Saddam Hussein Marks 68th Birthday in Jail

[seriousstan]

BAGHDAD, 29 April 2005 — Ousted dictator Saddam Hussein marked his 68th birthday in a US-run jail yesterday unlikely to be showered with gifts — only the knowledge that Iraq has turned the page on his brutal regime with its first freely-elected government in half a century.

His Iraqi lawyer Khalil Dulaimi said Saddam — awaiting trial on charges of crimes against humanity — was enjoying “good health and high morale.”

But an Iraq Special Tribunal spokesman laughed when asked if Saddam would receive anything special for his birthday, and declined to say if would be allowed to watch television or call his family.

It is the dictator’s second birthday behind bars at a US base near Baghdad airport since his capture in December 2003 near his hometown of Tikrit.

1. Let him "await trial"

until the piece of crap dies there.

2. I thought he went to Sweden???

I don't believe for 1 minute that he is in Baghdad.

I bet he is siting back laughing at all this.

Planning his come-back.

We got rid of his 2 biggest threats to power, Uday and Whatever.

Now he is fully recovered (on our tab), and is ready for US to get out.

68 isn't that old when you are in good health.
