The deposed leader also tried to rebuke the United States, accusing it of using chemicals in the Vietnam War. But the chief judge interrupted and told Saddam that his comments were not "part of our topic of discussion. Please stop."

The court later adjourned until Tuesday.

During his arguments, Saddam tried to explain how the Kurds were allied with Iran, but the judge again warned him: "You embarrass me when you get into such details."

When Saddam ignored the warning, the judge cut off his microphone.
