At one point (35 years ago), i believed every thing our government would say. Young dumb and full of C_____. We were the good guys, i thought! What a snow job. Do any one believe anything from this administration? We live and lean.

SECULAR SADDAM was fighting an AMERICAN WAR against ISLAMIC RADICALS of his own nation whereas RADICAL RELIGIOUS BUSH is fighting an ISLAMIC JIHAD against AMERICANS by giving our TAX PAYED MONEY and WEAPONS to ISLAMIC RADICALS like MALIKI,MUQTADA AL SADR,etc. for the killing of US troops in IRAQ.

Saddam is dead and the chimp still has a monkey on his back, Iraq. The chimp is huddled up in Tx with his yes-man staff and defining a plan od action. Well the chimp should have had a plan when he first got us into this war, and four years later he decides he needs a plan. Why? The4 chimp does not even know who the the good guys are. This president should be impeached for stupidity.

After we pull out there will be a civil war and the country will go back to what it was before, and the price of oil will really climb.

This president, along with cheny, should have been beside Saddam, awaiting their turn. The chimp and the co-president are liars, and cannot be trusted.

SADDAM was fighting an AMERICAN WAR against ISLAMIC RADICALS whereas BUSH is fighting an ISLAMIC JIHAD against Americans by giving our TAX MONEY on the name of REBUILDING IRAQ and WEAPONS on the name of ARMING IRAQI SECURITY FORCES to ISLAMIC RADICALS like MALIKI,MUQTADA AL SADR,etc which they are using to kill our troops in IRAQ.
BUSH should be hanged for killing our troops in IRAQ by AMERICAN TAX PAYER'S MONEY.

Why PSYCHOTIC CHRISTIANS are so happy about SADDAM's hanging?Because SADDAM had a CHRISTIAN FOREING MINISTER and had fought against ISLAMIC RADICALISM all his life.When SADDAM was about to be killed, his killers were chanting the name of THE MOST ANTI-AMERICAN RADICAL ISLAMIC CLERIC MUQTADA AL SADR which shows that these PSYCHOTIC CHRISTIANS are again playing in the hands of RADICAL ISLAMIST like they were at the time of CHRISTIAN REAGAN who had given MONEY,WEAPONS and MILITARY TRAINING to OSAMA BEEN-FORGOTTEN.These PSYCHOTIC CHRISTIANS have force the American people to send their TAX PAYED MONEY to an ISLAMIC RADICAL named MALIKI who is an IRAQI GOVERNOR appointed form the IRANIAN REGIME.Who is using our tax money and our weapons to kill our soldiers.The only way to our survival is to start practicing our constitution which separates CHURCH from STATE.
CHRISTIANITY is PSYCHOSIS and CHRISTIANS are the WORST PSYCHOTICS.The way CHRISTIAN PSYCHOTICS are incapabale to understand and reason that why JESUS LOVING CHRISTIANS are GOD-NEGLECTED and why JESUS HATING PEOPLE are the GOD-CHOSEN ENEMIES OF THE GOD'S ONLY SON,same way these PSYCHOTIC and *** CHRISTIANS are incaplable to understand how devastating it's for USA and her people to send their tax payed money to an ISLAMIC RADICAL MALIKI for the killing of our troops in IRAQ, whose RADICAL RELIGION teaches to kill INFIDELS for the 2nd coming of their IMAM MEHDI.

The way Saddam died is exactly the way prisoners in this country ,that have been sentenced to death should go.Quick and expidient.Here they linger in appeals fpr 10 yrs or more.When they find you guilty and you have had an appeal attempt fail,then off to the gallows it would be a hell of alot cheaper on the judicial system.

annd2302, when you say you don't think anybody could do any better than GWB and co are you referring to their handling of Iraq (the situation today), Iraq (as an apparent fight against the war on terror), the economy, medicare reform, other social issues, etc? I couldn't really tell from your comment :)

Also, the Constitution guarantees individuals the right to free speech on political issues because it's crucial in a democracy to have checks on government power. The rationale is that the best and brightest ideas will ultimately prevail and gain popular support while the less effective ideas will ultimately fail - action is not supposed to be based absolutely and unquestioningly on a couple of people who happened to win an election. 1A also gives public figures such as Bush less protection from public censure based on the rationale that he has voluntarily chosen to inject himself into the public sphere - thus if an individual is too sensitive to handle the concomitant criticism then it's on him to bow out of the limelight.

