General interviewed on Today Show, just said
that the attack on Hussein's sons was a 'SUCCESSFUL HIT'

Queu up Godfather theme.

So, our troops are now fucking hit men for the junta in the oil grab.

:mad:

WTF is this country doing?

1. Who cares what you call it? They were psychotic rapists.
And deserved to die. They were hideous creatures undeserving of one more breath of air. Call it a hit, call it a military confrontation, call it anything you like. But, the end result is that the world is a better place because of their deaths.

Now, if Bush would just resign, the world would be a MUCH better place.

5. Then if that theory holds true
then every psychoctic rapist and murderer should be "targeted" and killed. Every one of them. If we are hunting down these people like the dogs they are, then anyone suspected of or convicted of such heinous acts should be similarily killed, yes? So why are we not doing that in Saudi? Or Syria? Or Iran? Or Pakistan? Or Afghanistan? Or even Liberia? Or the hundreds of other countries with murdering, raping despots who torture their own people?

I don't care what you call it, how you describe it...the Hussein brothers were murdered by a well mounted machine with firepower that wasn't at all necessary. They were "hit" because bringing them before a tribunal or a trial would betray all the nasty little secrets of the bushies relationship with their pop. No way will they allow those cats out of the bag. And if Saddam is ever found, his fate will be the same. No capture, just murder. And that will justify our illegal invasion of a sovereign nation where thousands of innocent civilians have died for the cause and hundreds of our own sons and daughters have died and continue to die - - to murder a despicable human being and his two sons and gain control of their oil. Explain that to your children - How murdering justifies the means.

What a wonderful world.

6. No matter what you say, I'm glad they are dead.
Feeding human beings into paper shredding machines feet first just for "entertainment" is sickening. Raping teenage girls in front of their parents is subhuman. You can spin this anyway you want but you gotta admit the world is better off without these creatures.

7. bullsh*t.
They deserved to be tried in court like any other suspected criminal. The US MURDERED these people. This MURDER was every bit as vile as any other. The US should not be the judge and jury. No wonder the US is the most hated country on the planet.

8. It was up to the Iraqis to render the justice THEY felt fit
By killing them, the U.S. just aggravates the shame and humiliation the Iraqis feel at having their country taken over and occupied. IRAQIS suffered at the hands of the Husseins, so IRAQIS should try them, kill them, cut off their heads, whatever they would have wanted to do to them. A trial and extended punishment would have been SO vindicative and healing for many Iraqis--not to mention the vital info that could have been gleaned concerning true extent of Hussein's support of terrorists, location or even existence of WMD, and of course location of Saddam. But of course BushCo could care less what is best for the Iraqi people--or even apparently what is best for the American people. Only thing that matters to them is that the dirty little secrets they share with Hussein--the chemical and biological weapons they gave them a few years ago, the PROMIS software that Bush Sr. gave Osama bin Laden that allows them to pinpoint exactly where the global manhunt is, the gazillions of dollars given to Hussein and bin Laden by the Bushes--all of this needs to be swept under the rug by the traitors that are running the USA.

2. I don't believe he meant it in that context.
I think he meant it in the context of they didn't miss their target... the more traditional meaning of the word hit.

3. I think the brothers should have been brought before a
tribunal but that would have been too much for the bushwa.

Waay too much history with the bushfeld. We have a picture of their daddy shaking hands with rummy and bush's pappy was supplying weapons to them, were they not?

No nasty trials for them...just the messy hit from a betrayal that other Iraqis are not too happy with. So another can of worms have been opened so the bushwa could buy some distraction time.
