| Thousands Rally To Support Saddam Hussein In Bangladesh |
| 2003-12-30 |
| The mayor of Bangladesh’s second largest city organized a rally Monday in support of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. Nearly 10,000 people took part in the rally, waving placards and shouting slogans demanding Saddam’s immediate release and withdrawal of U.S.-led coalition troops from Iraq. "They didn’t find any weapons of mass destruction and that proves that the war was unjustified," said Mayor Mohiuddin Chowdhury. "Now they plan to put Saddam on trial - the world won’t accept such a farce," he said to cheers from the crowd at Laldighi Maidan, a public meeting place in this port city, 140 miles southeast of the national capital, Dhaka. |

| #2 AP, they would do the same if Saddam Hussein was a yellow eight-legged hippopotamus from Neptune. Anything to get the anti-American placards out. Very pathological and quite worrisome. |

| #1 Must be the arsenic in the well water. No weapons of mass destruction? What about the mass graves of hundreds of thousands? What about Billions in the public purse squandered by Sammy? Or does Sammy get a pass. These guys live in mental poverty, not just physical poverty. |
