And Al Gore thinks he won the 2000 election. The only difference between the two is Saddam has a firmer grip on reality.
Having Ramsey Clarke as his chief counsel should be enough justification for an insanity defense.
I Bahgdad Bob his new legal council?
Urges Iraqis to Unite Against GIs
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Saddam Hussein, testifying Wednesday for the first time in his trial, called on Iraqis to stop killing each other and instead fight U.S. troops. The judge reprimanded him for making a rambling, political speech and ordered the TV cameras switched off. Saddam began his speech by declaring he was the elected president, touching off a shouting match with chief judge Raouf Abdel-Rahman. "
Who's feeding Saddam information about how the war is going? Ramsey Clark should either have his citizenship revoked or be allowed to return for one of his 'Impeach Bush' sessions long enough to be arrested and charged with treason.
LOL
I miss Bob, too. Obviously Saddam does as well. Although, it may be that Saddam himslef was writing all Bob's material if his court statements are any indication.
I tell you, I am still Presi . . .
(bang of trapdoor)
The difference here is that Milosevic was on trial at an international court, and Saddam is on trial in country whose majority was severely persecuted by his policies. They're less apt to be concerned with drawing this out and more motivated to bringing this to closure. Notably, closing the noose around his neck.
Anyone else think of Goering when looking at Saddam.
Goering used to drink heavily was heavily reliant on pep pills and was generally regarded as a buffoon, but was always during the early rise to Power of the Nazis he was a shrewd operator. But too much good living was the ruin of him.
Under the Prison regime he lost that bloated look, and regained a lot of his sharpness and gifts for political oratory.
I have noticed in the pics that Saddam has also lost that bloated look and looks and acts a lot sharper.
