Al Jazeera claims: Saddam Hussein has suffered a stroke, his lawyers said today.
"If he dies, he dies".
- Ivan Drago
Ok ... just as long as the POS rots in hell
It's hard for vampires to feed in prison...isn't it Saddam! ;)
There's a world of difference between the two cases.
I agree.
I might need to celebrate this...
Good grief. Ever wonder why people stay away from FR? Could it be because if they are new they get attacked? Yesterday Ooopaloompadoompadeedo signed on and was able to totally debunk a completely false and made-up NewMax story and he was accussed of being a troll.
Well for all of you who don't think that new people should post....here's the story WITH A LINK.
Lawyers: '\'Saddam suffered minor stroke'\' 28-07-2004, 18:54
Saddam Hussein has suffered a minor stroke and could die before his trial, his defence lawyers told a British newspaper.
The multinational legal team is still awaiting permission to visit the deposed Iraqi president, the Mirror said Wednesday.
A letter demanding their doctor be given access to the former president was sent by Jordanian lawyer Mohammed al-Rashdan to Salem Chalebi, the head of the Iraqi prosecuting authorities.
Al-Rashdan told the daily: "Our information is that he's in very poor health. We understand from the International Committee of the Red Cross that our client has had a brain scan to discover how badly he has been affected by the stroke. We believe he could die because of his health problems.
"We also think an attempt may be made on his life.
"We're very worried that we won't have a client to defend." He added: "Under the Geneva Convention we're entitled to have access to our client. But all our requests have been ignored."
In a form letter delivered by the Red Cross in January to his wife Sajida, now living in Qatar, Saddam put a cross in boxes for "good health" and "slightly wounded".
"His finger appears to have been wounded, possibly by gunshot, when he was captured," conveyed Rashdan. "But we believe his health has deteriorated.
"We believe any trial could be months, if not years away - I think Bush and Blair would be happier if he died from ill health."
...may he burn in hell.
There was a Canadian journalist who dided of a "stroke" (from a blunt instrument to the head) in Iran not long ago. In fact it was earlier this week that the Iranian court determined that the Goverment would just pay the blood money to his relatives and forget the whole thing.
After the Abu G. prison propaganda campaign against the US, I am sure that nothing we say or that the Red Cross would say will make any difference to world opinion.
On the otherhand a few despots may wonder if Bush just didn't have the guy "off'ed" which could cause other dictators to clean up their act. GOT THAT NORTH KOREA!
Hope he hangs on.
I was hoping that cause of death was a 9mm brain anuerism brought on by rapid onset lead poisoning.
Before or after they fed him into the wood chipper?
Geneva Convention? What Geneva Convention? The former "president" of Iraq is not a prisoner of war, he is a criminal defendant being held by the government of Iraq.
Why would anyone believe claims from Al Jazeera???
Lies all Lies. Gonna try and Machiavelli his way outta this.
It would be lucky for a lot of people...especially if he was found 'not guilty', or sentenced to anything less than death.
Amen to that!
Correct..it has been a very long time since a head of state was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death on a world visibility court.
Bush's boys fed him too many muffins.
Hey, I just read this! NO FAIR! FOUL! HE'S CHEATING!
