Bush has Saddam's pistol: report
From correspondents in Washington
May 30, 2004

US President George W Bush has been given a pistol Saddam Hussein had with him when he was captured and now proudly shows it to selected guests, Time magazine reported today.

The gun was taken from Saddam by US special forces when they caught the ousted president in a spider hole near his home town Tikrit last December, the report said.

The military had the pistol mounted, and it was presented to the president privately by some of the troops who ferreted out Saddam, Time said, citing unnamed sources.

...

"He really liked showing it off," the report quotes an unnamed recent visitor to the White House as saying. "He was really proud of it."

1. This is the mentality of an AWOL lying chicken that couldn't fly

[Mika]

2. Question is - Who has Bush's brain?

:shrug:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

9. Oddly enough,

Dom Deluise ate it.

[warrior1]

3. why

not just put his head on your wall and be done with it.

Oh, and the gun isn't a WMD.

[Deja Q]

7. Precisely.

I don't recall where, but I said something the same thing (in my usual dreary, overly flamboyant yet sardonic style) about * putting up Saddam's stuffed head... Great minds think alike! :D

[metisnation]

4. that was worth 800+ combat deaths and 4000+ wounded

Bush is a total fucking asshole.

[Wind Dancer]

5. Ahhh, the never ending arrogance!

This man has no class or dignity.

14. OMG

8. Frat Boy

Frat Boy George finally got his souveneer, something he can show his equally shallow buds. Now can we end the war and go home, George?

Oh, and Goerge? It's against the law to own an unregistered handgun in Washington, DC.

10. If Saddam whould have been a real bastard ....

he would have used no pistol but a bretzel ...

[MikeG]

11. It's got to be some kind of phallic envy thing.

19. "[it's] safe to touch"

so bu$h* sez....

LOL....

12. Gawd almighty

Somehow I've got to send this to Harry Shearer and hope he will do a parody with #43 showing the gun off to #41 on Le Show.

[Mandate My Ass]

13. What a little sissy boy

He was a sissy as a kid and he's a sissy and a dry drunk at 55. Only a gutless sissy would carry another man's gun and show it off like it meant something when he didn't take it off the man himself.

[kevinhnc]

15. This is just like

Rumsfeld has a piece of one of the 9/11 airplanes on his desk, and he proudly shows that off to visitors.

These people are absolutely ghoulish!

[snippy]

16. So Bush disarmed Saddam and got a trophy. How cute.

BUSH ALSO DISARMED THIS IRAQI

[teryang]

17. He used to fly around in Bobby Seal's drug jet

...it's the old politician's game, f..k your buddy, and steal his stuff.

[benburch]

18. War Spoils

THIS IS DISGUSTING.

What next? Osama's head?

[skooooo]

20. It's his trophy...

...He never got anything by doing it himself. Why should be be surprised?

[Algorem]

21. Sure will be ironic if he ends up using it to ---- --- ####### ------ ---.

[JohnnyRingo]

24. "Pull an Adolph"

[neomonkey]

22. The depths of this man's cowardice knows no bounds

He dares to show off a gun he has no business claiming as his own?

Makes me wonder how many times *W had Jeb sack a woman and bring back the panty evidence for him to show off...

[sushi]
