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.

It was premeditated murder. In 1999, Bush disclosed to his then biographer that, as President, he would further the ends of committing the crime of launching a "successful" war against Iraq. The tapes were taken by Bush's handlers and supposedly destroyed. Also in 1999, at a six-way New Hampshire primary, he disclosed to a small room of veteran political reporters that he would take Saddam out over Saddam's weaponry. No bones about it. Why have those reporters not come forward. Why do Bush's handlers not own up to the destruction of the only tape known of his admitting the premeditation of the illegal invasion, and how on earth hasn't this fact been a story worthy of being further bitten into? WTF!?!

oh goodie! right next to the "mission accomplished" banner and cheneys shotgun i suppose?

[VS007]

from one fascist to another

hat gun cost trillions of dollars and 5000 american soldiers blood shed and 14,000 maimed hundreds of thousands of iraqis killed. And billions for haliburton and war profiteers.

[Moxo]

Will there be a little card in front of the gun saying how many Americans died and how much national treasure was spent to obtain it?

[Mikeeee]

This is sick and is GW to a T. I thought maybe dalmer was at the bottom of the gene pool, apparently I was wrong.

[mapleaforever]

At least Dahmer cleared his plate. It's a sin to leave "food", when so many are starving.

people do not realize how much personal vendetta bush had against Saddam. He was really pissed about Saddam's plot against his father on a trip to Kuwait. His father was accompanied by his wife and mother. Combined with neocons who surrounded him and we had a iraq disaster.
Pistol has cost every american at least $20,000.

Thats the reason i always thought bush wanted to get saddam. It was personal. I mean how can you explain 9/11 was Osama. Osama was in afghan..bu­t we went to iraqi. Never made sense.

[Harry Tuttle]

Sick man. And I don't mean Saddam.

[BambooHarvester]

Wilburrr..­. There's more substantive value in Michael Jackson's Never Land Ranch
~ then the bush "library " will ever have !

[PeaceIsMyName]

Disturbing.

[AsianAfricanAMERICAN]

As if....Bush personally took that gun from Saddam...!


That Cowboy Bush is one tough guy to send in the Marines to take Saddam's guns. No timidity or weakness from our ex prez.


rollseyes

[tuvum]

it only cost a few thousand american lives!

[petman2001]

Of course he will: it's the only "weapon of mass destruction" he found in Iraq.

Fantasy history in the making.
