No pretense of moral clarity here!
At least one blogger believes that Saddam Hussein wasn't all that bad: Saddam was a bad guy, but it isn't clear he's any worse of a guy than some of the folks who are a part of our "Coalition of the Willing," so this pretense of moral clarity, etc... is ridiculous.Hmmmmm..... Well, let me say one thing: this blog does not have any pretenses of moral clarity! If you find any, let me know, and I'll be properly ashamed. The next thing we'll hear is that the Saddam Hussein capture -- just in time for Christmas -- was just another orchestrated PR stunt for Dubya's reelection. (That they knew all along where he was, and were just waiting for the right time... something like that.) I think the situation calls for satire. Since I am lucky enough to have gotten an Instalanche on my last post, let me float an idea for either a cartoon or a Photo Shop project (something I am not competent to do). Remember the uproar over Bush and the Thanksgiving turkey? How about using that same picture, and instead of the turkey, substituting a suckling pig -- with Saddam Hussein's head holding an apple in his mouth? I can see it now. (Wish I knew how to draw or use Photo Shop....) By the way, Saddam-Suckling-Pig Hussein was not my idea; it was my elusive helper, Justin Case. But ideas cannot be copyrighted!
another plastic Turkey moment. Another moment that does not really matter. (via InstaPundit.)So the capture of Saddam Hussein is the equivalent of a turkey? And a fake, plastic one at that? What next? Surely you don't think they'd go so far as to call this feast part of a PatternOfDeception(TM), do you? Hey, forget my PhotoShop remarks, OK?
Isn't it convenient that the capture comes right on the heals of the Halliburton gas price scandal? Seems a little too convenient. Obviously they've had Saddam for months waiting for just the right moment to "announce" his capture. Cheney forced the issue to bring him out of hiding now to protect his Halliburton buddies. He wants to push the gas price scandal out of view, and he's going to succeed unless we keep attacking.
"I've heard that they had him for months and only pulled him out now because of the elections"I wish someone could spread some oil on such psychotically troubled waters. Anti-Bush hatred has taken on the earmarks of complete hysteria, and things are getting to the point where I think Bush himself ought to do something, and I don't know what! Not to win any election, but simply to remind those who hate him (and those ordinary folks who find themselves increasingly baffled by the metastasizing hatred) that he is, simply, a human being. (Ronald Reagan was to the right of Bush, yet he was nowhere nearly as excoriated. One of the things he used to do was to meet with enemies....) UPDATE: And here's the last word on the Atta/Hussein connection: an exclusive interview with Saddam Hussein himself, via Meryl Yourish. U.S.: Let's talk a little bit about Mohammed Atta.I don't know what happened at this point. Guess they lost the signal....

"Saddam was a bad guy" is a classic bit of understatement from the Bush-hating left... Might as well say "Saddam was a naughty boy."

All Bush needs to do is let them keep spewing this garbage and he'll win in 2004 by a landslide. It's too bad.
