From a November 25, 1997 article in Mother Jones:

"Conventional Wisdom," Newsweek, Nov. 17: "Take him down." (next to a photo of Hussein and a downward-plunging arrow)

Thomas Friedman, foreign affairs columnist, New York Times, Nov. 6: "Saddam Hussein is the reason God created cruise missiles. ...So if and when Saddam pushes beyond the brink, and we get that one good shot, let's make sure it's a head shot."

George Stephanopolous, former Clintonite and current ABC News analyst, on ABC'S "This Week," Nov. 9: "This is probably one of those rare cases where assassination is the more moral course...we should kill him."

Sam Donaldson, co-host of "This Week," Nov. 9: We should kill Saddam "under cover of law.... We can do business with his successor."

Bill Kristol, ABC News analyst, "This Week," Nov. 9: "It sounds good to me."

Cokie Roberts, co-host of "This Week," Nov. 9: "Well, now that we've come out for murder on this broadcast, let us move on to fast-track..."

Jonathan Alter, Newsweek, Nov. 17: "It won't be easy to take him out. ...But we need to try, because the only language Saddam has ever understood is force."

Newsweek, Dec. 1: "Why We Should Kill Saddam."

from a stock message board:

<<...the president and his cabinet are a bunch of oil and military industrial complex war profiteers, who will spill our blood for money...the entire system of democracy is defunct, destroyed, missing.

Ike warned us about the military industrial complex taking over the nation and our decisions with regard to war. It has happened. His warnings and his worst fears for America have come true.

Our soldiers are dying for a pile of lies by the worst bunch of traitors in the history of the world. Afganistan, justifiable, Osama, kill his ass. Iraq, its a lie and my kid would know better than to go there. Do you think these kids we are sending off are Harvard educated? NO, they are most often poor or just starting out in life. To send them on a mission of risk for a bunch of oil shits and arms dealers is treason...>>
