I pity the fool who tries to deny my right to a fair trial!
Facing execution by hanging, a feisty Saddam Hussein “scuffled” with guards at his trial and pleaded “innocent” to charges of murder and mayhem, although there’s no such plea. But Saddam has more important things on his mind, I’m sure.
Probably traumatized by years of raping, torturing, and killing his subjects, violating the inconvenient and much-too-annoying Geneva Convention, feisty Saddam indicated that a hands-off-me-scumbags approach was best:
The confrontation then became physical. When a break was called, Saddam stood, smiling, and asked to step out of the room. When two guards tried to grab his arms to escort him out, he angrily shook them off…They tried to grab him again, and Saddam struggled to free himself. Saddam and the guards shoved each other and yelled for about a minute.
It ended with Saddam getting his way, and he was allowed to walk independently, with the two guards behind him, out of the room for the break. (Source)
Smile, and the whole world smiles with you, Saddy.

Europhiles are already America-bashing about the Saddam trial.
“How dare these uncivilized people allow the Death Penalty – like the Americans?” etc,
These Europhiles have no respect for anyone else’s opinion – they believe Americans and Iraquis are just too stupid to decide for themselves what kind of justice they want.
Saddam’s swagger in the courtroom sends important signals to his followers.
The gallows, however will send a far more powerful message throughout the Arab world.
He was dug out of a hole. Now he sits in a cage. Soon, he will be both a martyr and reviled. But, ultimately, he will be just a memory.
where’s Osama?
you have to figure that years of acting and being treated as though he was above the law and that no one could or would ever tell him what to do (without severe consequence, anyway) have taken left deep, permanent marks on his soul.
the madness in which he thrived will not fade away. his grandiose hallucinations of himself may forever exist in his head.
as long as he walks back to a jail cell at the end of each day, i don’t care if he feels like he’s gotten his way because he walked out alone during a break.
This is my kind of justice: that evil people like him be tortured within an inch of their lives, and/or they are faced with their greatest fears, over and over again. Let him get a dose of his own medicine.
Hmm…can’t send this vulgar comment to your boss because according to your IP address, you’re at a residence. Probably unemployed. And lonely. And a loser. Too bad. – Admin
La Shawn,
I sure hope you plan on writing a book that includes those dirty and inappropriate comments! Those of us with filthy minds are being deprived here!
I can’t believe this nitwit has the audacity to plead not guilty. I’d like to know what he’s smoking and get me some of that! OK, so he thinks he’s not guilty. Let’s say he didn’t directly order the murder, torture and slaughter of thousands people. He’s at least guilty of knowing about them, allowing them to continue, and then covering up evidence of their existence.
Survey says: Guilty. Bring on the firing squad!
He is a dreamer and like all bad tyrants he is now walking dead.The only problem is that he doesn’t even know it
They need that little Abu Graib gal to go over and “dog leash” him back to his cell!
(talk about an ultimate humiliation)
La Shawn:
I was so psyched up for Saddam’s trial – one of my best friends here is an Iraqui Kurd surgeon. He has been waiting for this since 1974, when he escaped from Iraq.
But it was not to be – they delayed his trial to the end of November. I can’t wait.
Amazing parallels between Saddam and Herman Goering. Both swaggered into court, and both were so deluded as to think they still had power. At one point Goering demanded his golden riding crop back, stating that it was his symbol of authority. One of the amused GIs in his guard detail had to tell him, “You have no authority.”
There is a difference, however. My fervent hope is that Saddam leaves this world at the end of a rope, rather than escaping his just fate as Goering did by swallowing poison.
Of course, he was the dictator for years and took people’s lives with a grain of salt. No wonder this egocentric madman does not recognize a court judge. Thing is, his world no longer exists. Thank the Lord.
I hope this doesn’t turn out to be just a show trial for propaganda purposes, because Iraq is a tinderbox. We already have voter fraud allegations in the Sunni areas, and I fear the tipping point towards a civil war is nigh.

Well Cobra, the sooner they execute him the sooner we can get on with the other bad boys.
As for voter fraud, we’ve seen plenty of that in various S. American countries, Africa, Europe and even in the States. What else is new?
Ciao
I agree that it seems a little silly to bend to the wishes of this criminal. Too bad the guards didn’t taser his meglomaniacal butt and drag him back to his cell.
As to how this murderous bastard heads to the afterlife, it matters not to me. At the end of a rope or by cyanide…it will send a signal to the former members of his party…that the party’s over. Time to get on with things.
See you on the high ground!
