Rob Douglas - Douglas Investigations Saddam Hussein As Jesus Christ
You know the feeling. First the sniffles start. Then a cough develops. Soon you’ve got that achy-all-over discomfort. You try to sleep. You burrow deeper under the covers. Toss. Turn. Toss some more. It’s 3:30 in the morning. A cold rain beating down on the roof. You can feel the cold that started in your sinuses digging into your chest. Breathing is a chore. Sleep is out of the question. Head to the couch. Pop on the T.V. Flip through the channels. Maybe the drone of some late-night talk show will dull the senses and allow sleep to overcome. Hundreds of stations. Not one worth watching. Flip. Flip. Flip. Old movies. Bad movies. How to make a million with tiny classified ads. Orange cleaner. Dent popper. Where do they dream this stuff up? Who buys it? Flip. Jesse Jackson’s face fills the screen. He's discussing what it will take to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq. A shake of the head. Maybe the fever has brought on delirium. Pick up the remote again. Who ever invented the Dish Network PVR is a genius. Hit the back-up button and replay Jesse. It’s not delirium. Jesse Jackson believes fighting a war to oust Hussein is like King Herod and the Romans slaughtering all babies in an attempt to kill the baby Jesus. Jesse Jackson equates Saddam Hussein to Jesus Christ. Saddam Hussein as Jesus Christ. I’m not making this up. On Friday night (I caught the 3:30am Saturday morning replay) Jesse Jackson was on Black Entertainment Television (BET)Tonight with Ed Gordon. The episode was titled 9/11: What Black America Needs To Know. While it is not clear to me why “Black America” would need to know anything different than all Americans, I’ll leave that for another day. What is important during a time when there is both a national and international debate concerning Iraq taking place is to hear well-reasoned arguments both pro and con. Equating Saddam Hussein to Jesus Christ does not advance the debate. In fact, it may be the most shameful statement in the history of public discourse. Coming from you or me would be bad enough. Coming from a national leader with an international reputation is utterly disgraceful. Coming from a man of the cloth is beyond imagination. Although Jackson clearly placed his statement in a religious context, it fails even if he were not talking about Jesus. Had Jackson only been equating Saddam Hussein to an infant- any infant -the attempt at moral equivalency would still be a fool’s errand. Saddam Hussein has slaughtered, gassed, tortured, imprisoned, murdered, mutilated, and starved hundreds of thousands if not millions. In a particularly gross form of irony consider that Jackson is equating the attempt to remove Hussein from power with the slaughter of all infants in order to kill one child, while at the same time Hussein murders and imprisons children – including toddlers. Don’t take my word for it. Take the word of former weapons inspector Scott Ritter. After all, he is the poster child for the Iraq hand-wringers. In an interview with Time Magazine Ritter was asked: “You’ve spoke about having seen the children’s prisons in Iraq. Can you describe what you saw there?” Ritter replied: Saddam Hussein imprisons children of his political opponents. Saddam Hussein has gassed citizens of Iraq – including infants and children. Yet Jesse Jackson equates Hussein to the infant Jesus. The appropriate analogy would obviously be that of Hussein to the Roman emperor seeking to kill the infant Jesus. After all, Hussein imprisons and kills the children of his political opponents just as the Romans sought to kill Jesus out of fear. Yet Jesse Jackson equates Saddam Hussein with Jesus Christ. Jesse Jackson is a fool.

“Since he’s not gonna volunteer, it means you have to kill Hussein. In order to get to him you’re going to have to kill a lot of innocent people - to get to him. It’s reminiscent of biblical times – killing all those children to get to Jesus.”
“The prison in question is at the General Security Services headquarters, which was inspected by my team in Jan. 1998. It appeared to be a prison for children – toddlers up to pre-adolescents – whose only crime was to be the offspring of those who have spoken out politically against the regime of Saddam Hussein. It was a horrific scene. Actually I’m not going to describe what I saw there because what I saw was so horrible that it can be used by those who would want to promote war with Iraq, and right now I am waging peace.”
If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.
Now there's a revelation.
This comment, totally unrelated, got me -

Oh, that's real smart, Ritter. So you KNOW ABOUT THINGS that are so bad we would want to make them stop, but you won't tell us because we might try.
Anyone else besides me find absolutely no sense in that statement? Other than the fact that apparently his personal agenda is more important than exposing the horrors to which Saddam will subject babies.
Excellent point, worth repeating.
More appropriate comparison would be killing all those German civilians to get Hitler, methinks... although I never heard Jessie ever whine on that count, even though his blatant anti-Semitism makes me wonder if Jessie doesn't have the same sort of sympathies for Hitler as the Arabs selling copies of Mein Kampf...
Maybe when Jessie gets to Hell he and Hitler can sit down and have a dialogue about how best to handle the "Jewish Problem"..
