No-one does a good rant quite like Karl over at Word Soup. Today sees one of his best ones:
Obviously Saddam, who was the sole mastermind behind the September 11 attacks and was planning bio and chem attacks on the U.S. (right? RIGHT?), was coordinating the Iraqi resistance with a hot-dog and some fig newtons in a fucking hole. I mean he was dangerous pre-war, what with his army and airforce grounded, Inspectors coating the landscape and the CIA up his ass, but he was super-EXTRA dangerous hiding in that fucking box with pickles and a .45.
I haven’t written much about politics lately because I don’t want to embarrass anyone with the bubbly enthusiasm I tend to run over with whenever I get on the subject. But take Karl’s post, rotate it across the Atlantic, and you get to pretty much where I’m at right now. Sign me up for that Paypal fund, dude.
What really annoys me is Bush one day making a big fuss about how Saddam will get a fair trial, then a couple of days later saying he thinks he should get the death penalty!
What are the chances Saddam will found innocent?
And if the trial outcome is certain before it even starts then how is it different from any other show trail ???
