Joerg Haider: "US may have arrested Saddam's double" ["capture is a scam"; Israel is a dictatorship]

Vienna, Dec 17 - US troops may have arrested a double of Saddam Hussein and DNA testing does not prove conclusively that they have captured the Iraqi dictator, Austrian Freedom Party ex-leader Joerg Haider said late Tuesday.

Calling the capture "slapstick" and a "real scam", Haider told national ORF television: "This may be one of his many doubles."

"The saliva tests they did mean nothing if they did not have earlier specimens to which they could compare it," the former leader of Austria's far-right Freedom Party added.

Haider visited Saddam in Baghdad in February 2002 and caused a stir on eve of the Iraq war when he said he was prepared to offer the Iraqi leader shelter.

On Tuesday he said he felt that morally there was little difference between Saddam and US President George W. Bush.

"I would be hard-pressed to choose between the two. Both have acted at odds with international law, committed human rights abuses. The one has the good luck to lead a superpower ... while the other was just a poor dictator.

Haider also said that Saddam was not the worst dictator in the world, or in the Middle East.

"In comparison with other dictators from China, and to Israel I have to say, it is difficult for me to see what the differences is."

They did have those earlier samples that they got from Dan Rather's blue dress.

Or the swabs they took from Peter Arnett's rectum.

What about that Quran written in Saddam's blood. That should be enough for a perfect match.

Traditional European anti-Americanism is from the RIGHT

[Knightsofswing]

Has he been fitted for his tin-foil hat? LOL

[Guillermo]

Anyways, I doubt a body double would have been carrying around $750,000.

Both have acted at odds with international law, committed human rights abuses.

One killed hundreds of thousands, if not millions of his own people. The other had terrorists arrested.

Joerg Haider = MORON.

I sure hope that everybody in Austria isn't as dense and ignorant as this new Hitler wannabe.
He is not aware that Saddam's sons provided the DNA benchmark?

Wait. I got it. Those weren't his sons. I see now. Everybody in Iraq are doubles!

Joerge Haider: "I am a moron"

[Maigrey]

So, if we ship this looney toon to Baghdad, and put him in a cell with His Uncleanliness, would he know the difference? I bet he would!

And, I guess the cabinet of the former regime are all liars.

[Ole Okie]

Shouldn't that be "I are a moron"?

[Tijeras_Slim]

Somebody should tell Joerg that non-citizens can't run for President even if they have the Democrat talking points memorized.

[headsonpikes]

Haider's bucking for the VP nomination!

[Jabba the Nutt]

Hey, good idea. Haider saw Saddam in February, send him in to ID Saddam. Maybe he can make Saddam talk.

Actually, I think Saddam's going to talk, his ego demands nothing less. He's going to sit there for 6 months without telling his side? I don't think so.

Haider's Party won the election in Austria a couple of years ago. The hypocritical EU denounced him as a fascist and refused to deal with Austria with him as head. I defended this nutcase. Mea culpa, I didn't realize what a nut he was.

[Maigrey]

Well, at least you realize the error of your ways, and admit to it. Others won't debase themselves with the truth, prefering to wallow in their own little reality.

[mrustow]

All beer hall, no Putsch.

Is that your line, or a Steynism? It's certainly quotable, either way.

[John123]

The WH has Bin Laden too, don't ca know.

Yep. All true. OBL is currently being held in Karl Rove's spider hole. :)

[John123]

They did have those earlier samples that they got from Dan Rather's blue dress.

Actually, I heard that they got the DNA sample from the stain on Hitlery's dress after her visit in Iraq to prove we captured Saddam. :)

Strong entry for One-Liner of the Day.

[DoctorMichael]

That has to go down as 'Quaote of the Day'.

LOL.
