Repubs don't like to talk about how Saddam rose to power.

[Philosoraptor]

Or who sold him the poison gas that he 'gassed his own people' with, they really clam up or start justifying like crazy, but most of all they just don't like to talk about how the CIA and donnie rumsfeld and cheney and daddy bush and baker and the usual suspects helped nurture and train Saddam. How we supported him financially for years and turned our heads at his atrocities for profit's sake.

Exactly like they don't like to talk about how OSAMA rose to power. Try it sometime, try to engage a bush zombie in that debate and watch the fun.

There are so many things that they don't like to talk about here lately.

1. they don't like to discuss facts or reality, in general

it's crucial to their fragile, group-fabricated worldview that facts and reality not be entered in as evidence, lest the neocon bubble would burst.

2. Boy...was I wrong

I just assumed he won the leadership role in a raffle and he found those weapons under his bed...oh wait...I'm sorry. That was scrubbie that went looking under the bed.
And as for how he became the prez'nit...well...winning a rafffle is pretty f**king close.
