Cardinal Says U.S. Treated Saddam 'Like a Cow'

Toss Joerg Haider into that mix:

You know, actually, all the wacky anti-Bush crap, like Rep McDermott's stupid statement, or Albright's comment, is a good thing for the GOP politically....yup, it's red meat to the hard core left/lib Dems, but they were never gonna vote for Bush anyways..but, as it continues, and escalates, it'll be enough to push some in the middle to Bush...and could tip the balance in some key Senate races..

After months on the run, the once-dapper despot with a hygiene fetish was probably keen for a body overhaul.

Latest subject for "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"?

"There was always a fear that maybe Saddam will come back," said Najim. "Today the Iraqi people feel free."

That's what it's all about, folks!

What the heck is up with the Vatican these days?

Thanks for the post.

Some guy, who claimed to be a "historian" (Weintraub was his last name, I think) was on Hannity and Puke saying how terrible it was of us to show Saddam in such a humiliating way. That we were putting it in the face of the Arabs of the world.

He also said we should not have shown the pictures of dead Uday and Qusay either. We should have brought in some "respected" Arab leader that the Arab masses would believe, show him the bodies and the living Saddam, and let him spread the word that the brothers were dead and Saddam in captivity..... Yeah, right, that would work.

These nuts are delusional.

And in fairness to Puke, I think he actually did NOT agree with the guest they had on, but I always tune him out when watching, so I may have been mistaken or dreaming or something.......

The other reason they were examining his teeth was to insure he wasn't going to pull a Hermann Goering and swallow a cyanide pill.

Interesting. This newspaper is nicknamed the Saddam Times by Australian conservatives!

[Romulus]

For your consideration.

...what kind of message is the Vatican sending about mass-murdering dictators?

I would surmise that the Vatican is trying to send a very old message that most people on the planet seem unable to grasp.

"That which you do unto the least of my brothers, you do unto me."

I do not defend Sadaam or his ilk, nor am able to forgive him as Jesus would have...but the message is valid if we would have ourselves deemed worthy to dwell in the house of the Lord.

Why the surprise about the Cardinal?

Arbitrary authority loves its own.

[Gargantua]

""I felt pity to see this man destroyed, [the military] looking at his teeth as if he were a cow. They could have spared us these pictures."

Really?

The Vatican could have spared hundreds of innocent American children the horror of sexual predation at the hands of their pedophilic priests by removing those perverts from their cassocks, but instead, they just shuffled them around to other churches to keep the matter swept under the rug.

This lame-assed Cardinal's proclamations of "pity" and "compassion" are not only hideously misguided, they are also a day late and a few million dollars in damages short.

Pontificate thyself, you Vatican pervert puppets. World history will record you as the evil, ineffective, marginalized cult which you have become.

Great post!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

BUMP!

[Tempest]

Yeah this whole pity-party for a murdering pyscho pathic tyrant really, really shows the differance between liberals and conservatives.

Conservatives are SANE

and Liberals are just plain NUTS!
