Ice Cube has blasted the American government saying that Saddam Hussein is no worse than George Bush. The rapper made the comments when talking about his new album ‘Laugh Now, Cry Later’ which airs his political views. On the track ‘Why We Thugs’ Cube tackles US law enforcers and President Bush himself. As breakingnews quotes, he said: "What's the difference between Saddam's tactics and what the federal and local government can do? "I know people that's been tortured in jail. I know people that's been pulled out of their house in the middle of the night. But see, we just call them LAPD. We call 'em sheriffs. "Saddam wasn't out there doing it with his own hands. He had his people. His people worked for the federal government. Same tactics. "There's nothing happening in Iraq that ain't happening here on this soil, so, to me, it's the same shit."

Ice Cube is a muslim by the way. Screw him.

[RasterMaster]

Can't sell your CD, just bash Bush...yea, that'll work, NOT!

[John Jorsett]

Saddam wasn't out there doing it with his own hands. He had his people. His people worked for the federal government. Same tactics.

If that were true, you'd already be in a mass grave, along with every member of your family.

[Imgr8t]

When will people learn? What's the best way to promote a new album? Say something stupid.

My advice is to continue ignoring him.

[blam]

When did we start listening to these uneducated, idiot, inner-city ghetto thugs?

[HisKingdomWillAbolishSinDeath]

At least he is honest about his feelings, unlike Murtha and company. Now if he would just back up his words with actions, and move to Iran or Syria, those Utopian Islamic countries.

[BipolarBob]

More "wisdom" from the entertainment world. They don't know when to shut up.

[GOP_Raider]

They use the same tactics...

And the bloods and crips, they are out in Compton giving food to the needy? Stick to the rap game O'Shea.

[Niteranger68]

If that were true, you'd already be in a mass grave, along with every member of your family.

BINGO!!!

[Huntress]

I have a hard time taking a guy who calls himself "Ice Cube" seriously.

"I know people that's been tortured in jail. I know people that's been pulled out of their house in the middle of the night. But see, we just call them LAPD. We call 'em sheriffs.

Wow! He's sooo smart. Maybe we should listen to him.

[LucyJo]

No, "Ice Cube", President Bush doen NOT use the same tactics as Saddam. If he did, you would have been fed feet first into a chipper/shredder machine (or something equally horrendous) for saying such a thing!

[Argus]

Seems to me this guy moved out of Compton so long ago how would he know anything going on there?

Stay in the mansion and count your money fool.

"What's the difference between Saddam's tactics and what the federal and local government can do?"

If this were Saddam's Iraq, Mr. Cube, you'd already have your 'nads in a jar or worse just for saying this.

[pissant]

Worthless, ignorant, racist POS.

[TNCMAXQ]

The federal government uses thuggish, oppressive tactics? How about aiming some of that criticism then at the local prosecutor in NC who is railroading those Duke guys!?

[pissant]

Deomcrats are the abusers of power. Always have been.

[GreenAccord]

Aw, come on, slushy! (That's what I call Ice Cube, cuz we be GUD friends!)

Lay down some more insightful $hiizzit.

You know how much your opinion matters.

Oh, by the way, they're called warrants, issued by judges. That's how home were invaded. I wouldn't suppose you had any Iraqi warrants to compare them to, would you?
