Saddam hangs, Osama enjoys the good life.

[Philosoraptor]

bush brags, Saddam chokes to death, bush grins, Osama grins too, from a far away luxurious beach house, planning his next move.

Saddam hangs, so fucking what? Who fucking cares? Am I supposed to cheer and wave a Chinese flag? Am I supposed to be proud? Am I supposed to be impressed?

Did Saddam attack us? No, but they say Osama may have, where's he anyway?

You can hang every punk in Iraq from here till the upcoming kingdom come and Osama is still out there, a constant threat over our heads. Supposedly.

I imagine Osama will get quite the laugh out of watching the video of his pal Saddam kicking the breeze.

1. Funny. I was just thinking the same thing.

Saddam was certainly not a nice guy, but he didn't have a damned thing to do with 9/11, yet he's paying for it with his life.

And, I don't buy the whole 'he was a murderous torturer' line. Yes. He was. We all know that. He was when Poppy was in the WH and we provided him with the tools to gas the Kurds.

He didn't become a bastard overnight, just a convenient scapegoat.

May God have mercy on our souls for this. And his for the terror he has wrought.

2. Luxurious beach house?...

Um, if Osama wanted that life he would've never gone to Afghanistan to fight the Russians. Sure, I'm sure he's laughing - ol apostate Saddam who silly Bush thought was a friend of Al-Qaeda (HA!) getting the rope. But he's laughing from a nondescript cave I'm sure.

5. If you really believe that Osama

is the hunted "black sheep" of the family, I have a house to sell you in the Atlantic. I think Osama is a construct, a boogie man. Once his purpose is fufilled he is taken care of, and well. You mean to tell me a 6'5" kidney dialysis patient is hoofing it in a cave in Afghanistan?

Nah, he is living the good life, with the best of handlers, personal and medical. He is the dragon, bad men concoct when they need their people to betray themselves and render themselves into their care.

7. I don't think life's that convenient.

..."in" the Atlantic? uh ... whatever.

3. Yea, Ironic isn't it? (nt)

6. Back in 2002/2003 Wesley Clark said on TV that in the days

and weeks following 9-11, anytime he visited the Pentagon the joke going around the Pentagon was -

"Who wishes it was he who had ochestrated the 9-11 attacks"?

Answer among the military brass accompanied with laughter and guffaws -

"Saddam Hussein"

10. Actually, just yesterday, Wes Clark on Fox said that Saddam had

no links to 9/11 when the commentator again tried to make the samo tired link. The commentator said something like..."well wasn't President Bush right to take the fight to the "enemies"?"...to which Clark rolled his eyes and more or less cut that dumbass talking point down. How many times will "they" say this before the man hangs?
