The Capture of Saddam Hussein Was Staged

The Washington Dispatch ^ | December 18, 2003 | Frank Salvato

[The Rant]

"I've been surprised [Bush] waited, but then I thought, well, politically, it probably doesn't make much sense to find [Saddam Hussein] just yet." Those were the words of Washington State Congressman Jim McDermott during a recent interview with KIRO radio in Seattle. He implied President Bush would have preferred to have waited until closer to the election to capture Saddam Hussein in an effort to “score more political points with voters.” He continued by saying, "There's too much by happenstance for it to be just a coincidental thing." Thus is the mentality of the liberal left in the United States of America.

This comes from a man nicknamed "Baghdad Jim." He was awarded this moniker because of remarks he made last year. One had President Bush “misleading the American people" on the issue of Iraq. He was heavily criticized for that statement and even drew denigration from some in his own party. And while on a trip to Baghdad before hostilities started he stated that Saddam Hussein was trustworthy. Saddam Hussein? Trustworthy? How did this guy get elected?

The hate that has been instilled within the liberal left of this country; courtesy of the McAuliffe/Clinton regime is so far beyond the realm of acceptability it is maddening. Was it wrong to feel shorted after the 2000 election if you were a Gore/Lieberman supporter? Absolutely not. It was a close race and their candidate lost. It wouldn’t have been normal for them not to feel cheated. It was the same way I felt when an inferior candidate in the man of Bill Clinton defeated George H. W. Bush, a man with a considerably more impressive resume. But until the moment when Clinton lied under oath I was willing to accept him as the president of the United States. Make no mistake, my disdain for Bill Clinton had nothing to do with him abusing his underlings sexually, it had everything to do with him breaking the law and violating his oath to uphold the US Constitution, two things he did when he perjured himself. He paid the price for it through his impeachment, thanks to those like US Rep. Henry Hyde who heeded the duties of his office. After that the respect I held for the man was replaced by a symbolic respect for the office of the presidency. But never did I possess the hatred in my heart for Bill Clinton that people like McDermott hold for George W. Bush today. And all this hatred coming from the “tolerant left.”

It needs to be pointed out that the win-at-all-costs tactics of Terry McAuliffe and his spin-minions nurtures the nucleolus of this infection. Guilty by association and by enabling them are those who placed him in the position he now holds, Bill and Hillary Clinton. He is their creation and just like Frankenstein when being chased by the frightened towns people, he is running amok. His win-at-all-cost arrogance is the platform and his chief tactic this time around is fostering the evil of hatred, hatred for another human being. Again, make no mistake; the hatred has moved on from being simply aimed at the policies of an administration, it is now targeting George W. Bush the man, husband and father. It is sickening.

In a way, should the unthinkable happen and Howard Dean win the presidency of the United States, I think I would be able to see a glimpse of sunshine during an otherwise category 5 hurricane and that glimpse of sunshine would be the demise of Terry McAuliffe and the Clinton DNC machine. Should the absurd happen I would hunker down inside my own political spider hole for four years solaced and nourished by the idea that McAuliffe’s days were through.

As for Jim McDermott, perhaps Washington State’s GOP Chairman Chris Vance said it best when he said, "Calling on [McDermott] to apologize is useless, but I call on other Democrats to let the public know if they agree with McDermott -- and Howard Dean, who recently said he thought it was possible that President Bush had advance knowledge about 9/11. The voters deserve to know if the entire Democratic Party believes in these sorts of bitter, paranoid conspiracy theories." Mr. McAuliffe? A comment sir?

It's not like abused women are testifying at an impeachment trial or anything.

LOL! Good one.

[Steel Wolf]

In all seriousness, Baghdad Jim is self destructing in a manner similar to many other Democrats. The motivation for doing so is simple. On one hand, they want to drum up support from the base. Many liberals in this country have taken up any number of conspiracy theories out of rage and frustration. The desire to tap into this massive welling up of rage is tempting.

On the other hand, Jim probably believes it personally, and like many liberals he's becoming desperate. He's trying to come up with anything that will turn people off of Bush and on to his message.

This particular tactic will prove devastating. While the 25% or so people that hate Bush and would never vote for him may be energized by his off the wall claimes, the other 75% will look at him like a complete lunatic.

More proof the Loony Left has lost it.

I think that the reason the liberal leftists believes that President Bush acts purely for his own personal partisan political and/or financial gain or for the gain of his close associates and loyalists is simply because they (the liberal leftists led by the Clintons, et al, for eight to ten years) do, in fact, act purely for their own personal partisan political and/or financial gain or for the gain of their close associates and loyalists and they cannot imagine that anyone else with any intelligence is not likewise motivated.

