Saddam repays the Left for their support for him...

Yes, it's true - two sides can share an enemy if that enemy is great enough. Look at both America and the USSR joined against Hitler. Were they mates because of this?

Pretty weak cheap shot IMO. You can do a lot better than this...

Not really, take away Saddam's showers for a month, put him in a tie-die t-shirt, slap some sandals on him, give him a few bong hits, and he would look and SOUND like your usual protestor on the street blaming Bush for everything. Much like how many here compare Bush to Hitler or myself to a Nazi for my beliefs, Why can't I show the comparison of Saddam to the left and the slogans they use?

Sure, you can. But sadly that makes you further into the caracature that some state you are. Slinging mud generally makes the thrower as dirty as to whom the mud hits (very deep that - just thought of it).

People who are completely against the war seem to have a mental block as you point out here that it means they are ipso facto pro Saddam. I support the action, but not the method that was used to bring it out. One could argue that any ends justify the means, but I have the luxary of disagreeing.

Of course the "invasion" should have been in 1991, and perhaps a more blunt "we're going to finish the job like we should have" would have upset more in the short term, but would have paid off in the long term.

Basically, anyone who puts ideas above people are extremely dangerous, as very quickly they will have people killed or ignore the killing of people to preserve or justify those ideals.

Thank you for the description of a Bush protestor. I guess Hussein was in disguise.

I had no idea Noam Chomsky did bong hits and didn't take showers. Those highly-educated, urbane, world-renown developers of modern theories of language acquisition are a devious lot.

No, he can't.

Rush Limbaugh was way ahead of the pack on this.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

You see Saddam today? Saddam is claiming he was beaten and tortured. (Laughing.) Did I not tell you? Did I not tell you this is exactly what Saddam was going to say? He would slowly but surely adopt the entire strategery of the Democratic Party in mounting his defense. So he says he was beaten and tortured, says he's got all kinds of marks on his body to prove it. Frankly, I'm not interested in seeing any of them if they are indeed there -- and I don't believe it for a moment -- but he showed back up at his trial today. He was very quiet for awhile, then he had an outburst and said he was tortured. This was in the midst of testimony where some victim was testifying how Saddam's thugs had tortured him. So it's just humorous to watch all of this.

Personally, I think they should slap a muzzle on him when he's in court... or maybe put him in a soundproof box so he can't keep disrupting the trial.

But if they did that, where would Howard Dean get his talking points?

**Paul Peru** · 02-13-2006, 20:24

Yeah, that's my guy! I'm sorry I never supported him now, seeing how he's the WMD of cool in court

YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Saddam needs to use that one in court

**Watchman** · 02-13-2006, 22:23

Huh. Ole bastard Saddam has apparently long since decided to go down in style, and with maximum inconvenience to the victors.

Ten bucks says he picks choice lines and mannerisms from the TV in his cell between sessions.
