#1 How about a credible trial of Canadian, French and German politicians for complicity in crimes against humankind?

#2 Uh Paul, nobody asked you for your opinion.

#3 The obvious response is, who GIVES a damn what canada wants? I seriously doubt paul was on the list of world leaders Dubya was calling this morning. Dubya should drop a "you're missing a good opportunity to keep your mouth shut" on him.

#4 Didn't the US just give the finger to O Canada concerning the rebuilding contracts? Doesn't he know he isn't and member of the coalition in Iraq.....

#5 No, #4 on Rantburg, it's written "... give the finger ~~back~~ to O Canada ..."

Sorry, Fred, I didn't mean to jump the gun and divide attention to Canada in this thread. It was just, aah, you know, a slow news day and ... um .... um.

#6 Here's the deal, Paul (and Kofi and Jacques): if you aren't at the table, the most you get is crumbs. Even a dog knows that. Bush again in 2004, you morons. Chew on that.

#7 Why don't the Belgians (the true friends of justice and beurocracy) demand extradition of Saddam to Brussels to stand trial for war crimes ?????????????
They werent so quiet when they thought they could lay their greasy little paws on ariel Sharon.

#8 Dodo: Don't incite them, dammit. Probably enough already working on it. More Eurocrap is way down at bottom of things needed. W needs to put armor plate around Bremer's statement the Coalition will interrogate Sammie, then turn him over to the Iraqis, who will by then surely have figured out what to do with him.

#9 No doubt it's a national day of mourning in belgium and france about saddam. Don't worry, 1st thing tomorrow they'll be demanding extradition and leniency. They're probably shitting themselves worrying about what saddam will say about their helping with WMD.

#10 Canada and Europe should STFU.

#11 Paul Martin and the EU are parroting the same line we are going to hear from the Dimocrats. We need to "internationalize" the Trial to bring credibility. The sort of credibility the UN and the rest of the antiwar crowd have demonstrated over the last 14 years? They failed to take real action against Saddam when he was in power and now they wish to take real action when he is behind bars. Whoto bunch of hypos!

GW: Hand him over to the Iraqis. I'm sure they can ensure justice is done. It may not be pretty, but efective.

#12 If they want a credible trial, make sure it doesn't go into a European venue or the ICC.

#13 Why doesn't Paul Martin fly to Baghdad and try to convince the Iraqis that they should pass on trying Sadaam so that his trial can be seen as legitimate by the international community.
