Quote of the Day by skull stomper

[JohnHuang2]

Here ya go, per your suggestion. Thanks.

John thanks for making this link to the Scowcroft Group a thread.

Now, we can bookmark and have it ready when some phoney conservative starts posting Scowcroft's pleas to save Saddam as per the blood money from the Opecker Princes and other Islamakazis in the Middle East.

I intend to post it whenever any phoney conservative gets on his Opecker Paid soapbox to defend Saddam and it becomes a thread here on Free Republic. My question to all is: "When, we follow the money to any clown defending Saddam, will the money funding this plea to save Saddam, have come from the Opecker Princes, Saddam himself or other middle east Islamakazi Despots."

We will see a blizzard of these Save Saddam opeds and posts here on Free Republic. It is time to get brutal and ask who is funding the clymer making the plea.

Thanks, John, this thread is now bookmarked for future use.

[JohnHuang2]

More than welcome, friend. Thanks for suggesting the idea in the first place.

Save Saddam ???


OK .. what have I missed .. why would anyone want to save him??

[LanaTurnerOverdrive]

If we use this logic to discredit Scowcroft, then we must assume the same for the reasoning behind GW giving Saudi Arabia a free pass when they are obviously the government most responsible for funding terrorism.

I'd say the man has a definite conflict of interest issue going on.

[Grampa Dave]

Now, that is fairly apparent that we will eventually start to remove Saddam from power, the SnowCrafts (miss spelled on purpose) will try to bury us in a blizzard of Bravo Sierra articles by both left wingers and phoney conservatives" That Saddam is not really a bad guy, it will be a mistake to attack Saddam, Saddam can't be defeated, we will need a million body bags for our troops, 1 billion Islamakazis will hate us for ever, we can't defeat Saddam, it will cost trillions to defeat him, and on and on.

These opeds will be funded and often written by the Opecker Princes, Saddam's Pr thugs and the Mullahs of Hate around the Middle East. Many of the same bad actors did the same before we killed most of the Talibanner thugs in Afghanistan and wiped out large numbers of al Qaeda thugs.

So bookmark this and John's new thread on SnowCraft's BS Group for future use when these new warnings come out from both sides of the political spectrum. Whenever you read one of these Bravo Sierra Articles, just ask one simple question, "Who paid the clown to say these things to defend Saddam or keep the Status Quo with Saddam!?"

Explains your failure to understand that there's a right time -- and a wrong time -- to engage in rank hypocrisy.

[Grampa Dave]

Great and realistic advise: One Despot at a time!

That way the Evil Opecker Princes can see what's coming down the road just for them!

[MeekOneGOP]

My pleasure. Keep telling it like it is !
