And the difference between President Bush and President Hussein is...
On July 8, 1982 forces under the command of President Saddam Hussein of Iraq massacred approximately 150 villagers in the town of Dujail in retaliation for a failed assassination attempt against the former leader.

On Nov. 8 2004, US forces under the command of President Bush unleashed an all-out offensive to seize Fallujah, with US Marine tanks advancing on the city’s heart following massive strikes by artillery and warplanes. Local doctors have been widely quoted as saying the massacre killed at least 600 people. The Iraqi Health Minister, Khodair Abbas, said on Thursday that 271 people died and local doctors had been pressured to give inflated figures.

One president is on trial for war crimes.

4. Hussein "gassed his own people," Bush starved & drowned his?
I will NEVER get over the way he so unconscionably let Americans die in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. It COULD have been so great! We all could have been part of the greatest rescue effort ever in the history of the U.S., either as active participants with boats/planes/vans,etc., or as spectators following and cheering every rescue on TV--but instead our help was turned away and thousands died needlessly, and the whole world saw it.

The only other difference between * and Hussein is that the "rape rooms" and "torture chambers" of Iraq have reopened under a new set of managers.

5. Love how the m$m take 143 and "round up" to 150.
Wish I could round 3s up to the nearest 10 with my paycheque. :D

Anyhoo back to the OP;

Fallujah twice; Basra twice, Ramadi still ongoing, Mosul...

The 143 broke Iraq's law -the civilians in Basra, Mosul, Fallujah, Ramadi et al didn't do a damn thing but get slaughtered by invaders- and knew the consequences; the 143 had trials -which is a damn sight more than the civilians in Fallujah, Mosul, Basra, Ramadi et al got.

But the president that isn't on trial for his war crimes is president of a country that no longer stands for any integrity or morality whatsoever.

9. Saddam speaks better English and is a more compassionate conservative.
And, has probably read books that aren't about Jesus or goats.

14. The difference?
Saddam Hussein didn't send his troops half way around the world to illegally invade another country.

15. Saddam fills his underwear and shrub uses socks in his flight suit.
It is LOW, it is tacky and it is true as was demonstrated in that photo of Saddam in his undies...

Saddam is swinging a set and dubya has to borrow one.

17. One has a truck and the other ones Fked.
One orders torture and the other one ordered torture.

One killed thousands and the other did too.

One invaded a country and so did the other.

Ones in jail and the other is eating caviar .

There is no difference other than the perception media created.
