What has the mainstream media to say about this picture?


Anyone have references from the past couple of years to explanations/spins/truths/slams from the mainstream media about Rumsfeld's meeting with Saddam?

2. To add to this
So if they make the claim that it's from long ago when he was a friend, did they give any justification why USA was friends with Saddam in the first place?

5. This is what I think the propaganda line would be:
We were fighting the communists. Sometimes you have to do things you don't really want to do, and that includes teaming up with bad people.

Ok, that's enough bullshit for one day. Excuse me now as I go puke. :puke:
