"I don't hobnob with Islamophobes and apologists for mass slaughter in Gaza."

No you just hobnob with apologists for mass slaughter in New York - Clown.

Oh and talking of dishonesty Shaw I didn't mention that little bit about expressing sympathy for the victims because he did not mention it in response to the 9/11 attacks - here is the context:

Iraq: After first justifying the 9/11 attacks, Saddam Hussein, A FEW MONTHS LATER, offered his sympathy for the victims and Americans killed in the attacks.

Bit f**kin' late mate. Now why did you dishonestly omit that little bit of information Steven old boy??

"where's Saddam's one-liner to the effect that yeah, bloody yanks, well done you terrorists, hooray, gimme some more of THAT! "

I would have thought that his remark made at Babil on the 8th October, 2001 - i.e. "The United States must get a taste of its own poison..." in the light of what had happened less than a month earlier is not that short of the mark. Neither, for that matter, is "publicly imagining" the magnified effect in terms of fatalities of similar attacks with hundreds of aircraft or with biological weapons. But there again Steve if you are incapable of seeing those statements for what they are then you really must be rather bone thick (Something that I would not find surprising in the least).

I'd love to know what your drinking buddies made of 7/7 - must've been a riot down at the Dog 'n' Duck that night.