Plus MAYBE there's troops in Iraq that really don't feel supported when people like you say rah rah to the war and that means they have to put their life on the line for 6 more months and spend another Christmas away from their family but they just aren't at liberty to say (?)

I think the hanging of Saddam made him look like a angel, and his masked killers, representing the Iraq and US governments, like criminals. It was a poor public relations event. It once again reminded us of the failure of global leadership. I am not surprised that Europe, other than the British government, is mute. I think it is silent disgust over sadistic voyeurism. The world needs to learn from Nelson Mandela leadership and how he forgave ruthless and brutal white supremacists who ruled South Africa for decades by the sway of the bullet. They are still in South Africa, living freely. However, the nation has since healed. It takes real leadership to achieve that.

It seems like now US tried to halt Saddams Execution. In my opinion as a US Veteran he should have gotten life in prison. It seems to me that US really wanted to stop this Yeah Right. I believe its time to bring our kids home, US has won the war in Iraq by removing its so called leaders. We cannot afford to go into every single country and expect them to change they way we US live. There are so many others countries out there who have leaders worst than Saddam.

HAHAHA They (bush admin) wanted the Iraqis to delay the execution...and they did it anyways. Good for them. It's their country and thinking we can tell them what to do...shows how much we believe in democracy.

Raghad Saddam Hussein,

Where do you live? Jordan...You have no right or opinion in this matter. Your nothing but a aristocrat in exile. Meaning shut up and deal with it. Your family didnt even go into Iraq and claim the bodies of your brothers and father.

I'm glad they did what they wanted regardless of what others think.

Sorry I posted that three times, but if CBS would spend as much time taking care of buttons that don't work right as they do putting propaganda and none news together, it wouldn't have happened.

annd2302, either its time for you to go take your meds or else you've overdosed on some of them. Either way its evident you haven't been taking them like you should, because you seem to be quite delusional, and it seems that you may be suffering from hallucinations again. Why don't you take your meds like you should? If you did, then maybe you would realize we're not in Kansas anymore. Now call Toto and go back to your room.

annb:

To answer your question: I could do a better job of running this country than GWB. I am also a TRUE AMERICAN and as my family has fought for this great nation, I do have the right to speak up. I will agree with you that Nixon did a great job with foreign policy. His efforts with China opened the door for us that remain open today. Nixon just got caught trying to cover up a mistake. So dont think you can speak for me, for I can speak for myself. If you want to blindly follow this incompetent president, please do so for you have that right. I on the other hand have the tight to challenge not only this president but any president.

Happy New Year to you and your family..

annd2302:

"First off, why don%u2019t you stop bashing the Commander and Chief and his staff. Think more positively. I have been reading these issues for quite some time and frankly, just who the hell else could do any better?"

My dog could do better. My cat could do better. My babysitter could do better. And so on...

First off, why don%u2019t you stop bashing the Commander and Chief and his staff. Think more positively. I have been reading these issues for quite some time and frankly, just who the hell else could do any better? This is not a place to bash, moan and groan, rather a place of defending our nation and supporting our soldiers and support personnel in IRAQ. I suppose you 3 would also have negative comments about KB&R also.

I spent my time as a matter of fact I spent a tremendous amount of time in our military system and for the most part, all and I mean all of the political leaders have done quite a good job, even Nixon. I bet that struck a nerve, huh?

Folks, even the towel heads who supported Hussein read these blogs, let%u2019s go ahead and bash our own leaders, hell why not each of our families. Lets let them know our true mentality; all we can do is ***, *** and *** about everything, never a good thing to say.

God bless our great nation, God bless our great leaders and
God bless those who fight for us in IRAQ

Patrotic(go find a bible and grow up)

And Lastly: Ghareeb, get off our internet and go the hell back to your oun country you ignorant hirudo medicinalis
