Thank God Saddam is finally back in American hands! He must have really missed us. Man, he sure looked bad! But, at least he got a free dental exam today. That's something most Americans can't get.
America used to like Saddam. We LOVED Saddam. We funded him. We armed him. We helped him gas Iranian troops.
But then he screwed up. He invaded the dictatorship of Kuwait and, in doing so, did the worst thing imaginable -- he threatened an even BETTER friend of ours: the dictatorship of Saudi Arabia, and its vast oil reserves. The Bushes and the Saudi royal family were and are close business partners, and Saddam, back in 1990, committed a royal blunder by getting a little too close to their wealthy holdings. Things went downhill for Saddam from there.
But it wasn't always that way. Saddam was our good friend and ally. We supported his regime. It wasn’t the first time we had helped a murderer. We liked playing Dr. Frankenstein. We created a lot of monsters -- the Shah of Iran, Somoza of Nicaragua, Pinochet of Chile -- and then we expressed ignorance or shock when they ran amok and massacred people. We liked Saddam because he was willing to fight the Ayatollah. So we made sure that he got billions of dollars to purchase weapons. Weapons of mass destruction. That's right, he had them. We should know -- we gave them to him! http://www.michaelmoore.com/say what you will about his current/past transgressions, he more often than not connects the twentypenny with the 20 ouncer.
and while we're at it, this should be posted in EVERY thread, whether immediately relevant, or not:
dammit, why don't the DEMS start using this picture, making this connection EVERY damn time they open their cakeholes?
JUST like Gingrich said he was going to do WRT to WJC/Monica, back in 98.
don't they ever learn that simple and to the point is best?
get it into the subconscious of the public, just as the fascists did to Gore, with the bogus "liar" garbage.
