| Saddam Suffered Stroke |
| 2004-07-28 |
| SADDAM HUSSEIN has suffered a minor stroke, his lawyers claimed today. Damn! It coulda been the big one. And they said the former Iraqi dictator could die before he stands trial. Pulling a Milosovic. The multi-national legal team is still waiting for permission to see Saddam, but said they had information from the Red Cross that his health had deteriorated. But not as much as it is going to. Earlier this month, Saddam appeared in an Iraqi courtroom, when he was read seven charges against him that may lead to a formal indictment for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. Aha, that's what did it. No more court rom time, just leave him at his undisclosed location. Jordanian lawyer Mohammed al-Rashdan has written to Salem Chalebi, head of the Iraqi prosecuting authorities, on behalf of the defence team, demanding access to their client. He said: "Our information is he's in very poor heath. We understand our client has had a brain scan to discover how badly he has been affected by the stroke. We believe he could die because of his health problems." Mr al-Rashdan said the lawyers' attempts to see Saddam had so far been blocked. And he speculated Saddam's health could get much worse if a trial was not held soon. "We believe any trial could be months, if not years, away," he said. Wouldn't do to have him die without viewing the plastic shredder at work one more time. |

| #13 Another good thing that came out of the Iraq war. If it is true, couldn't happen to a nicer person. |

| #12 I'd sand paper his ass then pour kerosene on it. |

| #11 For stroke victims, I hear that an icepack wrapped in a ladies undergarment is quite soothing if applied to the forehead. Or was it an icepick? |

| #8 Instead of plugging him into health monitoring equipment, they should plug his ass into a wall socket and hasten the onset of a more dire health condition. |

| #6 AMEN JEN! Rush that boy into the courtroom ASAP, Convict him, and then swing him from the those twin swords on the parade ground. After a couple of weeks cremate the body and have the ashes dumped in a pig sty. A fitting end to that waste of a human being. |

| #5 Why don't they stick a screwdriver in his ear a couple of hundred times and see if they can fix it. He, he, good one. You win the prize today, #3, for "most imaginative" comment. He, he... |

| #4 Damn! Hope the dirtbag doesn't stroke out before they can hang him! Justice denied, that would be. |

| #2 The minor stroke was several days, or even weeks ago. They have done a CT-scan on his brain. Nothing important. |

| #1 is it: I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP... or HIS GUARDS ARE SAYING INTERESTING THINGS TO HIM |
