DC09 Posted September 20, 2004 #1 Share Posted September 20, 2004 CAIRO, Egypt - Iraqi interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi said in an interview published Monday that a broken and depressed Saddam Hussein had appealed to him for mercy, saying his regime had meant no harm during the former dictator's years running the country. Allawi also told the London-based Al-Hayat newspaper that he's been the target of four assassination attempts — the most recent just five days ago — but he insisted his homeland's chaos would be controlled. Allawi discussed a variety of issues in a series of television and print interviews from London that appeared Monday, a day after he met with British Prime Minister Tony Blair. "Saddam sent me a verbal message asking for mercy," Allawi told Al-Hayat. "He said they were working for the general good and they didn't aim to harm." Allawi said the message was carried by a member of the current government. He didn't say who or when was the message relayed. "My answer was these are things the court will determine," Allawi was quoted as saying. Full Article Poor baby. He sure as hell didn't show all those people he tortured and murdered any mercy.

Fluffybunny Posted September 20, 2004 #2 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Awww...poor baby... little schnookums not having so much fun now, is he? Well I have to say that seeing how poorly that Saddam has been doing makes me think that maybe executing him might be too nice of an answer...I kind of like seeing him in misery as it seems to be something that he loved to bestow on others for so long...Put him in a clear cage in the middle of town like a monkey on exhibit, so that everyone can see what has happened to him.

Velikovsky Posted September 20, 2004 #3 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I don't know how accurate that is. I watched the pre-trial and he didn't sound broken and depressed. He sounded like he knew exactly what he was doing and was playing the game much better than the judge was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velikovsky Posted September 20, 2004 #5 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Yeah, but that was quite a while ago. True, but after having been on the run and living in a hole I figure after that prison will be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted September 20, 2004 #6 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Fluffy, could the cage be 6' by6', only cleaned out once every six months and have a hornets nest in it? PLEASE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celumnaz Posted September 20, 2004 #7 Share Posted September 20, 2004 You guys are mean! Honey and ants. More humane because it feeds ants. "Saddam sent me a verbal message asking for mercy," Allawi told Al-Hayat. "He said they were working for the general good and they didn't aim to harm." Did you tell him he's better off making that request to the families of his olympic team Mr. Allawi? Or any number of other people in the mass graves there?

Stellar Posted September 20, 2004 #8 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Aww, he didnt mean any harm! That changes everything! Also, didnt he threaten Allawi in the pretrial too? Anyway, I guess him entertaining us with the witty "Gassing the kurds? I think I heard something about that!" remarks is out of the question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lottie Posted September 20, 2004 #9 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Allawi also told the London-based Al-Hayat newspaper that he's been the target of four assassination attempts — the most recent just five days ago — Pity the assassination attempts weren't successful.

Arashi Ravenblade Posted September 21, 2004 #12 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I for one hope they torture him and im Talking Hellrasier style. "tear his soul apart" style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AztecInca Posted September 21, 2004 #13 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Although torturing him is a fitting punishment, it would bring us down to his level and make us monsters just like him, but if someone does do it, i may just look the other way or have sudden short term memory loss, he does desreve it though!

Talon Posted September 21, 2004 #16 Share Posted September 21, 2004 saying his regime had meant no harm during the former dictator's years running the country. Isn't that more or less admitting his guilt? Just not apologising for it Can we shoot him now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
