Seriously i wonder sometimes why did we invade Iraq? I got a friend who is paralyzed from that weapons of mass destruction war and I constantly wonder what was Bush's desposition?
We did not hang Saddam the Iraq courts did. The people he tortured and gassed for years got to decide his fate
The war was fought over weapons Sadam had, and everyone knew he had. We still don't know if these were all used up, or are buried in the desert. It sure was confusing the way GWB carried it out.
Didn't we find the weapons but they were from the 1950's? Remember the inspectors dug up the rotten 50's weapons.

No i just thought he was hunt down and murdered for something we had no business involve in!! We lost alot of family and friends!!!
Yeah, I guess by not wanting to circumvent laws and hang people I'm the real monster here.
Wow, quite the leap in logic.
I'm stating that if he is being charged with war crimes, or crimes against humanity an iraqi kangaroo court is a dumb place to try him and the ICC is the appropriate place.
Since no WMDs were found in Iraq and we invaded under false pretenses maybe the US courts should try the previous administration. See how both that and your post are equally stupid?
I totally agree and put Bush on trial as well for all the lives lost and women rape at war!
Oh please, all this hand-wringing over Saddam. Yes, we helped him when he was fighting Iran. Heck, we funneled weapons to both sides in that war. Let's face it, we hated both of them and liked watching them punch each other in the nose.
But, get off your high horse and face reality. We didn't do anything that hadn't been done before. What about FDR allying us with USSR in WWII? Allies with Stalin? He had the blood of MILLIONS on his hands! Isn't FDR the patron saint of all liberals?
It's called political expediency. You do what makes sense at the time.

If Bush had done nothing what would have happened? I don't think you really want to know. Saddam was protecting terrorists if nothing else. Should America have done nothing and sit back to see what would happen? I guess our government can take that position and to some degree Obama is so we will just wait to see what happens.
We could say the same about CUBA and CASTRO! God handles all wrong doings and we can also say the same about the monster in Rawanda!!!
Are you stating that Saddam had only committed crimes against Iraqis?

Deposition means to order, arrange or regulate! Dmandvadva i grew up reading the dictionary and encyclopedia as a hobby!!! True story!!
Did Saddam use poison gas against the Iranians? Seems that he did but then we know we couldn't have got a fair trial if we had turned him over to them.
Listen Roy, Bush use poison gas in Texas as well when he was govenor.
