Drudge: Crazy Saddam: Americans Might Reinstall Me As President!
2006-06-24

Saddam Hussein believes the Americans may reinstall him as president of Iraq, the NEW YORK TIMES is planning to report on Sunday, newsroom sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

Saddam Hussein has no illusions, his chief lawyer says. As he sits in his prison cell reading the Quran and writing poetry, he knows the inevitable is coming -- a death sentence handed down by the Iraqi court trying him for crimes against humanity.

Yet Saddam refuses to submit to the fate that awaits him, Khalil al-Dulaimi, said, for he believes there is a way out. President Bush will use the court's sentence as leverage to try to persuade Saddam to tamp down the insurgency, he said, so desperate are the Americans to stanch their losses.

Saddam believes the Americans might even reinstall him as president of Iraq.

#7  Unfortunately, he may be dead on - remember, Amer's enemies, to include but not limited to Anti-Amer Americans, want America controlled and suborned under Socialist-Communist World Order-OWG, and at any price, by any means necessary. MOTHERLY ANTI-AMER AMER + DITTO GLOBAL SOCIALISM-COMMUNISM and TOTALITARIANISM is the DemoLeft's answer to defective, errorful, mistake = wilful mere Male Brute Authoritarianist GOP-Rightist Fascism, i.e. Ultra-Right/Rightism-based SOCIALISM. CLINTONISM > FASCISM = DE-REGULATED = PRO-COMPETITION [but still Govt-centric] COMMUNISM or LEFTISM-SOCIALISM. Dubya > Hated despicable Nazi Bushitler = also well-meaning but misguided <> warmongering imperialist Americanist Westernist Corporatist DemoCapitalist HalfCommunist/Half-A-MarxistStalinist!? Amer Hiroshima/new 9-11's > GOP-America-caused/blamed = Saddam MIGHT = COULD BE INNOCENT thanx to US "conspiracies" ergo releasing Saddam is the price America gets for its anti-Motherly, anti-Leftist "arrogance". anti-US, anti-Dubya-GOP NEW 9-11's = "Righteous/People's/Global Resistance agz USA + US-only Tyranny" = also COUP D'ETAT worthy of Oliver Stone. FAILED LEFT(S) > AMERICA AND ONLY AMERICA MUST PROVE IT IS NOT AT FAULT FOR EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING, ESPEC FOR THE FAILURES OF THE LEFT.

#5  I know it's out-of-the-box....but I still think we could get some mileage out of the old bugger if we parolled him and got Halliburton to hire him as a consultant for internal security in Iraq. Hire Blackwater to keep a short leash on him. A one year, cost plus contract... contingent upon explusion of foreign fighers and Al-Quida. Peace would break out in less than a week, troops could come home, and we could lock Saddam back up at Eglin AFB or the Federal facility in Marion, IL to write his memoirs, smoke Cohibas, and watch the Sopranos.

#3  If you can give the NYT credit for one thing, it's coming up with a million and one ways for repeating their mantra, Bush failing so bad that crazy Saddam thinks he might be asked be put back in charge "to tamp down the insurgency, ... so desperate are the Americans to stanch their losses."

Points for creativity on this one. Plus it taps into the up the ol' It's America's fault Saddam got to power in the first place

Bravo.

#2  He's partially right.

We're willing to install him as president. IN HELL.
