Good riddance to bad rubbish!! The butcher can burn now. Oh, and the 40 virgins.......PSYCHE !!!

Too bad he didn't fight to the death like his two sons. Instead, he gets pulled out of a hole in the ground like the coward he was by an American soldier. He was thought to have been responsible for the deaths of a million people during his thirty years of rule. There should be a special place in Hell for people like him.

There was one death today that bothers me though. "Freckles", my eleven year old English Springer Spaniel I use as my avatar, passed away this morning. It was from a combination of old age, overeating, and being loved to death. He will be missed!

Sorry about your dog, scratch. We sure do get attached to them, don't we?

Thanks, they are like members of the family. Dogs are always happy to see us, no matter what kind of a day we have. Freckles would stand in the bay window and wait for me to get home and he would "tell" me about his day. I have never had a dog with so much personality.

Saddam was a cruel and evil man. It's difficult to comprehend all of the pain and suffering he caused. Somehow putting him to death didn't seem like enough punishment...

Scratch, I'm sorry to hear about Freckles. My family has been lucky enough to have included some really great dogs over the years. It's really difficult when they die, my heart goes out to you.

[tieguy]

Heres to freckles who lived his life with much more class then Saddaam could ever muster.

[tieguy]

In the end Saddaam still wins. He was allowed to die with dignity and a minimum of pain while his victims died horribly brutal often torturous deaths. If there was any justice then he would be reborn and have to die a million more times in a million brutally different ways.

Why do some of us see an undercurrent of saddam's philosophy embraced by our management team?

So sorry for your loss. It goes so deep as we get used to being away from family, then we have a dog, and it makes it so hard when you lose a family member you see every day, Like a dog. My thoughts are with you. It is tough. I always say Ill never get another, then a few months pass, you heal, and guess what, you bring another one home. Because they are too good to live without. Each one is special, never like the last, but they all end up being special in their own way to us.

In answer to you question,
because you are an idiot.
I try to not be overly personal in my posts, but in your case I gladly take acception.
How the Hell can you equate Saddam and UPS.
I assume you think you are making a quick cute remark. I personally take offense at your line of thinking. Many lives of are best and brightest were sacrificed to bring about the end of Saddams murderous reign.
If you agree or disagree that we should have gone to War is another subject.
UPS has not murdered thousands of human beings.
For you to compare the two shows more about your mentality than reality. Please reply to this post and explain to me what you are trying to say.

I am sorry for your loss. Friends come few and far between. The only words of comfort I can give is to be thankful for the eleven years you got to share.
As far as Saddam, he was lucky that I was not his executioner.

So, I guess his death makes the war worth it?

We stopped him from killing his own people but, as we have found out, they didn't need his help in killing each other. All we have done is give them new targets. Us.

If our military can do its job and not have to worry about political correctness then the terrorists (insurgents to Liberals) attacks would decline. Our commanders in the field should have complete oversight but instead have to worry about being polictaly correct. Instead of kicking the crap out of the terrorists and making examples of them they have to follow BS rules of engagement that only works to benefit the enemy. That is what makes our boys targets. At the end of WW2 the Nazis, what was left of them, were launching terrorists attacks against Americans, American interests, and anyone supporting America. They were called "Werewolves" and our military cammanders back then weren't infected with liberalism and were able to put down the Werewolves by going after them with brute force. There was no mercy. Orders were to kill them on site. No rules of engagement. They were made examples of. Torture? What we did to them was nothing compared to what the Nazis and Japs did to their prisoners. The Werewolves, and anyone else, quickly learned that the US was not to be messed with. The brute force put fear into the enemy and that combined with War of Attrition put an end to the attacks. That's what war is all about. Killing your enemy off. Injuring so many they can't fight. Putting so much fear in them they won't fight. I'm glad it was possible for our military to operate freely back then otherwise we'd be speaking German now. Our current military can't do anything right. Its because they can't kill off the enemy, or injure so many they can't fight, or strike so much fear into them they wont fight because now they have to worry about upsetting someone. They have BS rules of engagement. They are scared to pull the trigger because it might land them in a mlitary court for killing a civilian that was probably in the way, probably helping the terrorists. And worst of all.....can't fight without worrying about chipping a damn flake of paint of a mosk (<---probably not spelled right. don't care). The liberal media is hanging over our guys shoulders just waiting to report to the world about how bad, and evil they are. They show our guys getting sniped and blown up on the news yet, cut the video short just when Saddam is about to fall through the trap door. The two biggest threats to our country, and the rest of the free nations, is Islam, and Liberalism (a mental disorder). They go hand and hand and that is why our guys have become targets.

Excellent post, BAU. Agree with that.

Damn insurgents have no problem be-heading people on tv.
WE SHOULD BE DOING THE SAME TO THEM. (and to their friends, families, and anyone else who even looks at our troops wrong).

