Bush May Put Saddam's Gun In His Presidential Library

New York Times:

Many American presidents have kept prized possessions within reach during their White House years. Franklin D. Roosevelt cherished a 19th century ship model of the U.S.S. Constitution. One of Dwight D. Eisenhower's favorite gifts was an engraved Steuben glass bowl from his cabinet. And sitting on John F. Kennedy's desk in the Oval Office was a paperweight made from a coconut shell he had carved with a distress message after his PT-109 was sunk during World War II.

These historic hard drives would make a fine exhibit, don't you think, Mr. Bush?

It is illegal to take war trophies. Ask any soldier. Americans smuggled German weapons home after WWII but they weren't supposed to. So can we put GW in jail? He admits he has it.

The guy has the maturity of a child. This is all a game to him, and one great business opportunity for the oilygarchy. Heaven forbid he finds a book to put in his library.

"My Pet Goat". I hear someone from the kindergarden class took the book and gave it to him as a present. It's not one of he favorite gifts because he has to always ask for help with the words.

True. As I recall, he seemed to have trouble following along for all those minutes after being informed about the terrorist strike in September of 2001.

Serial killers do take trophies

[OliverTwist]

Exactly.

Let's make sure the Dick Cheney doesn't get his hands on it!

[DubyaGump]

Ah the Trophies of war, I'm surprised he didn't want S addams head mounted on the wall of his new liberry.

[SurrealPumpkin]

It's going in Cheney's trophy room.

[ywcachieve]

Don't give that twisted man any ideas.

[OMG1109]

Maybe he could put on display a note about the "WMD's" that were never found in Iraq! Or maybe he can get the Pentagon to send him some from the USA supply and claim, they came from Iraq, that is one of the key reasons we went to war, right!

[IWantTofu]

I was checking the blueprints for the library and couldn't find the WMD section.

[breakingpoint]

Think that's call theft, he should give it back to the Iraqi people.

Same with all the stuff taken by Americans after they marched inro Baghdad and auctioned it up on e-bay

[ywcachieve]

Yep, it's theft. The Bush Gang pillaged Iraq.

[furey]

Thank you for "keeping us safe", Mr. Bush.

Ah too bad. I was hoping he'd put it in another place

One of these September 11 clocks would make a fine exhibit:

Will 480,000 tombstones fit on the lawn at the new library?

[gascelebrations]

How Freudian.

[mapleaforever]

Only if he polishes it.

[UncleJimbo]

A Gun in a Library just about sums George W. Bush up,doesn't it folks?

[MaybeMilo]

Beautiful.
