Saddam Hussein: A Bush Conservative?

[Mark E. Smith]

Consider the facts:

1) Saddam led his country into a disastrous war over oil. So did George W. Bush.
2) Saddam tortured prisoners, sometimes to death. Bush still does.
3) They both shook hands with Donald Rumsfeld.
4) Both obsessively spied on millions of their own people.
5) Saddam ended up in the dock defending himself for crimes committed while in office. Bush will soon.

2. I guess Hussein's mother

was an ignorant cow of a human who had no concept of decency and should have believed in abortion.

- The both also liked to dress up and pretend they were badass military heroes.

7. I'm adding that to the list

6) Both like to dress up in military uniforms
7) Neither one could quite figure out how to handle iran

3. Fingers crossed

5) Saddam ended up in the dock defending himself for crimes committed while in office. Bush will soon.

I hope, I hope, I hope......

8. I hope so as well

Too bad he has the Religious Right, The Senate, The House of Representatives, The Supreme Court, and too many cowardly Democratic politicians in his back pocket. Bush is a prick but the powers that be have his back.

5. 6) Saddam represented only a minority of his country as does *

7) Both claim to be legal President of their country, though some legal scholars dispute both claims.

6. When CNN (ConNewsNetwork) kept repeating the Saddam trial news,

I was curious what would Saddam's poll numbers in Iraq look like.

Then CNN showed Bush's poll numbers, and I wondered if Saddam's Iraq poll numbers were better than Bush's poll numbers in the U.S.
