Get ready for even more carnage in the streets tomorrow
The most expensive political assassination in the history of humanity
Print those dollars folks! We need more!
Keith, you can't honestly think that bush thought up this whole war to "git the guy that tried to kill ma daddy" can you? What about perle, feith, wurmser, bolton and all the other blood-lusting jewish neo-cohens that have been pimping this thing since before they took office? What about the blood-lusting jews at AIPAC? This is a 100% jewish war for the jews in israel plain and simple. It's just a bonus for them that several thousand American goyim have been slaughtered on top of the Iraqis.
Honica take your jew bashing paranoia somewhere else
Yes, Bush, the dumbest guy in the room, did it to avenge his daddy
Welcome to America, 2006
Oh, man, Saddam swings by a rope tonight. Amazing. Never thought I'd see the day.
Anyone around when Mussolini got tied up?
It's been awhile since we murdered a head of state, eh? And even longer since a state murdered their own former leader (remember the Chaucheskus in Romania? but that was by the hands of the crowd, no?)
The hanging will be interesting. It's the reaction in the sunni world that's REALLY interesting I think
If that's the case then Dubya better hope Chavez doesn't have a son. What goes around comes around.
Is this really happening? It's just a bad dream right?
Sure, his academics got him into Yale, not the fact his dad and grandfather had gone there and he was a legacy admission. He got a Gentlemen C average... how'd he get around the waiting list for the 'champagne division' of the Air National Guard during Vietnam to fly a plane unusable for the Vietnam theater? Made millions in business? The case has been made he was a failed businessman and politics were his saving grace.
But alas, look what his brilliance has done:
W's great leadership in two great victories. How many pr blunders has he made along the way? Immediately after 9/11 he called for a crusade. What a time to bring up a reference to the European Christians mission into the Holy Land and all the lives lost in the endeavor - way to speak in terms of turning things into a bigger conflict. Or was it just a Freudian slip?!? Then there was "Mission Accomplished" and the fly boy photoshoot. Got to wonder how much that stirred sentiment on the Arab street Bush regarded them all as a pushover? But alas it was a premature celebration as the real fighting/war had hardly begun... Then came "Bring it on!", when the prez actually encouraged attacks on U.S. troops by insurgents in Iraq. [Thanks prez!] W made an attempted explanation of he's sometimes prone "to big Texas speech" to meander his way out of that one. How he remained Commander-in-Chief after such a blunder is a mystery... Then there's been the Abu Graib fiasco... all of which have been covered by Al Jazeera, the Arab cable news channel broadcast across the Middle East. These events have created no shortage of volunteers who've come to Iraq to fight the United States. Yup, W's been a regular success!
Further, Abu Alzarqawi, the recent feather in the cap, didn't join Al Qaeda until December of '04, AFTER the U.S. had invaded. So he's one of the many terrorists created by our incursion. Meanwhile Al Jazeera broadcasts casualties of American collateral damage in Iraq across the Middle East, feeding the insurgency with inexhaustive numbers of recruits. Funds for reconstruction have disappeared on a massive scale... yet only Donald Rumsfeld has been replaced. This goes higher.
When the Commander-in-Chief says to go, the troops have to go. If they don't, they get courtmartialed and prosecuted. Where's the accountability for the Chief, so that the troops are used in an honored way? W should resign, so should Cheney. It's a shame what's happened...
yes, and it was all worth it. Saddam to die in 2 hours. All you liberals suck!
Here Here!
I still have enough 'balls' to say, if someone Fu*ked with my old man, I would be out for blood as well!
Come on Amerika Stand up for once, our country may have lots of problems to spread equally but be proud and grow a set!!
This country FEEDS this Godless world Never forget that!
We are always the first to run to help in a catastrophe, flood, tsunami, earthquake...whatever!
That God almighty we are who we are!
Everytime some natural disaster happens the calls for help start, because they know we will help!
Then when it's over... they piss on us!
But we still help, anytime anywhere!
Semper Fi!
Honica is a bigot but nonetheless it is hard to discount the disproportionate influence of a small group of Jews on American foreign policy over the last 5 years. The PNAC Iraq overthrow letter signatories are about 45% Jewish, and Jews played a disproportionate influence during the run-up to the war. Read Tom Rick's "Fiasco" and see how much Wolfowitz was concerned about Israel and not his (supposedly) fellow Americans lives, in his own words.
