send him to any country that guarantees a public beheading. I want to see it

 

[colonel]

He should be tried by the Iraqi people.

Agree, but ain't happen

 

[dmcowen674]

They'll be a Trial that doesn't mean anything, he most likely won't be found guilty of anything, let go and be "elected" as a "leader" of one of those Arab Countries again.

Not entirely. The war will continue, and bin Laden is still in some cave somewhere. Mission is far from being accomplished. Sure, nice capture, but Mission will be Accomplished when our troops all come home safe and sound.

Yes, I was only being facetious.

On a serious note tho, I understand a Halliburton employee tipped off the US to saddams location and is already requesting his $35 million reward.

He is a political prisioner and should be treated as such. As of late Bush has yet to find any weapons of mass destruction or any ties to Al Queda. The congressional investigation has not found anything either. So we basically ousted a government on a blatent lie. Americans should feel ashamed at what this so called "liberation" has brought to those people. The real criminal is Bush himself, since he has purgered himself on countless occasions when discussing iraq and thier weapons. We have been in Iraq almost a year and still have no evidence he was producing such weapons, and neither had a vast stockpile of said weapons. Since we are not the becon of democracy, but the becon of subjagation. Who will eventually govern Iraq? A government that was picked out by the US? We have basically forced democracy on a people with little choice. If anyone needs to be shackled and ousted as a government we need to focus here at home. Arrest the entire conspiracy we call the white house since they have committed treason against the US and all its citizens. Still nothing has been done with the person or group that related national security information to the press. Bring back democracy to the US people, with a government we actually voted for.

Cheney?

I have to agree. It was an invasion based on rumor, and sponsored by lies. Athough it may stop Sadam's agenda, it will do nothing to stop continued bloodshed in Iraq. These people have fought for hundreds of years, and all we have done is join them.

If anything I can only hope it did slow down a nuke program.

well, this might turn into a long conflict, the problem is that the average man in iraq, also has been tricked into the US propaganda, of rebuilding iraq in a short time, rebuilding a country from the bottom up just takes a lot of time, and the iraqi ppls were not told of this, and expected life to turn to normal pretty soon, now that it shows that this is not the case their patience runs out, and more and more see the US army as occupants of their country instead of liberators. you cannot deny that the US has freed them from a dictator, but the next question is, what will they put in place. something like afghanistan ? the ruling clan leaders ? or will it truely become a "democracy", where the man with the largest wad of cash can get elected. only time will tell.

Yes- IMO he should be tried there first. However it doesn't HAVE to end there. I think the Iraqi people have the right to demand he be tried under their courts. I hope things are in place for this to happem though.

If this is really him, there is no way he should ever go on trial. He was elected leader of that country with a unanimous vote. Who the hell is the US to think we can capture a sovereign leader? There is ZERO proof at any credible site(such as the Guardian, Enquirer, Slate, Yellow-Times, etc) that says Saddam ever did anything remotely illegal or unethical. Bush is the real criminal here; he invaded a country and "freed" them from a harmless leader.

Man, you sure do start drinking early in the morning...

Saddam should be taken to US, cut some deal and suddenly there is gonna be news on how he could manufacture WMD in 45 minutes. Now all of the sudden the whole war is justified and Georgy boy is gonna walk all over Dean next year.
