CHICAGO The Reverend Jesse Jackson says U-S forces should not turn Saddam Hussein over to the Iraqi government for execution.

Jackson says that to allow the former Iraqi leader to be hanged as what he calls "a war trophy" would be a "barbarity" that would only inflame tensions.

Jackson says making Saddam spend the rest of his life in prison would be a better way to "break the cycle of violence in Iraq."

Jesse can't break the cycle of violence in Chicago but he has advice on how to break the cycle of violence in Iraq.

Can we do a switch then? They get Jesse, we get Saddam?

He is a clown..

Heck no Lionize him like a rapster!!!

[Lazamataz]

Jesse is merely parroting the rest of the Barking Moonbat Left.

In the Left's view, Saddam should be freed, reinstated, and given nuclear weapons so he can bomb the United States.

[wastedyears]

Isn't Saddam already turned over?

Too late, bucko

[Rome2000]

Thats what all of the other socialist crooks and sex perverts that are going to run Congress think as well but since no one is asking them the question they won't go on record.

Wonder if Jesse's view would be any different if Saddam had massacred African-Americans instead of Kurds and Shiites?

...I guess putting some one through a plastic recycling machine is A-OK with Jessie?

I would hate to inflame tensions, those terrorists might start an insurgence.

[Sicon]

Incoherent, marble-mouthed jack@ss!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

They should change the method of execution to the electric chair...so Jesse Jackson can be sitting on Saddam's lap when the time comes.

Irrelevant Race Pimp notice me! notice me! alert!!

[MeanWestTexan]

No, it would not.

Jessie's on the side of anyone who hates America.

It's basically the "underdog" sense of morality. Whomever is the underdog is the "good guy" to liberals.

[Always Right]

Hey Jessie, I bet President Carter would pardon Saddam. Why not give Jimmah a call.

[NRA2BFree]

Tellya what, Jesse. How 'bout we substitute you for Saddam? I could deal with that. ;o)

[El Cid]

Take his place then, Jesse...

[sodpoodle]

Can Jesse read?

Perhaps he has not learned of Saddam's atrocities...being too busy finding fault with all things American.

We should appoint him UN Ambassador - the right place, at the right time.

"I would hate to inflame tensions, those terrorists might start an insurgence."

Indeed!
