Handcuffed in His Former Palace, Saddam Defiant
A video grab shows Iraq's deposed dictator Saddam Hussein appearing before an Iraqi tribunal in Iraq on July 1, 2004. Downcast but defiant, Saddam refused to recognize its authority and said the 'real criminal' was U.S. President George W. Bush.

Saddam Hussein defending his attack on Kuwait:

"They were trying to turn Iraqi women into prostitutes for just $10," he said. "How could you defend those dogs?"

Sounds like Saddam is a poster on DU.

Here is one of their posts this morning:

Original message
I'm going to consider Saddam innocent until proven guilty


I don't know what his crimes are. I don't know whether he did things alone or with US or international backing. I don't know which acts of torture he OK'd and which were done by "bad apples" in his army. I would like to know if he hurt his own people, and whether his reasons were similar to the reasons we killed innocent Iraqis. I don't see any reason to want him convicted until I know he's guilty.

And another thing that comes across in his testimony--if planes had hit buildings in Bagdad, he wouldn't have sat there reading a book for seven minutes.

Look for the Dims and the media to shamelessly adopt this mantra. Heck, they already have, as we all know (substitute Saddam for the anonymous Arab in the cartoon below):

Maybe he will get off with a insanity plea?

The AP lied and violated protocol by saying he arrived in handcuffs and chains and gave away the location of the proceedings. The media was told not to give away the location, and all the networks said he was not handcuffed or chained.

Next thing you know, the AP will reveal the judge's name.

The idiocy of the left is the only perpetual motion machine I've ever encountered...

Saddam is starting to sound like a serious candidate for the Democrat VP slot...

Great cartoon; that pretty much sums up the religious left.

Perhaps AP is trying to get him killed? It WOULD make a heckuva story.

So, the rats are going to hang their hat on the fact that you can't punish a sovereign leader.

So, Allawi can execute Saddam without question.

And, the implications on the rat strategy in the US don't go so well for the rats.

Saddam is playing to the Western media, to the left. Before this is over, the media would have you believe that it's Reagan and Rumsfeld and Bush on trial.

Saddam also declared that the country's occupiers could not strip him of his title of president.

Every chance they get, the court should refer to him as the "deposed ex-president of Iraq". Rub it in.

The protocol was set up by the new interim government and our military. The secrecy of the judge's name, and the location of the trial proceedings is to protect everyone involved, including Saddam Hussein from being killed by some nutcase with a bomb, or Saddam loyalists that still lurk among the populace in Iraq.

Words fail me to see the Bush hatred on the left. I am glad that the server here blocks DU. I can't stand to read their trash. At least this one doesn't use the F word.

I can't stand these celebs - Saddam today said that he hates GW Bush AND THAT HE IS THE REAL CRIM - hmmm...it's the same thing these rich movie stars say also.

Have you noticed...the terrorists want Kerry to be elected and the rich left wing Hollywood stars want Kerry to be elected also!

Islamofascists and leftist stars share the same goals! Nice. How times have changed from WW2!

This traitor gives Saddam Hussein more benefit of doubt than President George W. Bush! The scumbag gasses his own people and this person is willing to defend him by saying maybe it was done by "bad apples"??? This DU idiot compares what Saddam did to his own people & Kuwait to our liberation of Iraq? This is one of the enemies within our own borders. Amazing!!!!!

The real criminal is (U.S. President George W.) Bush

Straight out of the Michael Moore playbook.

"The real criminal is (U.S. President George W.) Bush," Sadman said.

OMG, he's been given an ACLU lawyer, and he's been talking to Katie Couric and Mikey Moore....
