Some are complaining that Saddam is being given a "soapbox" at his trial for crimes against humanity...
But what do they expect...another "secret trail" on the discredited Cheney/Bush Model.
What the west is really complaining about is the very idea that THINGS WERE BETTER FOR THE WEST UNDER SADDAM!
Of course, Saddam made the "obligatory" denounciations of Israel and the Zionists...and for the Palestinian cause...ALL ARAB AND MUSLIM LEADERS MUST DO THIS...EVEN THE US PUPPETS THAT ARE STILL IN POWER IN THE REGION.
NOW POST-SADDAM IRAN HAS BEEN SO "EMPOWERED" THAT THEY ARE IN VIRTUAL CONTROL OF THE ENTIRE REGION... THE SHIA ARE ASECENDANT ALL OVER THE MIDDLE EAST...POST SADDAM.
OF COURSE SADDAM "CONTROLLED" THE SHIA AND THE KURDS WITHIN HIS BORDERS...THAT'S WHY THE CIA HIRED HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE BACK IN THE 70'S...AND OF COURSE TO FIGHT THE WAR WITH IRAN AFTER THE HOSTAGE CRISIS THAT BROUGHT DOWN THE CARTER ADMINISTRATION...
IT SEEMS THAT SADDAM'S REAL "CRIME" IS TELLING THE WORLD WHAT A MESS THE NEOCONS HAVE MADE OF THE MIDDLE EAST...AND HOW HORRIBLE THE "NEW MIDDLE EAST" IS FOR THE US, THE WEST AND FOR ISRAEL... ISRAEL IS MUCH MUCH WORSE OFF NOW THAT THEY WERE PRE-WAR IN IRAQ...
AND THAT IS VERY VERY HARD FOR THE WASHINGTON NEOCONS AND THEIR REPUBLICAN STOOGES TO ADMIT IN PUBLIC... THAT'S WHY THE WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST HAS BEEN REDUCED TO A SERIES OF MANTRAS...LIKE STAY THE COURSE...DEFEATOCRATS...AND MY PERSONAL FAVE: "WE CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE."
WHENEVER THEY SAY "WE CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE" YOU CAN BET MONEY THAT WE HAVE ALREADY LOST!!
SADDAM'S TRUTH TELLING SOAPBOX IS HIS WORST CRIME YET ESPECIALLY FOR THE MIDDLE EAST "STREET" WHICH IS GETTING GAVEL TO GAVEL COVERAGE ON THE ARAB TV NETWORKS...
