Saddam Silenced

Hussein Tells Iraq to Unite Against U.S.

Excerpts from Saddam-judge exchange

This morning, during what was supposed to be Saddam's opportunity to take the stand in his defense, he instead used it as a venue for a political platform. The judge warned him, then shut off his mic and ended todays events when Saddam continued his stumping. Saddam identified himself as the President of Iraq and told Iraqis to fight against the invaders.

This got me thinking a little. Is what Saddam suggests such a bad idea? What I am thinking is, would American rather have the Iraqi's fighting each other or American soldiers? Is Saddam demonstrating good leadership from behind bars by attempting to unite his people against a common enemy?

On a side note, if Saddam were placed back in power, how long would it take for him to regain control of Iraq: end the insurgency and muffle the terorrist? I bet he could do it in a year; a fucking bloody one though.
