Saddam to sue Bush and Blair
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.

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.

2. Could This Expose Bush Sr. and Reagan's dealings
with Sadam and how they supported this man's actions.

6. Bush dumped International Court, did UK?
This has me laughing, albeit nervously. Certainly RepubliCONs will dismiss it. Problem is, the rest of the world shake their heads not understanding why we are not ashamed.

Is the UK aligned with this court? That would have Tony concerned, and Bush since information could still come out.

10. Look at the charges,
and look at the dates. You will see that all these charges against him or should I say the greater majority were during Republican administrations......
