Its pretty said that the Democrats have placed themselves in the position where they benefit politically if the US loses the war on terrorism..

We had plenty to say about W before this jabberwocky, we'll have more to say about him still. :D enlightment06 summed it up pretty well.

That being said, I'm glad they captured the jackass. I don't think anybody deserves the death penalty, but if I was about to start supporting it, he'd be first on the list.

I dont' know that I would want him to get the death penalty. Just b/c I think thats the easy way out for him. They should lock him up in a 6X6 room and torture him.

This morning when we all found out, we all were plotting torture ideas. My still very drunk friend suggested lots and lots of paper cuts, then tie him up and have lil' Iraqi children piss on the cuts. Then have their dads hit up a couple of times. Another said we should use him the "formerly Jackass" show, just use him as the stunts. It was funny at the time.

Yay for all the American troops!!

I would like to add that the new Iraqi gov. does not have a death penality. (But there could be an amendment to the constitution) Saddam will be tried by the Iraqi gov. They said it all day on the news.


Plus I was going to vote for Bush yesterday and I plan on voting for him today even more.

Do any of you GCers realize how reckless it is to fire guns in the air in celebration?

Being an ex-police officer, i think that they should take the weapons away from the jubilant Iraqis, they have no clue of the danger.

close enough Tom? Russ, you gotta get used to Earp-spake.

Kitso, thanks. Now, Tom makes perfect sense. You should work for the UN as a translator. ;)

No. Please, no. It ain't even about politics, dems vs. repubs, liberals vs. conservatives. It's much bigger than that. I wouldn't want a super extreme leftist in office either. Bush is just bad, bad, bad news. All empires must fall, even the empire of the United States of America. I hope to God that we can change course before it's too late.

Is it just a coincidence that most people around the world (including the U.S. voting population) think that G.W. Bush is a threat to world peace and stability and is just an overall poor leader? In the words of Mugatu, "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here!!!"

I think you don't see the difference between a majority and a vocal minority.

AlphaXi4983 12-14-2003 09:20 PM

well, there goes my Iraq paper... *crumples up 10 page essay and starts over*

but i am glad to hear he has been caught. as someone said before, the joy on the faces of many of the Iraqis makes it worth it. hopefully they will be able to get some useful information from him.

Actually I believe that enlightenment06 was refering to either the BBC world poll, or the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corp.) poll, or the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp.), or the Rueters poll, or the CNN Iternatational opinion polls.

They all stated that a majority of people polled, including ones from coalition countires, viewed Bush as a threat to world security and peace. They ranked the threat posed by the Bush admin. as the most likely to lead to further conflict.

Admittedly it wasn't a scientific poll, but a public opinion poll, conducted by interviewing people on the street. I have no idea who they asked, or the exact phrasing of the question.

I've never supported the death penalty, but I'd pay a hefty sum to personally participate in his.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't the U.S. facilitate Saddam's rise to power in the first place?

No, Saddam was already in power and at war with Iran when the U.S. "freiendship" began. It was looked upon as the lesser of two evils at the time.
