Al Jazeera claims: Saddam Hussein has suffered a stroke, his lawyers said today.
So?
How about DURING his trial?
I meant why hasn't he responded to any of the posts? I just directed it at you.
(15:30) Iraq denies reports of Saddam illness
In the words of Dick Cheney (no, not that word):
"Big Time."
All the better. No trial, no chance for an aquittal.
They let him play golf?
I can see how poetry could have that effect (time for a gov't warning on poetry books). And look what gardening did to Dom Corleone.
I was thinking the same thing, LMAO!
The DUmmies are blaming Bush?!? ROTF!!! Like the Oil For Food felons want Saddamn to spew....Earth to DU...
If it was as simple as a "take em out and hang em", I'd say sure, But I think it would be poetic justice (More like God's divine intervention) to save the world millions of dollars on his incarceration, defense and execution. He's squandered enough millions belonging to others to not have a great deal of glee to think he can't rob even more millions before he dies.

SADDAM'S 'STROKE'
Jul 28 2004
Ex-dictator's lawyer says he had brain scan and could die
Exclusive By Gary Jones In Amman, Jordan
SADDAM Hussein has suffered a minor stroke and could die before his trial, his defence lawyers claim.
The multinational legal team is still awaiting permission to visit the deposed Iraqi ruler.
A letter demanding their doctor be given access to the former dictator was yesterday sent by Jordanian lawyer Mohammed al-Rashdan to Salem Chalebi, the head of the Iraqi prosecuting authorities.
Mr al-Rashdan said: "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, 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," said Mr 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."
That information isn't coming from Baghdad Bob is it???
"It's all Bush's fault!"
I put on my John Kerry full body condom and went over to DU. That is exactly what they are saying.
In the words of Dick Cheney (no, not that word):
"Big Time."
Would it be rude of me in saying "I hope it hurt like h#ll!"
Can we shred him now or just make him wear panties in the ICU?
Saddam zotted?
I don't care about punishing him. The punishment waiting for him is far worse than anything we can come up with.
But I wont the trial to happen just so people can see his crimes.
has anyone mentioned WHEN this happened? All the reports I have seen suspiciously don't say when it occured. It could have been years ago. If so, big deal.
