The Capture of Saddam Hussein Was Staged
The Washington Dispatch ^ | December 18, 2003 | Frank Salvato

Posted on 12/18/2003 7:35:00 AM PST by The Rant

"I've been surprised [Bush] waited, but then I thought, well, politically, it probably doesn't make much sense to find [Saddam Hussein] just yet." Those were the words of Washington State Congressman Jim McDermott during a recent interview with KIRO radio in Seattle. He implied President Bush would have preferred to have waited until closer to the election to capture Saddam Hussein in an effort to “score more political points with voters.” He continued by saying, "There's too much by happenstance for it to be just a coincidental thing." Thus is the mentality of the liberal left in the United States of America.

This comes from a man nicknamed "Baghdad Jim." He was awarded this moniker because of remarks he made last year. One had President Bush “misleading the American people" on the issue of Iraq. He was heavily criticized for that statement and even drew denigration from some in his own party. And while on a trip to Baghdad before hostilities started he stated that Saddam Hussein was trustworthy. Saddam Hussein? Trustworthy? How did this guy get elected?

The hate that has been instilled within the liberal left of this country; courtesy of the McAuliffe/Clinton regime is so far beyond the realm of acceptability it is maddening. Was it wrong to feel shorted after the 2000 election if you were a Gore/Lieberman supporter? Absolutely not. It was a close race and their candidate lost. It wouldn’t have been normal for them not to feel cheated. It was the same way I felt when an inferior candidate in the man of Bill Clinton defeated George H. W. Bush, a man with a considerably more impressive resume. But until the moment when Clinton lied under oath I was willing to accept him as the president of the United States. Make no mistake, my disdain for Bill Clinton had nothing to do with him abusing his underlings sexually, it had everything to do with him breaking the law and violating his oath to uphold the US Constitution, two things he did when he perjured himself. He paid the price for it through his impeachment, thanks to those like US Rep. Henry Hyde who heeded the duties of his office. After that the respect I held for the man was replaced by a symbolic respect for the office of the presidency. But never did I possess the hatred in my heart for Bill Clinton that people like McDermott hold for George W. Bush today. And all this hatred coming from the “tolerant left.”

It needs to be pointed out that the win-at-all-costs tactics of Terry McAuliffe and his spin-minions nurtures the nucleolus of this infection. Guilty by association and by enabling them are those who placed him in the position he now holds, Bill and Hillary Clinton. He is their creation and just like Frankenstein when being chased by the frightened towns people, he is running amok. His win-at-all-cost arrogance is the platform and his chief tactic this time around is fostering the evil of hatred, hatred for another human being. Again, make no mistake; the hatred has moved on from being simply aimed at the policies of an administration, it is now targeting George W. Bush the man, husband and father. It is sickening.

In a way, should the unthinkable happen and Howard Dean win the presidency of the United States, I think I would be able to see a glimpse of sunshine during an otherwise category 5 hurricane and that glimpse of sunshine would be the demise of Terry McAuliffe and the Clinton DNC machine. Should the absurd happen I would hunker down inside my own political spider hole for four years solaced and nourished by the idea that McAuliffe’s days were through.

As for Jim McDermott, perhaps Washington State’s GOP Chairman Chris Vance said it best when he said, "Calling on [McDermott] to apologize is useless, but I call on other Democrats to let the public know if they agree with McDermott -- and Howard Dean, who recently said he thought it was possible that President Bush had advance knowledge about 9/11. The voters deserve to know if the entire Democratic Party believes in these sorts of bitter, paranoid conspiracy theories." Mr. McAuliffe? A comment sir?

Peter Jennings said Florida was called for Gore, and he said "It looks like OUR SIDE is winning."

How can he say something like that that and then claim that he is unbiased and impartial in his news reading? He can't, not honestly at least unless he is seriously delusional.

Mendacious or insane. That's the only choice.

These lies are a concerted effort by the Democrats to spread unfounded rumors. It is no accident.

This guy is a fruitcake just like Mamma Osama Murray.

The capture of Saddam Hussein was staged, just like the Mars Landing.

You can't fool me. I'm a liberal. I know what's going on.

I haven't exactly seen a lot of news recently and need somebody to straighten me out. I haven't seen a capture period.

I have seen a soldier demonstrating the removal of the styrofoam plug to the hole. I have seen inside the hold. I have seen the disheveled room and it's contents. I have seen the locale and I have seen a few moments of a bedraggled Sadam Hussein getting a medical exam.

I have not seen a "Rodney King " take down anywhere. If any body else has seen it, where is it. I am pissed I missed it.

I want to capture a frame and put it on my desktop.

I want to put it on a card and send it to all my conservative friends with a inscription. "Merry Christmas to the United States of America" from The fine people in the United States Armed Forces and George Bush.

I want to print it and put in the the bottom of my birdcage so every time my bird poops it hits him in the eye.

I want to print it and blow it up with his left eye being the bulls eye on my dart board.

I want to print a CD lable and put it on one of those irritating AOL CD's that I get every week in the mail and send it to my liberal brother.


I want to use it for puppy training the 2 new lab pups that I just got on Wednesday.

...any chance of this a-hole losing his seat after the next election, or are his constituents as looney as he?...

Believe me, the more loony a statement Baghdad Jim makes, the more his constituents love him. His district is carved in such a way that there are few suburbs of Seattle in it. In other words, people who are sensible enough to make enough money to live outside of the city are not his constituency. He's the representative of the welfare types, the artsy-fartsy community, and the radical student base of the University of Washington. The government overhead that supports the above three groups lives in this area, too, and they support the pork that he funnels their way.

Ostensibly, segregating these leftists to their own district should make it easier to elect Republicans in the surrounding areas, and sometimes that's worked. Here's hoping that 2004 will be like 1994, when WA sent a majority of its Congressional delegation from the Republican party.

"Baghdad Jim opens his pie hole and again shows what an idiot he is"

George W. Bush has done, nothing to the Demons, except try to please them. Which was wrong. He should be trying to please the people who voted him into office. W has never even said anything bad against a Demon, and yet they hate him.

I am dreading the 2004 elections , because I know the Demons are so power hungry they will be pulling out all stops to win, including voter fraud by the hundreds. This could be the end of this party, I pray. They are so far left, Hitler would look like a conservative besides them.

George needs to watch Lord of the Rings and realize that the message is: You cannot reason with nor deal with evil hoping that it will let you live another day. You MUST dispatch it with extreme prejudice at the earliest possible opportunity.

"the demise of Terry McAuliffe and the Clinton DNC machine"

Well .. this statement jumped out at me because Hillary has already made plans for the demise of the DNC (brought on by Dean). There is a new organization, ACT (Americans Coming Together), funded by Soros, and organized by members of the Clinton machine. They don't care if the DNC goes under, they have their own stealth organization already set up to take over.

And .. even if McAwful does get booted from the DNC .. I believe there would be a position for him at ACT ..??
