I have this feeling that if Saddam wanted himself to survive he would have got himself out ver easily amidst the chaos in Iraq, yet once he was going to get caught by the troops, he could have killed himself and avoided all the humiliation that had followed, I am not sure whats the plan here, but that article shure shed some light on an area that I never looked at." The Hopes of Saddam."

If I was him I would stall until there was some way to call out the members of US admin who had part in the iran-iraq war nastiness.

From what I understand if bush and friends get busted for something it will require bush to pardon themselves, which will take away their diplomatic immunity=they are able to be handled by international war criminal tribune.

Then he can give bush and friends "dutch ovens" when they fall asleep in their cell together where they belong.

But our dreams are what make life worth living, right?

What Saddam is doing is setting himself up as a martyr if he is sentenced to death.
Or he hopes that he will incite so much violence the U.S. won't put him to death and he can hang out on our dime and wait for the revolution.

He's been watching the war crimes trials from Bosnia and is going to model his conduct at trial after Milosovich (sp?). He will be very vocal, defiant and will not recognize the court's authority. I think he is hoping US will pull out and the people will remember the good old days under his rule and restore him to power.

The trial judges should put him on a short leash and physically muzzle him if necessary.

 

[EagleKeeper]

He is still delussional in the fact that he believes this is a setup by the Great Satan (US) and that the Iraqi people still love him. After all, the Iraqi people are still resisting the US according to the news reports.

If he is to be judged by the Iraqis in a fair trial, then he feels that the Iraqis will not convict him for doing what was best for "his children". After all they adore him so much.

It is the Shite puppets of the US that are determined to punish him.

I don't think it would be considered a fair trial as long as there are foreign forces in the area / or he is being trialed by pawns appointed by foreign forces in the area, and that my friends is no illusion.

Saddam is up to nothing. He was reduced to a Jr. gangster by the Gulf war and he was just riding out his time at the top. He was nothing, he is now nothing, and he is up to nothing. He's just a convict waiting for the judge to drop the gavel and annouce the sentence.

Those foreign forces and ideals may be the only thing keeping him from a lynching.

Did we appoint the judges?

Martyr, so when he is sentenced to death, we will see violence that makes what we have seen now seem like nothing.

I read a book awhile back that included the anecdote that during the Iran Iraq war, Saddam told his subordinates to kill him if it seemed like he'd be captured, because he couldn't do it himself

It's just that I don't think a person should underestimate his opponent, Saddam was a man that knew what he wanted to do and how to achieve it. I don't think anyone can disagree on that, he was and still very cunning, but what did he intend to do by keeping himself alive I don't know, it just boggles my mind.

Eventhough there is no proof of what your quoting , but it does make sense kind of, becasue in Islam like in Christianity, if you kill yourself with no real justification for it ( i.e to prevent others from torturing you , harm you , or whatever it maybe) then you take the express way to hell, but ordering others to kill you isn't doing anything other than grabbing your ear from around your head. I don't think he was heading to heaven the way he was managing things around him, but I am not sure he looks at it that way, but that has to do with him thinking that he had to do what the harsh conditions around him made him do as described in the BBC article.

He'll be executed--the trial is for show. But, he was a leader of a nation, and did nothing wrong. He was a terrible guy, killing tens, maybe hundreds, of thousands, and tortured many, as well. But, he was a leader that has now been deposed, and under false pretense. He should do everything in his power to show contempt for the whole process he's going through.
