Who's on trial?

Listening to the MSM you’d think that Saddam was prosecuting Iraq. The MSM meme for the trial has emerged. That meme will be along the line that it is the Iraqi justice system that is on trial and the system must avoid the appearance of meting out “victor’s justice.” In other words, we all know that Saddam is murdering tyrant bastard, a cruel creepy villain who, along with his equally cruel and creepy sons, terrorized a nation and its neighbors for decades. But we must give the appearance that we are fair minded. So, we must not convict too quickly. We might even want to let him off on a charge or two to show that we’re fair. And, we must not execute him.

The uninformed MSM will decry the trial in Iraq arguing that poor Saddam cannot get a fail trial. Because everyone in Iraq knows what a murdering despot Saddam is, there is no way for a fair trail. Well to me, if everyone in Iraq knows Saddam is guilty, that’s in itself proof that he is indeed guilty. But it’s a bizzaro world. If everyone knows you’re guilty, you get to move your trial to an area that is more sympathetic to despots, like the Hague. Serbian President Slobodan Milošević has been on trial there for nearly three years now with no end in sight. Or maybe Los Angeles would do. There Judge Ito would have the American soldiers arrested for violating Saddam’s rights – What no Miranda? And a group of Angelino public school grads will fall for a closing argument like, “If you can’t find the gas, on conviction you must pass.” And as a fail safe, there’s always the 9th Circus to review the case on appeal.

Make no mistake, before it is all over, our glorious MSM freaks will be glorifying Saddam, vilifying Bush for Abu Ghraib – again – and portraying the Iraqi court as an American kangaroo court. The loony tunes in MSM will replace the long list of Saddam’s atrocities committed against his own country and the region with a list al Qaida grievance against the U.S. No matter how fair, the MSM will depict the trial as a show trial. When justice is handed down, the MSM will do its level best to see that Saddam remains a dictator in waiting in a jail somewhere or worse becomes a martyr when the hangman’s noose tightens around his worthless neck.

Were I king for a day there’d be free beer. Everyone would have to drive an American car and Saddam would be found guilty in about an hour. The court would come to order with the words, “Bring the guilty bastard in.” Followed by, “Saddam you are guilty. You have 30 minutes to convince me that you are not. If you fail to do so, I will sentence you to be stripped naked and tied to post where every woman in Iraq will have the opportunity to spit on you and hit you five times with a three foot hickory switch. If you survive that, you will crawl on your hands and knees to Abu Ghraib while escorted on a dog leash by Lynndie England. There you will become the base of an inverted human pyramid of 400 naked men the construction of which will be broadcast by al Jazeera. If you survive that, you will be turned loose on the busiest street of Tehran naked except for a billboard that reads ‘Allah was a pedophile’ on one side and ‘All Iranian Ayatollahs are Assaholas” on the other. Any questions? Now bailiff, bring me my headphones and turn up the volume on my Toby Keith CD while this piece of human debris defends himself. When Toby’s done, so are you.”
