My thoughts on today's capture...(important-please read)

[Blade]

I was glad when I heard the announcement that Saddam Hussein was captured. He was an evil man. He tortured many people under his leadership. He killed thousands who opposed him.

I have a problem with this. Now Dubya will boost in the polls, for how long, I do not know. He will take credit because Clinton's army captured the SOB. I have a problem with this: I hope the American people won't forget why we went to Iraq the first place: for the search of WMD's and that Saddam Hussein was an "imminent threat" to the US.

Couple of points:
1. Where are the WMD's?
2. Why was Iraq an "imminent threat" to the security of the US?
3. Now...forget about Saddam. Where's the man that directly attacked the US on September 11, 2001? It certainely wasn't Saddam Hussein that attacked us, that's for sure. Osama bin Laden. Where is he Dubya, you son-of-a-bitch?

Dubya needs to quit thinking he's the man because Clinton's Army captured Saddam. He needs to quit basking in the slight success his misadminastration has gotten today. He needs to jump back into reality on what's going on. Thousands of people have died since this war started 9 months ago, all because of a lie.

I hope the president feels proud right now, proud that he lied to the American public, proud that he lied about the reasons of the war, and taking the focus off Bin Laden-the very man who attacked us on 9/11-for his personal gains in a little oil in the Persian Gulf.

I have but one question for that fucktard: Where in the hell is Osama bin Laden, the one man who was the mastermind behind the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001? The one man who attacked the US, the one man who was an imminent threat to the security of the US?

Iraq supposedly was an "imminent threat" to the US. What threat were they? The only threat I saw was that Saddam would burn his oil supplies so Dubya wouldn't be able to get any of it and try to exploit it for profit.

The war in Iraq was indeed a bad move. But are the media whores and the sheeple of the US going to agree with us? Heck no. They'll see all over the news for the next 9483750934875983475 years that Dubya led a war that ultimately led to the capture of Saddam Hussein, because Saddam Hussein was a bad man.

Yes, Saddam Hussein was a bad man, but we have to remember this:
The ends don't justify the means.

Thanks for putting up with the rant.

1. I like your post,

4. I like fucktard too

much better than bastard.
It should come into to the language to replace bastard.

5. This is bad news because of the foolishness of public opinion

the public atleast the great majority has decided to error on the side of George Bush and believe that if he says there might be an unknown threat to us in the future, that gives the USSA the right to destroy a country. Since apparently they don't care about the wrongness of the WMD claim they are happy with the false prize of Saddam.

7. Exactly my point, wuushew.

What a shame really.

6. Thanks Blade! You can rant like that anytime! n/t

8. I don't think this capture really changes anything.

We pretty much knew that Saddam would be caught eventually, and frankly it amazed me that it took them as long as it did. It doesn't change anything for those of us who were oposed to the war. W didn't opose it because we thought they wouldn't get Saddam. W will get a short term boost in the polls from this but the American peoples' attention span is so short that no one will even remember it by next November, especially if, as I suspect, the insurgency continues and our soldiers keep dying. I don't believe the official propaganda that the insurgency is mostly about Saddam. W has been using Saddam as a convenient scapegoat and excuse which he won't have anymore.

By the way, please edit your post so it doesn't get locked, it's a good rant. :)

9. Even the most ignorant of

Americans will, in six months, be able to see what the true motives of this administration were. The only thing that could possibly change that is for "fucktard" to give up control, to the UN, and get the US soldiers OUT. Short, of course, of the ones that were part of an international effort to restore Iraq and return it to the people. Is this likely to happen ? I don't think so.

When US soldiers are still being killed six months from now - let him try to explain to their families (and the rest of the people) that they have nothing else to look forward to for a very long time.

This is a joyous day for the people of Iraq. Bush may think it is for him as well. My guess is that he will find out, in time, it won't help his "cause" at all.

10. good rant, Blade,

I feel the same way, just don't have the youth or energy to express it like you do. Keep up the good work.

Funny, how they can find Saddam in another country and not come up with the leaker in the white house who outed Valerie. Oh, I forgot ASScroft is taking care of that as soon as they edit the papers for him.

11. I thinks it's better

to get Saddam now than in six months or closer to the general election. Now there's plenty of time to take the focus off
the capture and point back to the lies of wmd. I feared that
the pugs had planned to get Saddam like, say, a week before
the general election.
