"WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush keeps in his White House offices a trophy of one his high points in the Iraq war, the pistol that Saddam Hussein held when soldiers pulled him from his underground hideaway.

Military specialists mounted the sidearm, and soldiers who helped in the deposed Iraqi president's capture presented it to the president, the White House said Sunday. The president keeps the gun in a small study adjoining the Oval Office."

Why doesn't he just stuff his head and put it over the mantle? And we are supposed to believe that this whole thing was about WMD and iminent threats and war on terrorism....and was in no way about VINDICTIVENESS AND REVENGE for Poppy. Yeah right.

These folks are the most serious threat to our country since the Brittish under King George.

1. A "hot" stolen gun?

He didn't buy it. He has no proof of ownership. It is stolen.

[nodictators]

14. Receiving Stolen Property is a crime

Bu$h has the US soldiers looting for him. Of course, the big loot is the Iraqi oil fields, with oil reserves worth $6 trillion ($6,000,000,000,000).

As for the gun, it belongs to the people of Iraq, not Bu$h. One could easily imagine that it would get $1 million or more at an auction.

Impeach Bush for these and other high crimes.

15. Wonder if he has a license

or has registered it? Doesn't DC have some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country? Anyway, that's what the NRA talking points tell me.

I think the DC Metro Police Department needs to confiscate this illegal firearm until he can produce the proper paperwork.

I'm curious as to how "comfortable" the Secret Service detail is in knowing that a "former coke addict alcoholic" that can't eat a pretzel or ride a bike has access to a pistol?

18. The DC gun ban exempts...

...people above a certain level of wealth. It only applies to the little people who have lives of so little significance that they need no protection.

[maxrandb]

22. But does the ban exempt idiots too? n/t

[JayS]

27. Not rich idiots. :) n/t

2. Now we know what the war was about

Revenge for daddy.

[demigoddess]

25. no, not revenge, one-up manship

He just had to prove that he has a bigger weinie than daddy. I guess this way daddy will not be able to boss him around any more.

3. That's really sick and distasteful.

[htuttle]

4. I bet he poses in front of the mirror with it...

"Draw, varmint!"

:eyes:

11. you talking to me Saddam?

you talking to me???

[Mandate My Ass]

5. What a little sissy

He has no concept of manhood so he thinks this makes him look tough like that idiotic way he struts but can never quite pull off.

It's also appallingly inappropriate.

24. Why does the movie "The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance"

come to mind?

[Loonman]

6. E.D. on Faux and Friends

Talking abut the pistol on Bush's wall on Sunday....

She would suck Bush's balls 'til the cows came home.

Maybe she already is.

7. The $200 billion pistol.

Great. I'm glad you got your little revenge Georgie!

[ChickMagic]

8. Of course, the news

here mentioned that the study is the same room that Clinton used for his trist. It always has to go back to the Big Dog some how, some way.

[maxrandb]

16. Seriously?

I think the media all have Clenis envy.

[ChickMagic]

19. Seriously.

I don't remember which local station it was in Dallas, but they went on at length about the Clenis with film clips.

9. Bush truly is a tin-horn dictator

What a fuckin' joke. I hate this man.

[maxrandb]

23. All that's left is for him to start strutting

around in a military uniform like Castro...oh wait, he already has.

10. 800+ Americans & 1000s of Iraqis have died so Jr. can get revenge

His gun "trophy" only proves it.

[wtmusic]

12. Well if Rummy keeps a piece of Flight 11 on his desk

I'm really not that surprised. These are sick individuals.

[Lavender Brown]

13. Dumbass cowboy.

You know what 800+ families have over their mantles, George? Photos of their dead sons & daughters.

[Beetwasher]

17. Some Might Call That Looting

Doesn't that gun belong to the people of Iraq?

[billybob537]

20. This is perverse.

Serial killers often keep souvenirs of their victims possessions.

[Ganja Ninja]

21. I hope he takes it out and plays with it often.

Knowing what a klutz he is there's no telling how much carnage may ensue.

26. the faux cowboy takes a simulated scalp

I don't think a U.S. President has ever done anything like that before--really sick and creepy.
