HiddenMysteries: Christian Hosts Drool Over Saddam's Imminent Demise

Grisly Ghoul-Fest As So-Called Christian Hosts Drool Over Saddam's Imminent Demise
Reported by Marie Therese

Yes, indeedy, folks. FOX News can hardly contain its excitment at the prospect of airing the video of Saddam Hussein's execution. One can almost see the saliva dripping from the mouths of the various hosts. FOX started off its ghoulish death watch on yesterday's edition of FOX & Friends with this speculation by Brian Kilmeade: "How about this for a segue? Do you want to see him with a noose around his neck and his neck snapped live on television on Pay-Per-View? What and how will Saddam Hussein's hanging take place? According to insiders, they want to get it done, they want to keep it low profile and they want to do it quick. It's got to happen within 30 days but the Baathists that love him are poised to act."

Since then, the FOX News hosts and pundits have been beating the drums of death.

This morning the FOX & Friends First trio, eyes gleaming, breathlessly speculated about Saddam's last days.

TRANSCRIPT

BRIAN KILMEADE: And, who knows? Maybe Saddam Hussein is dead by now?

KIRAN CHETRY: Yeah.

KELLY WRIGHT, FOX News White House correspondent, Christian minister and gospel singer: Well, that's a - you know, we're getting a lot of conflicting reports right now, but we do know that something is going to happen, perhaps over this weekend, that Saddam Hussein could be publicly hanged by week end, which would spell the end of his reign of terror. So many people were basically stating in Iraq that they would like to see this happen. It would be a public hanging taking place. Iraqi state television would basically videotape it and perhaps release some excerpts for all of us but we're still waiting to see what will take place.

KIRAN CHERY: Wow. See, I thought they were going to take one photo ...

WRIGHT: Right.

CHETRY: .. and release it that way.

BRIAN KILMEADE: Well, if you believe Muwafaq al-Rubaie - he's one of the advisors ...

CHETRY: Name dropper.

KILMEADE: Yeah, It's true.

WRIGHT: National Security Advisor.

KILMEADE: Every time I say that, the person on the button looks to bleep me. But when Muwafaq al-Rubaie talks, I listen and it seems that they are going to tape every single thing ...

CHETRY: Wow.

KILMEADE: ... from the last meal to the gallow walk to the actual execution itself and I assume the taking of the body.

FOX correspondent Clarissa Ward then reported from Baghdad that al-Maliki had said that nothing would stop the execution and she confirmed that Saddam is still in American custody at Camp Cropper, Iraq, but noted that Saddam's chief attorney had been instructed to pick up Hussein's personal belongings. Ward implied that this means that an execution is imminent.

CLARISSA WARD: But the government may be more keen to keep the thing under wraps and to keep it more quiet because political and sectarian tensions here have been very high and a public execution might make those tensions even worse. Guys.

KIRAN CHETRY: Alright. Clarissa, thanks so much. We're gonna check in with you a little bit later. Yeah, there is a lot of information coming out from various sources both in Iraq and also here in the U. S. about the fate of Saddam Hussein. But we do know one thing. For security reasons they want to get him executed as soon as possible. Also they have a big holiday - the Eid [ul-Adha] is coming up - and I don't think that they want that to drag past that as well because it's a very holy time.

WRIGHT: And they still have the Haj coming up soon which means ...

CHETRY: Right.

WRIGHT: ... everyone will be going to Mecca. They want to get this done as soon as possible. Nouri al-Maliki, the President - the Prime Minister - of Iraq basically saying he wants to put Saddam to death for security reasons, just as you mentioned Kiran, but that does - but that dates and times keep jumping around. We are waiting apparently a logistical situation to take place where the United States military has to turn Saddam Hussein over to the Iraqi government.

KILMEADE: And that's controversial because Saddam's lawyers are saying "You can't do that. It's against the Geneva Conventions."

CHETRY: International law. Yeah.

KILMEADE: You cannot turn over a deposed ruler over to the enemy and the U. S. is evidently saying "Duh. Don't worry about that. We're gonna do it anyway." But they're trying to get world-wide support and condemnation before the transfer has happened. Now, it could've already happened. We're gonna get this in the aftermath. That's the announcement. But we do know this. Here's how it's gonna look and this incredible. It's almost like a movie! (Kilmeade became increasingly more animated as he spoke) They say they're gonna go up to him, give him his last meal. He's gonna be dressed in a green or orange jumpsuit. He's gonna be handcuffed. His feet are gonna be chained so he can shuffle and he's gonna be hooded. The person walking him will also be hooded but that person will have eye holes. Why? Because that person has to pull the lever that's gonna pull the floor out that's gonna have him drop to his death!

CHETRY (matter-of-factly): Right. The other interesting thing about that is that there have been Iraqis lining up like crazy - both expatriates and those within country - who want to be the person to hang Saddam Hussein. Apparently, there's gonna be one person that puts the noose over his neck - there's a bunch of people who want to do that - and the other person who actually pulls the lever to drop the floor out from under him. ...

WRIGHT: ... The other thing about - the reaction in terms of what's gonna take place, you recall that on November 5th is when he was sentenced. The verdict came down. Reaction at that time was basically: It's a victory for the victims of Saddam. That was according to the Iraqi Foreign Minister. Others had said the death sentence for Saddam was a matter of happiness. He was a war criminal and a vampire. And then there was another one that basically said that it was a farce. There were other people saying that this is a farcical government and actually carrying out a farcicial sentencing.

