#1 I got your mercy right here, Soddom.

I'll be glad to personally administer it, too.

You do know how merciful women are, don't you?

#2 I give it two days before the Red Thingy Cross whines about this and demands humane treatment for a man who doesn't deserve it.

#3 Allawi said what he called Iranian interference in some Iraqi affairs did not mean Iran’s government was involved. “Rather it comes from some circles that support particular religious tendencies,”

That would be the government, such as it is, of Iran.

#6  He said that they were working in the public interest and did not mean any harm.

Remember this, folks. Anytime someone says their working for the greater good, this is what they are talking about.

#9 I'll bet he is distraught.

There is some film documentation of his crimes, right? Every frame of footage in which he is seen begging the international community for mercy needs to be countered with footage documenting his ordering the torture and killing of Iraqis who committed no crimes. That would be only fair.

#10 I think they need to set up a lucite cell in one of Saddam's palaces and charge admission for his former subjects to watch him go at his day to day routine. Remember the ending scene from Bertolucci's "The Last Emperor" where the former Chinese emperor lived out his days as a gardener in Beijing? Something like that might be fitting for Saddam.

#14 Saddam insists he is still the constitutionally elected president of Iraq

Saddam: "I feel for you, President Gore"!
