Originally posted by zeeblebotI"m just glad that people like he and Saddam never came to the US for trial. Not only would he still be alive, he probably would be in some civilian court in the US being given the same rights as a US citizen via taxpayer expense.

So why not pay the Iraqis to dispose of them thus killing two birds with one stone, as they say, by eliminating the terrorists in our midst whilst respecting the delicate susceptibilies of our hypocritical leftwingers?
