If I had a gallows
I’d hang ‘em in the morning
I’d hang ‘em in the evening
All over Iraq
I’d hang all the traitors
I’d hang all the Jews
I’d whip up the hate between the Sunnis and the Shiites
All over Iraq.

If I had a shredder
I’d shred ‘em in the morning
I’d shred ‘em in the evening
All over Iraq
I’d shred the Kurds
I’d shred the Persians
I’d make my psycho sons press the little shredder button
All over Iraq

If I were a Baathist
I’d throw you off a building
I’d rape your wife and daughter
In front of your face
I’d beat you senseless
Hang you from a ceiling fan
What the hell you think you gonna do about it
In Saddam’s Iraq?

Well I’ve got a gallows
And I’ve got a shredder
And the Baathists rule
All over Iraq
It’s the gallows of Saddam
It’s the shredder of Uday
It’s the Baathist party who will kill you if you cross us
All over Iraq

(Reminds me of that old joke about the proud mother watching the soldiers marching down the street. Her son is among them and the only one out of step. Her comment: “Oh look, everyone’s out of step but Johnney.”)

Nonetheless I have enjoyed “chatting” with you and wish you and yours a joyous and prosperous new year.

Oh, give me a home, where the Saddams don’t roam,
Where the Sunni and Shia can play,
Where seldom is heard,
a terrorist word,
and the Kurds are happy all day.

Home, home in the sand,
where the Sunni and Shia can play,
Where Saddam don’t roam,
And our guys can come home,
and John Kerry will go home and stay.

showed that Mr. Hussein was also a unifying force whose painful grip held together Iraq’s many ethnicities and sects.

Yes, they are all held together in the same mass graves. Or held together against the terror squads. Or held together in their hatred (and fear) of a ruthless dictator.

I can just see the tears running down the face of the ‘columnist’ as he pounded this tripe out on his word processor.

showed that Mr. Hussein was also a unifying force whose painful grip held together Iraq’s many ethnicities and sects.

Uh, I’m sorry, cokehead, but you aren’t a ‘unifying force’ if the only thing your people have in common is their fear of death at your hands.

Come to think of it I cannot imagine John Kerry quietly dying on the end of a rope. The begging and pleading and screaming would be heard all the way to Boston and there would be more bribes offered than even the Corleone Family could afford. “Take my wife, please.”

As Gateway Pundit says, this is a unique moment through which to view the full insanity (not figuratively speaking) of the Left. It’s an educational moment for any American who hasn’t figured out what the Left really is. Let the Left mourn and praise Saddam Hussein in full view of the world

Ditto. CNN has apparently realized how lauding Saddam makes their team look bad, and has been putting more and more emphasis on James Brown.

But luckily for sane persons, the Print Left will spend another day or two weeping & gnashing over Saddam

Dust in the Wind. All he was was dust in the Wind.

Same old song, just an aging tyrant in an endless sea
All he did…crumbled to the ground though Donks refused to see…

Dust in the Wind. All he was was dust in the wind

Oh, ho, ho

Now,
Don’t hang on – nothing lasts forever, except the leftist’s cry…
It slips away… and all your money won’t another minute buy

Dust in the wind. All he was was dust in the wind…
Dust in the wind. Saddam Hussein’s dust in the wind…
The wind…

Shortly afterwards, he convened an assembly of Ba’ath party leaders on July 22, 1979. During the assembly, which he ordered videotaped, Saddam claimed to have found spies and conspirators within the Ba’ath Party and read out the names of 68 members who he thought could oppose him. These members were labeled “disloyal” and were removed from the room one by one and taken into custody. After the list was read, Saddam congratulated those still seated in the room for their past and future loyalty. The 68 people arrested at the meeting were subsequently put on trial, and 22 were sentenced to execution for treason.

Yet, it’s all Bush’s fault somehow….

[fogw] Note the NY Times article referred to that friggin butcher as “Mr. Hussein” …. so many times I stopped counting and started puking.

Yeah… I bet if he’d earned his Ph.D they’d be calling him “Dr. Hussein – Dr. Hussein did this, Dr. Hussein did that, then they put the noose around Dr. Hussein and dropped him like a common criminal…”

Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pens
and hold your eyes wide, the chance won’t come again
He stood with the liberals and the ol’ MSM
And there’s no tellin’ who might be singin’
If the evil George Bush hadn’t stolen command
for Saddam, he is a swingin’

Come Senators, Congressmen please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway, don’t block up the hall
Madam Pelosi please hasten the fall
of the Chimpler whose power is clingin’
Please beware the neocon PNAC cabal
for Saddam, he is a swingin’

Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
and don’t criticize what you can’t understand
your sons and your daughters go to fight for your land
they’ve been duped by Republican blingin’
The end of the Shrubler will soon be at hand
for Saddam he is a swingin’

The line it is drawn, the curse it is case
The slow one now will later be fast
as the present now will later be past
the Liberty Bell it is ringin’
For the the Kurds and the Shiites, and the dissidents all
for Saddam, he is a swingin.

That I could feel pity for him struck the Iraqis with whom I talked as evidence of a profound moral corruption. I came to understand how a Westerner used to the civilities of democracy and due process — even a reporter who thought he grasped the depths of Saddam’s depravity — fell short of the Iraqis’ sense, forged by years of brutality, of the power of his unmitigated evil.

It’s not just Iraqis who feel that way. What a perfect way to describe the state of the MSM – “profound moral corruption.”