Israel is not the 51st state. It is a foreign country that shat its own bed. America and Americans really have no obligation to clean up the mess that Jews made for themselves in the Middle East.
America's other interest in the Middle East, besides god, is obviously oil. America could choose to end it dependency on oil (from the Middle East, Venezuela, Nigeria, and a host of other unsavory places) as soon as it chooses to. The technology and the ability is there Unfortunately, Americans believe they have a god-given right to cheap oil as much as they believe that god plays favorites amongst the Semitic tribes of the ancient Middle East. Both beliefs will come to bite America in the end.
Let the masses get Saddam in a vengeance mob killing.
By trying to create a sentiment of a so-called legitimate trial, without the international courts involvement, this will be remembered as a wartime (or non-wartinme) Kangaroo court by history despite the fact that the plantiff deserves his fate.
Solodan Milosevic, a much more sadistic dictator (at least with respect to his length in office), was treated in a more dignified way which made his trial and departure (though for natural causes) as much of a closure on that monster's life. This trial will not get that treatment since it's been under the auspices of the occupying forces.
In other words, hire a professional to take out SH, with a narcoleptic concoction, while he's on trial in Holland and thereby, wash one's hand of the whole incident. That's cold war style espionage.
Don't forget the Iran/Iraq war that killed millions...
::Don't forget the Iran/Iraq war that killed millions
It doesn't matter. Remember, he's a legitimate, absolute dictator. The only thing they can try him on are war crimes, genocide, etc and that will have to be determined and tried by the international court at the Hague. Anything else is a kangaroo court, from any political science pov, which may cause even more liability to the US in the future.
List of lies:
"Will not engage in nation building"
"Iraq has weapons of mass destruction"
"Iraq supports al queda"
"Iraqi oil revenues will pay for the war"
"mission accomplished"
"The insurgency in on it's last throes"
"We will win as long as we stay the course"
Only (2) classes of people still support this incompetent president:
1) Those that will support ANYTHING with the republican label on it.
2) Those with competency issues of their own
"Remember, he's a legitimate, absolute dictator"
Yep, so wasn't Pinochet, Suharto, and Abdullah. But they were cooperative so their individual cruelties were well tolerated by our govt.
As long as one doesn't get on a shit list like Noriega and Qaddafi did during the 80s, one can continue to be a cruel dictator indefinitely.
booyaah! can I have another?
America
Judging by the dearth of responses, I take it that many HPers don't have any legal or govt training.
hats off to our military for finding and getting this guys killed. Sorry Keith, killing a dictator who has killed hundreds of thousands is a GOOD thing. You are seriously twisted.
nothing worse than the ignorant and misinformed majority
it must be true the news said so
In the future, when the US tries to strong arm either Russia or China into favorable deal, financial or otherwise, they'll bring up the fact that the US invaded a sovereign nation under false pretexts and executed its legitimate leader via kangaroo court. That's how this event will stand in the annals of time.
It would have been a lot easier had there been an "accident" on the way to capturing him.
agreed
you just cant invade a sovereign nation
can anybody now say what is the reason for us to be there?
what is the objective?
The objective is to kill a bastard dictator... mission accomplished.
Let's hope we get lots of targets tomorrow... "Allah Akbar!...ooof"
fox news say that
:you just cant invade a sovereign nation
You can do whatever you like provided that you're ready for the long term political ramifications. This execution now, in conjunction with the false pretext of the invasion, is going to give the Chinese and the Soviets all the ammo they need to setup only an economic bloc but a political and military one down the road. I can tell that the ghost of Tocqueville will be spinning in his plot.
Nagasaki
Hiroshima
Vietnam
Korea
venezuela
Iraq
You didn't complain a century ago when we killed the injuns... why would you think we lost it now that we killed the dictator of Iraq?
venezuela ? are they next?
and now there casinos are making millions of tax free dollars off us
what goes around comes around always
Venezuela is next for us (USA), then our buds in Israel nuke Damascus, Syria (Isaiah 17 prophecy) as Iran's surrogate.
