| American Commander: Saddam in Good Health |
| 2004-02-27 |
| BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - An imprisoned Saddam Hussein is in good health, the commander of U.S. forces said Thursday without offering further details on the former Iraqi leader’s confinement. "Health is good, no issues," Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez said. "He’s in good health." And let’s keep him that way, too. I want him in perfect health the day the Iraqi government puts a rope around his neck. Romans knew how to do this. A general’s triumph (parade to honor him at home after a big victory) always had a lot of pagaentry. Among the various things paraded about was the captured general. He was always well-fed, well-dressed, etc., so that the Roman citizenry could see that their boy defeated a worthy opponent. Just what we want with Saddam; let the Arab world see him at his trial and then his hanging. |

| #16 re: #13 i dunno... Dead Aragorn was one of the highlights of Two Towers for me -- maybe nice pretty display of Dead Saddam in a particularly obscenely ostentation room of one of his palaces might look good on the nightly news... Querent ("don't blame me, i voted for Boromir") |

| #15 As a person, I believe in the golden rule, I also believe everyone should have a chance and those who have a good heart should prosper. There is a war going on and nukes getting around, obviously you narrow argument of political and financial corruption stem from your hidden belief system that every authority is the enemy, yet you can't see that there is real evil behavior from the leaders outside the US, iran, north korea, even russia. They want what is now ours, it's a game of who controls the most resources. The same goes for dictators and islamic spiritial leaders who have alot of innocent people brainwashed. These islamist/arabs don't understand your narrow innocent aspect of the world, they've been lied to and in fear all there life and consider all Americans to be part of SATANs army, the only good thing they hear is the promise of paridise dying in battle! I understand your fear of a powerful president, but Bush isn't Hitler, and militant islam/arabs are in our FACE, nobody needs to make them a scapegoat like the Jews, they're already ACTIVE and what Bush did IRAQ was TOUGH LOVE for everyone. Try to lay off the moveon.org, talkleft.com, slate.com will ya!? |

| #13 By your logic, Aragorn should have been put to death after the War of the Ring. |

| #12 More stunning new arguments and clarity from the left. 1. Bush lied. 2. For Haliburton & oil Thanks Eleano. Bush blew a couple hundred billion and thousands of lives because he couldn't get oil or Haliburton contracts any other way. How could I have missed that, it's so obvious. Good thinking. |

| #10 One other thing, Eleano: Ya think your clientele would understand your neo-marxist rantings here, dude? Maybe a career change would be in order so you can serve the 'people' at Burger King, which given your recent statements is more your speed. Come on, Eleano. Give us more from Karl's playbook. Note: I think tattling would be tacky, personally. Just trying to rattle this guy's cage some. |

| #9 Surf here. then scroll to the very bottom to see who Eleano is. Big surprise, eh? Hey, Eleano: If I knew you were coming I would have baked a cake... Baked a cake... Baked a cake... |

| #8 You are a twisted little person,Anti! I do not recall Bush using Sarin on anybody,if you are"fair and rational"where are the Bush's mass graves. For someone who is"fair and rational"you have very little to say about BNP(French Bank)hanging on to Saddams"Oil for Palace's"money with a death grip. You know I do not seem to recall you complaining about justice for the victoms of Saddam and Co. rape rooms. "Fair and Rational"I don't think so. |

| #4 Ummm... what the heck are you smoking Eleano? Are you trying to compare Saddam's murder and rape and torture, to Bush? Do you really think this will result in anything other than folks around you hiding the sharp objects? |

| #3 A rope also should be put on the neck of president Bush the senior, and is associates for creating and assisting and encouraging Saddam and also on Bush the moron for bluntly lying to is own country just to reach economical and financial gains that only is manipulators and handlers can benefit from |

| #2 Heck, why not turn the helos into the world's largest food processor. If you slice him thin enough, everyone can get a souvenir. |
