Defense lawyers for Saddam Hussein released a letter on Thursday that he recently wrote in prison that attempts to persuade the American people to demand a troop pullout because President Bush misled them into the Iraq war.
The 5,000-word letter is a rambling treatise outlining what Mr. Hussein asserts are the false reasons that the Bush administration used to justify the war in Iraq, from weapons of mass destruction to Iraqi links with Al Qaeda.
Mr. Hussein blames Iran and pro-Israel interests for helping lead the Americans into war. He invokes the specter of Vietnam and the spirit of Mao Zedong, saying the Chinese revolutionary is “laughing in his grave because his prediction has been fulfilled and America is a paper tiger.”

Wasn't old shoeshine boy SAD-dam predicting just the other day that Bush would "beg" him to resume his duties as thug-dictator...ahem..."President" of Iraq?
Bwahahaha...when SAD-dam is mimicking How-weird Dean's talking points, it's easy to predict the future when you elect dhimmocrats into power.

Have some more Chee-tos and shut ya stuff up.

"In the letter, Mr. Hussein said he wrote out his message to the Americans by hand at the behest of Mr. Clark."
"behest" my a**....... he probably just re-gurgitated the list of talking points handed to him by Ramsey Clark.
SO now we have the perverse spectacle of Lyndon Johnson's Attorney General (Clark) working hand-in-glove with America's enemies yet again.
Saddam should have been executed in 2004, and he should NOT be allowed to issue propaganda statements through his "lawyers" - we are so frickin' weak, why do we let scumbag terrorists have their way with us so often? There should be nothing LEFT of Saddam with which Ramsey Clark could be making propanda......

The letter is dated July 7. It was handed by Mr. Hussein to Ramsey Clark, the former United States attorney general, who serves on Mr. Hussein’s defense team, said Rasha Oudeh, the office manager for Mr. Hussein’s eldest daughter. In the letter, Mr. Hussein said he wrote out his message to the Americans by hand at the behest of Mr. Clark. I suspect Saddam was taking dictation from Ramsey.

Expect the letter to be featured in the New York Times any day now, all 5000 words.

Addressed to the DNC and all MSM CEO's I suppose.
This as much as anything else should open the eyes of the bulk of 'clueless' Americans, but in the end it won't matter, too many Americans are too selfish to care about doing 'the right thing' like we are currently accomplishing in Iraq.
Screwy times we live in, IMO.

Saddam is appealing to the Saddamites again.
I guess he hasn't heard that his buddy Dan Ratherbiased lost his anchor chair.
Maybe he could appeal to Cindy Sheehan and whine about his two sons dying in combat.
