Saddam Insists He Is Still President
BAGHDAD, Iraq 3-15-06-- Saddam Hussein
testified Wednesday for the first time at his trial, and the judge closed the court after the ex-dictator's speech calling for Iraqis to end sectarian violence and fight U.S. troops instead.
Even as the judge repeatedly yelled at Saddam to stop making what he called political speeches, the deposed leader read from a prepared text, insisting he was still Iraq's president.
"Let the (Iraqi) people unite and resist the invaders and their backers. Don't fight among yourselves," he said, praising the insurgency. "In my eyes, you are the resistance to the American invasion."
Finally, Chief judge Raouf Abdel-Rahman ordered the session closed to the public, telling journalists to leave the chamber. The delayed video feed also was cut.

Sorry Pal, but you havent been the so-called elected President (Yeah right, his name was the only one on the ballot in his last election, cough..) in 3 years!
Seeing him sitting in that box is just amusing somehow!

I'm not so sure about that Pissed, (God I cant get over that name)
I would Love to see some of that trial and the insanity that goes on in the courtroom I cant ever find it on tv, but the Iraqi's wanted it, they should get to see him publicly hung in Baghdad town square! And they are probably saying "Hang his ass already"
