Saddam tells lawyers he faces death without fear
Reuters ^ | November 5, 2006

Posted on 11/04/2006 6:20:29 PM PST by West Coast Conservative

A defiant Saddam Hussein shrugged off a possible death sentence, saying he would die without fear and the US occupiers of his country would leave humiliated like they did in Vietnam, his lawyers said on Saturday.

They said a jovial and highly spirited Saddam chatted with them for more than three hours about the violence in Iraq and mounting US losses just hours before an expected death sentence on Sunday in his trial for crimes against humanity.

"the US occupiers of his country would leave humiliated like they did in Vietnam,..."

Thanks to the MSM, the Dems, and the CPSU-funded "peace groups". Vietnam was military victroy. Battle for battle, the South and its allies won. The Dems and their fellow traveller's pulled support for the Republic of Viet Nam in 1973 while the North had support from both the USSR and the PRC.

Sorry Saddam. The DemocRATS haven't won yet. You need to hold off on your goofy comments until after all the votes have been counted and the fat lady sings.

I will bet that I could reacquaint him with the concept of fear in about fifteen minutes.

One goal of mine is to live at least one second later than you, you son of a bitch.

I'm starting to think that I just might do it.

This from a man who was found hiding in a hole in the ground from the Americans.

Isn't that nice. Jovial and highly spirited. Let's hope there's a spring in his step and a smile on his face on the way to the gallows, then dawning awareness that this is for-real.

One thing for certain, Saddam won't be spending the most of two decades on death row with endless appeals.

Saddam,
Yuk it up with Reuters while you can. I hope the rope tightens slowly. BTW, your buddies are literally getting "drilled". And having their stinking brains extracted with hot, frayed rusty cable.

Tell people that want Rumsfield out, that that's just what happened in Vietnam, the politicos started running the war. So if they want another Vietnam, then call for Rumy to quit.

I really want the verdict read Sunday--I heard his lawyers were trying to stall. Any word on that at all?

I had heard that his one request was that he be shot by firing squad instead of hung. Pretty sure he's going to get the rope though.

Hanging is a good start. Hanging, drawing and quartering would be a good idea. And while they're at it, they should do the same to Ramsey Clark.
