Rocker David Byrne has accused US President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for leading the country the same way the late Saddam Hussein led Iraq.
Byrne is stunned at the Iraq war and is vehemently against it, said contactmusic.com. He said: 'It's like we are in shock. At least I am. The majority of Americans don't want to commit more troops, Congress doesn't want to commit more troops, but George and Dick do and by god they are gonna have it. And I thought, 'Can they just do this?' I thought only people like Saddam Hussein could do those kind of things.'

If this mierda is still alive, then Bush and Cheney are definitely not like Sadaam.

"Rocker" used loosely.
Wrongly, in fact.

Damn, I always hate it when a good musician says something stupid. He should stick to his music and leave politics to those who know what they're talking about. At least Bono did some research before launching his crusade (not that I agree with him).

when record sales plummet, appeal to the 1/3 of the nation who supports his statement... maybe then he'll make some sales

Why do some people consider the opinion of musicians newsworthy?

Gee, a guy who has spent his entire adult life making music knows more about waging war than the President of the United States?
