"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him!" (Saddam captured.) - Page 3

JPhillips · 12-14-2003, 06:17 PM

Dutch: Thought you might like to know about this bit of America-hating negativism that was seen on EVERY NETWORK today:

"I also have a message for all Americans: The capture of Saddam Hussein does not mean the end of violence in Iraq. We still face terrorists who would rather go on killing the innocent than accept the rise of liberty in the heart of the Middle East."

Could there possibly be anything more disgusting? Here's hoping the enemy who said that gets, as JoninMiddleGA said, "destroyed".

CamEdwards · 12-14-2003, 07:13 PM

advocating the death of the President, JPhillips? That's a real class move.

sabotai · 12-14-2003, 07:16 PM

Hold on a second...I just have to tweak something....

There, Cam's sarcasm detector should be working now.

dola:

I figure if JPhillips is going to twist and distort what other people say, I can do the same. It's the American way, isn't it?

NoMyths · 12-14-2003, 07:19 PM

JPhillips, when the men in suits come to your door, yes...they really ARE from the Secret Service.

They're just so soft and fuzzy. How can I help myself.

Well, it's certainly the FOFC-way at least. (notice I haven't said anything...because I know what will happen.)

And the typical knee-jerk response would then be that all you care about is Bush not being re-elected?

I'm staying out of this too. What I said earlier is enough.

Right now, it looks like the Iraqi Governing Council believes it will try Saddam under its new War Crimes Tribunal, and it seems they will be open, televised trials. This is obvioulsy conjecture, and nobody really knows.

Anything embarrassing regarding the Bushes (and there probably is a very small amount) will be trumped by the French.... and Russians.... and Germans.....etc. Remember that Saddam did try to assassinate Bush Sr.

JPhillips · 12-15-2003, 09:25 AM

Cam: Yes I do think your sarcasm detector is set a bit too low. As to distorting I didn't have to, Bush said the quote, Dutch said words like these came from, "the CNN crowd" and later expanded on his distaste for such speakers, and Jon said there was no point in trying to convert his enemies, they should just be, "destroyed".

Now I'm not necessarily opposed to distorting, I just didn't have to in this case!

Bishop: That may be what happens, but one thing I know for certain is that the IGC has no authority to do anything we don't first approve. I'm just not convinced that a public trial is in our best interests. It will be a great thing for the Iraqi people if they can run a fair trial and show a system of justice, but I'm not sure it helps the US.

Saddam is smart and will spend the whole trial bashing the US. I don't think Bush will let the nightly newscasts lead with the latest outrages from Saddam.

Here's a link to an article where an "expert" says the capture of Saddam may lead to the strengthening of the anti-US groups in Iraq. I have no idea if he's right, but he does make an interesting point that I never considered. Now that Saddam is out of the way, those people who are anti-US that also didn't like Saddam can now join the fight without appearing to support Saddam.

It's a good thing that a brutal dictator like Saddam has been captured and will face trial and punishment for his actions. Of this, there is no question.

And that was exactly my point with regards to the CNN crowd. I have been critical of CNN for their extreme negative views on what the USA is trying to accomplish and when I heard Saddam was captured I flipped straight to CNN and there they were talking about how much this will really upset the insurgents and "what this means in costs of American lives...more or less?" I was disgusted.

Here's where things get interesting. Removing Saddam Hussein from power was one of the goals of Gulf War 2, and capturing him greatly reduces the chance he'll ever return to power in Iraq. Great job.

This doesn't end our occupation of Iraq, and as long as our soldiers are in harm's way, why is it not a legitimate question to ask how this capture affects the violence directed at them? You'd have to have an extremely distrustful and paranoid view of CNN to imply that by asking these questions, they were in some way downplaying the capture of Saddam.

No need. That's already been done to the best players in our league who aren't on my team...

So you would agree that if others were downplaying the capture of Saddam Hussein by asking these questions that they were distrustful and paranoid?

Nope. Only people that have an extremist agenda would say that it was a bad thing that Saddam was captured.

What you're reacting against is the general feeling that Americans weren't as concerned about capturing Saddam as they were reducing the danger that our troops face in occupying Iraq. I think it's a perfectly legitimate question to ask whether Saddam's catpure will have an effect on the resistance and attacks our troops in Iraq are facing. I'm not sure why asking these questions implies that capturing Saddam is not a good thing.

Seems to me your big problem with CNN is that they're not big enough cheerleaders for U.S. military action as you'd like...
