Who is Hussen and what is this video?
It's all a load of bull, what else is there to say?
OK, lets see here.
Hussein was trained by our CIA to overthrow an evil regime.
He convinced us he was on our side.
He did not claim to have our support when we went after him (leading me assume we had lost ties and parted our ways long ago)
Terrorists rose up against our forces once we were in Iraq. They were inside an occupied country. The were being housed.
From my undesrtanding (I was not alive then, so you tell me) when Sadam wanted to go into Kuwait, it was against our will. Sadam was "biting the hand that fed him" by going in. The hand simply had a rolled up newspaper to take him out with. (Personally, I would take that as a cue to look up WHICH border that memo was referring to. It seems about as well placed as the children playing and then an Iraqi government building burning in F9/11)
Hows that for starters?
Just say that if we were so wrong in our previous policy supporting Hussein, then she should be happy that we later prevented him from taking over Kuwait and then overthrowing him to make way for a democratic government (elections in January).
Gosh, the CIA was a really evil organization under Jack Kennedy! Fortunately, Ronald Reagan corrected JFK's mistake by encouraging Saddam into a war with Iran (thereby degrading the war-making potential of Iran and Iraq). Then George H. W. Bush cleverly lured Saddam into attacking Kuwait, which further softened up Saddam for the final strike which (since Clinton passed up the opportunity for a legacy) occurred under "W".
That poor, sweet Saddam looks like such a victim! Thanks for the laugh!
aaaaaaaaaaah, hussain? isn't he related to kerry? bwahahahaha
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Actually it was a brilliant move by the U.S. government to pit two enemies against each other and not back the one who held U.S. citizens hostage for a very long time. Hey, Iran that was payback!
But Iraq was stil an enemy, and the U.S. knew it. The looney Liberals are just kookoo and you can't argue with someone who does not make any sense.
There used to be a looney liberal in my office in Rome and I drove him crazy by giving non-sensical responses to his Liberal arguments against Bush. He would spit and bluster and yell and go nuts. Made me happy that I got to him.
This is the e-mail I am about to send. Thank you for all your words and tell me if this makes sense...
"Did you send me this video to learn the truth or are you just trying to channel your Bush hatred?
If you would like the truth, please read on......

You may think we have been wrong in our previous policy supporting Hussein but you should be happy that we later prevented him from taking over Kuwait and then overthrowing him to make way for a democratic government (elections in January).
Still don't get it? Let's look at it this way. suppose you gave me some help with my homework for a test when we were both younger....that's good, isn't it, because I looked like I was going to study, be a good student, and take care of myself. BUT, then I decided to give what you gave me to EVERYONE in class DURING the test....PLUS, later, I decided I needed to beat up some of the people in my class, because they would no longer be a part of my little cheating game. After that YOU refused to give me any more help.
Make sense?
If the Libs in this country would realize that America is not the enemy, life would be much easier for them.
I know it is really hard for you with your side losing so much. My heart goes out to you."
How's that? (the final line is a dig because OH passed the constitutional amendment banning gay marriage!)
If your sister will fall for this crap, there isn't any hope for her so just pat her on the head and offer her more of her meds so she doesn't do anything violent.
