Donald Trump Praises Saddam Hussein

Who's surprised that Yurt is a Trump apologist?

Perhaps Blabo will be along soon to explain why the Iraq war was a resounding success and Trump was right to hold Saddam up as a role model.
 
Let us just make things clear.

Do those who think Trump's comment is wrong believe Iraq is better off without Saddam.

I had two family members confront me, I remember standing up to both of them and telling them that I would be vindicated by history, my brother in law told me I lived in LaLa Land, funny, neither has ever apologized to me and I have never said, "I told you so", it just felt good to know that I wasn't living in La La Land. ;) although there are times that I am sure I put a foot over the line

I also know I believed Hillary when she said she was lied to by Bush, his administration wanted war but they told Democrats that he was only using it as leverage to get Saddam to allow the inspectors back into Iraq.

“If we get the resolution the president seeks, and Saddam complies,” Clinton added, “disarmament can proceed and the threat can be eliminated. … If we get the resolution and Saddam does not comply, we can attack him with far more support and legitimacy than we would have otherwise.” This international support is “crucial,” she added, because, “after shots are fired and bombs are dropped, not all consequences are predictable.”

I have done a lot of soul searching since I realized that Bernie wasn't going to be the nominee on voting for Hillary, she isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I also do not think that she is the evil, heartless succubus that some here portray her as. I would rather have the imperfection I know then a crazy narcissist that is Trump.

You can vote for whoever you like, to each his own, but claiming you believe Hillary when she said Bush lied to her is just self justification. Hillary knew exactly what she was doing when she voted as she did. She is not a victim here.

Wait a minute, calm down.

Is there anything wrong with Trump's statement? He said he is a bad guy, but he is absolutely correct about his statement that he was good at killing terrorists.

Seriously, I have seen many lefties say that we should have left Iraq alone with Saddam in charge. There are so many negative things to hound Trump on, but this kind of bullshit is petty. Then again, it did come from out most petty member.

It all adds up and that wasn't the worst part of the statement

"He was a bad guy -- really bad guy. But you know what? He did well? He killed terrorists. He did that so good. They didn't read them the rights. They didn't talk. They were terrorists. Over. Today, Iraq is Harvard for terrorism," Trump said.

She's also not praising Saddam as a strong leader.

lol, well, you can believe whatever you like, but when you are lied to, it does make a difference and many in Congress believed Bush would use this only as a final option and he didn't, he didn't exhaust diplomacy. The administration lied to all of us, and this is why I believe Hillary in this instance. We were all victims, but the Iraqis are the ones who paid the price for our stupidity.

Here we have proof in Zappa's own thread that the Troll reads my posts, but can't directly address them, and then talks ABOUT me, but not TO me.

:rofl2:

Zappa says people who do that are COWARDS. And I bet Troll edited his post from "raw" to "war", dumbass spelling nazi can't even spell war right.

:rofl2:
 
The fact the Troll thinks I'm for Trump should alert anyone that he is nothing but a Troll and a liar. I have repeatedly, in thread creation and posts said Trump should not be president for many reasons.

We all paid, and we keep paying.

If the US and Europe stayed out of the Middle East the world would be better off.

Since when do terrorists have Miranda rights, outside of America? The way I read it, he is talking about war zones, and last I checked, there is no Miranda right in warzones.

Then Bernie's whole foreign policy campaign was b.s.

Why do you think he's just talking about "outside of America"?

His comments are consistent with everything else he has said about how ridiculous it is that we have any kinds of rules. Trump is truly Machiavellian, at least in his rhetoric. He doesn't believe America should stand for much in the world; he has advocated torture, killing families of terrorists & abandoning rules of engagement. The comment about reading them their rights was just another jab at the silly notion that we should have any rules at all.
 
Besides under Saddam the Sunni's, who are responsible for virtually all the suicide bombing terrorist attacks in Iraq (afaik Shi'a haven't committed a single one), were on Saddam's side. They only started turning to terrorism after they lost power.
