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.

i've got another suggestion for where Bush can put Saddam's gun .........

[macohmz]

He can choke on that gun like he did on that pretzel.

[hackerblaster]

Great idea! Have a memento from the war you shouldn't have started.

When the SF troops found the weapon it became US government property, didn't it? Saddam was not just some PFC. As such it should have been turned in, shouldn't it? It did not belong to those SF types and when handed to w it did not become his property, did it? Should it not be in an official US government museum?

[mapleaforever]

Confiscated from an Iraqi citizen during the execution of an illegal invasion of a soverign nation. No, it belongs to Iraq and it's people.

[earlygrayce1]

Since America probably gave the gun to Saddam when we propped him up into power years ago, it seems right it is coming back to the this country.

It's everything that occurred between then and now that is what is completely F'd up.

[SmootyBooty]

just stay in OK, w...

[USA2Sense]

I know where GWB should put the gun and keep it - and it's not in the library.......

[Faraja]

We miss you W! Can you come back and rescue us? Unemployment rate is 9.6 and still counting! After attacking you for 8 years, now they are saying: "We Misread How Bad The Economy Was."

Long Live W!

[AsianAfricanAMERICAN]

Thank Gawd you don't matter anymore...

[1differentdrummer]

Where have you been? Saying we misread how bad the economy was is saying we misread how really badly w and the Rs messed it up. Now, is that what you want to say? No one knew where this thing was going and some of us have called this the Republican-Bush recesssion/depression for some time. Thanks to w and the R party we are in a real hole.

The Cheney/Bush cabal kept the real cost of the invasion of Iraq out of the budget. Once the TRUE figures were revealed, then the true costs was out in the open. Plus the big bailout that Bush/Paulson gave away, with no oversight, was added on. The last mis-administration is largely responsible for the mess they left behind. This "lieberry" of Georgie's is a joke.

The Bush Library - Library to contain the following. A few ballots from Florida showing hanging chads - Megaphone he spoke into the ear of a NY fireman with bursting his eardrum - Banner that said Mission Accomplished and the suit he wore in front of it - A moldy piece of wall from New Orleans post Katrina - A room full of simulated cash showing the profits he and Cheney made from the War in Iraq.

[SamKnause]

If the republicans get there way, history will be rewritten. Bush will come out smelling like roses. We must never let our country forget the devastation this man and his administration caused. They toppled America, and she will never recover.

[viriatus]

And let's not forget what a bargain the gun was. $ 1 Trillion spent, 4300+ US service people killed, 30,000 plus wounded. And then there will be the book collection, which will have one title; "My pet goat" the book he was reading on 9/11.

[wadenelson1]

You missed one -- a copy of "The Pet Goat".

[mergina]

bravo. how could i forget THAT one teehee.

[mi]

Library for Fools.

[jerichoj8]

how phallic is that? Bush love's Saddam's gun. Nothing like the smell of tyrant crotch and gun oil in the morning.

Bush's Lewinsky.

[gorgol]

LOL...excellent!!!!

[Cunningham]

I hope the handcuffs used to arrest Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove, et al will be on display in a president's future library.

"I got him for you daddy."
I think that was the purpose of us invading and occupying Iraq . daddy could not get him so his son goes back and finished the job. If another Bush ever becomes pres. again, I will leave our great USA.

[homerun]

43 to 41,
"I got him for you daddy."
I think that was the purpose of us invading and occupying Iraq . daddy could not kill him so his son goes back an finish the job. If a Bush ever becomes pres. again, I will leave or great USA.

[WhatDaBleep]

He should use it on himself!

Also, it is against the law for him to keep the gun.

[AsianAfricanAMERICAN]

So Bush is confiscating teh guns, huh...?


Where's the NRA outrage...?

[mapleaforever]

They don't care how you get em, they just want you to bear em and use em.
