Saddam's French lawyer wants Rumsfeld, Kissinger to testify

<snip>In an interview on Sunday with private radio station Europe 1, Verges called Rumsfeld a "travelling salesman of toxins and chemical components" destined for use in Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction (WMD) program.


Rumsfeld went to Iraq in 1984 as a special envoy for then US president Ronald Reagan (news - web sites).

2. WHOOPS! I still cannot believe they were told to take Saddam alive.
the best description of rummy ever. what a wonderful start to these legal proceedings!

and this article mentions henry k, too.

welcome back to the news, mr. kissinger. a lot of us have learned about you in the last three years.

we don't like you.

we can't comprehend how you are not in jail.

we know you are still doing the worst things a human can do.

John Kerry in 2004!

12. saddam was DELIVERED alive....just to mess up bush* and his
Edited on Sun Mar-28-04 09:30 PM by amen1234
minions...they are wandering madly around Babylon....bush*'s cabal has no idea what they are doing.....

I sincerely doubt that rummy wanted saddam alive....look at what rummy did to saddam's sons....real horror show...blew them apart....and exhibited their torn-apart bodies on TV as trophy-kills.....real crusader stuff....

but the saddam 'capture' was just another bush* LIE....BFEE walked right into a TRAP....and now....amazingly....saddam has the Red Cross over there, a lawyer, and soon, the BFEE will be exposed for what they are...war criminals....KILLERS....friends of saddam and NOW, the madness of befriending Libya's kaddafi....it could be watershed stuff...

the saddam mess is just another bush* circus...bush* is incredibly incompetent...and right before the election too....the trial of saddam...AND no WMD.....AND bush* whole inner circle turning against him on all fronts....

BLOWBACK....

The Unknown
As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.

I remember cutting that up a day or two after he said it. This may have been one of the many indicators that Rumsfeld is absolutely mad.

10. Maximus Awesumus, big!!
That's a keeper! Here's another one of my favorites of Dr. Strangelove

Happenings
You're going to be told lots of things.
You get told things every day that don't happen.

It doesn't seem to bother people, they don't—
It's printed in the press.
The world thinks all these things happen.
They never happened.

Everyone's so eager to get the story
Before in fact the story's there
That the world is constantly being fed
Things that haven't happened.

All I can tell you is,
It hasn't happened.
It's going to happen.
