Did anyone hear Sen. John Sununu this morning on NPR?

[Coventina]

I missed the first part of the interview with Bob Edwards, but my boyfriend tells me that Senator Sununu said that Iraq has a history of aggression, and pointed to the Iran/Iraq war as an example.

:wtf:

We ENCOURAGED and AIDED Iraq in that war!
Did any of you hear this?

3. I haven't yelled at the TV or Radio since the Reagan Era...

But I've started doing it again recently. Interviews like the one this morning are why.

4. I missed it

but sadly, he's my senator. *blush*

No surprise. He's never had an original thought in his political life. He's a loyal soldier, marching faithfully in Republican Party lockstep.

5. Iran was the aggressor....

and it fit the reich-winger's agenda to support Saddam against those
"damned Ayatollahs" that took out our puppet, the Shah of Iran, from
his little throne.

8. No, I believe that Iraq was the aggressor, with our blessing

Here's a history of the conflict from FAS:

Some interesting co-incidences:
In 1979, Iranian religious leaders overthrew the Shah.
In 1979, Saddam Hussein assumed leadership of Iraq, backed by the U.S.

The war started shortly afterwards.

6. Worse, he said that * didn't lie us into war because * could not

POSSIBLY be lying!

Reminding me of the pugs who went down with the Nixonian ship in Watergate.

7. Not only did the US aid Iraq in the Iran/Iraq war

at the same time the US (ronnie raygun) was selling weapons to iran to fund his little murder spree in central america.

9. Sununu is just another chickenhawk piece of shit

who grew up next door in NH and has never been anywhere or done anything productive, just like his hero chimpy.

Just another in a long line of repug congressional assholes with no character building life experiences that would qualify a person to hold office as a senator. Another daddies boy.
