I think this will come back to bite Hillary.

( 2/27/2004 ) Sen. Hillary Clinton said this week that Iraqi women were better off under Saddam Hussein, arguing that when the brutal dictator ran the country women were at least assured the right to participate in Iraq's public life. In comments that went unreported by the mainstream press, the former first lady told the Brookings Institution on Wednesday that since Saddam's removal from power, Iraq's postwar governing councils had engaged in "pullbacks in the rights [women] were given under Saddam Hussein." Sen. Clinton noted that while Saddam had been "an equal opportunity oppressor," women were at least assured certain constitutional guarantees. While ignoring reports about the brutal dictator's rape rooms and other forms of persecution that were routine for women under his regime, Sen. Clinton insisted: "On paper, women had rights."

Save that in the file. When it comes time, we'll pull that little gem out and go for it.

In Hillary's view, Saddam is a victim of the Bush Administration, in her twisted Liberal mind, Saddam was a reformer who loved his people and wanted nothing but the best for his people. Then Bush came along and messed up everything. Saddam provided a paradise for his people while he lived in abject poverty "It was all about the Children" is Saddam's mind

WHAT A SICK PUPPY HILLARY IS :-)
