AMMAN, Jordan, Jan. 25 (UPI) -- Defence lawyers for Saddam Hussein Wednesday distributed copies of a lawsuit against President Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair for destroying Iraq.
The suit accuses Bush and Blair of committing war crimes by using weapons of mass destruction and internationally-banned weapons including enriched uranium and phosphoric and cluster bombs against unarmed Iraqi civilians, notably in Baghdad, Fallujah, Ramadi, al-Kaem and Anbar.
The Amman-based legal team had said Sunday that the ousted president intended to start legal action against the two leaders of the Iraq war in the International Criminal Court in the Hague, but the text of the suit was made available Wednesday.
The suit also accuses the U.S. president and British prime minister of torturing Iraqi prisoners, destroying Iraq's cultural heritage with the aim of eliminating an ancient civilization, and inciting internal strife.
Bush and Blair were also accused of polluting Iraq's air, waters and environment.
The lawsuit demanded that Bush and Blair appear before court to answer the charges filed against them and requested the harshest punishment in line with Dutch legislation and the rules of international and humanitarian laws.
It also requested compensation for all material and moral damage inflicted on the Iraqi people.

And from 'Booman' at his Tribune:

And just to make sure we understand the full extent of the irony:
Reasons we invaded Iraq:
1) Saddam was pursuing nuclear weapons. (Not true, and Bush has plenty of nuclear weapons).
2) Saddam killed a lot of Iraqis. (Bush: check)
((After being put in power by CIA))
3) Saddam used chemical weapons to kill Iraqis. (Bush: check)
((Rumsfeld negotiated/ supplied these weapons.))
4) Saddam tortured Iraqis. (Bush: check)
CIA taught Saddam how to torture, set him up torture.
5) Saddam supported terrorism. (Bush's actions have strengthened recruitment for terrorist organizations and increased terrorist incidents).
((Saddam was a CIA operative, as were Manuel Noriega and Osama Bin Laden. Learn your history.))
I'd be perfectly happy if both Bush and Hussein were bunkmates in the Hague. |