KILMEADE: You mean the election was farcical? Sorry - uh ...

CHETRY: Record number of Iraqis ...

WRIGHT: Record number of Iraqis and different people stating them.

KILMEADE: Yeah, They didn't have the election [indecipherable] a touch screen in the middle of Haditha. But his two half brothers visited him yesterday. They're also - these two brothers - are also under lock and key there at which time he said Saddam Hussein's demeanor was upbeat. He says he's excited because he's gonna be put to get (sic) at the hands of the enemy which means, in his mind, he's gonna be marytred. Little does he know he gonna be put to get (sic) at the hands of Iraqis.

CHETRY: Well, he's still considers them his enemies as we saw from the trial where he kept getting up and shouting and sreaming at the judge. But the other interesting thing is that he's also apparently said he's happy because he didn't want to spend the rest of his life wasting away in a cell, that he wanted to go out - you know - and die.

COMMENT

Dear God, how low will FOX News sink? The bloodlust of these self-described "good Christians" made me sick to my stomach.

It seems that - as the year 2006 dies and a new year begins - FOX News has decided to subject us to carefully orchestrated tableaux of death in which the passing of blues legend James Brown and former President Gerald Ford will be contrasted to the ignominious demise of Saddam Hussein.

Never mind that are serious legal issues about the trial of Hussein. Never mind that the United Nations has not signed off on it. Never mind that most of our former allies - including Britain - do not favor the death penalty. Never mind that the President and both Vice-Presidents of Iraq oppose the death penalty.

They will all sign the death warrant.

Saddam will die because George Bush decided years ago that Hussein was going to pay for trying to kill his daddy and no rule of law or threat of violence on the part of Saddam's supporters will stand in the way of Dubya's obsessive need for revenge.

Although FOX News hosts and guests have periodically engaged in sham discussions of the possibility that Hussein's life might be spared so that he might stand trial for the gassing of the Kurds in 1988, there is virtually no chance of that. That's because the chemical weapons Saddam used to kill the Kurds in 1988 were rained down on the Kurdish people by Iraqi soldiers flying in American helicopters, sold to Saddam by none other than the Reagan administration. It would be a great embarassment to the United States if Saddam's attorneys were to subpoena former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to testify about American support of Iraq at a time when they were in clear violation of international law.

Lest you think that there would be no market for the soon-to-be-released Saddam snuff film, here are a few of the comments posted on Lucianne.com, a right wing blog promoted by FOX News Channel.

These were written by the same kind of individuals who routinely excoriate Muslims for their fascination with grisly beheading videos.

Guess it takes one ghoulish sadist to know another ghoulish sadist ...

And Jesus Said:

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Verse 3)
Blessed are the meek: for they shall posses the land. (Verse 4)
Blessed are they who mourn: for they shall be comforted. (Verse 5)
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill. (Verse 6)
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. (Verse 7)
Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God. (Verse 8)
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (Verse 9)
Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Verse 10)

But Christians do not say this, or live this, or set example by this...

***************************************

Matthew 23:25-28 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

Luke 11:39-44 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also? But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you. But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

Proverbs 30:12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.

****************************************
Matthew Chapter 23
Even Jesus calls these Khristians reptiles!

Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees have taken their seat on the chair of Moses.

Therefore, do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you, but do not follow their example. For they preach but they do not practice.

They tie up heavy burdens (hard to carry) and lay them on people's shoulders, but they will not lift a finger to move them.

All their works are performed to be seen. They widen their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.

They love places of honor at banquets, seats of honor in synagogues, greetings in marketplaces, and the salutation 'Rabbi.'

As for you, do not be called 'Rabbi.' You have but one teacher, and you are all brothers.

Call no one on earth your father; you have but one Father in heaven.

Do not be called 'Master'; you have but one master, the Messiah.

The greatest among you must be your servant.

Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You lock the kingdom of heaven before human beings. You do not enter yourselves, nor do you allow entrance to those trying to enter.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You traverse sea and land to make one convert, and when that happens you make him a child of Gehenna twice as much as yourselves.

"Woe to you, blind guides, who say, 'If one swears by the temple, it means nothing, but if one swears by the gold of the temple, one is obligated.'

Blind fools, which is greater, the gold, or the temple that made the gold sacred?

And you say, 'If one swears by the altar, it means nothing, but if one swears by the gift on the altar, one is obligated.'

You blind ones, which is greater, the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?

One who swears by the altar swears by it and all that is upon it; one who swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it; one who swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who is seated on it.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You pay tithes of mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier things of the law: judgment and mercy and fidelity. (But) these you should have done, without neglecting the others.

Blind guides, who strain out the gnat and swallow the camel!

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You cleanse the outside of cup and dish, but inside they are full of plunder and self-indulgence.

Blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, so that the outside also may be clean.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You are like whitewashed tombs, which appear beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men's bones and every kind of filth.

Even so, on the outside you appear righteous, but inside you are filled with hypocrisy and evildoing.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the memorials of the righteous, and you say, 'If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have joined them in shedding the prophets' blood.'

Thus you bear witness against yourselves that you are the children of those who murdered the prophets; now fill up what your ancestors measured out!

You serpents, you brood of vipers, how can you flee from the judgment of Gehenna?

Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and pursue from town to town, so that there may come upon you all the righteous blood shed upon earth, from the righteous blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.

Amen, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how many times I yearned to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her young under her wings, but you were unwilling!

Behold, your house will be abandoned, desolate.

I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
