lintball: Saddam Hussein's Defense Speech: "Bush Lied and I Want My Countr

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_110705/content/rush_on_a_roll.guest.html

Saddam Hussein's Defense Speech:
"Bush Lied and I Want My Country Back."



RUSH: I've been thinking about something. Ever since Friday night, Saturday, I've been thinking about this, and I don't know where the germination of the idea came from, but wherever it came from, it's a good one. If I were Saddam Hussein, I would demand that my trial be postponed on this basis:

The honorable Senate Democrats in the United States are doing an honorable investigation to find out exactly what happened to cause me to lose my country, and until these honorable Senate Democrats in the United States get every one of their questions answered about the manipulation and the distortion of the intelligence -- and of course all of the lies about my having weapons of mass destruction; all this before my country was invaded -- I can't get a fair trial, until all these questions are answered by the Senate Democrats. And after these Senate Democrats get the answers that we all know are out there, I, Saddam Hussein, would argue that I never had any weapons of mass destruction, and whatever bad intelligence was generated by a cowboy, fratboy president and his indicted staff, who have poisoned world opinion about me and my government, and as such, I can't get a fair trial anywhere -- and I want my country back. I'm going to make this trial about George W. Bush, and I'm going to be calling as witnesses people like Dick Durbin and Ted Kennedy. I'm going to call Chuck Schumer.

I would call Senator Jay Rockefeller as a witness, if I were Saddam Hussein. I'm serious, folks -- and I wouldn't be surprised if his defense lawyers pick up on this at some point. If I were Saddam Hussein I would never, ever get off the line of attack of Senate Democrats. I would "want answers." I would accuse the lying President Bush of manufacturing evidence and spreading propaganda to a bunch of gullible reporters like Judith Miller of the New York Times and who knows who all at NBC, and say that there exists a massive conspiracy just like Hillary Clinton said; a massive right-wing conspiracy to prop up a failed presidency, and to distract the world from the damage the Bush White House has done to the world's environment, the world's workers, the world's unions, the world's teachers -- and most of all the world's children. If I were Saddam Hussein, I would be making this case, and I would say, "I'm following the lead of these great honorable Senate Democrats of the United States Senate who have the guts and the courage to have the temerity to get to the bottom of all of this." I would follow them down the path they're on.


I, Saddam Hussein, would say that the Senate Democrats are on the way to proving that President Bush has led a false war, permanently screwed up children all over the world as to how you solve problems. My country is Muslim. We are very different from western countries, and that scares stupid, evangelical cowboys like George Bush. Why, Prince Charles even had to go tell Bush, "You misunderstood Islam," the other day. I'd call Prince Charles as a witness! So what does this cowboy Bush do when his oil baron buddies can't have my oil for themselves? Well, they start a war on false pretenses because everybody knows that this war was about nothing but oil and that's why all the intelligence was trumped up, and that's why all of the lies were told and that's why everybody was told and agreed that I had weapons of mass destruction, is because the world wants my oil led by the cowboy Bush, and I thank God -- I thank Allah daily -- for the Senate Democrats, the Democrats of the United States Senate who are leading this courageous effort to prove what a liar and a disaster on the world stage George W. Bush has been. I can't get a fair trial, and until I get a fair trial -- which is not possible -- I demand my country back. All of this that has happened has been based on lies. The world can't sleep at night. If the world can do this to me, a man with nothing but benevolence and love in his heart for his people, what will they do next? Who will they do it to next? The cowboy Bush -- Cheney, Libby, Rove -- they must be stopped, and it's the Senate Democrats in that great institution, the United States Senate, who are leading the way.

1. "Stupid, evangelical cowboys."
Well, you gotta give the dictator a hand there.

Serously, though, this whole thing is WAY frigged up. Thank you, *.

2. Sabra, New Rule -
from Skinner:

1. Linking to other websites -- The rules include a new section that specifically forbids linking to bigoted websites and restricts the linking of conspiracy theory websites.

I kid, I consider your contribution here invaluable, as you know, but I couldn't resist!

4. The troubling thing here is that lintball makes a point,
Saddam probably has every right to demand his country back.

6. what rush is implying.....
....is that because the dems are going after bushco for lying to get us into the iraq war, then they must obviously be on the side of saddam hussein. it's ridiculous logic that only dipshits like freeptards and ditto-ass-monkeys would buy.

the fact of the matter is that saddam belongs in prison, along with the republican administrations that armed him in the first place. also belonging in prison is each and every member of bushco that knowingly lied to get us into the iraq war.

7. A lot of "world leaders" ought to be in jail for one thing or another.

I doubt that Saddam is the worst of them. lintball didn't mean to make that point, but he did convincingly anyway.

8. saddam was pretty bad...
that said, i don't think it was worth all the lost lives to take him down. i think it could have been done less expensively in terms of money and human life. but, when the guy in the white house is a puppet of the military industrial complex, this is the way things get done i guess.

in the future, i think any time the chickenhawks get in charge and they want to take out another despot, they should recruit and deploy only freepers, dittoheads, and religious fundies to go do the job. and they don't get to use the american flag.

5. rush, what if america is liberal democratic?
the fiction the pigmedia has created, that a working majority of usa citizens are rightwing boors who support a guy like bush and the illegal war his gov fabricated outta lies and misrepresentations is wrong, and the proof is that the rightwing must exaggerate itself while constantly downplaying the democratic support in order to appear to succeed. This has been documented repeatedly and in depth, and it is supported by common sense: why would most americans, who are a few weeks pay cheques from homelessness, support the priviledges of the few over the needs of the many, including themselves, regarding public policies and the government elected to pursue them? Simply put, Rush limbah, is that it's YOU who is the outlaw when the iraq mess is mentioned; it's YOU who speak for a small minority, made much smaller when one adds in the effects of well financed misinfo which this minority uses to justify itself, and it's YOU who has severely injured the nation and its interest, by LYING LYING LYING and by demonising what was truely representative leadership (clinton) while later supporting a government that the facts show was never even elected! Rush, you should go to jail for what you've done...julius streicher was put to death for helping in ruining the german people's understanding of what was happening in nazi era, and you've done at least as much damage, truthwise, in the bush era....
