800+ lives so Shrub could get his war trophy
Bush Keeps Saddam's Pistol As Trophy

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=544&e=1&u=/ap/bush_saddam_s_gun

WASHINGTON - President Bush keeps in his White House offices a trophy of one his high points in the Iraq war, the pistol that Saddam Hussein held when soldiers pulled him from his underground hideaway.

Military specialists mounted the sidearm, and soldiers who helped in the deposed Iraqi president's capture presented it to the president, the White House said Sunday. The president keeps the gun in a small study adjoining the Oval Office

1. It will be the primary display in his presiduncial library
Edited on Sun May-30-04 04:15 PM by Marianne
which will have no books in it because the dunce never read a single one, but he and his propaganda shills, who get paid a very very good salary, will see to it that this pistol will be surrounded by costumes the stupid president,chronological, age eight, wore during his stolen presuduncy.\

Do you think he proudly shows this off to Laura on a regular basis as if he personally went to Iraq, murdered thousands of innocents, hunted down Saddam while in great danger, and personally went into that pit , grabbed Saddam by the collar and forced him out into the light,

and she smiles that rictus smile at him and swoons : "Gee Mr. Murgatroyd, you are wonderful".

As does everyone else he proudly displays this trophy to because they have no other choice.

3. It belongs to the people of Iraq
An honest man would hand it back, a smart and honest man would ceremoniously hand it back for good PR. My bet, bush keeps it.

12. This is why the soldiers took pictures of the prisoners.
They were just following the leader and getting their very own trophies.

sick bastard.

16. Well, Shrubby will want it January 20, 2005
When the Kerrys move into the White House, and Stupidhead tries one last desperate act to hang onto his ill-gotten stolen position. I advise President Kerry to send in a contingent of cranky Marines ahead of him to root out Stupidhead.
