Where did I say he should use the same source as our president?
The link he posted was one of the worst examples of editorializing I have ever seen.
Pure and utter bullshit.

When did I say I get my news from those who do editorialize?
How do you know I'm not already doing the same?
Did you consider it possible that I posted this as an example of how some who call themselves journalists confuse the masses with their horrible editorials?
Why don't you restrict your comments to the ideas presented rather than assuming you know what I believe?
It would be more constructive in our search for the truth. Plus you wouldn't seem like such a pretentious prick.
The least you could do is suggest another source for getting facts, if this one is such bullshit. Do you get your news from a non-bullshitty source? If so, tell me where? That would be constructive at least. Just whisking it all aside still leaves nothing.
Surely you don't really have nothing to offer.

How can anyone criticize the US "handling" of Saddam. I heard someone refer to the televised checkup as Saddam being handled like a cow or some shit like that. Had Saddam not gotten a checkup by the US we would be accused of neglect or some crap. It is so infuriating. The US isn't going to "handle" Saddam. Just hold him until Iraq or an international court can have a trial.
So anyway, I was watching the history channel right before work and they were doing a show about Saddams life. After watching the show I don't think he should be executed. After a childhood like that anyone would be severely fucked up. They need to put a couple of Arab physiologists on him and try to get his head back on straight. Of course he would never see the light of day again but it would be interesting to see how his mind works.
What was Reagan thinking giving this guy chem/bio weapons in the first place. What a terrible black mark on a president I would otherwise consider to be good.

Kill him, don't kill him... it's not my place to decide as he didn't do shit to me, personally.
He gassed the Kurds (isn't their motto something like "The Kurds have no friends"?), that's enough for me to step aside and say "do what thou wilt" (thou being the Iraqis, the Kurds, the UN/SA, whoever).

Which bio chem weapons did the US give him? I know the anthrax cultures he received were from the US. Are cultures weapons? Alex123 doesn't think so.
Which chemical weapons did the US give him? Exactly zero. The US gave him no VX, no Sarin, no mustard gas, no tear gas.... nothing. Zip. Nada.

I think we gave him botulinum, anthrax (not sure if it was the "happy engineered" strain or not), and something else.
Saying such bacterial cultures aren't weapons is like saying the precursors to VX gas aren't weapons. It's technically true... but I think we're talking about potentials here, aren't we?

http://csf.colorado.edu/mail/psn/mar98/0002.html
"Britain's Channel Four television news said it found intelligence documents >which showed 14 shipments of biological materials -- including 19 batches of >anthrax bacteria and 15 batches of botulinum, the organism that causes >botulism -- were exported from the U.S. to Iraq between 1985 and 1989. "
Another interesting article http://rwor.org/a/v24/1161-1170/1165/us-iraq.htm talks about the US playing the two sides off eachother to weaken both countries. The US worked with Iraq more but it sounds like we realized that Saddam was no great guy either and tried to weaken both countries. Trying to play both sides always leads to trouble. "In fact, according to the Times (1/12/87), "American intelligence agencies provided Iran and Iraq with deliberately distorted or inaccurate intelligence data in recent years." The motive, captured in the Times headline: "Keeping Either Side From Winning.""
It is a mad, mad world.

Can't have it both ways.
The thing is, both anthrax and botulinum cultures are available from multiple sources. As it happens, the base cultures for his manufacturing program came from the US, but they could as easily have come from any university with a medical program anywhere in the world. Hell, in some cases they could have come from any of hundreds of veterinary supply houses.
As for the "precursor" argument...
Some of the precursors are things like chlorine and sulphuric acid. Others are commonly used for pesticides and other "dual use" functions. To blame the US (or any other country) for selling common chemicals which were later combined into VX and Sarin is ludicrous.
The simple fact is that the US sold him no bio weapons, no chem weapons, and precious few conventional weapons.