Then it's a short drive down the road to the Magog war (after the Rapture) and that's when all of you non-believers will be introduced to the time of Jacobs trouble, aka the great tribulation with its 7 seals, 7 trumpets and 7 vials - Get ready!
agreed
OK. Bush you a*hole. Mission accomplished. He's dead. Lets go home.
-K
The firing squad style execution of Romania's Ceausescu was during an uprising, and one from within a nation. And his execution was used by the revolutionaries to silence the other communists in the countryside to end the former Soviet satelite govt's resistance.
That's a whole lot different than what happened in Iraq or even Kosovo where Slobodan Milsevic was handed over to the Hague, by the invading nations, and for all we know, he might have been assassinated with a chemically inducing heart attack. As a result, today, Kosovo's legal and legit, Iraq isn't.
You have the worst criminals of human race Bush, Cheney, Blair walking free. These criminals beat all past mass killers and dictators. Saddam's crimes are nothing compared to Bush's. According to Harward study over 650,000 civillians killed in Iraq alone. All criminals will face the same fate...
Its an insult to Animal race to call the MF'r and his VP in the whitehouse and their Birtish friend, animals. These 3 greedy MF'rs are worse than devil, if there is such a thing. They will rot in hell and worse...
::Saddam's crimes are nothing compared to Bush's
But that's not the point.
The point is that according to all the world's govts, Saddam was the legitimate leader, albeit absolute 'iron fist' dictator, of Iraq. A foreign army invaded, deposed, and executed him on its own terms. That's the issue and it's a big one on the international stage.
there is such a thing
you cant have one without the other
there is such a thing
you cant have one without the other
if you believe in god
you must believe in the devil
they walk amongst us
You freaking Bush Haters shut the F*** up. You're pathetic. Anybody right of center is your boogeyman.
To all others on this blog: Notice how the U.S. networks won't show Saddam's hanging, but have no problem showing dead American soldiers on TV being dragged and burned, or showing American civilians in Iraq getting beheaded.
Now back to you libtards: I'm convinced you liberal sickos on the left are those who are going to be left here on earth when the doomsday scenarios hit.
What is the chance Bush, Cheney and Blair hung from the same gallows, that Saddam was for killing 3000 innocent young Americans abd over 600,000 Iraqi civillians for the sake of their greedy corporate buddies ?
they walk among us
3000 American soldiers dead
tens of thousands maimed
600,000 iraqis dead
country destroyed totally obliterated
any body no why ?
money lovers thats who relishes this war
I dont buy it
buy what
tonight is
........"in a mirror darkly"...
Republictards are to chicken to enlist and fight. Instead they post on message boards...
QUIT BEING A PUSSY AND GET OVER TO IRAQ!!!
and do what ?
kill someone ?
You know it's kind of sad. I feel like we never really got to know Saddam.
took the bait
your next interest/war
dont forget nagasaki hiroshima
what a dufus
meth is an american addiction
Hey anonymous at 4:51:30 AM
What your moronic ass is saying is that a person unwilling to serve in the military can't demand those who are, actually do their job.
Based on your reasoning, if you're not willing to be a garbage man, then you have no right to demand that your garbage be picked up and likewise for you to have police protection unless you yourself are willing to become a cop as well.
You're an idiot.
3.000 american soldiers dead
thousands and thousands maimed
600,000 iraquis dead
and you can make fun of this
are you mentally ill ?
my last post was to UKOWHOIYAM
Meanwhile Kim in N.K. is a free man eating bon bons tonight, sitting on his nukes
Not for long ; )
I believe that Saddam should have been stealthly assassinated, not tried by a US sanctioned court within Iraq.
That's my beef with this process. People like Pol Pot, Pinochet, Milosevic, etc need to simply disappear into the ether.
What about Osama?
Osama's busy running for president of the USA ; )
Osama's busy running for president of the USA ; )
:What about Osama?
Esp him. You don't want him in any court because it's very likely that no evidence will stick.
3,000 dead American soldiers. 600,000 plus dead Iraqis. At a cost of $1 Trillion plus. All for "the guy who tried to kill my dad"
What kind of democracy is the US trying to create in Iraq? Saddam Hussein has been hanged after a speedy trial found him guilty of mass murder. That's not the way we do things in the US.
