Jackson Lee invites terrorist dictator to Texas (my title)
Houston Chronicle ^ | Ron Nissimov

Posted on 12/16/2003 12:30:42 PM PST by GOPcapitalist

Jackson Lee said she was so impressed with Syrian President Bashar Assad during her visit that she invited him to speak in Texas, even though his country is designated by the United States as a rogue state and a sponsor of terrorism.

"I'm sure someone will write a headline, `Congresswoman invites a terrorist'," Jackson Lee said. "But that's not what I'm trying to do."

She said Assad showed his willingness to negotiate by meeting despite President Bush's signing on Friday of the Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003, which could impose sanctions on Syria.

"He's a 39-year-old president who even gave us a picture of him and his children," Jackson Lee said. "Let's see what he can do. He's not his father," a reference to Hafez Assad, who ruled Syria with an iron grip for 30 years before his death in 2000.

I was just thinking - Queen Sheila may actually be doing us a service by trying to get this guy here. Sending the 4th Infantry to nab him at the airport when Sheila flies him in is a heck of a lot easier than combing the Syrian desert for whatever hole he's hiding in a couple years from now.

This assessment of a brutal national socialist dictator brought to you by the same woman who asked NASA if the Mars Pathfinder could see the flag Niel Armstrong planted....while the rover was on Mars.

Trying or not, that's exactly

what you are doing, Sheila Jackass Lee.

"He's a 39-year-old president who even gave us a picture of him and his children," Jackson Lee said. "Let's see what he can do.

How stupid of me to not understand that sending out of picture of yourself with your kids results in automatic forgiveness for all crimes against humanity. If only Hussein had done the same, he'd still be in his palace frying people in acid baths or shredding them in giant grinders. Too bad for Saddam that he didn't have Bashir's publicist. Oh, and "Let's see what he can do."???!!! Is she kidding? This guy is one of the most brutal dictators on earth, a close runner up to Hussein himself - I think that we've seen quite enough of "what he can do."

...He's not his father,"

No, he's worse. He didn't get his arse kicked several times by the Israelis, nor did he grow up in a household where his father wasn't the absolute dictator of the country. Growing up like that is bound to affect one's psyche and judgment - for the worse. You want to know what children of dictators are like, take a look at North Korea. Bashir ain't much better than that kook.

But all of that's not worth getting excited, because Miss Jackass Lee thinks he's an OK guy.

Nah, shoot the whole plane down just after it enters US airspace in the Atlantic. That way you'll take down a bunch of his butt buddies and fellow sadistic SOB's with him and save on the prospect of an endless trial on Fox - all at the same time. If you want a three-fer, test out a new SAM on the plane, and that way we save on testing costs (I know, drones don't cost much, but every little bit helps).

The one and only. Queen Sheila is one DUMB leftist PoS.

Whenever I meet a liberal who calls Bush stupid and accuses him of an inability to speak I now ask them what they think of Queen Sheila. The response is usually favorable because she is a hero in congress to the far left. From there it is but a small step to question how they could adore somebody who speaks in such an incoherent manner while simultaneously professing to hate the president for lesser linguistic offenses. I can still visualize Sheila ranting on the floor about how Bill Clinton needed to be "censored" which, despite its truth, seems not to have been her intent.

her's another aside. If she invites a known supporter/funder of international terrorism to the USA, is she not aiding and abbetting, or at least harboring a terrorist? At the very least, is this not sedition?

I wonder if Queen Shiela would have thought to invite Hitler becsue he was a radical environmentalist and animal rights supporter who employed homosexuals in his gov't?

"Congresswoman invites a terrorist"

Actually, the headline should read "Really Stupid Congresswoman invites a terrorist."

Yep, bring that ragheaded pudnocker down here to Texas. Have him bring Saddam, too. We have a nice way of taking care of murderers and we call it Texas Shock & Awe!

A few thousand volts and "Awe shucks, that peckerwood's dead."
