If "Save Saddam" becomes a pacifists rallying cry, I suggest we do just that... save Saddam,... or at least part of him,... in a large jar of formaldehyde.

This is from a reply I posted on 8-18 to the thread captioned "Saudis Could Crash US Economy If Us-Israeli Axis Invades Iraq"
3. Saudi Arabia Will Dump U.S. & Dollar Investments - While the Saudi military is negligible except for their early warning system and air force, they are somewhat protected by the Holy places in Mecca and Medina. Any invasion by U.S. troops even near these regions would set off Armageddon in the Middle East so that option is out. Brent Scowcroft, who advised a string of Republican presidents, including Mr Bush's father and one of the Republican party's most...
This is classic: "Any invasion by U.S. troops even near these regions would set off Armageddon in the Middle East so that option is out." Can't have Armageddon being set off.
I read with interest Scowcroft's self-serving op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal advising against an invasion of Iraq. Understand something. Brent Scowcroft is the head of The Scowcroft Group, a consultancy that advises business on international investments. Nothing would be worse for his clients' business than armed conflict and the uncertainty that roils the financial markets with war. That obviously self-serving piece will not affect administration policy and promotes select business interests over United States strategic interests.

Yeah, he did. I hadn't watched an interview with him for a couple of years. T
About 6 months, he was on FoxNews. I had to shut off the TV, the man was obviously lying and appeared to be in great pain (mental while lying to protect Saddam's A$$!)_. Oh well that will be his legacy to leave for his time on this planet.

I'm sure these clowns would have defended Hitler and Tojo in WWII PBS Frontline profiled Saddam Hussein's rise to power. It showed his library arranged as a shrine to Joseph Stalin. It ran tape of his purge of random members of the leadership before an auditorium of assembled Ba'ath Party aparatchiks.
Defending Saddam is indeed defending Stalin.

Our advice to the Times: Take a break from trying to manipulate American foreign policy The New York Times excels as trash liner. It has many sections, many pages, absorbs wet coffee grounds, resists the slings and arrows of bottles, jars, and cans.
The Times is an excellent mirror on reality: Reality is Always the Opposite of the Times
The Times meets or exceeds its motto:
All Is Skewed To Fit Our Bent

How about his head or his clymer or both in an manner I can't go into on this board.
Yep, put his head and clymer into a round ball of bullet proof/bomb proof plastic so all the other Islamakazis despots can see whats coming.
It could be sent Fed Ex to the next Islamakazi to become the next headless and clymerless Islamakazi in the Middle East. Can you imagine the mullahs of hate running from Iran if that was delivered to Teheran with their names in an attached letter in Arabic, saying, "You are Next!""
Kick their A$$es and take their gas!

Jean Kirkpatrick just told Kudlow that Scrowcroft is usually against action period just as a matter of course. She is so wickedly dry.

Congratulations!
I love it when conservatives cause other conservatives to wake up at night and say "By Jove! I've got it now!"
Blackie, you might want to borrow MnM's great picture of Charlton Heston.

Management or Confrontation? - The Brent Scowcroft problem frames Scowcroft in the photo of Neville Chamberlain holding aloft the paper which bore the signature of Herr Hitler: an erudite ass.
Some small discussion of the utility of intellectuals, but the dead horse in the living room is the unbelievable arrogance of the man who believes Saddam Hussein can be managed.
The Derbyshire piece ought to be read for the snapshot of Scowcroft toasting Li Peng and the other Tiananmen Square butchers.
Lost in the nose-on-the-ground bean-counting of odd, odd reptiles like Scowcroft is the dismembered-body-in-the-bag aspect of the Saddams, the Hitlers, the Li Pengs.
Enough of the elite-for-hire pronunciamentos of the Dire Consequences of Unilateralism.
Now is not the time to a) go wobbly; b) sleep with the gerbils; c) observe the silence of the lambs--
Now is the time to harvest the head of Saddam Hussein.
Let it be cast in an acrylic cube as paperweight on the Oval Office desk In box.
Leaving room for Arafat on the Out.

Yes !! Perfect !!