iraq will never try saddam. because there is no iraq, just US occupied territory inhabited by a mileiu of ethnic iraquis. no governing body at all that isn't completely american supporting in its intent (and content). an iraqui trial would not happen for years and bush aint gonna wait that long for his "great justice", he will take off evry zig now that someone set up us the bomb. how are you gentlemen..... all your base are belong to us

I'd have to agree. I heard about his fucked-up childhood too, but lots of people who have even more fucked-up childhoods don't grow up to be mass murderers.
He looks very pathetic in his present state, which evokes sympathy up until the moment you consider who he is and what he's done.
I'm not a big fan of the death penalty. I'm not categorically against it, but it's used far too often in the United States where are lot of people who were executed were later exonerated or just barely escaped with their lives after being exonerated on Death Row.
In cases of absolute proof-positive guilt of crimes against humanity, however, I think it's a fitting punishment. For a person to kill thousands, tens of thousands, etc. and be allowed to survive seems a bit over the top in terms of trying to seem "civilized", especially when the "morality" of the Western world is all cosmetic anyway. Sometimes you need some good Old School retribution.
That said, letting dictators grow old, pathetic, and decrepit in prison might actually do more to rob them of their aura and mystique. I'm sure Hitler would have seemed less mythical if he had just farted away the remainder of his days in some penitentiary.
Still, though, the memory of the victims and their families cannot have closure until the man is dead.

Not quite. When you have an active missile program and the capability to put them into warheads, as Saddam did in the 80's when the US were supplying him, they can obviously be used as weapons.

No, I think that the world will still be somewhat shitty. It might give the other Middle Eastern dictators something to ponder tho...
Do you think that the world is better off, or worse off, with the message being sent that mass executions, genocide, starving your own people and allowing your sons to run amock with unrestrained brutality results in a form of punishment?
Let me ask this, what other POSSIBLE thing could we do with Saddam? Jailtime? Rehabilitation? hah
I think that turning him over to the people of Iraq is the best thing. Perhaps if he could make with the location of some WMD's, or some info about terrorism, we could 'stage' his execution and place him in a prison where he would have some amenities for the rest of his life. The next option, if he refused that, would be to turn him over to the Kurds for 'questioning'. Or Israel. Lots of options for dealing with him, really. All end up with him being severely punished.

Ok, now for my reply. I never said that you DID say anything flattering about Saddam. The vast majority of America wants Saddam dead, as I'm sure do his own people (the Kurds and the religious majority in the nation that he oppressed/gassed). You seem to have not even really addressed the point of this discussion, which is the sentance to be given to former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. You took another cheap shot at your little puppet-enemy, Bush. I'm sure that you are intelligent enough to realize that saddam is a gigantic shitball arab coward dictator terrorist and I said nothing to show or even offer the opinion that you were pro-saddam. I'm really not sure why you even replied to me... I re-read the entire conversation and it is quite obvious to me that my statements were showing how idiotic it seems to be against executing such a horrible person. I never said anything about your character analysys of Saddam Hussein. Where in the hell did you get that I thought you were flattering him? Are you shroomin'? - Stewie, from the Family Guy

I'm not right - wing, but I'm sure from where you stand, I am somewhat right-wingish. So, how does my opinion not matter? Bush is president. Afghanistan is ours, Iraq is ours, Saddam is in custody. This isn't indicative of my opinion "not mattering", it seems more that my dreams are slowly coming true. As for me 'making shit up', why don't you use that phrase to describe the comment of me saying you were 'flattering' saddam? thats right, I never ever even ALLUDED to the possibility that you were pro-Saddam, you, the collective 'you' of liberals, are just too cowardly to do what is necessary to bring an end to this type of tyranny. What sort of sentance would you have imposed in Nuremburg? More group hugs? A craft fair for the leaders of the genocide campaign? Maybe some "Rehabilitation" for them? Methinks not.

