Was one American life worth the capture of Saddam??

[4dsc]

I say no.. I wonder how the you feel..

[Ninga]

1. Not one precious life ....and

that includes every man, woman and child in Iraq too.

2. Not one life here or there. We had this guy in a box anyhow.

Who whould think that the ex-drunk in the white House would need another cane to grab for and it would be a christian war? Two second rate men who needed to out smart them selfs and the guy with the big gun won, if Bush has won. I do fear the blow back.

6. Hiding in a hole beneath a mud hut was where Saddam has been

metaphorically for years. If he was a real threat, the Chicken Hawks would never have 'gone after' him. Tis the way of bullies.

So, if no WMD and the boogey man under arrest, will the troops be home for Christmas? Do we see Ken Lay and his corporate raiders doing perp walks by New Year's eve? Does Ms Plame get to see an arrest of the traitor who rendered her career's work usless and made it easier for real terrorists to get nasty materials for real WMD? Do all the unemployed skilled Americans get their jobs back? Do corporations start paying their share towards the dividends they get from the national treasury? Do the kids get decent school buildings, books and class sizes? ...

Gotta go to work now. Somebody wanna take over for me?

3. Was one life of any nationality worth it?

No. Not just an American life. Think of the children. No, the mother fucker, evil as he is, was not worth it.

4. Well, maybe ONE.

But I ain't naming names.

7. Whenever I'm faced with this sort of question, I consult the Congressional

record for advice.

Hmmm, Subject: Haiti. Year: 1994.

Senator Gramm: "I think it is a mistake because we do not have a vital national interest at stake in Haiti." and "Americans are not going to lose their lives as a result of the situation that the President finds himself in and, therefore, the Congress finds itself in."

Dan Burton: "But the fact of the matter is they are in harm's way down there, and it is just a matter of time until American young men and women are killed or maimed. The number is something we just cannot predict right now. But there are going to be some young Americans killed or maimed down there, and it is unnecessary."

Burton again: "Almost 80 percent of the American people did not want our young people sent to Haiti, because there was no national interest. Over 75 percent of the Congress did not want our young people in Haiti, and yet the President went to the United Nations and got the approval of Boutros Boutros-Ghali without coming to the Congress and decided by himself to send our troops down there."

Burton again: "Mr. Chairman, some of those young people are going to be killed or maimed. If Members vote for this resolution, they are agreeing with what the President did when the American people said no and we said no, and the blood of those young people will be on the hands of everybody that votes for this resolution, in my opinion."

And then some.

Now remember, Haiti is not known for its oil production. This was a human rights issue.

Republicans are not known for the concerns of human rights other than a fetus or a rich white person.
