If by "Keep 'em Coming" you mean the people who put Saddam in power in the first place, I guess next on the list is Donald Rumsfeld.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Mystery Squid @ Dec 29 2006, 11:54 PM) [snapback]368502[/snapback]</div> Is that the same thing as "Bring 'em on!"? And why are we so happy to kill our Reagan-era ally?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Schmika @ Dec 30 2006, 10:08 AM) [snapback]368633[/snapback]</div> Thank you, Karl, for (so far) the only sane appraisal of this absurd circus I've seen yet. Whether one agrees with invoking a death sentence or not, taking delight in invoking it really does put us at the same level as savages. Mark Baird Alameda CA

I love this "moral" high ground stuff when you're never actuall in the situation.... :lol: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(IsrAmeriPrius @ Dec 30 2006, 05:00 PM) [snapback]368668[/snapback]</div> I suppose you would have taken no "delight" in hanging Hitler yourself?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Mystery Squid @ Dec 30 2006, 06:54 PM) [snapback]368743[/snapback]</div> Thanks for the wake up PM nudge, Saddam. Glad to see you are on [the] board with me now. By the Power vested in me by Godwin's Law, I declare Mystery Squid as the loser in this thread, and that this thread should be closed! Anyone debating against any point mentioned by Mystery Squid should declare a victory. Heil PriusChat Hitler!
Let this be a tale of caution to all the dictators out there: don't get too greedy. Saddam had it all... ...that is, until he tried to take Kuwait, but that's not what really did him in... ...putting HW's pic. on the floor of a hotel did... :lol:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Mystery Squid @ Dec 29 2006, 11:54 PM) [snapback]368502[/snapback]</div> I’m not sure how many billions of dollars, Americans killed or disabled, or how much more it will take. But, they should have just asked me! I would have done it for $1 million. Wham bam and it’s all over. Easy pesy! Buta bing, buta bang! Etc. etc…….. B)
The 2nd invasion took place against the advice of Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and most of the European countries. Eliminating Sadam removed the one stabilizing force in Iraq and allowed Iran to start playing power games. Our flavor of democracy can not be forced, it has to evolve through cultural change – that takes time and can not be “installedâ€. The price we are going to pay, not taking into account our dead, is going to be high.
Lessee, 9/11. It's said, engineered by Bin Laden, so we invade a different country because of WMD's which a) were never found and B) would have been used against us if they did exist. Bin Laden gets a pass. We give billions of unaccounted for $$ to 'friends of junior', kill untold tens of thousands, junior gets a pass. I guess you have to vote republican to be smart enough to 'get it'. Certainly I feel dumb as a post. Good thing I'm not prez or who ever engineered 9/11 would be very unhappy, we'd all have healthcare, childcare in the workplace, a higher standard of living, and wonder of wonders, an extended economic surplus. I'm such a fool!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Mystery Squid @ Dec 30 2006, 05:54 PM) [snapback]368743[/snapback]</div> If I was in that situation, and thought doing Saddam in would bring them back, you bet I would. But given reality, I'd just as soon avoid simple revenge.
