The capture of Saddam Hussein was praised by the Democratic presidential candidates yesterday, but most took the opportunity to reiterate what they see as President Bush's failed Iraqi policy or take shots at front-runner Howard Dean, who opposed the war.

Can you believe Kerry. On such a joyous day, he thinks it's a good idea to nitpick with Bush, and has the gall to suggest that if he was president, he'd have caught Saddam quicker.

What bunk. How does waiting for the eternity it would have taken to get France and Germany involved in the war have landed Saddam faster? Idiot.

"Sen. John Kerry, Massachusetts Democrat, called the news "terrific," but suggested that he could have brought Saddam to justice faster than did Mr. Bush."

Kerry: "Look I'm just stating the F'in truth!!

Earth to Kerry: "Hey, John -- why the long face?" President Bush kept the U.S. forces in the hunt for Saddam just long enough to capture him in time for the election. So what? Why the long face?

Chirac is one of Saddam's closest friends and associates. He sold him his nuclear reactor. Koffi Annan got most of the UN's expense budget in recent years, plus salaries for 10,000 bureaucrats, from Saddam's slush fund, AKA the oil for food program. Putin was also an old friend of Saddam's. Would these guys turn in a friend, or more to the point, bite the hand that fed them?

When Mr Viet Nam says "he" would have gotten Saddam sooner-he is criticizing the efforts of the troops and covert operatives, who are putting their lives on the line-every single day. What an Fing dirtbag.

Considering some of the things that have issued from Kerry's mouth, very little he says surprises me anymore. The man is a walking fount of filth.

The trail itself, with all of the revelations of the horrors and the Iraq people making the case will be like a constant made for television endorsement of the war. The value in PR of the trail is astounding.

John Kerry and his campaign manager, Mr. Peabody, make final adjustments to the Wayback Machine prior to Kerry going back in time to apprehend Saddam Hussein swifter than President Bush. Upon returning, Kerry states he will then attend to preventing Hindenburg, Titantic and Kobe Bryant tragedies.

When asked to elaborate, Vietnam Vet John F'n Kerry, who served in f'n Vietnam during the f'n Vietnam War, said "I'da f'n parachuted in and strangled the f'er with my own f'n hands. I served in f'n Vietnam, you know."

"If we had done this in a globalized way, if we had brought more people to the table, we might have caught Saddam Hussein sooner,"

He may have a point. We would've had to INVADE Paris, and there would have been a pretty good chance of catching Saddam there.

Kerry-I would have caught him sooner.

Dean-I would have caught a much bigger Saddam.

Clark-I would have embarrassed him more.

Lieberman-I would have had his parents in for a little talk.

If we had done this in a globalized way

Unilateralism=against the interests of France.

Globalized=submissive to the interests of France.

A few weeks ago, Kerry had descended from front-runner to also-ran. Now he's descended to laughingstock. I mean, do we read at all about him, except to see the latest moronic, embarassing thing he's done? I think soon Sharpton will poll ahead of him.

Even CNN has been in effect telling these guys to "shut the f*** up" and quit being so critical. They are burning up their political capital like a good cigar, and the American people are going to turn on them.

Yes, based on Sen. Kerry's supposed single-handed effort in Vietnam, Iraq would've been a breeze!

Kerry, hilereee, dean, and all the rest of the lib/dems are so jealous and green with envy it is pitiful. They are STALE. STALE. Just look at them. They represent the old way of doing things.

They never expected George W. Bush to be such a loving, kind, caring not to mention strong, resolved and determined President of our United States. They had all hoped he would fail land fall flat on his face. Boy were they out in left field.

Who has fallen flat on their faces? The dem/libs, the hollywood left and the rest of the idiots in their group. Jeanne barfalo " ohhhh, we'll go deep into the arab world, etc." Give me abreak jeanne barfalo...what you know about the Arab world and politics could go through the eye of a needle and still have "move around space."

All of these people are losers and loudmouths. They come and go while the serious stay focused. As someone said to me last night..."Treat the magnificent as routine." That my friends is what our dear President is doing. God bless him.

Incredibly,Kerry brought up his VN service again on Sean's show today.I think Kerry is addicted to Viet Nam and needs to get in a 12 step program.

What I want to know is which of the Demonic-Rat candidates would have even gone after So-D@mn Insane in the first place? "Would have gotten him sooner"? Give me a break - they wouldn't have started the war in the first place.

One step at a time John, take out another mortgage on your home and cross your fingers tightly, then perhaps you may be in a position to bring justice upon one faster.

Don't forget however, that extra 50.0001% of the vote that you will need to achieve the position to bring justice to foreign dictators.

After looking closely at Kerry and listening to him I have come to the conclusion that he is clinically DEAD! But, hey...the dead have been voting democrat for so many years I think it's time that they had their own candidate.

"If we had done this in a globalized way, if we had brought more people to the table, we might have caught Saddam Hussein sooner,"

If we had brought the French, Germans and Russians "to the table", American troops would still be waiting in Kuwait for permission to cross into Iraq and Saddam Hussein would still be the dictator of Iraq.

Kerry, on the other hand, would now be whining that, if he were President, he would have invaded Iraq last Spring, with or without the Axis of Weasels, and that he would have captured Saddam Hussein by now.
