Guest Arnold_OldSchool Report post Posted June 11, 2005 Saddam About To Be Suicided? They Are Getting Ready To Murder Saddam By Binyamin Dershowits, London 6-10-5 Hi Jeff, 'They' are ready to assassinate Saddam, there is no doubt in my mind about it. The standard procedure to eliminate Saddam would be IMHO the same as in Dr. Kellys assassination (1), Saddam will 'commit suicide'. A. 'They' must kill Saddam before his trial as they can not allow Saddam to expose details about his partnership with the Bush family and the American administration. Like Churchill had Mussolini and Himmler murdered, 'they' won't spare Saddam. B. 'They' must remove him for that reason, if he is the real Saddam. They definitely must kill him if he is not the real Saddam, in order to hide the fact that he is a double. C. All the above is 'elementary my dear Jeff', but when I saw thousands of articles(2) on Google posted by the Neocons this week, informing us that Saddam is depressed, I immediately knew that 'they' are preparing us for the eventuality that Saddam will 'commit suicide' or, perhaps, die of a rapid disease of some sort. D. Since when did the Neocons have concern about Saddam's morale ? E. And today, the BBC - which is a 'mouth peace' for the Neocons - had the audacity to tell us, that "Saddams lawyers say they have none of the estimated eight million documents relating to the case, and have not been formally told of the charges." (3) If that is not a clear admission that 'they' are not even preparing a trial, I do not know what it is. F. The Neocons are spitting in our faces by making a mockery of American Justice, by not letting Saddam even see his lawyers! "Saddam Hussein has been allowed two meetings with his lawyers since his capture in December 2003." (3) If Michael Jackson can see his lawyers everyday, why not Saddam? Saddam was never even accused of being a paedophile! Saddam never paid millions to parents of little children! G. And the Neocon BBC continues to make it perfectly clear to us NOT TO EXPECT A SADDAM TRIAL! "The complaints from his Jordan-based lawyers cast serious doubts on the claim that his trial could begin on schedule, says the BBC's John Leyne in Amman." (3) H. And just to make it clear to us that the Neocons are war criminals, the Neocons repeatedly remind us: "A spokesman for the legal team, Issam Ghazzawi, said recent pictures of Saddam Hussein in his underwear that appeared in the British Sun newspaper showed that the former Iraqi leader's basic human rights were being violated." (3) This is particularly alarming, since the Sun never showed us Michael Jackson naked! G. And just in case some of us lemmings are extremely stupid, the Neocons keep reminding us every day, that they do not have any plans to start Saddam,s trial. (4) Michael Jackson trial is almost finished, we need something top replace Jackson on TV. Saddam would be just perfect, should we allow the Neocons to deprive us of that ? ELEMENTARY MY DEAR JEFF, 'they' must eliminate Saddam fast before his trial, and before the Downing St Memo (5) make it perfectly clear that Bush & Blair should be on trial with Saddam, too. Jackson is really lucky. As far as I know, he did not have any business deals with Bush, so there is no chance that he would be assassinated. Beside, Elizabeth Tailor, Larry King and Jay Leno all testified that Jackson is a wonderful, innocent, idealistic, shy, guy. 'They' must be good judges of character, they must know what they are talking abou...so, SET JACKSON FREE! And STOP THE WORLD, I WANT TO GET OFF!

Justice 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2005 (edited) Perhaps he shares the same opinion? People of the same mind? Shocking. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow. Such tact. I'm amazed. I was simply referring to the fact that in the only two posts I've seen him post were both amazingly whacked out articles, and it'd be nice to see a defense of either. Or is the insinuation of 'stating your own beliefs than continually relying on others' too much? If you're going to masturbate in my face, at least have the common courtesy to use your own dick. Perhaps this is a better way to say it. Edited June 12, 2005 by Justice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justice 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2005 (edited) A. 'They' must kill Saddam before his trial as they can not allow Saddam to expose details about his partnership with the Bush family and the American administration. Like Churchill had Mussolini and Himmler murdered, 'they' won't spare Saddam. Ooooooookay. Someone has seen F9/11 a few too many times and thinks he knows something. B. 'They' must remove him for that reason, if he is the real Saddam. They definitely must kill him if he is not the real Saddam, in order to hide the fact that he is a double. Huh? E. And today, the BBC - which is a 'mouth peace' for the Neocons - had the audacity to tell us, that "Saddams lawyers say they have none of the estimated eight million documents relating to the case, and have not been formally told of the charges." (3) Because we all know that the BBC is such a neo-con machine. And I dunno if his name is some sort of joke on Alan, but if you can't see that everything he basically said in there was pretty much bullshit, I can finally understand why you have a hard time speaking. Perhaps you missed all of that, but it and his other article warrant, well, a more personal defense because both are stunningly stupid. (Though at least this one didn't include the 'Central Bankers' and 'Jews controlling the world' stuff) Edited June 13, 2005 by Justice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
