Oh Sweet Baby Jeebus

Looks like this a$$wipe just punched his ticket for the World Court in the Hague:

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- The chief judge in Saddam Hussein's genocide trial said Thursday that he does not believe Saddam was a dictator.

...Questioning a Kurdish witness Thursday, Saddam said, "I wonder why this man wanted to meet with me, if I am a dictator?"

The judge interrupted: "You were not a dictator. People around you made you (look like) a dictator."

"Thank you," Saddam responded, bowing his head in respect.

Al-Amiri heads the five-judge panel that oversees the trial and will deliver the verdict.

Yeah, I feel good about the verdict.

It's not fair, really.
