Zionists & Iranian Agent Provocateurs = Allies

Ynet News is reporting this highlight from the trial of Saddam Hussein:

Saddam Hussein thundered out against “Agents of Iran and Zionism” and vowed Tuesday to “Crush your heads” after listening to Kurdish witnesses at his genocide trial tell of atrocities against them nearly two decades ago. In a moment of defiance, one witness turned to the ex-president and declared: “Congratulations Saddam. You are in a cage.”

Saddam and the six other defendants sat silently in the courtroom as witnesses related the horrors of Operation Anfal, the 1987-88 campaign to suppress a Kurdish revolt in northern Iraq during which the prosecution claims about 180,000 Kurds lost their lives.

But when Saddam heard a lawyer describe Kurdish guerrillas, known as peshmergas, as freedom fighters, the ex-president bellowed: “You are agents of Iran and Zionism. We will crush your heads.” Before the judge cut off his microphone, Saddam said the Kurdish guerrillas were rebels and “In any country in the world where there is rebellion, the authorities ask the army to defeat it.” He demanded that the word peshmerga, Kurdish for “Those who face death,” Be stricken from the trial record and complained that the five-judge panel had tolerated “Lots of violations” Of judicial proceedings during the Tuesday session.

Really it’s no surprise that Saddam Hussein is carrying on and raving about Iranian agent provocateurs and the evil Zionists tag teaming to conspire against him, but what surprises me is how long is the farce has been going on. Truly, there is nothing as tiresome as a former tinpot dictator using the docks as his personal bully pulpit.
