Octopus of Odstock 2,206 Posted January 12, 2006 Hmmm.... This is the trouble with Iraqi politicians. You don't know whether to take this with a pinch of salt or not. The same lawyer said one of those two women "Dr Germ or Mrs Anthrax" whatever was "dying", plus let us not forget Barzan Al-Tikriti "has cancer" yet seems remarkably active, Izzat Ibrahim Al-Douri is doing remarkably well for a "dead" man (so too Chemical Ali) & I distinctly remember Saddam Hussein being "close to death" in 2000. One other report says Aziz is suffering from no worse than toothache - quite different to a "brain stroke" This from a government who had "comical ali" as their official spokeman. I'll believe it when I see it, to be honest - the American quote on Aziz seems far more realistic. Can't afford to choose a DDP pick on a lawyer's hysteria, a la Ronnie Biggs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrunoBrimley 86 Posted January 12, 2006 Oh this is sad. I had a crush on Michael Yuhanna for quite a while and was jealous that he got to share meals with Saddam.......do you think Saddam knew Michael wasn't Tariq at the start of life? Did you know that he survived an asasination attempt back some 25 years or more ago? Hopefully he will pull through and continue a long and helthier life.

The Four Horsemen 26 Posted January 14, 2006 I'd rather watch Celebrity Stroke over Celebrity Big Brother any day of the week! "Michael is in the garden, George and Rula are in the Kitchen. Jimmy is paralysed on his left side, dribbling and can't get out of bed without assistance". Marvellous viewing potential there, I think! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mebby we should copyright it. regards, Hein I'd rather see Celebrity Lobotomy. Each week, we'll take one washed up B-list celebrity desparate for a little exposure and cash and lobotomize them, literally turning that celeb into the drooling idiot we always knew they were on the inside. Since lobotomies aren't performed in the US anymore...can't do it here. I think Canada still does lobotomies though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Chemical Ali", "Comical Ali", "Queen Germ", "Mrs Anthrax", Izzat "ginge" Ibrahim, Barzan "Raving Nutter" Al-Tikriti & Tassin "I haven't got a nickname" Ramadan, are all relatively well known. Otherwise, it's hit & miss. But all of those in the Saddam trial now would get a mention, simply just because... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MyBrainHurts2 4 Posted May 24, 2006 Aziz takes the stand in defense of Saddam Article said he looked frail and is said to be in declining health but the video of him on CNN shows that he doesn't look to have lost a whole lot physically (didn't ask him to do the Hokey Pokey though) or mentally and it looks like he's sporting some cute new pajamas in court.

Depends on location...until 2 minutes ago (with help from a google search), I'd never heard of Hokey Cokey. Apparently, here in the States, it's Hokey Pokey and on your side of the pond, it's Hokey Cokey. There's my new thing learned for the day...I can go home now and veg out.