If Saddam Hussein had been tried in the US, his endless death penalty appeals would keep him alive indefinitely. Wasn't capital punishment declared to be cruel and unusual punishment this year?
For once, finally, the rich, the famous, the most powerful got the same treatment we all get if we do bad things.
Stop whining over Saddam. He was just a thug. For some reason you all think that just because he was a leader, that made him immune.
"Yale, not the fact his dad and grandfather had gone there and he was a legacy admission. He got a Gentlemen C average"
Doesn't he a get at least partial credit for his MBA from Harvard? No other president has had one...
"Meanwhile Kim in N.K. is a free man eating bon bons tonight, sitting on his nukes"
Oh, his turn will come, along with Aminenajad, Assad, Nasrullah,Omar and Bin Laden.
"....3000 American soldiers dead
tens of thousands maimed
600,000 iraqis dead
country destroyed totally obliterated..."
Add to that $350,000,000,000.00 +
in taxpayers' money WASTED.
Money that could have been spent on:
Social security
Universal medical care
Educating our children
Reparing katrina damage
repairing/building roads/transit
Improving our military to handle a "real" threat
Just what is "conservative" about that fiscal policy ??
"..any body no why ?.."
Sure. Bush wanted to get "even."
Just an old fashioned family fued.
Study the history of the Bush family; they like their revenge.
At our cost.
List of lies:
"Will not engage in nation building"
"Iraq has weapons of mass destruction"
"Iraq supports al queda"
"Iraqi oil revenues will pay for the war"
"mission accomplished"
"The insurgency in on it's last throes"
"We will win as long as we stay the course"
And some new additions:
"Your doing a heck of a job, Brownie"
"I'm keeping Rumsfeld"
$350 Billion so far on Iraq
$3 billion of so each additional
month
$50 billion(?) or so additional to repair/replace military equipment
once the war is over (WHICH IT IS NOT)
Where is this money coming from ??
CHINA
Bush has MORTGAGED the United States
He did a "cash-out re-fi" with the Chinese and they now hold a MORTGAGE on America
Right now we are just paying the INTEREST and making no progress on paying the PRICIPAL
How will we pay this off ??
I have nothing against China but I do not see where OWING them gargantuan sums of capital is in OUR best interest.
Bush evedently believes that it IS
"I have earned political capital.."
3000 dead American soldiers
10's of thousands mained
600,000 + dead Iraqies
$billions and $billions and $Billions wasted.
What has Bush "earned" now ??
Impeachment?
Shakster,
Great Pic, wish I had found it myself.
LOL
"It doesn't matter. Remember, he's a legitimate, absolute dictator."
Uh, the current Iraqi government was voted in. Sorry buddy, the Iraqi parliament, with all its disfunction, is more legitimate.
Blame it all on Bush. Forget about the same lines you were fed by the precious Democrats. (Clinton, Kerry, Kennedy, Biden, Schumer, Edwards, Liberman, Dodd, Rockafeller) Bush is just a company man who remains loyal to the company. Now focus your hatred on him and when our new leader is sworn in you will all feel so much better. Empire of the dollar, religious extremism, power and Oil. You all play along so well. Click Here
Too bad we don't operate like we did during the cold war - we would have just had the CIA do away with the dolt in a quiet and mysterious way. It's a far more economical and expediant way of dispatching the world's kooks who come to power.
Like all your other predictions on HP this one turned out to be wrong as well.
"Get ready for even more carnage in the streets tomorrow"
Keith = Michael Moore?
I could swear it.
Had things been different from the onset and we focused our total efforts and war making abilities on Afghanistan, he could have been tamed and used for our purposes in the Middle East. Had we made an example of Afghanistan and it's government of the time and not "left one brick on top of another" from the onset, we would now be rebuilding what was once nothing put a poppy growing backwater into a gem for the rest of that area to see. Hussein could have been pressured to give the Kurds autonomy and their own country and could have been moderated with the reality of a very large (and possibly permanent) American force on his back door and a cadre of CIA spookies lurking around the corner - these are some bad mofo's if they are allowed to do what they are trained to do without apology. He would have "seen the light" - IMHO.
