“I really regret bringing down the statue,
not this one:



but this one:



“I really regret bringing down the statue,”

statuesaid Kadhim al-Jubouri, an Iraqi weightlifter who was enlisted to help bring down the statute in 2003. “The Americans are worse than the dictatorship. Every day is worse than the previous day.” He added that he would prefer to be living under Saddam than under U.S. occupation: “The devil you know better than the devil you don’t. We no longer know friend from foe. The situation is becoming more dangerous. It’s not getting better at all. People are poor and the prices are going higher and higher.”

1. Iraq
Yes Saddam was a bad dictator, yes he killed off some of his people, desenters, all evil
dictators do that, but we didnt have 'terrorism' coming from Iraq, we didnt have insurgents,
we didnt have 3200 brave US Soldiers killed, we didnt have $400 billion lost to Iraq, we didnt
have false WMD sightings, we didnt have IED's, we didnt have ignorant flag waving right wingers.............Saddam was evil, but at least we had him contained.


OH MEOW
