What I'd Say

The Globe and Mail offers this as a headline "White House emissaries head abroad to recast war." Accompanying this, is a secondary headline which reads "Toppling Hussein replaces weapons cache as main justification for U.S.-led attack." The first paragraph then offers this,

"Seeking to recast its reasons for toppling Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq, the Bush administration is sending high-ranking officials abroad to justify the war as good for humanity,..."

Instead of uselessly spending additional dollars on emissaries and banquets, take out an ad in the major international dailies and say this.

Saddam Hussein was, and is, a two-bit scumbag dictator who willingly slaughtered thousands of his own people, mostly by proxy, but likely also by his own hand, in his ruthless covetousness for absolute power.

For twelve years, or more, each and every UN member nation twiddled their thumbs and mentally masturbated, like a teenage girl deciding on which dress to wear to the prom, while in Iraq innocent individuals just kept on dying.

It went on long enough, and, since someone has to lead, the US went into Iraq and knocked the shit out of the Baathist fawners and pulled Saddam’s hairy, ugly ass out of a hole in the ground.  God willing, his hairy, ugly ass will soon be back in a hole.

There aren’t any WMD’s, there aren’t any biological weapons and there is no longer a power hungry, ruthless dictator pushing the Iraqi’s around.

If you truly have a problem with that, check your moral premises rather than allowing them to gather any more dust than they currently have.

Screw all of you.  Especially you leaders of countries who are not cast far from the tree from which Saddam fell as fruit.

Such an ad would not cost much and it would be the truth.

  1. Saddam is certainly an asshole.  But it looks like he wasn’t a liar.  I see little vindication here for the lying assholes who started a war.

  2. Lee - I didn’t say anything about vindication.  In regards to the “lying assholes who started the war,” if, you listened carefully, to the media windbags, most were hollering that Saddam didn’t have WMDs and such, prior, to the start of action in Iraq.  Are you saying that you absolutely accepted as truth the words that were being fed to you by the adminstration, and you disregarded what the media was saying?

  3. “If you truly have a problem with that, check your moral premises rather than allowing them to gather any more dust than they currently have.”

    I’m just glad that the US showed the moral leadership necessary to bind 300 million people into tax slavery to accomplish this task.

  4. John - Saying you were lied to by a president is like claiming you were misled by a tobacco executive.  It’s just the old refrain: But I didn’t know!  No, I didn’t place very much credence in the admininistration’s claims.  And neither do I believe that many people were moved to support this war because of the admin’s (mis)representations.  If anything, the admin was just telling people what they wanted to hear.  WMDs?  Works for me!

    But just because I didn’t believe them, and even if no one believed them, that doesn’t mean they didn’t lie--blatantly and repeatedly.  So now they want tell us all about what a bad man Saddam is? Puh-leeze. If they didn’t expect anyone to believe them about Saddam’s weapons, then why do they expect us believe them about Saddam?

  5. John - In a post some time ago, at my old blog, I stated that I did not support the means, taxes, I am coerced to pay, to fund this.  I have no disagreement with your statement.

  6. Isn’t politics simply a euphenism for lying?
