“No one knows if Saddam is still alive. They keep showing old footage of him on TV saying that it's live. You know, it's like the same thing we do with Dick Cheney.”
David Letterman
“The big debate right now is if Saddam is alive or dead. He's dead, then he's alive, then dead, then alive. It's just confusing. Today they showed videotape, and Saddam was speaking at his own funeral.”
“What that dossier shows is that the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's regime is not some historic leftover, but is real serious and represents a mounting challenge to the international community,”
Jack Straw
“I think that's one of the most preposterous things I've heard from Saddam Hussein recently.”
Scott McClellan
“But figuring out Saddam Hussein was one our greatest mysteries. He marched to his own drummer and frequently as this unfolded he made decisions which were sometimes inexplicable to us and sometimes didn't look very smart.”
Brent Scowcroft
“The invasion of Iran in 1980 was definitely one of the crimes committed by Saddam. We want the court to investigate the charges brought by Iranian people.”
Jamal Karimirad
“The allegation that two BND agents had Saddam Hussein's plan for defending the Iraqi capital and, one month prior to the start of the war, passed it on to the United States -- as described in the New York Times today -- is false. The BND and the government had up until now no knowledge of such a plan.”
Ulrich Wilhelm
