We were overseas (Saudi Arabia) when he was vice president and I heard one of his speeches on Sadaam Hussein.
Hussein said that the "war" was going to be the "mother of all wars." Cheney's remark referring to that statement? It seemed more like the "mother of all retreats."
I chuckled over that for WEEKS. It was SO on the money. Hussein was a blithering idiot...the "mother of all jackasses."
Do you remember where they found him? He was in a hidey-hole hiding from the Americans.
All his SONS went out in a blaze of gunfire, dying in their boots with more courage than their cowardly a-hole father.
I remember the Saudi television where they showed Hussein watching television with his family. There were all his children and grandchildren. They were watching the TORTURE of Iranian prisoners and LAUGHING. It was probably the most sickening thing I ever saw on the tube.
Everyone in the middle east HATED him. Even my mild-mannered, gentle boss, Mohammed (of course) called him a "bad man." That was strong language for him.
>Everyone in the middle east HATED him.<

And what do you think of the “enlightened, democratically inclined” president that we replaced Saddam with?
I guess you’re not reading up on the mass slaughter of Christians taking place in Iraq. The few Christians living under Saddam were not persecuted by his regime.
You must be of the opinion that things in Iraq are better today except for the few car and suicide bombs going off here and there.
