Is he still the President of Iraq in your eyes?
Do you want him free to rule Iraq again?

CD Hanks · Jul 3, 2004, 01:43 AM

No. Stop posting.

phoenixboy70 · Jul 3, 2004, 04:01 AM

yes, i want saddam free. he is a good, yet terribly misunderstood man. his numerous contributions to the world of science, politics and literature speak volumes about the guy's genius.

never has this planet of ours seen a more generous and kind man, loved by his people and foreigners alike. a just and strong leader. it's a shame that he's in prison and we should do our best to set him free.

FREE SADDAM!

careful there, phoenix - the right is sarcasm-impaired.

Yes.

Do you want him free to rule Iraq again?

That depends on whether anyone better can be found to replace him.

Saddam and his henchmen have been arraigned in court for war crimes.

Heads will roll.

Sharpen those scimitars!

Wiskedjak · Jul 3, 2004, 09:17 AM

Saddam being found guilty of the crimes which he's charged will not validate the invasion of Iraq. None of the charges against him have anything to do with possessing WMD, developing WMD or not liking the US.

Not really. I though ti was kind of funny. I had a good chuckle from it. If I didn't see the

I would have thought he was serious. But after seeing that it was a good chuckle.

Maybe Saddam is about as 'good' as it gets in the Middle East???

If that were indeed the case, the whole region is hopeless.

Maybe Saddam is as good as they deserve. After all, people in the Middle East aren't known for fighting for democracy or high-minded values, only backwards theocracies or falling like sheep behind their mullahs.

why? Because I said something you disagree with? There are others who'd disagree with you, yet are civil enough to hold their tongues.

oops.

That one went wide, deadboy.

Maybe you should look at the post again - not saying it's that clever, but you surely ain't, neither.

And when you post racist tripe, expect to get called on it.

Surprise, surprise.

Free Saddam!
That's what the lawyers say. Stupid fags.

I want Saddam to be in the electric chair, not the hot seat. And if that's not available, a lamppost, 200 2x4's with nails, and some fire will do.

The men in Berlin shot thousands of holes into Hitler's CAR. Would they give him a trial? Maybe not.

Anyway, the man is a Hitler with a big beard. Shoot him. Or give him the Mussolini treatment.

Spheric Harlot · Jul 4, 2004, 02:12 PM

Ah!

Thanks - I've been wondering what kind of an audience this thread (and some of the others) was originally targetted at.

Thank you for clearing that up.

No wonder I couldn't figure it out.

Tater Salad · Jul 4, 2004, 02:24 PM

What audience? The people who want to see him dead, or the people who want him free?

Why don't you clear that up?

Sometimes, Tater, there's three kinds.

And sometimes more than that.

I know, it blows your mind to try and understand, but maybe you can learn to live with things just being that way.

Tater Salad · Jul 4, 2004, 02:51 PM

Not really. If you are not for freeing Saddam, you're for keeping him. If you want him released, you want him alive.
It's an either-or outcome, so there is no other choice. He lives or he dies. Unless you believe in limbo.
I want him dead. Most people do. If you don't want him dead, then you want him alive.

If that is the case, I suppose it undoes the humanitarian justification for this war.

Tater Salad · Jul 4, 2004, 03:05 PM

If they act like that, they deserve it.
However, to be nice, most of the terrorists the media call insurgents (whom I call the enemy) are foreigners. Maybe Iraq has a border problem like us�

timmerk · Jul 6, 2004, 01:42 PM

Let's see - Bush made a mess out of Iraq, when it was much better before we invaded. So, like him or hate him, the U.S. should think about putting Saddam back in - after all, only he can restore order to Iraq at this point.

Lerkfish · Jul 6, 2004, 02:52 PM

no, but I don't think its in the cards for his return to power no matter what I think.
Saddam was a very bad man....he always was. Its just recently that he became a very bad man we had to get rid of. Before that, he was a very bad man that hated the same people we did...so it was ok.

As far as his fitness to rule? As we're discovering the hard way, Iraq is a pressure cooker of disparate factions that would all like to be in charge. Saddam was a very heavy iron-cast lid on that pressure cooker. Whether he was a good man or not, he did manage to keep things from boiling over internally through brutal will.
The only way a new US-controlled puppet govt. will be able to control the pressure cooker is to exert a similar brutal lid, OR take the lid off entirely and coordinate cooperation among the factions in a way that is both credible and universally acceptable.

Since we're sending Negraponte, he who organized death squads for us in south america, as ambassador, I think its clear we intend to install an equally brutal iron lid on the pressure cooker.

PacHead · Jul 6, 2004, 03:10 PM

I read about a convoy of one thousand lawyers who are supposed to drive to Iraq and protest the treatment Saddam is getting. What's that all about ?

Who do these scum think they are ? If we're lucky, their bus will hit a land mine or something. Certain people have their priorities seriously mixed up.

Saddam, who is responsible for hundreds of thousands if not more than a million deaths, and now you see all these maggots coming to his defense now.

Look at the way the laughable trial of Milosevec is going. Saddam's trial will probably end up being the same, a laughable OJ style circus of a trial.

You were right Spheric - it blew his mind!!

I'll give you a little help

"If you are not for freeing Saddam, you're for keeping him." - True and Yes!
"If you want him released, you want him alive." - ? but No and Yes!
"It's an either-or outcome, so there is no other choice." - Not True!
"He lives or he dies." - True!
"I want him dead." - True (for you)!
"Most people do." - Probably Not True (worldwide)!
"If you don't want him dead, then you want him alive." - True!

Can you figure out the third option now? It's not that hard!

Are you an American? If so, GET OUT.

You too (if you're an American).

Was that in reply to me? If so, you too can leave.

Hussein has killed more people than Bush could ever, and yet you hypocrites want Bush out of office, and Saddam back in power?

rambo47 · Jul 8, 2004, 04:18 PM

You can all speculate till the cows come home, but the simple truth is that Saddam's head will be free from his shoulders and that's about all. They're gonna behead him in typical middle eastern fashion. Personally, I say he's got it coming to him.
