Big ****ing deal, he still breaths air. That's just wrong.

The big pussy didn't even have the decency to kill himself.

It is much more demoralizing to his followers to see him taken alive in
in the humiliating state he was found in than as a dead martyr.


Nonsense. They don't really give a ****. We should have blown his freaking
head
off. Screw that "martyr" nonsense.

You underestimate the eastern importance of martyrdom. Even if the
insurgents do not like Saddam, they would still have used his death as a
(very effective) rallying cry. For us to have shot him, especially without
him putting up any fight, would have shown the insurgents that the infidels
were nothing more than animals, ripe for the slaughter.
