Officials: Bush upset by Hussein hanging video

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush was upset after watching the video of Saddam Hussein's execution, comparing it to how he felt after seeing the photographs of Iraqi prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib, White House officials said Wednesday.

Dark, grainy video -- apparently recorded on a cell phone -- of Hussein's December 30 hanging was leaked to the media soon after the execution.

In the video, taunts from Shiites can be heard moments before Hussein, a Sunni, is hanged.

Bush found the taunting of Hussein as he stood on the gallows with a noose around his neck disturbing, the officials said. Bush had a similar reaction when he saw the photos of U.S. military personnel abusing naked and restrained prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison outside of Baghdad in 2003.

3. bush was only upset bc it gave him a woody

and he didn't want his base to know.

Somehow i don't believe he would be at all upset by the hanging video, but i can imagine him whacking off to it. sorry for the crude visual, but bush is utterly disgusting given (among other things) his disregard for human life. so much for the culture of life bullshit he fed the slack-jawed moranic freepers.

9. What - he decided to watch it a week later

Sounds an awful lot like his quick response to the Katrina when his people made him watch the situation there on a pieced togetner video 5 days after people started drowning.

10. Well, they were both initiated and approved by his administration. So

I suppose I see the comparison as well.
