Priorities and Values [Dan Collins]

Kos diarists on Gerald Ford

Kos diarists on Saddam Hussein

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?

UPDATE:

TEHRAN, Iran (AP)—President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad scorned U.N Security Council sanctions imposed against Iran, telling a crowd Tuesday that Iran had humiliated the United States in the past and would do so again.

Speaking in the southwestern provincial capital of Ahvaz, Ahmadinejad said the Security Council’s resolution last month was invalid and had left the world body’s reputation in tatters.

The council voted unanimously to bar all countries from selling materials and technology to Iran that could contribute to its nuclear and missile programs. It also froze the assets of 10 Iranian companies and 12 individuals related to those programs.

“Let the world know that from the Iranian nation’s point of view, this resolution has no validity,” Ahmadinejad said.

He said the United States was the main power behind the resolution, and warned Washington: “I want you to know that the Iranian nation has humiliated you many times, and it will humiliate you in future.”

Has anyone ever told you you’re almost as handsome as Mike Wallace?

    Either these people are living in a parallel universe or I need to start drinking gin out of smaller containers. Are their parents proud of them? Do they honestly belive the world would be a better place if everyone in the U.S. thought as they do? 

    Judas Priest, to think these folks vote – when we’re not hosing them and sicking the dogs on them at the polls!

    We’ve shut him up.

    The moment Saddam’s hooded executioner pulled the lever of the trapdoor in Baghdad yesterday morning, Washington’s secrets were safe.

    So, this is how a talking point is born.

    /asshat on

    Really, Saddam was our friend, and we went in there and took him out of power and had him executed so that he wouldn’t tell any Washington secrets.

    It’s not as if Saddam hadn’t been ranting his ass off since we uprooted him like a genocidal turnip from the Tikrit furrow he’d planted himself in until the end of the rope. And of course, we couldn’t have just dropped a grenade in there when we found him. No, we let the Iraqis put on that three ring circus Saddam turned his trial into just to make it look good.

    And it worked perfectly! Bwaahahahahaa! I’d just like to know how we kept him from talking about how we helped him kill all those people. He did a really good job of acting like he wasn’t really good buddies with Bushco.

    /asshat off

    It’s one thing to write crap like this, but how bent do you have to be to believe it?

    How do <b>you</i> define “precious”?

    The persecution and assassination of Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Baghdad Under the Direction of <del>the Marquis de Sade</del> George W. Bush

    SB: room33

    should be 101

    See? I can make stupid literary allusions, too.

    From the leftist fever swamp, we get this about President Ford

    I kept thinking, yes Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon, but he also pardoned Rumsfeld and Cheney, in effect, creating the current Neo-Conservative psuedo-Fascist Republican Party that he himself spoke against, just before his death.

    The leftist fever swamp then spews out the following about Saddam,

    The persecution and assassination of Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Baghdad Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade George W. Bush

    and

    Saddam Hussein was tried, convicted, and hanged for killing 148 people in 1982.

    Is anyone really surprised?  These people are willing to give a murdering monster like Saddam a pass and pretend that the ONLY thing he might have been guilty of was the murder of 148 people in 1982, as if that alone wasn’t enough to justify his execution?

    Ofcourse Saddam’s crimes pale, PALE in comparison to those of Ford/Bush/Cheyney/Rumsfeld! Just ask the thousands of dead from Halabja and the al anfal campaign. Ask the three million dead from Saddam’s war against Iran. Ask the Shia in the south and the Kuwaitis. Ask the tens of thousands killed in Saddam’s squalid prisons and torture chambers.

    Oh wait, they can’t answer, they’re dead. How conveeeenient. Let’s face it, in the minds of such folk, there is no evil that is not America’s fault.

    I wonder howmany of those writing this bilge went to Iraq to be human shields or would have written such tripe had they been Iraqis living under Saddam’s rule?

    Finally, an Iraqi perspective from ITM

    Outside Iraq people will divide over his hanging, just like they divided over his life and rule but here in Iraq most of us feel that today justice has been served. Those who mourn him are a few and are still living in the past that has no future in Iraq.

    Ah yes, the Klass of the Koz kiddies.  I really like the meme that is beginning to get a foothold that it would have been preferable to try him in a Nuremberg type setting.  That is, it would have been better for the victors to try the former ruler of the losers, rather than let the Iraqi’s try their own.  I think we know what the reaction would have been if that had been tried.

  6. BumperStickerist says:

    From MyLeftWing – Frontpage:

    I watched the video to see for myself what I knew that the “official reports” would not say.  What I saw was what any other honest soul would tell you.  That Saddam died without fear, surrounded by a bloodthirsty lynch mob, after a kangaroo court with questionable fairness and a strange and seemingly unnecessary rush to the gallows.

    I’m by no means defending Saddam Hussein.  But what I did think is this: Only in Iraq could a murderous tyrant be turned into a martyr, and his victims be truned into an angry lynch mob.

    Saddam ‘died without fear’

    That’s fine.

    okay.

    whatever.

    In a way, the Daily Kos is a good thing for society. It helps the moonbats get all of their psycotic illnesses out in the open for everyone to see. It shows us what we’re up against. Additionally, it exposes all the leftists to ridicule (whereas before they would have muddled through life wondering why nobody else shares their view and thinking that they are victims of society). As they say, sunlight is the best disinfectant.

  8. PC says:

    sunlight is the best disinfectant.

    love that. so true – I can’t believe that the leftists actaully believe all the crap they spew. But it makes for some really great entertainment.

  9. Tatterdemalian says:

    Only in Iraq the mind of a moonbat could a murderous tyrant be turned into a martyr, and his victims be truned into an angry lynch mob.

    There, fixed.

  10. Dg says:

    ugh, I clicked a “KOS” link.. I feel dirty…

    I will admit I did not like the way that it was done. The chanting, the taunting the condemned, we certainly could have done with out that.. well actually I think Iraq could have done without that.

    A more professional, business-like hanging would be more… appropriate.

    Chanting outside, fine, in the death chamber, no.

    What’s weird is that Democratic politicians actually post and live blog over there.  John Edwards did on the day he announced his presidential run.

  12. Major John says:

    Maybe Mr. Edwards didn’t read any of it, before psoting on a diary there…
