Saddam to sue Bush and Blair for damges TO IRAQ
2006-01-26
Dontcha love lawyers? I'm all for reducing the herd - except MY lawyer , of course....
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.
"you bastards! you shot me!"
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.
ummmmmm how about Fuck off?
It also requested compensation for all material and moral damage inflicted on the Iraqi people.
By Uday and Qusay? Nope..by Boooosh. Nice thing is their client will be decomposing by the tim ethis actually is heard..still, it'll help on that "snuff" list for these mooks to sign up early and often. Start with "C" as in Ramsey Clark

#8  Based on the Keho v New Haven precedent, I say Bush & Blair defend themselves with an 'eminent domain' argument and build a tax revenue generating strip mall where the kiddies' prison used to stand.

#6  Actually, if he can get into a US court he probably stands a good chance of winning his case.

#5  SOD, cuz quite a few of us are sick of drafting responses to this kind of horseshit for a living, enjoy H&K's product line far more than Armani's, and are wondering when, already, it'll be time to rock'n'roll. I'd recommend going to the root of the problem: judges and law professors.

#4  They should tell Saddam, if he sues, they'll change his noose from rope to piano wire!

"The first thing we do, lets kill all the lawyers."

Taken out of context badly. However, need more proof why killing lawyers is a bad idea?
