Biden on Saddam: 'That S.O.B. is rolling over in his grave' @ 11:19 am by Michael O'Brien
Vice President Biden took a shot at the deceased former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein during a trip to Iraq this weekend, saying Hussein would be "rolling over in his grave" at the naturalization ceremony held in one of his palaces on Saturday.
Biden oversaw a ceremony for members of the armed services to be sworn in as American citizens as part of his weekend-long trip to Iraq.
"We did it in Saddam's Palace and I can think of nothing better than," Biden said at a luncheon afterward, according to a pool report. "That S.O.B. is rolling over in his grave right now."
According to an earlier pool report, the ceremony took place in the rotunda of Hussein's Aw Faw Palace, which is located on the premises of what is now Camp Victory in Baghdad.
"As corny as it sounds," Biden said at the ceremony, "Damn I'm proud to be an American."
Hussein was executed by hanging after having been convicted by Iraqis of committing various atrocities during his time in power.
But Harry Reid said the war was lost!
“He should thank Bush/Cheney for that......... “
Right! It is really too bad that W, Dick and the Republicans don’t take credit for their work. They certainly paid a high price.
Maybe Cheney will speak out. That would drive Obamachev nuts.
And our SOB is attepting to roll over the American people.
Since Slow-Joe wanted to do little more than “keep Saddam in his box” during the run-up to the war, and once the war ended Slow-Joe wanted to Balkanize Iraq into 3 countries, he is still blind to the genius of the Bush policy for ridding the world of a dangerous idiot. Now, all we need to do us use our peaceful political system to rid ourselves of two more dangerous idiots (Barry and Slow-Joe).
Trust Biden to say that it's corny. He's a son of a bitch if ever there was one.
Joe waxes eloquent yet again...
Is Biden suddenly taking credit for ousting Saddam now?
I thought it was totally uncool to support toppling Saddam.
Biden sticks his foot in his mouth again!
The Boss Man ain’t gonna be happy.
Do you think he did?
It looks like his full-out jog is no match for the purposeful stride of his security staff. Besides, the “Slow-Joe” nickname has more to do with his flawed reasoning, gaffe-prone mouth, and corrupted memory chips in his head than his gait.
Don't look for it. They will always give credit to the one's who deserve it. The ones who paid the highest price.
I guess this statement from Meet The Oppressed in September '07 is no longer operative Joe:
“I mean, the truth of the matter is that, that the — America’s — this administration’s policy and the surge are a failure, and that the surge, which was supposed to stop sectarian violence and — long enough to give political reconciliation, there’s been no political reconciliation... The reality is that, although there has been some mild progress on the security front, there is, in fact, no, no real security in Baghdad and/or in Anbar province, where I was, dealing with the most serious problem, sectarian violence. Sectarian violence is as strong and as solid and as serious a problem as it was before the surge started.”
Dumb-dumb speaks again?
Joe, you've been listening to Michelle!
I am in awe that the VP of the United States publicly stated that it’s “corny” to be a proud American.
Get this a$$hat out of office.
Corny to be proud of our armed forces and proud to be an American. Unbelievable. What an ass.
One Hussein in the ground, we need another just like the other. Barry! Barry! Barry!
“..Biden said at the ceremony, “Damn I’m proud to be an American.”
.
If Biden is so proud to be an American, wouldn’t he want to know if his boss is eligible for the position he holds or is he satisfied with working for a foreigner?
