Mr President - SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!

Both he and Clinton don't realize that their respective reigns of terror are over.

Saddam Scoffs at Charges of War Crimes: "I am President!"

Dictators like to expropriate the title of 'President.' It gives them prestige they do not deserve. Democracies have presidents, and democracy is a very powerful idea, that people have human rights and can decide their own destinies and are the true rulers of the nation.

[Happy2BMe]

Saddam studied Hitler closely throughout his years as "President" over the Iraqi people. Where is his inspiration coming from now?

Saddam Scoffs at Charges of War Crimes: "I am President!"

I guess he didn't see the logo on Kerry's plane, eh?

[RightthinkinAmerican]

He and our delusional Al Gore would get along famously. "I am the REAL President of the United States! George Bush is the real criminal!"

[thoughtomator]

Actually, he was "President-for-Life", and that life will be ending shortly, to the joyous cries of millions.

[BipolarBob]

Weeellll, it didn't seem very presidential when was ruling from his hidey-hole in the ground. Maybe thats what confused everybody. It's all just a misunderstanding. Give him a fair and speedy trial and then behead him.

[doug from upland]

And just think. All he had to do was declare and allow the dismantling of his weapons. Or, he had a deal that would have allowed him to take billions of dollars with him and head for retirement in a foreign country. But I have good news. He just saved a ton of money on his car insurance with Geico.

And tosay the great Yertle, that Marvelous he,
Is King of the Mud. That is all he can see.
And the turtles, of course... all the turtles are free
As turtles and, maybe, all creatures should be.

Delusional is right.... Maybe he's going for an insanity defense.

[Mike Darancette]

I was hoping to see Saddam doing the perp walk in an orange jumpsuit.

"You know that this is all a theater by Bush, the criminal, to help him with his campaign," the former Iraqi president said.

The above statement was lifted verbatum from the DNC talking point playbook.

[boycottliberalhollywood.com]

Let me see...

Saddam, in a fashional burst of hubris, declares he is still president of Iraq, that the trial is theatre, and that the real war criminal is George W. Bush.

So I guess Saddam watched Farenheit 9/11 too, huh?

[South40]

[Ruth A.]

Was he president while in the spider hole with the lice, too?

[Wolverine]

A coincidence!??!

Since America is typically represented by an eagle, Saddam and Bin Laden should have read up on their Muslim passages... The following verse is from the Quran (the Islamic concoction from Mohammed) 

Sura (9:11) -- For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace. 

Note the verse number!!!!!

[Joe_October]

It's the new thing for the 21st century. Claim to be President when your not. Look at Gore, Hillary, xlinton, now Hussein. It's so, 20th century.

[MJY1288]

That's the first time I have ever seen the AP put a disclaimer of "Cleared by the U.S. Military" on any picture.

Methinks it's because they want to undermine the Iraqi Courts, and put an American face on the proceedings we saw today

Saddam Scoffs at Charges of War Crimes: "I am President!"

Spoken like a true brat:

YOU WILL Respect My Authoritah!
Whateva!! Whateva!! I do what I want!
S*rew you guys, I'm going home.
I would never kill somebody...not unless the piss me off.

However, the turmoil of the past 14 months has led to some longing for the stability and order of the ousted dictatorship. "At least Saddam provided us with security. We have seen nothing good from the Americans," said Odai Faleh, a worker in Ramadi, a mainly Sunni city.

"May your chains set lightly upon you..."
