Bush keeps Saddam's pistol as trophy (are you "effing kidding me?)
http://www.salon.com/news/wire/2004/05/30/bush_pistol/index.html

"WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush keeps in his White House offices a trophy of one his high points in the Iraq war, the pistol that Saddam Hussein held when soldiers pulled him from his underground hideaway.

Military specialists mounted the sidearm, and soldiers who helped in the deposed Iraqi president's capture presented it to the president, the White House said Sunday. The president keeps the gun in a small study adjoining the Oval Office."

Why doesn't he just stuff his head and put it over the mantle? And we are supposed to believe that this whole thing was about WMD and iminent threats and war on terrorism....and was in no way about VINDICTIVENESS AND REVENGE for Poppy. Yeah right.

These folks are the most serious threat to our country since the Brittish under King George.

1. A "hot" stolen gun?
He didn't buy it. He has no proof of ownership. It is stolen.

14. Receiving Stolen Property is a crime
Bu$h has the US soldiers looting for him. Of course, the big loot is the Iraqi oil fields, with oil reserves worth $6 trillion ($6,000,000,000,000).

As for the gun, it belongs to the people of Iraq, not Bu$h. One could easily imagine that it would get $1 million or more at an auction.

Impeach Bush for these and other high crimes.

15. Wonder if he has a license
or has registered it? Doesn't DC have some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country? Anyway, that's what the NRA talking points tell me.

I think the DC Metro Police Department needs to confiscate this illegal firearm until he can produce the proper paperwork.

I'm curious as to how "comfortable" the Secret Service detail is in knowing that a "former coke addict alcoholic" that can't eat a pretzel or ride a bike has access to a pistol?

18. The DC gun ban exempts...
...people above a certain level of wealth. It only applies to the little people who have lives of so little significance that they need no protection.

5. What a little sissy
Edited on Tue Jun-01-04 11:02 AM by Monica_L
He has no concept of manhood so he thinks this makes him look tough like that idiotic way he struts but can never quite pull off.

It's also appallingly inappropriate.

6. E.D. on Faux and Friends
Talking abut the pistol on Bush's wall on Sunday....

She would suck Bush's balls 'til the cows came home.

Maybe she already is.

8. Of course, the news

19. Seriously.
I don't remember which local station it was in Dallas, but they went on at length about the Clenis with film clips.

Serial killers often keep souvenirs of their victims possessions.

21. I hope he takes it out and plays with it often.
Knowing what a klutz he is there's no telling how much carnage may ensue.