Long live Bush! Message to the next crazy dictator = we will get you, hand you over to the people you tortured, and they will kill you. It works, and it is a good thing. No one but GW Bush would have had the balls to make this happen. He rules! Our military rules! Thanksto all of them. This is a very proud day.
"I still have enough 'balls' to say, if someone Fu*ked with my old man, I would be out for blood as well!"
Are you currently an enlisted man in a combat unit in Iraq? If not, finish eating the rest of that dick you cocksucker.
Bush has bankrupted the US in a ponzi financing scheme! Every two-bit dictator will do whatever they please now!!!
Quick someone get a microscope so we can see W's poll #s!!!!!
Mr. Hussein was a great man. He will be sorely missed. RIP Saddam,
Sincerely,
Harry, Nancy, Ted, Hillary and Barrack.
I just can't wait for the draft to be resurrected and then see what all you pussy chicken hawks have to say...
No person is completely right, nor completely wrong. They are all somewhere in between.
Though I think the war in Iraq was a big waste of the worst kind (of young American lives, Iraqi lives, money, and credibility), and the mortgaging of America will precipitate a disaster soon, the execution of Saddam Hussein was the right thing to do.
It sends a message to the world that even the rich and powerful must face justice. Without that message, things like the invasion of Iraq become necessary. If leaders know they will be held accountable, merely the threat is good enough to make them adjust their behavior and actual military action becomes unnecessary.
You Anti-Bushites are completely ineffective because you have been crying the sky is falling for so long you only listen to yourselves anymore. If you'd saved your whining for choice times where it could be effective, your background chatter wouldn't be drowning out your message. As it is, you sound like people who whine about everything so you have no credibility.
While I myself have no great admiration for the man, I recognize he is our president and attempting to undermine him only makes him try harder to exonerate himself to history. His only way out is to go for broke in Iraq. He cannot admit he was wrong because then he would have to admit you all are right.
That's not how governments and powerful people work. It's sad that the big egos are the ones we elect but don't look at me. Some of YOU elected him. I don't vote. The other choice was just as bad.
There are several good anti-war arguments. This one is the lamest and shows your lack of intelect.
--------------------------------------
I just can't wait for the draft to be resurrected and then see what all you pussy chicken hawks have to say...
"...Keith = Michael Moore?

You = Rush
So ??
Take a pill, Rush: You've got plenty
List of lies:
"Will not engage in nation building"
"Iraq has weapons of mass destruction"
"Iraq supports al queda"
"Iraqi oil revenues will pay for the war"
"mission accomplished"
"The insurgency in on it's last throes"
"We will win as long as we stay the course"
"Your doing a heck of a job, Brownie"
"I'm keeping Rumsfeld"
And another addition:
"I think things have gotten so bad inside Iraq,
from the standpoint of the Iraqi people, my belief is we will,
in fact, be greeted as liberators."
Vice President Dick Cheney, On March 16 2003 to Tim Russert
"...Mr. Hussein was a great man. He will be sorely missed. RIP Saddam,

You forgot to include the nice man in this photo:

"...I just can't wait for the draft to be resurrected and then see what all you pussy chicken hawks have to say... "
So you agree with Charles Rangel
that the draft should be reinstated?
You must be one of those anti-war LIBERALS.
Welcome to the club, my friend
Just read an artilce on the Arab Times about Iraq. It was about the "mini economic boom" and talked about how the economy has surprised everyone in the gulf states with its dynamism and growth. It also stated that despite the "negative press" 80% of Iraq is secure and that investment and money is flowing in Iraq, oil revenue at a record despite the primitive oil industrty and lack of infrastructure. An Arab press said that most interviewed from merchants in Iran to Kuwait to Iraqi's want the Bush administration to stay the course to prevent the jihadists from ruining the party since they are all making money fist of fist and fear if the jihadists win that Iraq will become more like Afganistan under the Taliban instead of like Bahrain or Dubai or Kuwait.
They say the biggest problem in the press is the "anti-Bush" hate campaign that paints the conditions in Iraq to suit their political agendas rather than help the Iraqi people or help rebuild the country.
