Thread Name: BS: 'a totally needless war'
Subject: RE: BS: 'a totally needless war'
This is too amusing. One moment Bush is criticized by all of Europe for his shoot-from-the-hip cowboy diplomacy and now we're upset because he didn't personally face Saddam at high noon? You don't mean to seriously question whether a Texan would be upset at shooting someone are you?

And surely we're all aware that the notion that the US was secretly assassinating world leaders we don't agree with is infinitely more worrisome than the thought that the neocons are planning another war they can't possible drum up the public support for? After all assassination is so much more cost effective and deniable than war. Saddam, himself a former assassin, was just too hard to get to. Lots of other world leaders would be sitting ducks. I've got a little list. They never will be missed.

Thanks, I need the laugh.
