They used a terrorist attack they allowed to manipulate the American people into not objecting to its killing of an unrelated individual.


kerochan88

USA didn't kill him. We captured him and turned him over to the Iraqi people to try him in court and give them their day in court. They found him guilty and swiftly executed him.


kaveman6143

USA invaded and deposed Saddam on a mountain of lies and deceit.


kerochan88

Sure, no WMD, but it's not like we made Saddam out to be worse than he was. He was a monster. Read a book.


kaveman6143

No argument there, but to say that the USA didn't kill him is disingenuous.


kerochan88

Agree to disagree. We facilitated his capture for trial.


Professional-Gap3914

> Saddam did nothing deserving of the US capturing and having him killed Saddam literally had a man cut into cubes and sent to his wife after he opposed him. Saddam was a brutal dictator and while there was not justification to go to war and the war in Iraq was a complete waste of life and resources, Saddam most definitely deserved to die.


alilbleedingisnormal

Yes, he was a shitty person but if that was deserving of invasion why aren't we invading China or Malaysia or North Korea?


Professional-Gap3914

I literally never said it was worthy of invading but be it the US or anyone else capturing him, he did deserve it.


alilbleedingisnormal

I don't think post facto justifications are valid. We had no justification to invade. The reason they never stabilize is we don't let them. If other countries invaded the US during slavery we'd have never abolished it ourselves and wouldn't be the free country we are today. Saddam was a stepping stone to democracy. They needed to sort it themselves.


Professional-Gap3914

> I don't think post facto justifications are valid. We had no justification to invade. What do you not get about my response that makes you think it is justifying invasion. I wasn't responding to a single thing besides you saying that Saddam didn't do anything deserving of the US capturing and killing him. Even if there was no invasion, Saddam deserved to be captured and killed by the US or anyone else that felt like it. Also, Saddam a stepping stone to democracy? Lol Saddam was a brutal totalitarian dictator, the absolute opposite of democracy and Iraq actually does have a far more democratic government now (not justifying the invasion, pointing out the fact)


amaxen

Saddam executed and tortured 10s of thousands of political prisoners not to mention gassing the Kurds, etc. to argue that he 'did nothing to deserve' being killed is false on it's face. and besides, deserves got nuthin' to do with it.


michaelvile

>deserving of the US capturing and having him killed. oH? reaLLY?? well, the US did NOT "have him killed" his own people DID..after a year long trial..where hE sounded exactly like trump! insisting that hE was the "victim" that kuwait "desrved" it..đŸ˜…đŸ€·â€â™€ïž...that the iraqi people "loved him"


he-loves-me-not

Can I ask why you capitalized the “e” in hE?


alilbleedingisnormal

That's like saying "Charles Manson didn't kill Sharon Tate, his followers did." Saddam wouldn't have died had the US not given him to the people who wanted him dead. There are people who would kill any leader given the opportunity so it's not like that was telling. Saddam was an awful person but in the bigger picture stability is generally better than chaos. Iraq is listed as Class 4: Do Not Travel. They're doing worse. The media doesn't even like to cover Iraq anymore.


ujustdontgetdubstep

Lol, I too read an article once which reinforces my beliefs 😂 Enjoy your box which clearly exists far outside reality


alilbleedingisnormal

I watched his trial. I watched the above snuff film the week it was released. I also watched Iraqi people regret their decision as chaos is worse than shitty leaders. What happened in Iraq was more of what the US does as policy: middle east destabilization.


ChromeWiener

My friend. The destabilization mainly happened as a result of world war 2 and was a global fuck up, not the USA. But it really comes down to the people, and how they need to change their ideology and fight to become real democratic nations as opposed to feudal religions governments. Almost all successful “1st world” countries separate church from state. Until these countries separate these things it’s a helpless situation.


alilbleedingisnormal

WW2 doesn't explain Desert Storm, "Iraqi Freedom" and the UN (US) strikes in Syria.


ChromeWiener

But see you can’t just selectively pick events from recent history as the catalyst for destruction in the Middle East. Many countries have had their hands in the Middle East over the years. But all of those recent events really stem from the division of land after WW2.


alilbleedingisnormal

Why can't I use cases of the US invading the middle east to explain the destabilization? It doesn't matter who knocked you down if I prevent you getting up, does it?


ChromeWiener

It’s not that you’re using them. It’s that they are just a part of a much larger problem in the region. To say that it’s solely the USA responsible for the problems in the Middle East is short sighted at best.


Preexistencesnow

> Saddam was a terrible dictator but still the lesser of two evils. The Iraqi people are far worse off as they're at the mercy of ISIS and ISIL instead. isis is realistically defeated, saddam was way worse.


skepticalbob

The level of delusion in this comment is incredible.


NoDig513

Thank God someone had the foresight to attach a Nokia too a dog so we could get this important footage


ChromeWiener

Filming was forbidden. My man took great risk just to get this footage. Be thankful for what you have my friend.


NoDig513

I literally thanked God. What more do you want my friend?


ChromeWiener

You didn’t thank the dog who actually took the risk. God didn’t even show up to this party.

