What to do with Saddam? |
Given Bush's penchant for Roman Imperialism lately, how about a
triumphal parade?
Saddam could be placed in a cage in chains and people could throw
rotten vegetables at him.
Bush could sit on his chariot, with a vestal virgin whispering in his
hear "thou art but a mortal".
You could have the Dallas cheerleaders dressed in slave drag.
Perle could wear a toga, recline and have a fat eunuch feed him grapes
and peacock tongues.
Humvees with carburetors adjusted to spew huge clouds of billowy black
smoke could flank the main floats.
At the end of the parade, Bush could behead Saddam with a sword and
hoist the bloody head aloft.

No, Bush will not dare to do that. He knows that most of the rotten
vegetables (and eggs) will be aimed at him.

Way off topic, but having to do with things being thrown at
presidents....
Nixon landed in Marine One on the white house lawn after a trip
somewhere (forget where). Reporters were yelling questions and one
asked "How was the trip?"
To which Nixon replied: "I got stoned."
"Beg your pardon, Mr. President?"
"I got stoned. I was riding in my motorcade and people were throwing
rocks and stones at me. And let me tell you, it was not at all like
getting stoned in college."

You know, Roedy, as glad as I am to know that Saddam Hussein has
*probably* been captured, I have come to disbelieve everything my
country's government says any more to where I really can't be sure of
anything any more. Was he really captured? Was he hiding in a spider
hole? Is that a real beard? Was it really in Tikrit? Was it US forces
that captured him, or "coalition" forces? Who the fawk knows any more?
Life as we know it has become a load of diaper gravy.
Hogan out.

After you have seen Wag the Dog, you can never look an another news
story again without a jaundiced eye.
One thing that surprised me was Saddam's straggly hair. I would have
thought someone like Saddam with such a nice head of hair at such an
advanced age surely had a rug. That TV shot was not a the usual hair
you see on Saddam. I looks like Saddam is one of those lucky devils
who has a natural full head of hair.
They took a cheek cell swab sample that can be used for DNA testing.
But that presumes:
1. Bush has a reference DNA sample guaranteed to be of the real
Saddam. How did he get that? If agents could have got close enough
to take one, surely they could have got close enough to kill him.
Perhaps they took it in the old days when Rumsfeld and Saddam were
buddies.
2. Bush will tell you the truth about the lab results.
I don't think though Bush would dare try to pass a double off as
Saddam. Surely too many people would know the real Saddam, or
computer face metrics would prove the forgery. We have photos from a
decade ago of someone we are pretty sure is the real Saddam.

I dont think a saddam double would remain quiet especially knowing
that the Iraqi people want to tear him to pieces.

"I am glad he was captured alive so he can be brought
before the bar of justice," Clinton said Sunday in a statement.
Emperor Caligula constructed a machine to do it,
and having made even his horse a senator, why not?
but then again, if, as Bill says, Hussein is to be suffered
at the same bar of Justice that, he, himself was disenfranchised from,
why should not, he, Bill Clinton be appointed to tend that Bar?
That, if, as he said in '95,
the Road to Tyranny begin with the Destruction of the Truth.
Should it not end with a wink and a drink?
Desire indulged, appetite sated, and that's all?
With so many other sights to show us,
why should we not take pause before
the guilty be rewarded?
http://www.enn.com/news/2003-09-04/s_7932.asp
"Forgetting his triumph, Peter thought instead of fallen trees, parched meadows,
choked streams, and of each and every wolf struggling for survival,"
Clinton narrates. "The time has come to leave wolves in peace."
Oh, yes.
He can save them all,
being the first president
to have granted clemancy to
convicted terrorists who'd murdered
American Citizens, it JUST gets-easier all the time.
Thank YOU! Bill Clinton.
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/archives/whitehouse-papers/1993/Oct/Presidents-Somalia-Message-to-Congress-1993-10-13
"to leave now we would send a message to terrorists
and other potential adversaries around the world that
they can change our policies by killing our people.
It would be open season on Americans."
--- Bill Clinton, just before he pulled out of Somalia.

I have to agree with Bush, let the Iraqi people decide. Certainly they will
give him death.

Asking those families, still grieving over their loss would not be a
good poll. Ask the soldiers themselves.
Better yet, ask who the majority of them are going to vote for in
2004.
