The Iraqi government indicted Saddam today, among the charges were the war he started with Iran, hmm thats funny, I thought the US funded that war. Its also ironic that they didnt file any charges for having weapons of mass destruction.

We didn't fund that war at all. We got in partway through to help Iraq a little with Satellite photos so he would bleed Iran more (and also gave Iran a little help when they started losing to bleed Saddam a little) but it was mostly Soviet weaponry, with Germany, France and Britain all selling more to Saddam than we did. Even that wouldn't qualify as funding a war, since it was selling weapons to Saddam, not giving them to him.

I think it's ironic that Britain is helping us in the Iraq war, when a mere 250 years ago we were fighting THEM. Now THAT's irony!

And the Iraqis fought Britain in the 1920s, too. Now they're fighting again. Ironic.

I was scratching myself once when I noticed a large puss filled sore. Then I remember that damn chimp who dressed as Hitler and did erotic strip teases to the sounds of mating humpback whales. That my friend is irony.

I don't remember that scene from Star Trek IV. Must be in the Director's Cut.

Good News: Saddam could face the death penalty.
Bad News: David Beckham will probably take it

Its also ironic that they didnt file any charges for having weapons of mass destruction.After looking at them, it appears that they only filed charges for using chemical weapons (Halabja 1988) rather than having them. So I guess you're technically correct.

What's really ironic is that Saddam's defense team are French lawyers.

oh come on no one has said 'don't ya think' yet?
What's really ironic is that Saddam's defense team are French lawyers.I suppose it is Verges. He was also the lawyer of Klaus Barbie (a SS Nazi from WW2).
I think it's ironic that Britain is helping us in the Iraq war, when a mere 250 years ago we were fighting THEM. Now THAT's irony!Well, France & Germany have had 3 Wars against each other in the last century and are now as friends as it is possible to be.
