PING

[Thrownatbirth]

It was almost funny to watch Saddam suddenly embrace Islam in the 90’s. It was transparently phony and very Hillaryish. A lot of MSM journalists and correspondents at the time also ridiculed Saddam’s conversion. I guess they had a little collective amnesia.

Thank you for the ping. Saddam used the “jihad” method to become the butcher of Baghdad. When one looks at who these jihad terrorists fighters are, it is really strange that in death old Saddam sings the praise of Iran. Given that old Saddam fought for eight + years against Iran the man was criminally insane.

Our leftists keep calling it a civil war, talk about a confused bunch of people.

Long live our glorious nation and our peace loving people

I wonder if he was thinking this as he was shoving guys into the plastic chopper.

I’ll bet he isn’t praising his sorry a$$ed life now!

One of the biggest lies circulated (and still circulating apparently) is that Saddam Hussein had no ties to AQ in particular or terrorism in general. The plane-hijacking “school” at Salman Pak should have squelched that lie, but didn’t, even though we had satellite pictures of it long before 2001.

There can be only one reason why the media perpetuates this and other lies (no WMD, etc.), and that is sheer hatred of the President: they think (correctly) that if Saddam is portrayed as some kind of benevolent dictator, Bush will look bad. And that’s all MSM wants, is to bring down the President—and install a more liberal president of their liking.

Saddam admitted it. He always supported terrorism.

This is good!

“Further critical analysis of Hussein’s speeches (other speeches found here), analysis of the upcoming “tell all” book from Hussein’s former lawyer, deciphering of public and private letters, interviews (as well as the eventual declassification of interrogation logs) will undoubtedly provide a means for deeper understanding of Hussein’s stated desires and impressions regarding the West, Islam/Islamists, jihad and terrorism. These reports, combined with the previous findings of the Duelfer Report, the Iraqi Perspectives Project and CIA/DIA/FBI reports (which have been partially released through the Senate Intelligence Committee’s look at the subject), are necessary for a full and comprehensive view into the world according to Saddam Hussein and thus any definitive pronouncements on Hussein’s real motives should be withheld until such an effort can be made.”

I just curious if the Senate Select Intelligence Committee has to wait till documents become declassified before they create an actual perception of being on the same side as America?
