Saddam to sue Bush and Blair

UPI

Defence lawyers for Saddam Hussein Wednesday distributed copies of a lawsuit against President Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair for destroying Iraq.

The suit accuses Bush and Blair of committing war crimes by using weapons of mass destruction and internationally-banned weapons including enriched uranium and phosphoric and cluster bombs against unarmed Iraqi civilians, notably in Baghdad, Fallujah, Ramadi, al-Kaem and Anbar.

No problem. Write Saddam a check to cover the damages and place it with him in his coffin.

[rangerrebew]

Once again, Saddam has it wrong. He has to sue congress as they are the ones who gave permission to the President to take Saddam out. I'm sure the MSM knows the Constitution says ONLY CONGRESS can declare war. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif Right!!

[EagleDoc]

Wouldn't it be better to sue Osama? Seems like he is the real culprit here.

Saddam to sue to get head back after it is hacked off post trial....

[DOGKEES]

I’ve been corresponding with an army Captain in Iraq who is part of the effort to train Iraqi soldiers. *He is in a special position, dealing with Iraqis directly who in turn inform him what it is the Iraqi people are thinking. *Recently he wrote to me stating that the best thing that could happen is to get Saddam’s trail over and done with; and have him sentenced to death. *Once the Iraqi people are certain that Saddam is not returning to power, he feels there will be a turning point in Iraq, where the people will no longer fear turning in insurgents, and rising up against them. *

The trial should be held quickly and behind doors. *While I appreciate the arguments for holding an open trial—such ideals work only on paper and not in real life. *We live in a strange world today—where the media allows Saddam a platform for his inane accusations and propaganda; and even worse where we have lobotomized lawyers that want to defend evil maniacs like Hussein as being the “real” victim. *The Bush administration should wake up to the potential danger of allowing a three-ringed circus trail to proceed. *We should strongly advocate that the Iraqis hold a quick and closed trial. *Get Saddam off the front page of the press. Get him off the face of the earth.

WE used enriched uranium?http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif? Hmmmmmm let's see here; Saddam has always claimed he did not have wmd, yet his officials declared they would use wmd on our troops, now he says we used wmd and where is the proof of that insane allegation??? Could it be.......a freudian slip?http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif If Iraqi waters and air is polluted with wmd components, I guess he DID try to use them on us....which negates the worn out excuse that he didn't have them. I wouldn't put it past him to have used something against his own people, either, in an attempt to make us look bad. He's done that before.

Let him sue. He will rot in hell before anything comes of his lieing claims.

[jeeper97]

I have to agree with dogkees.
The sooner the Saddam circus is over the better for the Iraqi people.
Saddams' councelors surely must have some overblown egos...

[candles]

I agree on what is being spoken here, a quick trial and a sentence that is carried out quickly. In order to have a quick trial, they may have to tape his mouth shut and or tie his down in his chair so the trial can keep moving on.

[Rhear]

Well the way the trial is going Saddam is going to die of old age before its over.
Personally I think they should have gotten justice for the Iraqie people by filling the hole they found him in with bullets and concreted it over.

[lpara]

I have completely forgotten the name of that idiot lawyer who, RAMSEY CLARK! When Ramsey Clark got there, the trial took a downhill spiral into the cesspool that America often finds herself in . . . prolonged, tedious, money guzzling trials that go on for years and eventually people forget completely what the defendant did in the first place.

Can a US citizen be a PART of a lawsuit against the President of the United States or even take the side of the enemy, and not be a traitor? http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/no.gif Not during wartime, IMNSHO!

[thissong]

http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif No doubt the ACLU will be happy to represent him and bin Laden, when he's caught. After all, the ACLU is already suing to make the government let some radical muslim cleric into the country so he can accept a professorship at a university. Why wouldn't the ACLU take the case? Especially since the American taxpayers will foot the bill. The American liberal is the best ally the terrorists could have, and the ACLU is leading the charge.

[The Victim]

Dogkees has the answer. I often wonder why the authorities are waltzing around so much.

[rhvalen]

Could it be that Ramsey Clark will be his attorney??? What a ploy and a waste of good energy. I'm sure the demrats would love this. With Seedy Kennedy and Kerry leading the charge agains the Bush administration.
They should have shot Saddam when they took him out of that hole to begin with. Oh, that wouldn't have been the political thing to do, huh?

[lpara]

I think Ramsey Clark is already one of his lawyers.

http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tombstone1.gif Now is the time for Saddam's trial to come to an end with the death sentence because of his crimes against humanity.To me, God allows the death penalty when the evidence proves the criminal to be without compassion, merciless and ready to kill someone for no reason...and especially when the victim(s) are innocent folks. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tombstone1.gif *

http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/soldier.gif http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/unclesam.gif We ripped Iraq from Saddam's grip but our action will not be complete until he is publically executed and buried in full view of the Iraqi people. *Then, and only then, will we see the Iraqi people come together in complete unity and support us.

