American soldiers die for Bush family's feud
It appears the cat is finally out of the bag concerning our reason for invading Iraq ("Saddam’s execution ends feud with Bushes," Dec. 31). What a revelation to know that 3,000 American troops have given their lives because the Bushes had a burr under their saddles over Saddam Hussein's hatred of them. All the drivel concerning weapons of mass destruction, mushroom clouds, threat to the security of the United States and on and on was really just to cover up the real reason, getting rid of Saddam because of his threat to kill Daddy Bush and Barbara and Laura. The jury is still out on the accuracy of the threat, according to the article in the paper.
Will the American people ever get their bellies full of these people and demand accountability for the irresponsible conduct that has caused such harm to our country and our young men and women who serve in the military? We can only pray that the day of reckoning is fast approaching. January 2009 cannot come fast enough for me.

seems to me it would've been easier just to shoot him in the head as he climbed out of the spider hole.

If one reads anything Osama has written - it is clear he had a hard-on for GHW Bush because he used the land of Mecca to stage an infidel military force in while fighting the Gulf War.
Read his October 2004 message to America that containing secret orders for terrorist cells (I have a bridge foe sale, btw), and you'll find very unflattering things about the Bushies.
As for Saddam .. check out the date on this one, although it's from the land of tree huggers:

"The assassination plot is something that has weighed on the younger President Bush. He told a fund-raising crowd last fall:
"There's no doubt (that Saddam) can't stand us. After all, this is the guy that tried to kill my dad at one time."

"As for why the elder Bush didn't rout Saddam when he had the chance, he and senior advisers have explained in their memoirs that the U.N. mandate was only to force Iraqi troops from Kuwait. To have gone beyond, they have said, would have upset a delicate balance among Arab nations and endangered Arab peace talks with Israel."
Imagine that.

I thought some of the far left kook fringe would chill out a bit after the Dems took Congress, but apparently not.

BTW, what ever happened to the "no war for oil" slogan? Haven't heard it in awhile.

Looks like the cakewalk that Miss America had envisioned has ran into a couple of stumbling blocks. Mother Sheehan and co. is upset that they have been in power for almost 12 hours and haven't withdrawn the troops yet or had Bush hanged.
It's gonna be an entertaining couple of years to watch the dems chase their own tail.

"Looks like the cakewalk that Miss America had envisioned ..."
Neo -- It was Mr. America, and the term was Slam Dunk.

One of my more amusing Christmas -- er, "Holiday" gifts was a Bush countdown clock. It's a ticker running backward counting down to the second until GWB's reign of terror is over. Happy New Year.

"Daddy Bush" is so 2003.

Howie G,
What I'd like is a picture like we had back when Lefty Drisell coached at Univ of Maryland. Had Lefty's bald head like a gas guage, with the arrow pointing to empty! Put one of the guages on "W"'s forehead!
neocon,
Hope you had a great New Year and that you heard from your nephew in Iraq and he is safe and sound.
JDR et al,
With all the rats leaving the ship, when do you think we'll see Condi & Rummy get their Medals of Freedom? While I do not support Impeachment proceedings against Bush, I would love to see Cheney investigated like they did Clinton--until they find something!! Ford called him "pugnacious" but I think he's just a plain old home grown, A, number one Assh_le!
