Saddam Trial

I am posting this on Blog America in a n effort to get it back up and running. (hint hint.) Anyway, please notice that this is posted on My Blog as well as here.

It appears Saddam is just creating a bad opportunity at being found innocent. Here is how the day at court happened. First Saddam started out yelling at Chief Judge Raouf Abdel-Rahman about how he was elected president. To this Raouf Abdel-Rahman replied saying "You used to be a head of state. You are a defendant now" When Raouf Abdel-Rahman tried to charge him of killing 148 Shiites Saddam ignored the question and read a prepared speech about how he was "pained" by the violence created by the Sunni-Shiites. He stated that they shouldn't fight against themselves but against the American military. At another point at the trail Saddam's half-brother was accused of signing papers authorizing the arrest of some of those Shiites but he claimed that they were all forged. He also at one point said that he killed the 148 Shiites because they tried to assassinate him at one point.

Well, I guess it really doesn't surprise me. How else is he going to come up with a good story about why he killed those 148 Shiites. He has to stall. As for Saddam's half-brother, his excuse wasn't that great either.
