Sounds like Saddam is a poster on DU.

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.

The idiocy of the left is the only perpetual motion machine I've ever encountered...
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.
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!!!!!
:::Sigh:::
If you don't know what his crimes are, why don't you go ask an Iraqi, like the ones who got limbs chopped off and got dipped in acid? Why don't you try asking some of those Kurds who endured the gas attack--if any are left? Why don't you find out the real history of Abu Ghraib prison?
Go on, believe whatever Michael Moore tells you. You know you want to.
These same people would love to see our President convicted for the uncomfortable condition of prisoners at Abu-Garab(sp). Never mind that those who committed the acts are probably fellow Democrats anyway.
That's why it's in such great shape now. Perhaps Saddam was doing what he felt was justified to keep his country together. The whole story of Joshua was that of a leader who used incredibly brutal force to keep his country together. Maybe that was the only form of government that would work to unify a violent, warring, sect-divided country.
Oh, so it's the Iraqi people's fault. They were asking to be butchered, tortured, and raped by the hundreds of thousands. This guy has a tinfoil hat for his tinfoil hat.
