Saddam begs Iraqi tribunal for firing squad instead of hangman
I'm guessing the tribunal would rather see him dance.

My guess is that he did, by proxy.
Just a [good] guess.
My other guess is that he really thinks he's going to survive this...and he may really be right. The ME is a funny place, just like the U.S. of A. He may never again rise to overt power but until he has a twelve inch neck or six large holes in his chest, I'm not counting him out.

If there is an argument, yours will soon be the basis of it. They'll quote democrat talking points just like you. And, it seems, vise versa.

Why not? Because he didn't get many votes last election. It's amazing how the voting changed when other candidates besides just Saddam were on the ballot.
Oh come on. A Sadaam led democracy is just one rigged election away! They're new to this whole democracy thing anyway. A little bit of ballot box stuffing and we're there.
On a more serious note, was Saddam's name even allowed to be listed on the last ballot? If so, what were his vote totals?

For the same reason we don't hire Satan for the job.

Maybe he's just worried that his magic stone won't work against a noose.

Wouldn't that be 5 holes? I thought they left one bullet a blank so nobody knew they definitely were one of the shooters. Or maybe that's an old wives' tale.
And, more importantly, are old wives' tales the old tales of wives or the tales of old wives?
except that there's evidence for the existence of Saddam

An angel makes one little mistake six thousand years ago, and we're going to hold it against him? I say we should seriously consider him as a candidate. He's got experience, hasn't he? If he can rule Hell, Iraq should be a doddle. And he's already got a close working relationship with Bush.

Not to mention he can give some useful torture techniques to the Abu Ghraib guards.

Allegedly Iraq was Satan's stomping ground six thousand years ago so he knows the area. How tough could it be for him to transform the Green Zone back into the Garden of Eden anyway? Most of the heavy lifting is already done. A few baubbles and fruit trees relocated from some of Saddam's palaces and it's good to go.

I believe the entire Baathist party was banned from standing.

He was frickin' joking.
You: "Well, he's the joke, because it's wrong!"
Me: You do understand what a joke is right?
You: I should sue you for libel for putting words in my mouth.
Me: This isn't real, it's a joke too, very obvious.
You: Yeah it's a joke, because you are stupid and a criminal now.
Me: Somebody hit this guy with a pie.
You: Oh violence now? That's rich!
For the time being, anyway.
If somebody wants him back, they'd better hurry............
I will.
It's like Bill Clinton. Just proof of one blowjob "blew it."
Sure does. He screwed everything up.
Frankly, I consider Iraq to be as close to Hell as one can get while still being in the flesh.
Yeah; Saddam/Satan. Six of one, half dozen of the other................
