[Rhodes22-list] Politics: Hang Saddam Hussein

[Herb Parsons]

Nonsensical rhetoric Bill. 

First of all, I feel fine about it. He was tried and sentenced.

Here's what you said - "He caught them, tried them, and executed them."
Then you said "We ...  handed him over to the terrorists who originally tried to assassinate him."

Really? How did we do that? You said that he tried them and executed them. So how did we now hand him over to them?

Interesting twist you put on stuff.

You STILL haven't addressed my previous questions to you, so I'm going to assume that your intent is to spew forth your vile viewpoints, and "discuss" nothing.

So, Herb,

How do you feel about hanging Saddam Hussein?

Some Shiite terrorists tried to assassinate him in this town while Iraq 
was at war with Iran.  He caught them, tried them, and executed them.

We deposed him.  Caught him.  And handed him over to the terrorists who 
originally tried to assassinate him.

Now they have decided to execute him for "war crimes".

Is it OK?

Fortunes of war?

Don't piss us off?

Winner's rules?
