I think your characterization was on the mark. You hit the bulls eye. This guy is a whiner.

He will never be satisfied. He can't even find one good thing to say about this.

Just to summarize my thoughts on the Hussein and "making us safer" business:

Of course the capture of Saddam Hussein was and is monumental. I disagree with familyofman about Hussein's terrorism ties. The record and evidence is that he sponsored all kinds of terrorism.

The world is safer with Hussein in custody, of course. The left presents it as if all threats should have either instantly ceased or else continued threats demonstrate Hussein was incidental in the scheme of things. That is incorrect.

The only reason the question is posed "are we safer with the capture of Saddam Hussein" is to minimize the significance of his apprehension, and thus detract from President Bush's victory over Saddam.