I don't understand why we should execute him. As we learned from the MSM in the Terry Shiavo fiasco, someone who dies of dehydration experiences euphoria http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif . Stop giving him anything that can be a fluid and he can be euphoric on earth and in allahland. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

No, we had to do the &quot;humane&quot; thing.

If a non-US citizen can sue the US government, then can non-US citizens sue Non-US citizens?

The the families of the mass grave victims in Iraq file suit against Saddam first, for wrongful death.

Once those, and ALL of those, are finished, he can proceed to disrupt our government.

The fool is GRANDSTANDING!
He has no (realistic) hope of regaining power, and hates his current position. *He has no life beyond the power and corruption and adulation (sp?) and control of people's lives that he held over the people of Iraq, and will continue to do all he can to get the attention he craves. *Megalomaniacs are like that!
I know of no reason to pay any more attention to him than that!

Can you just imagine what would happen if Suddam won his case, sued The United States and regained power, the terrorist winning the elections and we're back to square one again? Impeachment again Bush? This is where the liberal media seems to be heading, with the liberals leading the way. Hilary making comments about the Bush administration. The abuse of prisoners, yada yada yada. I'm sick of the whole mess, and they shouldn't have wasted a trial on a man like Saddam. A bullet in the head should have been the first call of action. Now, it's going to be a long dragged out mess. The terrorists are pushing our buttons now that they have gained control, and have decided that Israel must be destroyed. This isn't Bush's fault, this is strictly the liberals dragging their feets and causing turmoil at every step of this war. I'm beggining to think they want the terrorists to win, just to use this against President Bush. The liberals are making a fuss over surveilance usage, and we're at war. What are they afraid of, unless, they are supporting the terrorist movement. We had Ramsey Clark a democrat one of Saddam lawyers, sigh...unbelievable! Now, I can understand them listening in on his phone calls. If he isn't a traitor to the United States, then I don't know who is.

But that is just it, the terrorists DON&quot;T have control, that is what terrorism is all about. *They have no real power, no strength militarily to thwart the US and combined forces, so they peck at the fringes of our actions, trying to make us look bad. *In the long run, the only way terrorists anywhere in the world can win is by letting the media or other sympathizers of &quot;the cause&quot; talk reasonable people out of their resolve.
If that happens, only then will the terrorists &quot;win&quot; and &quot;gain control&quot;.

The Palistinian vote last week will be the real test of this sort of thing: Can they rule like reasonable people?

[QUOTE]The Palistinian vote last week will be the real test of this sort of thing: Can they rule like reasonable people?

Well, when they say they want to destroy Israel as reasonable thinking...I think they have been out in the sun too long and their brains are fried. We can't continue to police the world into our way of thinking. Time to take the kid gloves off and do what needs done over here. Put up more refineries, and drill our own oil so we're not dependent on other countries. Take care of our borders and deport illegal aliens. I think our patience is getting a little too thin thinking we can reform other countries into our way of life. Israel is at risk and they have proven they can take care of what needs to be done over there. I can't understand a country that won't stand up and fight their own battles. It's been long enough insisting our troops to continuing losing their lives. If our troops go through basic training and then get set off to other countries to battle their wars, then the Iraqi troops have more than had enough time to get trained and pick up their own guns to use against the terrorist over there. Would anyone be surprised if those same Iraqi soldiers used their guns against our soldiers? Anyone wearing a mask over their heads carrying weapons should be shot on sight. I really don't think they are policing their own people. I think they are just waiting until we pull out of that country and the chaos will start all over again.

[Loribme]

True, we cannot nor should we police the world. True, we cannot nor should we NOR do we WISH to conform world views to ours. However, it is not unreasonable to expect civility when dealing with other nations. Terrorists do impede that progress, yes, but a bigger obstacle in that goal isn't the terrorists-it's the UN!

[QUOTE]Terrorists do impede that progress, yes, but a bigger obstacle in that goal isn't the terrorists-it's the UN!


[B]The UN is such a farce. The United States puts more money into this than any other country. The UN is like the demorats, they do and accomplish nothing. When you say we should expect civility when dealing with other nations, when they don't know how to show civility. Their idea is to blow up what they can't have. You can't change minds like this. The UN expect the United States to keep pouring in the monies, but at what expense? The United States should stop all monies to terroist countries. period.

[Loribme]

I'm not gonna argue that, valen!
