As Polish troops discover chemical weapons in Iraq, Saddam says "This is all a theater by Bush, the criminal."
The timing couldn't be worse for Saddam -- if only the stories were reported together, which is not happening as far as I can see. Instead, Saddam alone, in various dramatic poses of righteous indignation, is everywhere, sounding a good bit like Al Gore or John Kerry -- which may explain the slant of the coverage so far.
I expect that in the coming days we will see more and more stories about Iraqis' nostalgia for the good old days of the Saddam regime, and maybe even puff pieces about how the old guy wasn't so bad after all.
Here's hoping something concrete has finally been discovered, but we've heard it all before.
If that monster gets anything less than a death sentence it will be the biggest injustice in the past millenium.Why are they wasting taxpayers money on a trial and lawyers for this inhuman bastard, everyone knows what Saddam Husseins "fair trials" were like for his thousands of tortured and executed prisoners, everyone knows what an evil, evil scumbag he is so why bother with a trial which could take years and even then he could get away with far less of a punishment than he deserves.Torture him for a few months, give him a taste of his own medicine then burn him alive at the stake if you want justice, send him to hell where he belongs as do all the rest of the islamonazis.
From what I have been able to find (thanks to a serious lack of media coverage), Polish government officials are adamant that they have in their possession, active, usable artillary shells filled with sarin. The shells number at least a dozen, and claim that they are caches where more are located according to civilian sources.
So... What WMDs? ;-)
Just give it a couple of days...doesn't anyone have to read "Justice at Nuremburg" in school anymore? The Nazi leadership pulled the same charade for about three days...until it finally sunk in that it wasn't a bad dream,there wasn't some mistake, no, night really had fallen on the "gods".Goering, who had been especially defiant,seemed almost to be willing to overlook the entire affront, in the spirit of noblisse oblige, if the Allies apologized, and quickly!But soon it became apparent even to him that there was no mistake, that there was not going to be some daring eleventh-hour counterstrike that would free him, that it was the Nazi Fantasy Ideology, not Paris, that was burning.
That's why I'm so glad they got Saddam alive - and I hope he stays that way, so the world can watch (as we did with the Nazis then and with Milosevic recently)him slowly sink back into the violent fantasy that was his life for the last thirty years. I predict,(provided some American GI doesn't pass him a suicide capsule like they did for Goering)that he will vacillate between lunacy and outrage so embarassingly, so operatically over the next days and weeks that even Baghdad Bob will admit knowing him. In fact, if we can all roll back our lust for revenge just a little longer, he may single-handedly discredit the Pan-Arab movement beyond recovery - in our lifetime, anyway.
OOPS!
That should read, "...that even Baghdad Bob won't admit to knowing him."
Face it. Sodom Insane was one of the "good guys" in the worldview of the immoderate left: an ally of the now-defunct Soviet Union. The USA will NEVER be forgiven for opposing that state, trying to contain it, and, ultimately, bringing it down.
Saddam is already being "immortalized" as one of the good guys on the Arab street and in the press. We are the bad guys for removing a "sovereign leader." It doesn't matter how bad he was. No good deed goes unpunished. They hate us more than they do evil.
Again, patience is a virtue...give him a few more days, and the real "Saddam" will please stand up.
And he'll more closely resemble the "Saddam" of "Southpark" than of sovereignty.
