Al Jazeera claims: Saddam Hussein has suffered a stroke, his lawyers said today.

How many FReepers think this is a set-up to (second choice on Saddam's part) assisted suicide or (first choice) an attempt to delay the trial indefinitely ("Milosevic" it) because the poor dictator in chains cannot stand up under the strain of a trial?

Or the first stage of an escape.
Perfect movie plot, right under our noses.

[Searching4Justice]

poor Sadam inside that big cell and all alone with no women...I would imagine he has had several major strokes !!!!!!

[BossLady]

Yep...no women...no one to torture....must be lonely..... ;)

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Arkancide?

[Hollywoodghost]

The Bush people put something in his Muffins to make him have a stroke. That's so he can't tell about the deal he had with Bush Sr.

OR--- Maybe the French Secret service put something in his MRE's to do the same so he can't tell what France was doing in Iraq.

Whatever--Saddam will have to face a higher judge than any on this Earth. Call him God or Allah--I have a feeling where he's going its going to be warm--real warm.

Vote Bush--Vote Freedom

[The Raven]

This isn't showing up anywhere else.....is this a fraud?

[TN4Liberty]

Oh boy, here come the cover-up/conspiracy theories. Bush allowed this nice old man to die without benefit of family or friends.

I think his family and friends are all already dead.

[SanityFromTheLeftCoast]

Happily, G-d will do more to punish this man than we could ever hope to...

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Well said.

[Destro]

Milosevic has never had a stroke - Milosevic is actually denied a just trail -as criminal as he is - by the criminal UN.

[Ryan Tiger]

Fine by me if he croaks and I don't care what kills him.

[Doe Eyes]

Oh boy, here come the cover-up/conspiracy theories.

And where is Clinton? Conveniently in Boston. I smell an Arkanside.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Thank you. I am so sick of Freepers chasing off new people who could add a lot to the conversation, simply because they are new.

[KB4W]

This news is too bad. ***sarcasm***

I just wish he would have had a stroke and croaked about 2 years ago and saved us a LOT of trouble!

[etabeta]

I read the same this morning on Repubblica, an italian newspaper. I guess they have used the same source.

Link? LINK? Where's the freaking link?

BTW, welcome to FR.

[snooker]

The lawyer also said this ...

"His finger appears to have been wounded, possibly by gunshot, when he was captured," said Mr Rashdan. "But we believe his health has deteriorated.

I wonder if the wounded finger is the one he was pointing at the judge.

Just so much BS.

[smonk]

yeah, it happened last april.
it was caused by early onset 24th mechanized division.
