The most sickening aspect of the trial of Saddam Hussein may be that an American, former US attorney General Ramsey Clark, is leading the defense of Saddam. Clark visited Saddam in Baghdad in February 2003 just before the US led liberation of Iraq (arguably in a last ditch effort to save the dictator’s behind), and Clark also defended former Yugolsav leader Slobodan Milosevic, as well as various other nutcases and warlords. Clark also called for the impeachment of Pres. Bush earlier this year (based on grounds that Clark hates America).

While Iraqi victims testified, a defiant Saddam belittled one victim saying, “Don’t interrupt me, boy.” He went on to interrupt and threaten the judge. It’s about time for Iraqi courts to learn the meaning of ‘contempt of court’.

Testimony against Saddam from victims were: “I walked by a room and … saw a grinder with blood coming out of it and human hair underneath.” “My brother was given electric shocks while my 77-year-old father watched. One man was shot in the leg … some were crippled because they had arms and legs broken. My brother and I were in the same prison for four years, just a few feet apart, but we could not see each other.”

In style typical of anti-war drama queens, Clark led a defence walkout over threats to the lawyers from the judge to control themselves - followed by a priceless “Oh, my God, where are my defense attorney’s going?” look by Saddam.

Meanwhile, another American committing intellectual treason (at best) Dem. Sen. John Kerry, known for his attempts to undermine the mission in Vietnam and testifying of atrocities there when he served, has admitted that he didn’t actually see those atrocities, but that, he insists, is beside the point. As long as he is on the losing side of a war issue, America is wrong and he is willing to sell her out for political advantage (which he has yet to gain, if one would flashback to the 2004 Presidential elections). Here is what the Senator said on Sunday’s Face the Nation:

Stay the course.’ That’s the president’s policy, which hasn’t been changing, which is a policy of failure. I don’t agree with that. But I think what we need to do is recognize what we all agree on, which is you’ve got to begin to set benchmarks for accomplishment. You’ve got to begin to transfer authority to the Iraqis. And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the–of–the historical customs, religious customs. Whether you like it or not…

(watch the video) It’s no wonder that 73% of US troops voted for Pres. Bush in the 2004 election and only 18% voted for Kerry, and this against bogus Democratic claims that Pres. Bush went AWOL from his military service and Kerry was the patriot. John Kerry should join Ramsey Clark on Saddam’s defense team.

Traitors stand on the side of Saddam and against the troops. Patriotic Americans stand on the side of victimized Iraqis and the US troops and the valiant (and often overlooked) work they are doing on behalf of achieving world peace, one evil dictator at a time.
