Real nice guy............Say "Hi!" to Stalin, Mao and Adolf....
And the liberals in this country are all claiming that our President is a worse mass murderer than this piece of sh*t. Maybe they should read a book or two before they open their mouths and demonstrate how ignorant they all are.

What do the trolls at DU have to say about this?
Fox News is running a crawl that says that the Rt. Reverend Je$$e Jack$on is requesting that Saddam's life be spared.
As far as libs are concerned, not all victims are created equal.
I think they should write down all the ways he killed people on slips of paper and put them in a hat. Let him know what they are and have him draw one. Exectution by whatever method he used on others. Then he doesn't know until the last minute. He can sweat it out thinking about what he did to all those poor people.
Probably not much different from the the libs in USENET are saying.
Check out this USENET title in alt.politics (Barf Alert)

It's not a pretty picture.
Jeez louise, those people need to use their noggins for something besides a hat rack.
Saddam was the victim according to that liberal freak
So many innocent victims of Saddam. Soon he may have to answer for them all
Iraq: Fear of further extrajudicial executions
Gee, who knew that Amnesty International was a tool of George Bush.
Don'cha just love moonbats?
TV news said that Gerald Ford thought the Iraq war a big mistake. Would have been better to let Saddam Hussein continue with his mass murders and hideous tortures? Would have been better to let the terrorists continue to use Iraq and Afghanistan as training grounds and safe havens?
Many Americans, including old Presidents, have lost their sense of right and wrong. They are even afraid to use our military power to protect the United States. What will it take, several more "9/11's" to wake the brain-dead?