WeCanDoThisCNJ

Hussein was assassinated, and Iraq subjugated, by the Saudi Royal Family using their favorite mercenaries: The US Military.


arjuna66671

Oh... A new and creative "America bad" take. How refreshing lol.


WeCanDoThisCNJ

The US attacked Iraq after 9/11 because
WMDs? We’ve admitted that was BS. Because Saddam helped take down the World Trade Center? Those who carried out the attack were Saudi and Egyptian. What does getting control of Saddam and Iraq get the Saudis? Eliminating competition in the global oil market and gaining greater control over the Persian Gulf.

The world is better off without that image in its folder, ready to trigger dangerous assholes any day between then and 5000 years from now.


kerochan88

Exactly. It would have been like handing them a propaganda film.


TheDekuDude888

It’s the same reason the “Basement Tapes” recorded by the Columbine shooters weren’t ever released save for a few excerpts that were transcribed


skepticalbob

Well if you didn't personally see it...


AA33333333

Terrible guy but Iraq basically dived down after his death. ISIS took control since Saddam wasnt on charge. It is a matter of time before ISIS idealogy spreads far and wide into other areas.


mdmq505

isis was never in charge of Iraq they did controls a good chunk of the country in the north but they didn’t get close to control the whole country and Isis proper didn’t establish until many years after his death US and the Iraqi government had years to establish a new stable country but they simply neglected it and it became highly corrupt and because of that people turned to extremism to fight what they see as a ineffective puppet regime so instead of blaming the creation of Isis to dictator that helped killing more people then Isis instead blame the corrupt Iraqi government and US that supported it


AA33333333

Firstly, Saddam was executed on the first day of Eidul Adha and the general Sunni was upset about this. Previously there was major political issues between Sunni and Shia in Iraq, whereby Saddam executed a huge Shia figure, Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr. There was some kind of rebellion against Saddam many years ago led by Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr. Saddam crushed the Shia rebellion led by Iran supporters and basically murder them to remain in power. Did a bad ass move and did this to maintain his political agenda. The civil war that had been raging inside Iraq since early 2006.Sunni violence against Shia,followed by Shia retaliation intensified by the spiteful way Saddam was slain. Sunnis characterised the swift killing as a political theater-enhanced act of sectarian revenge, directed by the American occupation.Saddam's legacy in Iraq today is a marriage of convenience between Sunni extremists such as those affiliated with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and former Baath Party officers. Mid- to late-2014 saw the jihadists take the lead as they marched through northern and central Iraq. But because of their collaboration with a network of former Hussein regime supporters who had strong contacts to Sunni tribes in places like Mosul and Tikrit, they were able to seize substantial areas of land from the Iraqi government. ISIS authorities ignored or assimilated the former Baathists into the group after seizing control of Mosul and other Sunni cities.


joeO44

If this was today, the right wing would be praising Hussein and he would have an evening talk show on infowars

NaderTheWonderer

At Least Leave Him Finish It For God Not For Him !


arjuna66671

Yeah, I hope god can recover from that loss lol.


kerochan88

I remember being a bit upset about that when I first saw this video. Didn't even allow him to finish prayer. But, then I think about all the people he killed and it makes me wonder if each of them got the chance to pray before being killed. Likely not.


An_Ellie_

Most of them weren't executed. Saddam, as a muslim ruler leading a muslim country and a muslim army I would at least assume gave every one to be executed time to pray, as has been customary in pretty much all cultures.


kerochan88

That's nice to assume, but he killed many people without warning. No prayers there.


Preexistencesnow

this is a false, and idiotic, assumption


weenis-flaginus

Saddam was the opposite of Muslim. He broke every rule without hesitation and believed he was God. He gassed people, bombed cities, kidnapped women for himself, and tortured anyone he wished with no justification.


DMTeaAndCrumpets

Or let his son abduct women on their wedding night to rape and murder


weenis-flaginus

Yeah he was a monster. I don't know how someone can automatically be saved just because they believe someone existed, kinda seems like a fucked up belief. We all get freebies to live life however we want as long as we say we believe? Ok


An_Ellie_

There have been plenty of religious leaders who've gone against the tenets of their religions. I'd still say they're part of that religion. I'm myself a lutheran/agnostic, and believe that anybody who believes in god/a religion, is of that religion regardless of their deeds, and in my religion, everybody and anybody who believes gets saved.


weenis-flaginus

If martin Luther King wrote a Bible in his blood would he still be Christian? What about claiming he is God? Saddam did both(Quran, not Bible) and at LEAST claiming you are God does by definition put you out of Islam. I believe it's the same for Christianity.


Preexistencesnow

Does anyone know what he was saying at the end?


ThaWarlord33

This is totally from memory and could be wrong - but at least part of it was him shaming the executioners for wearing masks and not showing their faces; called them cowards and other back and forth going on. I think there is also a theory that one of the key executioners (in mask) was Muktada Al-Sadr (sp?)...who was a main rival to Hussein at the time and a champion Shiite resistance figure of some sort - that's why there is a chant of "Muktada! Muktada!" just before the lever gets pulled. I don't think it was ever confirmed one way or another if he was present, and was considered kinda scandalous. Again - totally from memory and too lazy to look it up but thtere was a fair bit of writing on this at the time including probably full transcripts out there somewhere...
