It's OK to kill millions in Iraq, Saddam did it too - Bush's spokesman

Submitted by Canada IFP on Thu, 2007-06-21

US President George W. Bush's spokesman yesterday defended the killing of nearly a million civilians in Iraq on the basis that Saddam Hussein did the same.

"Many have died, and hundreds of thousands died under the previous regime," Tony Snow told reporters at a White House press briefing on the issue hundreds of thousands of civilians being killed by the occupation. "This is a place that has too long been wracked by violence."

"Unfortunately, if we fought evil guys who simply would say, you caught us, we're evil, we give up, we'll be good -- that would be great, that would be wonderful," Snow replied when asked whether it is right for the United States to compare itself with a dictatorial regime.

But Snow said that he was not sure whether or not US forces were killing Iraqis who were opposing American presence in their country, saying "that requires the kind of canvas of those who have died that I'm not capable of doing."

5. I will never forget the picture of this clown, what a sniveling coward he

was in the helicopter ride over Baghdad.

He sure acts like hot shit when he's back here safe and sound.

6. That's an amazing statement

So I guess if Saddam ended up in hell for his crimes, I guess Bush and his crew have spot reserved also.

7. That explanation sounds like a line from "Lil' Bush"

"All the other kids are doing it!"

I don't know how Tony Snow can look himself in the mirror.

10. In that case, it must be OK to hang fascist dictators upside down from lampposts

because Italians did it too. So there!

12. So, should we call him Saddam Boosh or George Hussein?

:eyes:

Get the toddlers out of the WH!

13. Curious statement.....

"that requires the kind of canvas of those who have died that I'm not capable of doing."

So, is he saying that we should 'canvas' those who have died, but we can't because they are dead?

Is that up there with "It was necessary to destroy the village in order to liberate it"?

:shrug:

15. not sure whether US forces were killing Iraqis who were opposing American presence in their country

Yea, maybe the Iraqis are throwing flowers on our soldiers and dancing in the streets Tony?

These freaks belong in rubber rooms so they can't injure themselves or others.

16. "..the *previous* regime." Is that a Freudian slip? Reads to me as if he's admitting

that we're the *current* regime.
