Honesty is not a REPUBLICAN strong point.

zOMG! Rumsfeld shaking hands with saddam! Thats supposed to prove something!



And look, the most influential liberal president in history shaking hands with STALIN!! The most murderous and ruthless leader in arguably human history!

conclusion, Rumsfeld is obviously on the same team as saddam just like Roosevelt a communist murderer sympathizer /1quick6 logic

No offense to the OP, but this thread is polluting the lounge. It belongs in the toilet we call Political Views.

Fact... they were on our side then... fighting a proxy war for us... fact we didnt say here are some guns kill us..

Would you die already

And BTW, I think that is then VP George H.W. Bush shaking Saddam's hand, not Donald Rumsfeld...

I agree with Otto. One of my last plane trips, the middle eastern men walked right on the plane, but they wanted to wave a metal-detecting wand at a little old lady who literally had to BEG them not to do it for fear of disrupting her pacemaker.

It's a crappy situation that some terrible SOBs have declared war on the western world in the name of Allah. Of course not all Muslims are terrorists, but it seems that all terrorists are Muslims and it's a damn tough call how to handle it. Personally I think we should be more afraid of the consequences of inaction than the consequences of inconveniencing the rest of the middle eastern population.
