SADDAM HUSSEIN CAPTURE FRONTLINE FULL
I think president bush might get a rider for a couple of days, but in the end there will be a lot of people like me who think bush is full of shit and that Americans would be better off without him. I don’t see how it’s a win for bush, because whether or not Saddam was at large has never had any bearing on how bush has done his job. The media channels are saying that Saddam’s capture has hurt the democrats and helped bush’s reelection campaign. In short, I didn’t buy the bullshit then, and I don’t buy bush’s bullshit now. The liberation of the Iraqi people was only added after the other reasons didn’t work out. There has been no proven link between Saddam and Al Qaeda, and we’ve found no “weapons of mass destruction.” Both were listed as our initial reasons for invading Iraq. While I have no love for Saddam Hussein and I believe that the Iraqi people are so much better without out that the implications for their future is astounding, I still don’t believe that president bush’s motives were as pure or as noble as he makes out. Sure, a lot of people had wagged their fingers and admonished the Administration because Saddam was still at large, but in my mind that was never the issue.
I am, however, a little confused by the pundits who say that the capture somehow exonerates president bush. I’m glad that they finally caught him, and I’m looking forward to the day that he will be made to pay for what he has done to the Iraqi people during his reign.
