Funny, that this is the darling of the left, who sent children out to fight, hiding in a 'fraidy hole like the coward he is.

We must never fear calling a spade a spade, or a devil a devil. And Saddam Hussein is that. So this must be 'sympathy for the devil'?
Before I 'catch hell' I just hope we LEARN from our mistakes, and stop coddling Islamic leaders simply for momentary convenience.

WOW!!! If I didn't know better, I'd say this author didn't like Saddam....smile.
I wish he had flinched so one of our soldiers could have taken him out. He'll smirk at a trial like Milosovek (sp??) is doing now. He's been on trial for several years now. And who knows when it'll end. People like them don't get their just deserts quickly enough to suit me.

(original from John Ringo, paratrooper and author. do him a favor, visit www.johnringo.com, and maybe buy one of his books: he's a good conservative. . . if a trifle wacky today (he's moving into a new home, that drives ANYONE loony). Apologies to Monty Python)
SOLDIER #1:
We have found Saddam. May we burn him?
BATTALION:
Burn him! Burn! Burn him! Burn him!
BREMER:
How do you know he is Saddam?
SOLDIER #2:
He looks like him.
BATTALION:
Right! Yeah! Yeah!
BREMER:
Bring him forward.
SADDAM:
I'm not Saddam. I'm not Saddam.
BREMER:
Uh, but you are dressed as him.
SADDAM:
They dressed me up like this.
BATTALION:
Augh, we didn't! We didn't...
SADDAM:
And this isn't my beard. It's a false one.
BREMER:
Well?
SOLDIER #1:
Well, we did do the beard.
BREMER:
The nose?
SOLDIER #1:
And the hat, but he is Saddam!
SOLDIER #2:
Yeah!
BATTALION:
We burn him! Right! Yeaaah! Yeaah!
BREMER:
Did you dress him up like this?
SOLDIER #1:
No!
SOLDIER #2 and 3:
No. No.
SOLDIER #2:
No.
SOLDIER #1:
No.
SOLDIERS #2 and #3:
No.
SOLDIER #1:
Yes.
SOLDIER #2:
Yes.
SOLDIER #1:
Yes. Yeah, a bit.
SOLDIER #3:
A bit.
SOLDIERS #1 and #2:
A bit.
SOLDIER #3:
A bit.
SOLDIER #1:
The DNA matches.
BREMER:
What makes you think he is Saddam?
SOLDIER #3:
Well, he dropped nerve gas on me.
BREMER:
Nerve gas?
SOLDIER #3:
I got better.
SOLDIER #2:
Burn him anyway!
SOLDIER #1:
Burn!
BATTALION:
Burn him! Burn! Burn him!...
BREMER:
Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! There are ways of telling whether he is Saddam.
SOLDIER #1:
Are there?
SOLDIER #2:
Ah?
SOLDIER #1:
What are they?
BATTALION:
Tell us! Tell us!...
BREMER:
Tell me. What do you do with dictators?
SOLDIER #2:
Burn!
SOLDIER #1:
Burn!
BATTALION:
Burn! Burn them up! Burn!...
BREMER:
And what do you burn apart from dictators?
SOLDIER #1:
More dictators!
SOLDIER #3:
Shh!
SOLDIER #2:
Wood!
BREMER:
So, why do dictators burn?
[pause]
SOLDIER #3:
B--... 'cause they're made of... wood?
BREMER:
Good! Heh heh.
BATTALION:
Oh, yeah. Oh.
BREMER:
So, how do we tell whether he is made of wood?
SOLDIER #1:
Build a bridge out of him.
BREMER:
Ah, but can you not also make bridges out of stone?
SOLDIER #1:
Oh, yeah.
BREMER:
Does wood sink in water?
SOLDIER #1:
No. No.
SOLDIER #2:
No, it floats! It floats!
SOLDIER #1:
Throw him into the oasis!
BATTALION:
The oasis! Throw him into the oasis!
BREMER:
What also floats in water?
SOLDIER #1:
Bread!
SOLDIER #2:
Apples!
SOLDIER #3:
Uh, very small rocks!
SOLDIER #1:
Cider!
SOLDIER #2:
Uh, gra-- gravy!
SOLDIER #1:
Cherries!
SOLDIER #2:
Mud!
SOLDIER #3:
Uh, churches! Churches!
SOLDIER #2:
Lead! Lead!
BUSH:
A duck!
BATTALION:
Oooh.
BREMER:
Exactly. So, logically...
SOLDIER #1:
If... he... weighs... the same as a duck,... he's made of wood.
BREMER:
And therefore?
SOLDIER #2:
Saddam!
SOLDIER #1:
Saddam!
BATTALION:
Saddam! Saddam!...
SOLDIER #4:
Here is a duck. Use this duck.
[quack quack quack]
BREMER:
Very good. We shall use my largest scales.
BATTALION:
Ohh! Ohh! Burn Saddam! Burn him! Burn him! Burn him! Burn him! Burn him!
Burn him! Burn him! Burn him! Ahh! Ahh...
BREMER:
Right. Remove the supports!
[whop]
[clunk]
[creak]
BATTALION:
Saddam! Saddam! Saddam!
SADDAM:
It's a fair cop.

Good read!
To: Brad's Gramma
I posted this on another thread but it seems appropriate here also.
Isaiah 14
"How the oppressor has ceased,
The golden city ceased!
5The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked,
The scepter of the rulers;
6He who struck the people in wrath with a continual stroke,
He who ruled the nations in anger,
Is persecuted and no one hinders.
7The whole earth is at rest and quiet;
They break forth into singing.
8Indeed the cypress trees rejoice over you,
And the cedars of Lebanon,
Saying, "Since you were cut down,
No woodsman has come up against us.'
9"Hell from beneath is excited about you,
To meet you at your coming;
It stirs up the dead for you,
All the chief ones of the earth;
It has raised up from their thrones
All the kings of the nations.
10They all shall speak and say to you:
"Have you also become as weak as we?
Have you become like us?
11Your pomp is brought down to Sheol,
And the sound of your stringed instruments;
The maggot is spread under you,
And worms cover you.'
16"Those who see you will gaze at you,
And consider you, saying:
"Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
Who shook kingdoms,
17Who made the world as a wilderness
And destroyed its cities,
Who did not open the house of his prisoners?'
How timeless is the Word of God! These words from Isaiah are spoken about the king of Babylon but seem so appropriate for our own current events. Praise God, the same yesterday, today, and forever!

Passing on some gems from Bob's comments at lonsberry.com:
1. Q: What were Saddam's first words when he was brought out of the hole?
A: "I endorse Howard Dean"
2. Saddam's defense at trial...stage four syphilis
3. Now that Saddam is in custody, will Dan Rather get conjugal visits?

Is that Lindberg shaking hands with Hitler?

He was moved from safehouse to safehouse, and there was usually a spider-hole close by in case the US got too close. No telling how many times they walked right over him. The farmhouse where he was staying had fresh food, clothing still in the package and documents that has already led to arrests of resistance leaders.
The spider-hole was a hiding place, not where he was staying.
But now he's really in the quagmire!!

Why don't you learn some history, before proving just how utterly stupid you are, by posting something as crimminally moronic as this ?
Also, it would be an uptick, if you also were even the least bit able to think, pet. :-)

Funny, isn't it, how so many DUers sign up and wait, only to expose themselves a bit later, isn't it ?
