Saddam mocks accusers in court
 
From a BBC News article:
Quote:

"Under what law am I being tried here?" he asked the judge towards the end of the session.

When he was told that it was Iraqi justice, he mocked the judge and the proceedings.

Did he have a law certificate, the accused asked, and since when had he been recognised as a judge - before the occupation of Iraq or afterwards?

"Since the days of the previous regime until now," the judge replied, explaining that the former US-led occupation administration had asked him to hold the trial.

Saddam then laughed: "You are trying me by order of the invasion forces. By what law are you trying me?"

"I am trying you in accordance with the Iraqi law," the judge said.

"Then you are trying my by the law that I enacted," Saddam Hussein replied. "You are trying me by a law that I approved and ratified."

just shoot the pigf*cker and move on already. on second thought, let the world listen to the buffoon.

Cyber Wolf 07-02-2004 02:07 PM

Yeah, let's listen. The blithering of an old deluded fool is always good for some laughs. Besides, after all he's had to endure in the past year and some months, I don't think he's quite right in the head anymore and that should prove entertaining as well.

lookout123 07-02-2004 02:09 PM

i'd be willing to bet that he wasn't playing with full deck for a very long time.

that's good wolf. you're probably only a couple of steps in front of bush's campaign people. they were probably up all night trying to work this one in somehow.

wolf 07-02-2004 02:39 PM

Actually, thanks go to my friend Bill. He made it this morning.

Maybe they will put it in next to the Hitler image the Republicans are running along side of Kerry in their ads.

That would be nice. Make sure everybody is down to the same low-life common denominator.

I say shoot 'em all...Saddam, Bush, Kerry and anyone else that actively seeks office.

We need a lottery where people are forced to serve their country. Sort of a political draft, only you don't get out of it because you have flat feet or are queer.

Anyone who wants to be President of the USA is inherently untrustworthy.

Signed,
Patrick
President of the Heartland Spiritual Alliance :D

marichiko 07-02-2004 07:11 PM

Couldn't agree with you more, Patrick! But what if they drew MY name? Frightening thought.:eek:

blue 07-02-2004 07:15 PM

That must be a myth, cause I have absolutely no fucking arch whatsoever in my feet, standing at attention for hours was a bitch!

Thats what assasinations are for Marichiko.

marichiko 07-02-2004 07:19 PM

:p Thank you. I feel much better now, Blue.

although the interesting point I'm looking forward to is when/if he goes on the stand to defend himself... as ought to be allowed by law... I think there's going to ba alot of dirty laundry aired at that point (sure sure... how much of it is true? and how much of it is just trying to 'fan the flames' (or will be).. somehow I'm guessing 'something' will happen to him before that is allowed... *adjusting tin-foil hat*

Bullitt 07-09-2004 12:49 AM

Watch out world, here comes Bullitt!
 
Man o man the US, and world for that matter better hope i'm never president. Can we say, buh-bye Isreal, you can handle your own goddamn problems from now on. You'd think they would take it as a hint that the day they create their lil country they get invaded that they aren't and never will be welcome there. period. they don't belong there and thats it. its akin to the crusades from way back in the day if you think about it. except the crusaders this time have a huge technological advantage over the arabs.

Lets see what else.. oh, i'd tell the fcc to go f' itself over clear channel, i'd cut funding to skunk works out in nevada to get social security back on its feet (which isnt a half bad idea...), oh and one more thing, i'd say "f you germany give us back our war dues which yous till owe us caus ei think if i'm not mistaken that your economy is back on its feet. since its had since 1947 to do so.

sorry for whining so much, guess its not in my nature to keep my opinions to myself

god i can't type. don't ever get your kids "Mario Teaches Typing" it failed me horribly....

Undertoad 07-09-2004 07:43 AM

Yer right bullitt... they should just abandon Israel and the millions of Jews who left the various Arabic countries to go live in Israel through the last century should just return to those places.

Oh wait they don't have the right of return.

This is complicated.

smoothmoniker 07-09-2004 12:36 PM

Couldn't we just move Israel somewhere? Like the Dakotas, no one's using that. We could build them a new dome of the rock, they can finally stretch their legs abit and build that temple they've been saving up for. And it's a much further walk from Gaza to Bismark when you're 12 and have essplosives strapped to you ...

There are already more Jews in this country than in Israel. I personally feel that Israel's population will eventually shrink until it is a heavily guarded compound around just the sacred spot itself, and an economy based only on tourism. Everyone else will move to NY.

jaguar 07-09-2004 01:25 PM

SM: They were first going to build a jewish state somewhere in Africa, I beleive there are still communities that remain from that experiment.

elSicomoro 07-09-2004 06:56 PM

IIRC, Uganda and Argentina were discussed as possible sites back in the day.

bluesdave 07-09-2004 09:38 PM

The Jewish people don't really need to stay in Israel, they already have a perfectly good Jewish state; modern, great public facilities, great shopping, great entertainment. It's called: New York City! :biglaugha