They project their own values on the world (by that I mean the politicians and other leaders, not the "easily led" unwashed masses) around them and fail to realize that they expose and condemn themselves in the process. What the liberal leftists accuse President Bush of is exactly the type of thing that the leftists have, in fact, done in the past or would do in his place today if they had the power.

How did this guy get elected?

Now that's almost as scary as Saddam Hussein.

[CWOJackson]

You haven't visited Seattle lately...

He will get re-elected easily.

[Tired_of_the_Lies]

A liar and a cheat will always think that everyone else is lying and cheating too.

Exactly what I tried to say in post #24, but I was not as succinct as you.

[concerned about politics]

Im still trying to figure out why the capture of Saddam "gives us an opportunity to internationalize the rebuilding effort". What does Saddam's capture have to do with anything regarding internationalizing?

Who knows? The left has gone totally insane. Their propaganda is all over the place. They're running into each other.

"The Bilderburgers have something to do with this...I KNOW they do..."

No, they don't ...
...because WE haven't told them yet.

That's a recklessly generous revisionist treatment. The Rats tried to steal that election in a dozen different ways, moving on to one illegal tack as soon as we shut one down.

Never forget the Rats are willing to tear up the Constitution and give up our very sovereignty to win any given election. Even today they are soliciting election money outside of this country!

The socialists(democrats) will have ammunition for this theory from the task force report on 9-11 They can pick and choose items to reinforce their theory.

"The chairman of the independent commission investigating the 9/11 attacks is hinting that he's prepared to place blame at the doorstep of the Bush White House for not acting on evidence that could have prevented the catastrophe."

[Tacis]

My view is that Baghdad Jim is very frustrated and , perhaps, a little hurt by Saddam's capture. I'm sure Saddam or his many "associates" in the US have provided cash gifts to the Congressman and that Saddam's capture makes future gifts unlikely. I'm sure that when you rely n that much cash over a long period of time to fill in the gaps, it is painful when they stop. I feel dishonesty is the explanation because no one could be that stupid.

I know: it was filmed on the same sound stage as the moon landings!

[BobinIL]

This guy should take over as Art Bell's replacement. The Democrats want to get a radio show of their own I think the old Art Bell show with this guy as a host is as close as they will come to being successful. These people are as delusional as the Islamonazi's

[Tired_of_the_Lies]

Are these "Overlords" extra-terrestrials, humans from the future, humans from the present that are mutated or genetically enhanced to be super-intelligent, or simply average, everyday, run-of-the-mill, homo sapians who like to be in charge? Just curious.

[concerned about politics]

"The chairman of the independent commission investigating the 9/11 attacks is hinting that he's prepared to place blame at the doorstep of the Bush White House for not acting on evidence that could have prevented the catastrophe."

It was being planned 5 years in advance? Where was Clinton, and what did he know?
Heck, Bush was still getting the Whitehouse exorcized and people moved in because of the 2000 attempted election theft! The CIA and FBI were still working on bootleg videos for Bills Hollywood friends.

A Dem's dream or nightmare:

Carl Rove whispers to George W. "Sir, we need to stop at the convenience store in Crawford and get another bag of ice. Osama is thawing a bit."

GW "Can we keep him on ice at least until the Dem Convention? That'll be a hoot, hauling him out then. That'll steal their thunder, even if Mattie did almost mess this up by spilling the beans."

[BlueLancer]

Well, to tell the truth, nobody has actually ever SEEN them. That's why they're called "unseen/unknown overlords". But we know they exist ...

...the pay is good and the fringe benefits are very comfortable ...

...and they send us messages through email and over the phone telling us what to do (like Bosley used to get in the old "Charlie's Angels" TV show).

So, they must be real ... right?

[Eva]

You forgot to mention the absurd remark that Madelaine Albright made to Mort Kondrake, suggesting the Bush may have Osama hidden somewhere to bring out as an October surpise. I think you are right when you say that the hate mongering is part of the Democrat strategy, and I think that the rumor mongering is part of that stategy also. They are following all of Saul Alinsky's rules for radicals, tell a lie often enough that you push it through to the other side. The instructions to repeat the paranoid hate stories must be part of the daily Democrat talking points.

[concerned about politics]

I think a lot of Americans are getting a little upset over the lefts support of Saddam. They're security is more important to them than Saddams "feelings" or wacked out conspiracy theories.
I think I smell a Republican landslide. Most people aren't as stupid as Democrats think they are. Only the hard core kookie left is agreeing with any of this this nonsence. They're making fools out of themselves.
