Name one Liberal who said they want Saddam back
Ann Coulter says this all the time.

"Those Liberals would be happier with Saddam back in power."

Name one.

BTW, I'm not sure about Liberals wanting it, but I do know that Rummy the Dummy once offered Saddam freedom if he promised to help stop the Insurgency.

1. She probably logs onto the DU and says it herself so she can write
about it.

5. Yeah but the difference is that our loons are stuck posting at DU
or running blogs.

Republican Loons like Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh are at the mainstream of their party.

I would be happier if Saddam were still in power and the U.S. had never invaded Iraq. Iraq was far better off under Saddam's leadership than it is today or is likely to be for the next decade or so, IMO.

7. I also liked it better when Afghanistan was the Soviets "problem"
Edited on Tue Nov-29-05 10:02 AM by NNN0LHI
Boy did we ever screw that one up. The Soviets had most of that country half way civilized. It was no country club by no means but the Afghan people at least had basics like food, water, medical care, and schools. Now the Afghans are living under the tyranny of fanatical drug running war lords.

9. A local radio talk show host here in MD was discussing last week
how the new Iraqi government is just as brutal, if not more so, as Saddam's government. And the host is a repub-leaning centrist, too. I found that quite interesting.

4. She Means Liberal Iraquis
Its liberals in Iraq who want Sadam back, not liberals in the USA.

8. Imus is a liberal? - And quoting Imus means you agree? Or that agreement
was not "tongue in cheek"?

MindPilot says It's about the best idea anyone has come up with so far -US is just like the bully who breaks my science fair project then--brimming with fake remorse--hands the pieces back to me.

deminks notes that He also said that there is nothing in Iraq to win.
He asked why do people want to stay the course to win the war. Win what? There is nothing there to win. knew hell was cold this morning, because I agreed with Ipig on something. Even if it was for the oil, the oil has already been divided up, so why are we still there?

berner59 I saw this also this morning...Did a double take for sure...pretty bold for Imus - I'm never sure which side of the fence he sits on. He was a Kerry supporter but he loves McCain too...

You -tx_dem41 - said Imus is an idiot, and proves it with this statement. n/t I AGREE - BUT PERHAPS NEITHER OF US HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR?! :-)

FreedomAngel82 said Oh I'm sure that'll go well with folks like O'Reilly. *snort*

HypnoToad said Maybe he should have said that in 2003...
Save us all the trouble in the first place. Except we'd still have the blood feud to consider; how many people remember the petty arguments between Saddam and poppy?

Orrex said Now that's what I call thinking ahead! I mean we can attack again in 10 years, and we'll have a decade worth of "containment strategy" to fund and maintain. And think of all the Iraqi children we can starve in the meantime, not to mention all the WMD we can plant. Heck, we'll even be able to pretend that depleted uranium isn't a problem until 2015. Sounds like a great idea!

Catchawave said He's been questioning the war for quite some time
as well as deflecting those RW "stay to course" talking points. I do remember him saying once "send Saddam back, he'll take care of the insurgency problems!" I catch bits and pieces of his show, but noticed he had the Beach Boys on this morning...thank goodness that annoying impersonator was in Dr. Phil mode and not his cruel "Brian Wilson" drooling into the mike.

============================================================

Other than your post I do not read any of the other posts as not tongue in cheek.

Our left wing nuts do not post on DU as far as I can tell!

:-)

10. I'm sorry to burst your bubble and I know it's so not pc, but I'm one of
those liberals who really believes that the war was illegal, it was wrong, that since the reason we went there proved to be a lie, Saddam should still be the president.

Sorry. I have to be consistent and not hypocritical. We are killing far more than Saddam ever did.

Go ahead and flame away. But I have read books about Iraq. I am not as ignorant about Iraq as most americans. Saddam was a secular socialist. They made health care and education a priority.

Sure Saddam was a "bad" guy. But so is Bush. We demonized the hell out of Saddam. We sanctioned the hell out of the place.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't say the war was wrong but still support what we did. It's hypocritical.

Flame away.

11. Not too many flames your way, Sir
If we just didn't have to put the statues back up this would be so much easier. I am afraid that may be the deal breaker.

12. Bill Maher

Talks about it all the time, but he says it tongue-in-cheek. It's a really funny rant, if I can find the whole thing. "Sometimes a country just needs a daddy. Okay, okay, an abusive father. Hannibal Lecter. The point is..."
