With Gore, Kerry, Edwards, Hillary and the rest it should be fun to watch the lunacy
yeah, we shouldda left Saddam alone..../s
'BAGHDAD: Saddam Hussein and his former top army commanders will go on trial on August 21 on charges of killing tens of thousands of Iraq's Kurds in 1988 in a military operation to force them from their villages.
Kurds, whose northern region is still haunted by the seven- month 'Anfal' campaign, have long sought justice and want the former president to face the death penalty, as he does in a current trial over killings of Shias.
Chief prosecutor Jaafar al-Moussawi said seven defendants including Saddam's cousin, Ali Hassan al-Majid or 'Chemical Ali', would stand trial in the new case.
All seven face charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Saddam and Majid face the additional graver charge of genocide, which also carries the death penalty. Saddam is currently being tried only for crimes against humanity.
'Anfal' meaning "spoils of war", is a term taken from a verse in the Koran that calls for terror to be struck into the hearts of unbelievers. Mustard gas and nerve agents were used to drive villagers from their homes.
The campaign devastated Kurdistan, and the mountainous region bordering Turkey has never fully recovered. By some estimates 4,500 villages were destroyed and hundreds of thousands of people killed, tortured or displaced.'
he’s labeled the “consummate insider.”
-I thought that was "communist insider"
Swaths of Stupid Senators.
We've got Kerry, Clinton, Biden, Edwards (former Senator, and it pains me to type that), maybe Feingold, and maybe a couple of others. Gore might run, and he's an ex-Senator as well. Then there are the governors and ex-governors like Warner, maybe Corzine.
It's going to be better than 04.
So Biden's in?
Excellent news for the Republicans.
Biden doesn't have crap.. he's like the Breck Girl... what's his name? Edwards!
Biden: "Still clueless, After Allll These Years"
Idiot 'brigade', not sure if brigade denotes a numerical amount...it was 9 last time around, maybe they'll make it a dozen soon, and 'dirty dozen' could be tossed around perhaps.
Some clown on my street actually had a Kucinich bumper sticker in the last presidential election.
so he'll run against Bush in the 2008 election? :)
This is going to be a riot to watch them eat their own....(popping popcorn, putting beer on ice) pulling up chair....
I guess Biden is not aware that GW Bush is not running in 2008.
Shhhh. That is a secret.
or is that too long?
Let's give Biden some credit. At least he isn't running for President because he knows he won't be reelected to the Senate. :)
