From the Associated Press in regards to Saddam’s trial on Tuesday:

“An angry Saddam threatened at the end of the Tuesday court session to boycott the next day’s proceedings after complaining that he and the seven other co-defendants had been mistreated by the ‘unjust court.’”

“At the end of the Tuesday session, the judges agreed over defense objections to meet again the following day. Saddam shouted that ‘I will not come to an unjust court! Go to hell!’”

“Saddam, dressed again in a dark suit and white shirt and clutching a Quran, complained that he and the seven other defendants were tired and had been deprived of opportunities to shower, have a change of clothes, exercise or go for a smoke.

“‘This is terrorism,’ he declared.”

Here it is Wednesday. Also from the AP:

“Saddam Hussein’s trial was delayed Wednesday after the ousted president refused to attend the session, court officials said. Defense lawyers huddled with the judges in hopes of resolving the latest test of wills in the often-unruly trial.”

The court seems at a loss. Let me help:

Take control.

I’m so sorry that ol’ Saddam doesn’t have his daily back massage, personal whipping boy, money, and/or power anymore. But, the heck with him. The man is trash. Human waste. He murdered. He didn’t care.

Now he’s out of power. But he’s still acting like he owns the place. He’s trying to turn his court case into a kangaroo court.

This whiney butt, cry-baby attitude of “I don’t wanna come here anymore! I can’t get time for a smoke! I can’t put you to death like all of the other people that used to oppose me! WAH! It’s not fair!” is actually rather amusing. Or fitting. Or ironic.

My point is that Saddam doesn’t get to choose anymore. Leave him in his cell. Drag his butt to court. The court needs to take control NOW.

Saddam’s time of being in charge is gone. It’s high time he realized it.