It pretty much accused the anti-Bush campaign as willing to sacrifice a secure and stable Iraq just to punish GWB. Interesting the points of view you get reading the Arab Times, the Arab News, Al-Jazeera instead of the western press.
Say what you will....Jimmy 'the traitor' Carter is and will always be the worst President!!!!
where exactly did you read that? id like to read it myself
Keith, honica did not bash the jews, honica simply stated fact.
Keith, you should read project for a new america century, or PNAC. Then you may understand a little about what honica says.
If you are offended by fact, then in my opinion, you are attacking the messenger, not the message.
Jimmy Carter was a great president.
Now, the 'dumbya' on the otherhand has created endless war, endless debt, and there is no end of any of this in sight. He is the worst president ever by a wide wide and growing wider margin daily.
Name one good thing that team dumbya has done to benefit america and americans.
Stop it, I am hurting from laughing so hard.
-------------------------------
Jimmy Carter was a great president.
600,000 dead Iraqis is only about 1/2 as many as Saddam killed. But we won't let that little piece of trivia stand in the way of a good Bush Bash.
Jimmy Carter was a great president.
Yes, I agree. Even a complete imbecile would know that no 9-11 happened on his watch, and he did very little deficit spending.
I sure miss the days of Jimmah Cahtah
- Iran hostages
- stagflation
- 14% Prime interest rate
- his cool sweaters
and my favorite giving away the Panama Canal
Mt. Rushmore candidate
Ol' Jimmy was pretty jew wise as well. The Christ-murdering jew commies still slander him any chance they get, even today.
"...I sure miss the days of Jimmah Cahtah

Just for the record:
Reagan traded arms to Iran
(Remember Iran-contra?)and
also Iraq
Economic problems started
during Nixon (remember wage and price freezes and "W.I.N." buttons?)
And finally, Teddy R. stole the Panama Canal zone from Columbia
(Remember "gunboat" diplomacy?)
You need to study history a little more and the republic line of sh__ a little less.
"...600,000 dead Iraqis is only about 1/2 as many as Saddam killed. But we won't let that little piece of trivia stand in the way of a good Bush Bash..."
At least Saddam did it cheaper, and with none of my tax money
"..Say what you will....Jimmy 'the traitor' Carter is and will always be the worst President!!!! "
Not any more.
When republicans can't defend their own man, they always resort to bashing someone else.
Defend Bush.
I dare you too.
Idiot
heck those guys that hung him were so scared that they wore masks
Saddam refused
Clinton was worse than Carter. Bush is disliked now just as Lincoln was during wartime. History will be kinder to Bush than his contemporaries today are.
Saddam won an election with 99.99% of the vote. He was re-elected with a similar 99.9% many times over. He was beloved by his people. Nobody ever said a bad thing about him, that is how beloved he was. Even during the war with Iran, he had 99.9% support.
Bush had no business going in there and removing the democratically elected beloved leader.
If Bush were truly a great president he would issue this order as Lincoln did in 1864 with the New York Times subsituted
"You will take possession by military force, of the printing establishments of the New York World and Journal of Commerce... and prohibit any further publication thereof... you are therefore commanded forthwith to arrest and imprison... the editors, proprietors and publishers of the aforesaid newspapers"
For all the bullshit you morons talk about bush as a dictator you haven't got a clue
Even though I don't support the Bush admin, I do feel that confusing deaths, due to war conditions, versus an active genocide/massacre is a misdirection.
The US military did not intentionally kill over half a million Iraqis in cold blood in an attempt to eradicate their ethnicities, however, against the Kurds and Shiites, Saddam did do such a thing. That's a key difference which people forget when they look at the war and say "OMG, 1/2 million dead, a genocide was committed on Iraqis."
Leave Saddam alone. He was elected with 99.9% of the vote. Can any of your so called elected officials say the same thing?
Bush '00 for 48% of the popular vote
Clinton '96 got 49% of votes
Clinton '92 got 43% of the vote
Yet Saddam gets 99.9% of the vote and he is the one overthrown. No justice in this world.
the republican party will be taken back by the moderates. bush will be shuffled off to obscurity (or would he seek asylum on Alba?) Or maybe the party's so screwed up it will once again change it's name?!?
