PUTRAJAYA, Malaysia (Reuters) – U.S. President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair are war criminals with more Iraqi blood on their hands than Saddam Hussein, former Malaysian premier Mahathir Mohamad said on Monday.
Mahathir, one of the developing world’s most strident and veteran critics of the West, launched a shrill attack on Bush and Blair, telling reporters at his Malaysian peace foundation that Bush should face the same “sham” justice as Saddam.
Saddam, ousted by U.S.-led invasion in March 2003, was hanged nine days ago for crimes against humanity for killing Shi’ites. Guards filmed and taunted Saddam on the gallows.
“He (Bush) should resign straight away and be tried by the same kangaroo court,” Mahathir told a news conference called to promote a peace conference he is hosting in Malaysia next month.
