Guess who says Saddam Hussein is still the legitimate ruler of Iraq? Read the quote before you click the link and see if you can guess:
"Saddam is still to be considered the legal president of Iraq because he was not overthrown by the people but by the occupation forces."
"It is dangerous to send troops to eliminate heads of state who are not appreciated, because tomorrow it could be the turn of Castro, Kadhafi or Mugabe, or even China and North Korea," he said, referring to Cuban President Fidel Castro and Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe.
"The invasion of Iraq was not justified because Saddam had already abandoned weapons of mass destruction," Kadhafi added, referring to the main US pretext for invading Iraq three years ago.
He said that the United States should get out of Iraq in its own interest "because the Iraqis are no longer afraid of the Americans so that the murder of US soldiers has become routine." And here's who's doing business with our mystery man today... Ah, the smell of fresh, dictator-controlled oil in the morning!