"Brownie: you're doing a heck of a job!"
Brown: from a background of show horses to heading a major federal agency, let alone it be the one in charge of handling emergencies... spin that one water carriers!!!
Holy shit again with Katrina? Fuck me!! Here is the Katrina story you dumb cunt.
A CAT 5 'cane is coming to NO. Whites get the fuck out of dodge. Niggers be all "I ain't leavin, fuck that shit nigga, I be tough ain't no weather gonna get my fat lazy ass off da sofa, Oprah be on". They stay.
A city 10 feet below sea level - shockingly!! - floods upon impact.
The niggers go on a looting spree. They steal anything not bolted down. 3 days later when all is stolen, the niggers start AXing for help.
1.5 years later, whites are rebuilding homes/businesses. Niggers are still on welfare and complaining that they ain't be gettin no help from da gubinment.
So shut the fuck up asshole.
those 600,000 human beings would (could) still be alive if..........
do we recognize or realize what we are witnessing
a certain thing was given a certain asset in a place that wasnt theres
and have made a total mess of it
why do we have to clean it up
The mistake is Bush didn't have the country united to attack Iraq compared to Afganistan. No one questioned Afganistan. From his highest perch (State of the Union speech in '02), Bush said he wouldn't stand by while the world's most dangerous regimes threatened America. Turns out the evidence to the contrary of WMD was there all along and just a victim of selective action. Now, after many killed, more wounded, and untold billions spent, the reason for going to war hasn't stood up. For shame. And now the impaired are out and they can't handle the criticism which comes with being wrong. Get used to it.
and we will all pay to clean the mess up
hehehe
yeah
time to change the party name and
move on!!!
enron 202
and some can laugh
cerin was found in IRAQ and is a WMD.
SADAM also used it.
Just correcting the lie list.
Here's some very, very appropriate famous quotes that I find relavant to the war in Iraq. The only problem is that for those of you that understand the dilemma already need no explaination. Those of you who cannot see the problem will not see how these quotes relate to it. So we're still in a pickle until things bad enough that we are forced to learn the error of our ways.
"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." - Benjamin Franklin
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt
"Be wary of the man who urges an action in which he himself incurs no risk." Joaquin Setanti
"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." Voltaire
"Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." - Mark Twain
"A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves." Bertrand de Juvenal
"Speaking the Truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act." George Orwell
"Of course the people don"t want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to greater danger."
--- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials.
agreed
Great quotes anon 12:54!
Here are some other quotes I find interesting regarding the Iraq war:
"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." -- Ted Kennedy, September 27, 2002
I will be voting to give the president of the United States the authority to use force - if necessary - to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." -- John F. Kerry, Oct 2002
It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security." -- Hillary Clinton, October 10, 2002
600,000 dead Iraqis according to....
In the 4 years since Iraq was freed from Hussein, how many people were NOT killed by Hussein? Oh that's right, Saddam was a benevolent man who wouldn't harm a fly.
I'll bet you imbeciles would have protested WW2 since Hitler wasn't a threat to us.
idiot
The wmds found in Iraq weren't the sexy stuff. Rather what was found was old and degraded and not of practical use. This explains why the administration didn't highlight it's finding for fear of embarrassment as it wasn't what they sold to the public. Only the deep in trouble Rick Santorum globbed onto the wmd find. He didn't win reelection. 'nuff said.
well now we have invaded another country and killed its leader
now what ?

Guys leave Saddam alone. A Democrat told me he was beloved by his people with approval ratings of 99.99%.
I saw this movie made by an obese Midwesterner that showed Baghdad was a peaceful, tranquil place before the savage Yankees invaded.
and some will laugh
"Nikes for everyone & wait for alien pickup!!!"
=======================================
HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!
That's hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't get it.
Bush planned 9/11. Then Bush blamed Saddam for it and hoodwinked Democrats like Hillay and JFK (John F Kerry) to vote for the war against him. And then he stole the election in 2004 after stealing the 2000 election.
For an idiot Bush sure is smart.
Hmmmm? Democrats keep telling me Saddam was a great man. I wonder why these silly people think otherwise and are celebrating his death.
Must be dumb home owners.

