How long before Republicans join forces with Osama Bin Laden?

It's bound to happen. It's in their blood. The enemy of their enemy always, eventually, becomes their friend. And for Republicans, the more dangerous, the better!

Just look at Saddam Hussein. Sure he's "One of the greatest threats to America" now. But it wasn't that long ago when the very people running our government, our republican government, who claim to despise him so much, had no problem making deals with him:


And then there's Colonel Muammar Qaddafi "a man President Reagan dubbed “the mad dog of the Middle East”—a regime that, throughout the nineteen-eighties, sponsored such groups as the I.R.A., the Abu Nidal Organization, and the Basque ETA, and was blamed for the explosion that, in 1988, downed Pan Am Flight 103, over Lockerbie, Scotland—is now an acknowledged ally in America’s war on terror."

Qaddafi is now in bed with the U.S.? The Mad Dog of the Middle East? Who would stand for this?

Republican Congressman Curt Weldon would. Here he is placing a medal on Muammar Qaddafi.


Republicans like nothing better than playing musical chairs with some of the more dangerous individuals of the Middle East. It make be a year from now, or a decade but if Osama says the magic word, republican leaders will come running. Not for his head, though. But a handshake. Hey, they might even give him a medal!
