This evening, my senator, sen Jay Rockefeller, in an interview with CBS evening news, accused Bush of manipulating intelligence, and suggested that America and Iraq would be safer if Saddam Hussein was still in power.

He also said his vote regarding the war was a mistake.

I wondered how long it would take for a high-profile lib to say this. I also have been waiting for a clamour to re-instate Saddam by the libs ala Aristide and Haiti.

And he was the ONLY ONE who said Iraq was an "Imminent Threat"

On the Senate Floor, to boot!

What a freaking hypocrite.

I've also heard that literally Jay Rcokefeller isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

If Saddam brought "stability" to Iraq with his Iron Thumb that he kept his people (and terrorists) down under, then maybe it just means that we should ramp up on exhibitions of strength and release those from the Abu Ghraib scandal.

I swear, these wusses in Congress support a dictator like Saddam and spit on the President of the United States.

West Virginia senator Jay Rockefeller said on the CBS evening news on Saturday that America was safer with Saddam in power.

Of course he feels that having a Republican POTUS makes us less safe also.....

Yeah, but how about Iraq, Iraq wasn't safer with Saddam in charge. Nobody gets grabbed off the streets and thrown into woodchippers feet first any more. The rape rooms have been closed down.

The US did not go into Iraq to make America safer. The difference it made to our internal security was minute and extremely marginal at best. We went to Iraq to enforce the letter of the various UN resolutions which had been passed, and on the basis of intelligence which Jay Rockefeller himself had concluded meant that Iraq was within five years or so of producting an atomic weapon. That weapon would never have threatened any American city, but Tel Aviv and Teheran were both in great danger once such a device was operational.

SADDAM says, Iraq safer with Jay Rockhead in power. OMG could you believe that even Saddam would say something so frigging ridiculous?

Hey, it's not too late to bring him back. The Iraqis haven't hung him yet. If this is the way the Democrats want to go, they should say so. "Vote for us, and we'll not only cut and run, we'll put Saddam back in office on our way out."

I wonder what Great Grandpa John D would have thought about Jay and his liberalism?

I always knew that money can't buy happiness, and now I know it also can't buy intelligence .... especially when the money is inherited.

Did he note that, if Saddam were still in power, we would still be enforcing no-fly zones and sanctions? And having to protect Bush 41 from potential Iraqi assassins?

And, tell me, did Senator Rockefeller vote for the Iraq Liberation Act which called for "regime change"...in 1998?!

What an utter partisan moron.

what a smug little ferret faced weasel...

honestly I'm hoping for a senate wide jihad... maybe if a couple of libs get fragged out, then they'll believe it's the real deal...

Nah!!! they'll blame the massacre on Bush.. and how he's so mean to the jihadist that they were forced to kill ....

there is NO WAY that they'll ever think that America is right and that the jihadist are evil...

Gawd we're stuck with such pussies in this country...can't they all move to "heaven" France... where all the enlightened people live...

I am guessing he is not up for re-election this time.