Saddam was a piece of shit who is burning in hell. Anyone who is defending that garbage will be there with him some day
"...Hmmmm? Democrats keep telling me Saddam was a great man..."
Identify which Democrats, you
moe-ron republican
Explain just what the republican-controled senate, republican-controled house, & republican controled white house has accomplished.
Republicans are good at making idiotic statements with no facts to back them up.
You're just another idiot who can't admit that you man is dogs__t.
"..Saddam was a piece of shit who is burning in hell. Anyone who is defending that garbage will be there with him some day..."
Explain exactly who is defending Saddam
Then explain how Saddam was a great-enough threat to the U.S.A that we needed to kill thousands of U.S solders, maim 10's of thousands more, and expend hundreds of billinos of dollars of tax payers' money in order to eliminate just one of dozens of despot dictators that exist in the world.
What made Iraq different than North Korea, Iran, Cuba, China, etc. etc.???
Are we going to elimate all those "pieces of shit" as well?
At what cost in treasure & humanity?
Defend the presidant that YOU put into office, you moe-ron.
Expain just what good he has acomplished
"...cerin was found in IRAQ and is ..."
Cite your source, otherwise YOUR comment gets added to the Lie List,
Mr Bush (or is it Mr. Cheney or Mr. Rumsfeld?)
You republicans can't seem to agree with each other:
"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." -- Ted Kennedy, September 27, 2002"
".. disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." -- John F. Kerry, Oct 2002"
".. Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Hillary Clinton, October 10, 2002"
----- vs.------
"...Hmmmm? Democrats keep telling me Saddam was a great man..."
"Guys leave Saddam alone. A Democrat told me he was beloved by his people with approval ratings of 99.99%."
Perhaps that is why the republicans could not accomplish anything (except war $ fiscal insolvency) even though they controled the senate, house & white house?
Perhaps that is why they lost the election?
"Holy shit again with Katrina? Fuck me!! Here is the Katrina story you dumb cunt...
CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED
...A CAT 5 'cane is coming to NO. Whites get the fuck out of dodge. they ain't be gettin no help from da gubinment.
So shut the fuck up asshole."
Another thoughtful republican speaks his mind (what there is of it.)
Is there now any question how an incompetent like Bush can get elected?
yeah, but Bush has got Nikes and awaits alien pickup...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s get this party started right. Get your revolutionary blood pumping and name the President who gave this speech:
“For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covet means for expanding its sphere of influence; on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system that has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published, its mistakes are buried not headlined, its dissenters are silenced not praised, no expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, and no secret is revealed.” Watch the Video Clip
Democunts are still mourning today. No not over the death of a US President. That was great news to Democunts as an old white man died. No the mourning is over a wrongly accused democratically elected Muslim man.
RIP Sddam.
- DNC
Payback? HA HA HA!! Democfuck, payback is living well. When you make the money I make, live the lifestyle I live, then you will have paid back.
But as long as you live in a ghetto apartment you're still the same Democfuck voting loser you've always been.
Oh and enjoy the amnesty Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi will give you.
I can't believe you simple minded faggots still think there is a difference between demoncrats and republisatans. They are merely jew puppets A&B, the only difference being spelling. Do you honestly think that we are done fighting jewish wars for the blood-lusting jews in Israel with the demoncrats in congress?
honica,
we've missed you these past few days, welcome back
I like HP. I like to keep tabs on what the extremists are thinking/doing. If blogs were around back then, who knows, the OKC bombing may have been prevented.
All I can hope for is that the FBI is watching, taking notes and recording IP addresses.
Yeah, those darn "extremists" are always causing a ruckus....... Why don't you go check out what the other simple minded faggots are up to........ Does the foxjews network have a forum?
Hey, it looks like the Sunnis are already calling this event a Shiite/sectarian run execution.
I called it! This was going to be recorded as a kangaroo court style execution which is why he should have been handed over to the Hague and then fallen ill to a mysterious illness.
Dude, this whole thing was just another giant jew production. Do you really think that Saddam was convicted by a jury of his "own people", or that the current government of Iraq is anything but a jew sponsered puppet government? This giant jew lie is so apparent that even most of my lemming patriotard friends can see through it...... Wake up you brain-dead zombies!
