I would love to see Bush start wearing it around on a holster. That would make for some great photos and drive the gun control crowd crazy.

[Bogey78O]

Wasn't that the tradition in ancient times?

Victor's would take a mementio from the conquered leader.

I think once Saddam is tried by the Iraqis, Bush should turn the gun over to them to execute the bastard.

Saddam goes down with a bullet from his own gun that Bush has held in the Oval Office, and the trigger is pulled by an Iraqi. Poetic justice.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

OH THE HORROR THE HORROR IMPEACH BUSH NOW!!! (I'm the liberal media and I approved this message)

[wagglebee]

Nope, Bush should let his father fire the bullet.

[jonascord]

But, WHAT WAS IT? Colt, Browning, Makarov?

"This will be spun into a negative by the media. I,however, think it's cool!"

How could you spin this badly?

I think it's great... very poignant, with a nod to history.

[PISANO]

I would like to see Saddam, once convicted, executed by the same pistol and THEN it would be a keeper!! The "pistol" that avenged a million deaths!!

[Fintan]

How could you spin this badly?
 

 

Wait till Katie Couric & Peter Jennings get ahold of this...you'll see.

[BunnySlippers]

Yes, the media will do a negative spin. The reaction among liberals is just like when you tell them that you keep guns in the house ... the look of sheer horror!

[Utah Girl]

This made me smile when I read it. It is such a Western thing to do. The Eastern establishment will faint when they read it.

[Steely Tom]

I think a picture of the President, holding this gun, looking at the camera with a glint in his eye, would brighten Saddam's lonely cell in an undisclosed location.

Captioned (in Arabic) "Thanks for the piece, Saddam. Dad enjoyed it too."

(steely)

[wagglebee]

Hell, I want to see that on a billboard!

[BunnySlippers]

Hahaha ... maybe pair it with wearing a bandalero across his chest. :-D

[ChefKeith]

PING-A-ROO!

How's that pig doing? Ready yet ? I'm getting hungry...

[GSlob]

Yes, like body parts. King Alboin, if memory serves, used the skull of a vanquished chieftain as a drinking cup. Idea sounds great, but with Saddam one immediately runs into hygienic problems.

[VOA]

Good for Dubya!

[glock rocks]

It is the same room where former President Bill Clinton had some of his encounters with former intern Monica Lewinsky.

Only reuters. Q'uelle scum. I guess they're trying to lower the bar for hanoi john.

[Paul Atreides]

They'll really have to stock up on Depends, for Pelosi Galore, now!
