Son of Saddam

As he stood at the double-door entrance to the office of Iraqi National Olympic Committee president Uday Hussein, the boxer knew what awaited on the other side. He had just returned from a Gulf States competition, where he had been knocked out in the first round. Now it was time to pay the price.

How can people protest our action in Iraq when stuff like this is out there?

[Paul Atreides]

You think that's bad? In this country, we have to live with a President who believes in Jesus and didn't roll over for Al Gore. </sarcasm>

[Paul Atreides]

How can people protest our action in Iraq when stuff like this is out there?

Here's a hint: REPUBLICAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

Here's a hint: REPUBLICAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

Exactly. A classmate told my wife at school (Univeristy of Washington) that he wouldn't have a problem with this war if Gore was in the White House. Damn right...there wouldn't be a war because Gore would still be hiding in a bunker while Muslims attacked our country!!

Now, if I could just bring myself to believe our news outlets, I'd be outraged!

[Doomonyou]

Charming...

[Paul Atreides]

I'm sure that Peter Jennings will have something positive to say about the sons.

[topher]

CNN posted this? This is really weird. Maybe the Iraqi's did some things to the CNN reporters before they left Iraq...

This is out of character for CNN... They are so good at bashing our troops and the President...

[Doomonyou]

I'm sure that Peter Jennings will have something positive to say about the sons.

No doubt, after all, the one is a "victim" of a "gun crime" and now he is "transportationally challenged" and we should try and understand his "feelings" for the unprofessional athletes under his "care" and "leadership."

A quaint family portrait

[ambrose]

Oh yes, another one of Michael Moore's idols. Sick.

So, are we gonna go around the world and change every regime that drags its athletes across concrete and throws them into raw sewage after losing a soccer match? (end sarcasm>

“CNN posted this? This is really weird. “

They have to print stuff like this occasionally so they can claim to be “Fair and Balanced” like that news network that is beating the heck out of them in the ratings game.

[UCANSEE2]

What CNN didn't say is more important.

The 'Son of SAM' or son of SADDAM not only mistreats his fellow athletes, he uses the law enforcement just like BILL CLINTON did.

He is a serial rapist. He finds a nice looking female on the street, has his 'thugs' grab her, takes her into a building and RAPES her.

This is not once, twice or three times this has occurred. THIS IS AN EVERYDAY Occurrence.

[UCANSEE2]

Don't know exactly how I should take your sarcasm.

So I re-worded your statement.

So, are we gonna go around the world and change every regime that destroys the tallest structure in our country and kills 3000 innocent men, women, and children ?

[jpl]

The IOC is every bit as systemically corrupt and worthless as the UN.

[gg188]

That was good too.

I think my point is that for those who say, are we going to go around the world and change every regime yadayada, IRAQ is one of a very few regimes that are in a class by themselves, and Uday's treatment of athletes is a sign of this, along with their WMD's, their partnerships with terror groups like Al Quida, etc. That's WHY they are the Axis of Evil.

Isn't it funny (well, not surprising, of course) how the left is still up in arms over "right wing" tyrants of decades ago, like in Chile, comes to mind, and yet not one word about Uday!

This is actually a Sports Illustrated piece, FReeper Ironclad sent it to me in PDF format just a few minutes ago, complete with photos, and SI page numbers.
