"President Bush sends his regards."
Is what US soldiers said to Saddam when they pulled the cover off his hole. I couldn't care less about Saddam. But this soldier said it so smugly and "freeperish" as he told reporters about it....have you ever wanted to smack a soldier more?

1. He didn't say that.
That's what some colonel told him to tell everyone that he said.

"Regards" is WAY too sophisticated a word for freepers.

6. For one thing Saddam does not speak english,
therefore he could not have said what they say he said.

11. It was just speculation
based on the fact that the Bush administration makes things up all the time.

Lighten up.

3. it's just more propaganda to prop up Bush
this is the way it is these days everything has to have a little spin to it. It is disgusting.

13. you gotta remember
Our servicepeople consider Bush their Commander. Its highly likely a soldier would say something like this. I doubt very seriously it has anything to do with propoganda.

15. Smacking a US Special Ops soldier...
Would most likely result in the smacker's ass being kicked.

19. How'd He Know?
Look at Sadam today, now tell me how anyone would know it was him at first?

There isn't a snow ball's chance in hell that the guy said anything other than get your hands up and get out of that hole, just about to shit every second it took to do it too.
