Charges that could have linked US-Saddam dropped in Iraqi "court"

Thorgrim · 01-08-2007, 11:21 AM

Defendants have said Anfal was a legitimate military operation targeting Kurdish guerrillas who had sided with Shiite Iran during the last stages of the Iraq-Iran war.

Saddam charges dropped
Judge Mohammed al-Ureybi, in his first order of business, formally dropped charges of genocide and crimes against humanity against Saddam

Saddam, cousin discussed mass killing - Conflict in Iraq - MSNBC.com

Quick, lets hang Saddam before he can talk in open court on national television about everything that occured in these kind of meetings

Well maybe in 50 years we'll fully know how much Reagan helped Saddam commit atrocities

They'll be lots of conspiracy theories surrounding Hussein. Don't get all excited everytime one comes up that may link him to the US.

Getting off topic here for a moment...why do liberals get so happy everytime a news story breaks that may possibly show the US in bad light? I've never seen a group of people that are so hateful towards America.

It's kind of like when you yell at your brother to stop drinking and driving

You don't hate him, you're just trying to help him so not only your family is better but your brother himself is better

Ofcourse someone in your family goes "oh let him alone and let sleeping dogs lie...don't be so critical of your brother, he's family...never cause family problems! What are you trying to do, destroy this family?"

In our case, the family member not caring about D&D is like the ultra-nationalist who only knows that we beat the british twice, won two world wars, fought the cold war and now terrorists...everything else is just "What are you trying to do, destroy this country?"

Sorry. Can't let you get away with that one. Apples and oranges.

we helped Stalin during WWII. Do you think for a moment we wouldnt put him on trial for warcrimes if we managed to catch him later ?

He was hung for other atrocities. What charges were left after his hanging...it matters not.

I heard a lot of legal experts talking about why killing Saddam now was a bad thing for the upcoming trials.

Now the world isn't watching and America isn't likely to pay or care about them.

No it's the same thing, you just can't grasp it

When you really love something, you get disappointed and try to change it, often by pointing out his/her/its flaws

So you're saying you're the nagging wife of America?

Nagging family member if you want to be cynical

But still, you always love your family, you only have one and they've been there for you since you were born

It's such an apt way to describe how many liberals feel about their country

Sure, here I'll pick apart the US when its in the wrong, but when I was in a bar in Montreal you'd think I was a flaming conservative because I will not stand when Canadians disrespect the USA

question answered.

Liberals get their power from making people think america sucks. Every time I turn around I hear a liberal talk about moving out of the country (but have any?

), or about how the country is going to shit, or about how society is eroding........... yes, these same liberals who think it's fine for illegals to vote are also pissed that our society is eroding. Go figure. Like you said.......

We probably did give him material and political support when we should not have. Which makes us all the more responcible to contain him and put him out of power when he contuniues attrocities. I thought he had dictator powers to justify all of this anyway? That's what I saw posted in the other thread.

That does not reach us to the giant leap of logic that a hand shake and some deals means we had some puppet like control over him and his government actions. That is so worn out in conspiracy circles it is pathetic. If only we had that mystical power we would not have so many CIA screw-ups!

And who said it's fine for illegals to vote? I have never heard anyone say that.

-aren't registered to vote
-aren't legal citizens
-aren't eligible to vote becuase they're felons
-don't live in the district
-already voted

the mere fact that I can go to a poll, tell someone a name, sign for it and then vote is fucking crazy.
