Jesse Jackson on Saddam Hussein Headlines aljazeera.net
30 Dec 2006 | St. Reagan

Posted on 12/30/2006 4:23:53 AM PST by Saint Reagan

Anyone who thinks our enemies aren't aware of what goes on at home has his head completely in the sand. This is further evidenced by Al-Jazeera's front page story today.

جيسي جاكسون: صدام كان مجرما لكنه كان حليفنا أيضا

The literal translation is:
Jesse Jackson: Saddam Hussein was an evil man, but he was also our ally

Think about that for a minute. Arab news doesn't even feel the need to explain who the hell Jesse Jackson is. They're that aware of our internal politics. Furthermore, this makes their front page story!! It would be nice if one day, we as a country would stop handing our enemies ammunition. They are completely in-tune with what's going on over here.

...MiGs... Mirage F1. French, I believe.

I think he had both. Wasn't there news coverage of MiGs being buried in the sand early in the search for WMD's?

The penalty for treason should be death by hanging.

I think you're right. However, the subject was the type of plane that fired the Exocets at the USS Stark. French missles, French planes.

Jesse has no moral core, he is all about $$$. The church pimp.

Does anyone doubt that there is an alliance of the left/jihadists/race-hucksters?

The literal translation is:

Jesse Jackson: Saddam Hussein was an evil man, a criminal, but he was also our ally

It's "corrected" to reflect the Arabic content. I don't believe that Jesse would use the word "criminal." LOL

It also possibly was a good strategy at one point. Does Jesse realize Iran was viewed as a bigger threat at the time?

That's a good point. People like Jackson don't understand that in order to stop a greater evil, one must sometimes work with some very nasty people in the world. That doesn't mean we approve of them or like them; we just have to deal with them. Stalin against the Nazis, Hussein against Iran and Pinochet against the Communists are a few that come to mind.

Jesse Jackson is an enemy of our country.

Germany, Japan, Great Britan, and Italy were our enemies at one time, Jesse, quit using selective history.

I understand, but I think Jesse Jackson is BOTH an evil man and a criminal!!! What kind of a "nut" makes such a ludicrous statement???? I mean, it's bizarre!!!

Yes, in fact the literal translation of Jesse Jackson statement says: "Saddam was a criminal but he was our ally".