I don't know about taking it that far but we do need to get tougher on the enemy. What's the point in spending time and money so that we can have the best, well trained, most state of the art military known to man if we are going to just tie their hands behind their backs with the ropes of liberalism when they are called up to do their jobs? We have arguably the best military in the world but at the same time it is the least feared. Thanks to liberalism...the cancer of the American spirit.

New targets? Look back over the news of the last 15 years. There are over 18 major conflicts going on in the world that pre-date the Iraq war. All are from islamic fanatics trying to shape the world to their vision of how the world should live. Saddams death and his sons is not the measure of this war, but
it is a part of its conclusion in Iraq. You can believe or ignore the fact that we are in a world war. This war will continue thru most of our lifetimes, so please do not try and confine it to one scumballs death.

[over9five]

Well, Tyrone, my wife says that won't be necessary.

Perhaps we could try it with some of those carcinogenic liberals....?

I thought the military was under the direct control of Bush, and that they were not run by a bunch of panty waist LIBERALS.

What do you suggest that we do to get rid of the bunch of weak minded TRAITORS that are waging this half-azzed war? Do you think Congress (the voice of the People), should imprison the whole bunch, and set about restoring America’s standing in the world?

Thanks again for your insight, it’s a real change of air to hear a viewpoint such as yours.

PS--are you a buddy of 'bigbobups'? I think you'd like him.

Bush, Cheney, Rummy, and Condi, only have so much control over what goes on militarily. And since Bush's presendency isn't a dictatorship (thank god) they don't have complete control, or oversight, on how our military operates. All of the suites and ties sitting in the beltway have as much, if not more, control over exactly how much power our military can infict on the enemy. Unfortanetly, the disease of liberalism has mutated and spread among those suits so every decision that comes down from Washingtion has a touch of political correctness. Therefore, our soldiers in the street of Iraq have their hands tied behind their backs while they worry about the Geneva Convention and are told to be carefull where they fire there weapons because they might offend "ISLAM", meanwhile, the terrorists have free reign. So you see....liberalism is getting our troops killed. What makes me sick is all the liberals in this country bitch and whine about it and don't even realize that their sick mentallity is why it is happening.

Oh My God, are you really that filled with hatred for people that don't toe your party line?

Don't blame the "liberals", blame the people that put the troops there in the first place, the Bush Administration. They are the ones that started an offensive war against a country that had nothing to do with 9-11 while putting the country that did on the back burner.

Where is Osama? You remember him, don't you? The one that actually was and is a real threat to this country. The one that was directly responsible for 9-11. We have let him live so we could go after a some piss ant dictator that posed us no threat. Smooth move that was.

The Iraq war had NOTHING to do with the war on terror. It does now only because we made it that way.

"Don't blame the "liberals", blame the people that put the troops there in the first place, the Bush Administration. They are the ones that started an offensive war against a country that had nothing to do with 9-11 while putting the country that did on the back burner."

On the back burner? So I guess all the troops (not only American) are just having a big party in Afghanistan? They aren't killing terrorists? They haven't dropped numerous bombs with Osam's name on them? They haven't taken bullets from terrorists over there while over here the U.S.'s other enemy (liberalism) blames them for everything?

"Where is Osama? You remember him, don't you? The one that actually was and is a real threat to this country. The one that was directly responsible for 9-11. We have let him live so we could go after a some piss ant dictator that posed us no threat. Smooth move that was."

To say we let him go is just irresponsible. A stupid statement. And to say Saddam wasn't a threat?...well, if anyone has to explain to you why you are wrong then you'll never know. The disease of liberalsim has run it's course through your mind. You are done.

"The Iraq war had NOTHING to do with the war on terror. It does now only because we made it that way."

Oh sure! Everything is our fualt. Everything! We are forcing them to blow themselves up and taking out our troops. We are forcing them to snipe our troops. We are forcing them to form terrorist cells (insurgent militias to you liberals). We are forcing them to hide behind women and children and mosks to avoid being killed. You see it's this mentallity that is slowly turning this country inside out. It's just like here at home....its not the people on wellfare's fault they are lazy. It's the government's fault so give the deadbeats money. Liberalsim is crippling this country.

The stakes are too high to sit back and let the disease run its course. What plan of action should we take?

Anxiously awaiting your reply,
A friend of bigbobups.

The 'weak minded TRAITORS" are the liberals (not necessarily all Democrats) that hold offices and are also typical American citizens. And yes, it is a half assed war as long as people like this have any power in government. Unfortunately the only way to get rid of them is to not elect them but liberaism has spread unchecked rapidly for so long it is too late. There are too many Americans with agendas more important then the safety of their own country and they need, depend, on liberals having power in the government. The rest of us that are awake and see the problem can only hope that the liberals will wake up soon and recognize that our country is comming apart from outside and inside.

Who is "bigbobups"??????

I can't argue with you. Arguing with a simple minded fanatic is pointless.
