Saddam, smiling faintly and dressed in a black suit with white shirt, found his way quietly to his seat among the other six defendants charged in the Operation Anfal crackdown against Iraqi Kurds in the late 1980s.

.....I guess they need to kill him twice...!!!

Let's say he get's sentenced to 30+ years for this trial without enough evidence to hang him again,,,Are they goanna hang him any time soon???He can't do his 30 yrs if he is dead... There are a couple different types of Iraqis in Iraq,,

There are the ones he likes and the ones he gasses...I think he wants to join these 2 groups together to fight against US....I believe this is why he said this....He is trying to build an army to fight together against the US..

"I call on all Iraqis, Arabs and Kurds, to forgive, reconcile and shake hands," Saddam said before resuming his seat.

Saddam thundered "Long live the people and death to their enemies" when the sentence was imposed.

One statement, released last month by his lawyers, urged Iraqis to remember that their goal should be to free the country "from the forces of occupation and their followers" and not "settling scores."
