Who wants to bet he'll "allegedly" die of cancer before then?

I don't care how he dies, as long as he's dead, that's good enough for me. Personally, I wish the SF operator who pulled his rag-head ass out of the hole had double-tapped him in the head. That would of saved the world some trouble, and I bet the Iraqi's would of been ok with that outcome

That Serb president Milosovich(?) still is not on trial for war crime. Funny how you don't mention about him

He's at the Hague now Jack and has been under trial for the past year,he's defending himself!!


EDIT

In 2001, Slobbo was remaindered to the International War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague, along with various members of the Serbian military and political leadership, where his trial is ongoing. Testimony at the trial hasn't cleared up the question of just how much responsibility Milosevic carries for the atrocities perpetrated during his watch, but it's estimated to be somewhere between "a lot" and "a whole ****ing lot."

The issue of blame in the specifically legal sense is obscured somewhat by the fact that a lot of the slaughter was carried out by groups loosely allied with the Serbian government, rather than the Serbian government per se.

Milosevic decided to defend himself against the 66 charges of War Crimes he faces, which include official charges ordering the displacement of 800,000 Kosovo Albanians, related looting and destruction, massacres in at least a dozen locales; similar and expanded charges in relation to non-Serbians living in Croatia, including torture and the destruction of churches; and even more charges for mass slaughter in Bosnia, including a formal charge of Genocide.

Initially, Milosevic refused to even recognize the proceedings or enter a plea, which prompted much hand-wringing about the legitimacy and effectiveness of the War Crimes Tribunals, which are widely considered to be not very effective and only semi-legitimate (the United States, for instance, has consistently demanded and received an exemption from the tribunals).

But, happily for the illusion of international world lawfulness, Slobbo changed his mind and began representing himself rather enthusiastically, apparently trying to carve out a legacy for himself as the "Perry Mason" of Serbian nationalists, rather than his currently more common sobriquet, the "Butcher of the Balkans."

I dont give two ****s if he gets shot or if he dies of cancer, but id be very surprised if he lasts long enough to make it to trial- and i hope its a US military tribunal and not some long, drawn out production at the hague.

Its a trial by the Iraqi people not the US,this has already been agreed has it not?For crimes commited against the Iraqi people.

[basket of soft kittens]

its too bad if he dies from cancer for some people it will seem that he is a martyer who died at the hands of americans who failed to take care of his sickness and harden middle eastern anti american ideology

bleh p-)

[obd]

you know whats really really funy. The reason his trial wont be for two years is to give all the potlicians who had dirty deals with him time to figure out what to do. (also to get as much info as possible out of the bastard)

Can you imagine what would happen if Saddam was given the time to speak his mind in a open and public forum. I cant even begin to imagine the dirty little secrets he has and the dirty little politicians who slept with him, so to speak. I wouldnt be surprised in the slightest if some French, British, or American politicians are sweating a little under thier collars at the moment. Oh well, Im sure he wont be given much of a chance to talk before:

He dies from a "heart attack"

"chokes on his food"

"has an unfortunate fall"

"is killed by a prisoner after being housed with "Johnny Switchblade" who had "supposedly been rehabilitated and peaceful for two years"

Is givin to the Iraqis who hang him in seconds but not before questioning him a little about his crimes against them while very carefully avoiding any questions to do with his foreign dealings......
