Saddam Sues Bush

Posted on January 25, 2006

In what one would expect to be satire, it isn’t!

Defence lawyers for Saddam Hussein Wednesday distributed copies of a lawsuit against President Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair for destroying Iraq.

The suit accuses Bush and Blair of committing war crimes by using weapons of mass destruction and internationally-banned weapons including enriched uranium and phosphoric and cluster bombs against unarmed Iraqi civilians, notably in Baghdad, Fallujah, Ramadi, al-Kaem and Anbar.

The Amman-based legal team had said Sunday that the ousted president intended to start legal action against the two leaders of the Iraq war in the International Criminal Court in the Hague, but the text of the suit was made available Wednesday.

The suit also accuses the U.S. president and British prime minister of torturing Iraqi prisoners, destroying Iraq’s cultural heritage with the aim of eliminating an ancient civilization, and inciting internal strife.

Bush and Blair were also accused of polluting Iraq’s air, waters and environment.

The lawsuit demanded that Bush and Blair appear before court to answer the charges filed against them and requested the harshest punishment in line with Dutch legislation and the rules of international and humanitarian laws.

It also requested compensation for all material and moral damage inflicted on the Iraqi people.Source

One has to wonder how long it will take before the ACLU files their friend of the court brief on this one.

    This is one of the funniest things I have ever heard. We should sue every muslim in the world for following islam and being descendents of mohommed, who started this war in the first place.

    Saddam has been following US media for years. He knows that suing is the great American past time. He is only doing what every other loser in our society does; sue the bast@#$s. This is the coda of the legal community.

    The insanity will continue when the plaintiffs in the NSA suit join Saddam, along with others in the professional middle east victimhood, and make this an international class action suit.

    They could hire the famous intergallactic lawyer, Richard Cranium to fight for their just compensation. Jimmy Carter will enter a friend of the court brief along with the coalition of Hollywood Bobble Heads.

    The American Civil Lunatics Union will join the fight, just because. Michael Moore will make a movie about it and Al Franken will join Air Arabia to pontificate and prevericate.

    Where is the sanity?

    OK, I’ll let him sue, once he brings EVERY single person killed by any one even remotely connected to his “government”, apologizes to all of their families (sincerely), destroys EVERY OUNCE of anything that is or could be use to make WMD’s within 10,000 miles of Iraq, and then admits that he had it, admits he killed innocent people, and admits he supported terrorism. Am I asking too much?
