Comments on: Bush On Saddam: ‘That Motherf*cker Tried To Take Out My Dad’ http://thinkprogress.org/2007/07/14/bush-saddam-dad/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 20:48:28 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Habman http://thinkprogress.org/2007/07/14/bush-saddam-dad/comment-page-4/#comment-3947463 Habman Thu, 19 Jul 2007 13:46:15 +0000 http://edit.thinkprogress.org/2007/07/14/bush-saddam-dad/#comment-3947463 As someone who was 100% anti-war from the very beginning of all of this, even right after 9/11, you all are surprised by this? Bush was and is what he always was a fascist and a statist, and he is no different from 99% of all of those in the Federal Government. I have to laugh when people vote for a pig and are surprised when it oinks. And funniest of all is everyone that voted for the Democrats expecting them to impeach Bush, end the war, or really change anything. They are profiting from this war as much as the Republicans are, and if they start impeachment proceeding the whole system will be exposed for what it truly is, a large stinking cesspool of corruption!

It's also perfectly OK as far as I'm concerned. Saddam "green lighted" a president of the US. We SHOULD go in and kill anyone who does that - no trials, no crap just dead like a dog. I'm not OK with the lies that were used instead of this reason. Frankly it’s plausible. It’s also perfectly OK as far as I’m concerned. Saddam “green lighted” a president of the US.

If they had replayed that tape ad nauseum, they way they do when they cover more sensationalistic stories, it might have given people pause. This, the worst of all possible reasons for invading a country, is totally characteristic of Bush. This is just one more black mark against the MSM for not getting who Bush was and is, but who for years, projected some sort of heroic image on to him that was bogus from the start.