See, this is the kind of bullshit I'm talking about. Just cuz I don't like Bush doesn't mean I have any kind of sympathy for Saddam, or that I'd like to be lenient on him. I've said before that I'd love nothing better than to have him locked away for life in a cell with a bunch of angry, muscular Kurds giving him daily anal rapings.

Do you think that the world is better off, or worse off, with the message being sent that mass executions, genocide, starving your own people and allowing your sons to run amock with unrestrained brutality results in a form of punishment?
When did human rights in Iraq attain such an importance in your world view? Were you as concerned about Iraqi's being tortured in 1995? Or is it just since Bush decided to make an issue of it that it became important to you? Are you as concerned about torture anywhere else in the world? Have you joined Amnesty International?
Let me ask this, what other POSSIBLE thing could we do with Saddam?
What does it matter? Why not concentrate on solving the Israel-Palestine issue instead? Why has the fate of a 66 year old dictator assumed such a prominent position in your mind?
All end up with him being severely punished.
What exactly will this accomplish? Will it make the middle east a more peaceful place?

That is what this thread is about, It says so right in the title.

-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

It would be more constructive in our search for the truth. Plus you wouldn't seem like such a pretentious prick.
Watch your tongue son. I didn't catch this until now.
Surely you can convey your thoughts without resorting to name calling.
This forum has rules. I suggest you follow them.

This ain't the House of Commons, father, it's a drugs website.
Rono and/or pinksharkmark aren't going to ban me for saying you seem like a pretentious prick.
Rono and/or pinksharkmark know that if I say you seem like something, it must mean I'm not yet convinced you are. In not-so-many-words, I said I am not yet convinced that you are a pretentious prick.
As for rules, the forum is declared to be for the discussion of political ideas. I suggest you suggest one instead of whatever it is your doing instead.

My advice is don't play little Bart Simpson word games in the hopes of skirting the rules. It's close enough to a rules violation to warrant a comment.
The idea is to comment on the ideas the poster expresses, not on what you perceive to be character flaws of the poster himself. If you address the message rather than the messenger you'll be on safe ground.
Besides, you normally won't be banned without a warning first. To make this clear, I do not consider this post to be a warning... think of it as some friendly advice.

Enema.. you are funny. Going on a rant with no provocation would make anyone think that you were reacting to something you read here in this thread, it's the old cause and effect thing.. you know, logic, so you understand that ranting at "libbies" might make people think that you were putting words in other poster's mouths, which is what silversoul thought (I did too). Remember that words have meaning.

Evolving: Perhaps it is time for your to re-examine the premises upon which your fantasy world is built. you are either too blind, too ignorant or too self-deluded to see it. I see you are still unable to grasp the concept. It's a pity that your are so cognitively challenged. Good little drone. Try to think rationally dodges, equivocations, and justifications based on abstractions that only exist in your mind. Mr Mushrooms: Don't get him going E. This guy likes to hear himself type. I see you have him stunned into silence. That is always a sign of victory.

Those were directed at me, not carbonhoots. Evolving's flames were much worse than that. No biggie.

Sorry for the confusion Echo! For the record I've put down a few of the flames Evolving made too (all from just the ONE thread). I can't recall the public warning that was given in the face of such blatant flaming and flouting of the rules. I'm sure it must have been very severe indeed.

That has no matter to the master thread de-railer! People start a thread to ask a question, and Alex shouts his hatred of bush, or brings up other bad things in the world.
So Alex, how about you answer a direct question, without insulting bush,
WHAT

YOU
THINK

HAPPEN
TO
SADDAM
HUSSEIN?

enima replied... Every decent, moral person in the world wants Saddam fucking dead. This is a prime example of liberal cowardism. A guy kills 3 kids and fucks their dead bodies? no wahh wahh don't execute him. A guy executes hundreds of thousands, and you STILL don't want execution? How about a big hug between Bush, Saddam and Blair, and life in Barneyland can go on super happy forever!?
