That's why I'm pulling for Saddam. He was considered a staunch alley of the U.S. (rrr/papabush gave him millions) until he refused to suck our dick anymore. He's on trial for ordering the deaths of some Iraqi's who tried to kill him. Which is no worse than the U.S. slaughter hundreds of thousands of Native American's permitted/ordered during numerous president's terms. In fact, up until the 1900's, it was de facto legal to kill Native American's. When the bastard puppet gov't of Iraq collaspes after the U.S. bug's out, Hussien just might go free, and end up in exile in another country or maybe even regain power in Iraq. Go get 'em Saddam.
That was another CIA blunder. The CIA was involved in meetings in 1979 in the Mideast that involved Iraq and probably Saddam. Saddam took over Iraq shortly after those meetings. We'll never know all the details. The U.S. govt sure didn't so anything in the 80s to stop him. They had fun supporting him. Regarding all those deaths in the 80s in Iraq and Iran, why wasn't the U.S. crying out publicly back then about WMD? That was the best time to act to stop it. .
Saddam was shouting 'down with this dictatorship.. viva democracy' or something along those lines..wich if it was within a charlie chaplin film..might be quite amuseing This is slightly less sickening than Bush/Hitler..comparisons.. Somebody always has the balls to say something like this...i guess
Anyone who's following the trial knows that it has become a circus. There was also a plot to blow up the whole courthouse with rockets. .
I guess thats the way it is going to be reported..the razz mataz of saddams antics seems to be more newsworthy than going over what he has done. Has he always been so 'religous' he seems to have taken too islam like a duck to water... ? I remember somebody saying he was not religous ??mmm confused.
Because the government of Iran was responsible for taking americans hostage, if anyone wanted to blow the living shit out of them we'd support 'em.
I'm certainly NOT going to automatically accept as fact ANYTHING our gov't says re:saddam. -He was our ally for decades. We helped him kill many thousands of Iranians & Kurds. -Remember the WMD lies? 'Nuff said. -And as we're seeing, and will fully realize once the U.S. bugs out, saddam was the glue that held Iraq togther.
No question the U.S. govt liked Saddam's iron-fist methods when they were supporting him in the 80s, as that is what kept order in Iraq. The U.S. will find someone similar to Saddam for Iraq, but he won't be that far off on the fringe as Saddam. The U.S. has done this many times in the past with other countries, needless to say (the Shah, etc). .
U.S. forces raped a 16-year old boy in front of his parents in Abu Grahib to extract info from his parents. What was your point again?
He represented himself to be religious. He said once that he prayed three or four times a day. (It's five, hard and fast, if you're Muslim.)
Ah, you mean like your oft-repeated diversionary nonsense about how Democrats did this or that years ago every time the topic calls for scrutiny of the present cabal of power-abusing, unelected ideologues? How wonderfully hypocritical, yet unsurprising, of you Gilligan. Fail in an armed coup, however justified, against those in Washington and see how little your life is worth to them. Perhaps you might get to join the tens of thousands of completely innocent abductees suffering without due process of law in Abu Graib, Guantanemo, Baghram and other unreported holding facilities around the globe under the dictats of the present US administration. However bad Saddam was, it doesn't hold a candle to the extent to which Washington has disgraced our nation's claim to respect for human rights and justice, both recently and in numerous prior overt and covert acts spanning decades. The numbers of our underreported and largely forgotten victims make Saddam look like a cub leaguer. Any outcry from you against our own systemic predelection for barbarity in the furtherance of global hegemony? Or are you perhaps too blinded as well by nationalistic bias for such acknowledgement?
No that would be your reasoning, or lack thereof, in keeping with all the rest of excusatory rubbish you regularly post. As for our "prisoners" re: the fraudulent WoT, it obviously passed your radar that most of those we have illegally abducted and indefinitely detained are absolutely innocent. But don't let that fact cause you apply any real scrutiny to those betraying every founding principle of our nation. After all, so many boogeymen out there yet to point the finger at, after your fashion.
Being, yourself, adept at getting caught out spewing wishful thinking instead of concrete facts, eh Gil?
"ranger should stick to growing his pot on other peoples property...Nice guides on how to do it too, but i just grow mine on my land." What the fuck are you talking about, fool?
Corrected yourself with the addendum that you continue to cling to the notion that a hardline partisan effort to derail the Clinton Presidency, spanning two terms of his tenure could in no way have pressured him into statements, and policy concessions he would not have otherwise had to have made. That's demonstration of intellectually honest scrutiny of the reality behind your repeatedly posted snippets indeed. Poor Gilligan, so misunderstood. It's all the liberals' fault, isn't it?
It is hilarious the absolute panic that breaks out when people sense they just might have to agree that Saddam Hussein was bad. Abu Ghraib! Bush=Hitler! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! For the record, Saddam was never an ally of the US, and he got less than 1% of his weapons from the US and the UK combined. Almost all his weapons came from China, the USSR, and France. And he developed his own chemical weapons. Now back to the mad shrieking and running around in circles. Abu Ghraib! Bush=Hitler! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
"im refering to the countless grow guides ive read, written by rangerdanger and i even asked you about them. It was more of a joke really, stating you know alot about growing pot so you should just stick to that." Maybe YOU'RE limited to only knowing a lot about 1 subject.
FYI, the rrr/papabush admin. loaned saddam millions so he could build up his military. We also supplied him with info from our satelite's and spy planes re: Iranian troop movements so he could kill more of them. We also supplied Iran with weapons so they could kill more Iraqi's. More Arab bodies: good for U.S. contractors. We supplied him with lots of wmd and turned a blind eye when he used them. Maybe you've never seen the pics of donald rumsfeld shaking hands with saddam. We also supplied osama with millions in money and weapons.
