Defense lawyers for Saddam Hussein released a letter on Thursday that he recently wrote in prison that attempts to persuade the American people to demand a troop pullout because President Bush misled them into the Iraq war.

The DNC hired a new spokesman?

what are the odds that they admit emboldening our enemies ....again????
front page, op-ed, or ad?
That baathist f*&# should be ritually strangled on the capitol steps after being lead there under the yoke in a proper Triumph. But no one likes my ideas.
The paper tiger will soon be overseeing the fitting of Sadaam with a hempen necktie.
Dear Mr. Hussein
Rest assured that we will give your letter all the consideration it merits.
Have a nice day
Wow, Saddam watches CNN and the MSM.
I love your idea
I wonder if the Slimes will take on Saddam as a regular columnist. Their viewpoints are identical.
Boy that bacon looks good! Want some Saddam?
Saddam Hussein has the Democrat talking points down pat, just like Osama did in that pre-election video.
