Good Old Saddam,

Hey folks,

"These puppets in the Iraqi government that the Americans brought to power are helpless. They can't protect themselves or the Iraqi people. The Americans will certainly come to me, to Saddam Hussein's legitimate leadership and to the Iraqi Baath Party, to rescue them from their huge quandary." So sayth Saddam.

Did we really need any more proof that this guy is nuts?

Good Monday morning to you. This is going to be the big news of the day. It’ll be interesting to see how it will play out in the Mass Media. Saddam Hussein ACTUALLY believes the United States will have to seek his help to stop the insurgency and violence in Iraq and open the way for U.S. forces to withdraw, his chief lawyer said Sunday.

According to Khalil al-Dulaimi who told the AP that,

"He's their last resort. They're going to knock at his door eventually." He said that Saddam is "the only person who can stop the resistance against the U.S. troops."

According to the AP, "There is no indication U.S. officials have considered seeking his help."

Are you kidding? Of course not. But this is one of the points I’m waiting to see if the MMD pick up and run with today. Don’t laugh, it is EXTREMELY possible that they will. You may even get some of the LWL crowd in there as well. According to al-Dulaimi ,

"The ongoing trial and verdict, which are already decided by Washington, are expected to result in the death penalty. The death penalty is political blackmail to pressure President Saddam to help the American forces out of their predicament in Iraq and to rescue it from the mess it created there."

The big bad Bush Administration is at it again. Taking the rights of Saddam, who is "innocent until proven guilty" away. They just want him dead. Bush wants him dead because of what his Father Bush Sr and Saddam went through. Etc. Can’t you just hear it?

I really do not think that there is any that are nuts ENOUGH to believe that seeking Saddams help is a pliable option, but you never know. I mean, if you try to rationalize it out, what’s the harm? Grant him a stay from the death penalty. He’ll be in jail for the rest of his life and unable to hurt anyone. Have him help speed up the process of cut and run,,,, I mean bringing our troops home. Why not ask for his help?

But you know folks, there are still those folks out there that truly believe that we should have never gone there to begin with. So if we should have never been there, then Saddam would STILL be in power. So if we are going to make it right, we should restore him.

Should be interesting to see how this plays out.
