In this July 1 file photo cleared by the U.S. military, Saddam Hussein appears in a courtroom at Camp Victory, on the outskirts of Baghdad.
CAIRO, Egypt - Deposed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is depressed and has begged the Iraqi government for mercy, Iraq’s Prime Minister Iyad Allawi said in an interview published on Monday.
“Saddam and his colleagues are not the giants that the media sometimes talks about,” Allawi said in an interview with the pan Arab al-Hayat newspaper. “Saddam sent us an oral message in which he begged for mercy. He said that they were working in the public interest and did not mean any harm.”

Just goes to show the biggest bullies are typically snivelling cowards at heart.

I'm not going to laugh at Saddam, not until Iraq is stable and free.

Oh, well, if he meant no harm.... Don't be mean to him. I'm sure it was all a big mistake.

OK, he's apologized, according to liberal dogma, it's all forgiven!

When's that trial supposed to start? It sure would be nice to see a reiteration of his crimes along with some nice evicence.

This trial couldn't come at a better time.
It reminds that no evil profits forever.

I had a dream the other night that I was guarding Saddam, and I was stuck in the same apartment with him. He was nutty as a fruitcake in my dream, too, and said things remarkably similar to what was reported here.
Do you suppose I'm channeling him (for the public good, of course)?

Allawi's portrait of toppled leader differs sharply from N.Y. Times report......
The New York Times needs to start working on their apology, much as CBS is doing....

Yeah, he meant no harm. Just a poor, misunderstood leader, working for the benefit of the people.
Here's a link.

Yep. It`s true. Look at Hitler, when surrounded he hides in a hole and then shoots himself after telling kids and old men to fight on for him. The only language these monsters listen to is force.

Since I don't read the Slimes, what did they say, "Allawi's portrait of toppled leader differs sharply from N.Y. Times report......"?
