snip - Overthrown Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, who was arrested by US forces last December, reportedly plans to run as a candidate in the Iraqi elections scheduled for January 2005.

Saddam's lawyer Giovanni di Stefano told Denmark's B.T. newspaper that Saddam decided during one of their discussions that he would declare his candidacy for the elections.

Stefano said that there was no law that prevented Saddam from appearing on the ballot. He added that Saddam hopes to regain his presidency and palaces via the democratic process.



Can you believe this????? Over 1000 troops killed, and 200 BILLION wasted - and Saddam MIGHT BE ELECTED.

2. The mother of all ironies.

Wonder how our new puppet government will handle that? If Saddam is democratically elected, then what?
