| Asshat. Hat tip Protest Warrior The leader of the Danish Republican Party, Sooslashren Mosegaard has invited Saddam Hussein to seek political asylum in Denmark. In a statement conveyed to Al Bawaba via email, Mosegaard said the offer is "on behalf of the Danish people." Who would be very pissed indeed were Saddam to get asylum there. "The Danish Republican Party does not sympathize with Iraq’s former regime. But we do believe that everybody - even Saddam - is entitled to protection from inhumanly punishment," the statement of the Danish politician added. "Inhumanly punishment?" According to the danish law, as an asylum applicant in Denmark, Saddam Hussein can not be extradited to USA or other countries who employ torture or death penalty, the statement added. Or incarcerated, for that matter. |

| #6 Mr. Mosegaard is a frothing loon and the "head" of a one-man party. His message was sent to, guess who, al-Jizmeera, which is how it managed to get the coverage it did. The full scoop on him can be found in the update and comments to this post. You really SHOULD know better than to believe anything coming out of Albawabalabadabbadabbadoo-ding-dong. |

| #4 This strikes me as quite odd. The Danes were part of the coalition, patrolling lanes in the Gulf and the rivers. They even fired shots in anger for the first time in who-knows how long. Something tells me this would be equivalent to an offer from, say, the World Worker's Party in the United States making the same offer on behalf of the people of the United States. |

| #3 "Unhumanly punishment" -- like the government-run rape squad? Or the shredder? Or gassing? Or being hung from hooks? Or... A simple hanging, lethal injection, or electrocution is a million times more humane and less painful and protracted than Saddam deserves. God willing, we'll locate him and he'll be gutshot while he's resisting. |

| #2 Denmark isn't a huge country to search like Iraq. And it doesn't have a military. At least not one that we can't wipe out with a squad of Apaches. |

| #1 So if Sadaam came back into power, he would not be able to extradite himself from Denmark. |
