'Free Saddam or else...'

'Free Saddam or else...' 29/10/2006 17:19 - (SA)

Amman - Saddam Hussein's defence team has drafted a letter to US President George W Bush warning of dire consequences if an Iraqi court issues a verdict against the ousted Iraqi president for crimes against humanity.

In a copy of the letter received by AFP in Jordan on Sunday, lead Iraqi lawyer Khalil al-Dulaimi also urged Bush to set free Saddam and put an end to the trial which he described again as illegal and a farce.

"We believe that it is necessary to stop this farcical trial and set free President Saddam Hussein, and all the prisoners, because this is the only solution for your troops and your difficult position in Iraq," Dulaimi said.

"This is also the best way for the future of Iraq, the region and the world," he added.

He warned that a verdict by the Iraqi High Tribunal against Saddam and seven co-defendants over the killing of 148 Shi'ite villagers in the Iraqi village of Dujail could plunge Iraq and the region into violence. The villagers were executed after a 1982 attempt to kill Saddam.

"This decision will set ablaze anew the country and plunge the entire region into the unknown...," he said.

The Iraqi lawyer, who heads the Amman-based defence team, said the verdict due by the court was timed to coincide with US Congressional elections.

"There is an unfair decision that has already been taken by the court to eliminate President Saddam Hussein in time with the US Congressional elections, through which the US administration seeks to safeguard its position," he said.

Dulaimi also told Bush: "You will risk your troops who have lost control over Iraq and you will place in danger your interests and the security of the region."

I agree with him on one point. Its time to stop the trial...but then he should be shot and fed into a wood chipper while still alive.

The Iraqis will release him. I figure he'll fall about six feet before reaching the end of the rope.

And to add, I'm very pissed at the stupid Iraqi government. This should have been a week trial with hanging. What are these nuts, and I'm loosing faith in this Iraqi government, thinking of. No Ba@@s and these cowards are afraid to hang him for fear that some of his nuts that are left will riot. Damn fools not to realize these nuts are getting stronger every day.

It was a major, major error not to kill him on the spot when captured.

A cent jours situation is not now out of the question.

If they'd just killed him when they caught him, the nuts wouldn't have had time to cook up all of this garbage.

That should have happened 3-1/2 years ago!
Would have aved a helluva lot of time & money,
let alone lives.

Now, the best we can hope is that he is
found guilty and the punishment quickly
administered. Another suggestion...hand
him over to the citizens like the Kirds,
Shias, Sunnis in that order.

Antarctica, internal areas. Discovered and known, but otherwise fits the bill.

I agree. This drawn-out soap opera makes a mockery of what should have been swift justice. This is as much an-open and shut case as can be.

Saddam is fast building up credentials for a senior UN position, thanks to this circus.

The man must pay for his crimes against the Iraqi people. The only thing they need to do is speed up his trial and quit pussy footing around. The sooner he's executed, the better off the Iraqis will be. An evil man will get his just reward.

I assumed this was an ultimatum from the Democratic Party.

Not quite, their ultimatum also included the release of all prisoners from Gitmo and the "secret" CIA prisons, and the release of all prisoners held by Israel.

line them up and let one of our snipers use a .50 cal. Should be able to take out about 30 of Saddams men with 1 of those bad puppies from 20 yards.

The easiest way to solve this is for Saddam to get the same "heart attack" that the International Court used to get rid of Milosovic. Give him the heart attack and cremate the body immediately like the Kennedy's did with John-John so no one can dig the body up to examine it for drugs. Why do I have to do all the thinking for these people?

I made a lot more. Here's a few -and there's some on my FReeperpage, too. With instructions on how to make your own magnetic bumper stickers. You have to use magnetic because the cowardly left will only key your car, spray paint your doors or slash your tires when you're parked and not in it. Look up the name, "Alexis Fecteau," and you'll see what I mean. Please feel free to use any that I have.
