with intelligence coming in that Saddam was aiding Ansar al Islam and planning terrorist strikes in the US, as Putin just announced? A topic which is verboten here. Saddam was a nice fellow, a bit ornery at times, but that is just the way things are over there, isn't it? Aren't they all, well, a bit, ah, passionate, so to speak? Moral persuasion always works, we should have tried a bit of that. Shame we couldn't morally persuade UBL a bit before he flew off the handle. What did Saddam ever do to me? To paraphrase Moahmmed Ali, I ain't got no fight with no AQ, they never did anything to me. Why couldn't we just make nice with Saddam? No reason to bust a gasket over things. Gee, whiz, I can't believe anyone actually gets mad over this inconsequential stuff, anyway. So what if the Kahn Nuke Souk was open for business? Those crazy folks over there don't know how to light a fuse, by gosh, without us showing them how. elBaradei doesn't know squat, anyway. Who cares if the Khan Nuke Souk was a "tip of the iceberg?" Icebergs melt, don't they? washingtonpost.com And, Putin, heck, he's an ex-commie anyway. And what are a few hacked heads here and there in the big scheme of things?
