Saddam Hussein has suffered a stroke.

Yes, that would absolve all from the responsibility and potential repercussions. It was God's doing.

[Tunehead54]

Why would you post this and not reply?

I think you want to ask nycfan (who posted this thread) this question? ;-)

Why don't you calm down. I never attacked this person here for posting this story, I simply said that I wanted to wait to hear it from a more reliable source than Al-Jazeera was all, sheesh.

So it looks as though his lawyers are saying he has suffered a minor stroke and could die, and perhaps they're actually even telling the truth.

I guess eating all that Spam while in the rat hole got to his heart.

No matter how long you've been registered here, links aren't a posting requirement.

True. I didn't come explicitly say the info is fake, but it looked like it. First day registry, no link, no verbatim text from the putative link but a seeming recounting, brief here, via the poster's own words.

All good signs of a disruptor or prankster in the past.

Turns out the story was true. Link or not, the poster could have cut and pasted the story text here. Beats me why not.

This is what the top Mafia guys do. They have a phony stroke or heart attack before the big trial in order to delay it.

[KQQL]

WHO CARES.

[GSlob]

By the balls!

[The_Media_never_lie]

Maybe he couldn't take the old undies on the head treatment?

Good.

Good.

He won't wiggle as much when he is strung up in Firdos Square.

Can Sodium Pentathol give you a stroke?

[The Raven]

Somebody slipped him a pill

[ThomasMore]

It's all Bush's fault!

LMAO!

[b4its2late]

No doubt, GWB will be to blame.....

[b4its2late]

...may he burn in hell.

I'll second that....

[GraniteStateConservative]

How's that a cover-up or conspiracy? The real deal is that Bush himself gave Saddam chemicals intravenously that would cause a stroke so Saddam wouldn't reveal to the world that everything Michael Moore has said is true!

[mountn man]

Al Jazeera claims: Saddam Hussein has suffered a stroke

I claim: Saddam Hussein is a stroke
