TPS Posted October 10, 2004 Posted October 10, 2004 Apparently a Wall Street Journal reporter' personal letters about the situation in Iraq doesn't paint a pretty picture. I don't think Bush has a choice; he's got to hold his line until after the election. Another headline today has Rumsfeld saying we won't leave until after the election. I'm sure the Bush lemmings will continue to believe it is a "catastrophic success...." A Wall Street Journalist's view of Iraq
Kelly the Dog Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 This was particularly depressing and alarming from the WSJ reporter, even if she is quoting only one Iraqi's opinion... "I heard an educated Iraqi say today that if Saddam Hussein were allowed to run for elections he would get the majority of the vote. This is truly sad...."

Thurman's Helmet Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 What would the Wall Street Journal reporter's view have been like if they went to Iraq under Saddam's regime?
TPS Posted October 12, 2004 Author Posted October 12, 2004 I don't know, but my guess is that it wouldn't be much different than the administration's at the time; unlike now.
blzrul Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 I would not at all be surprised to see Saddam back in power some day - for the same reason that people in the US rallied around Bush, a guy who 50% of us dislike with varying degrees of intensity. He is a moron but at that point in time he was OUR moron and we were under attack. Saddam was evil, but the people who were alive when we invaded were people he didn't kill. Their suffering they laid at OUR feet (sanctions) not his. Just like the morons on this board blame everyone but the guilty party for our problems ... that's the way people are. It's the fault of the French or the Germans or...but certainly not US...uh huh. So if Saddam is tried in Iraq and not executed ... memories fade over time, and it's human nature to forget the bad and exaggerate the good. They might just want him back for the sake of the "good old days" when they could go to the market without worrying if a car bomb is going to blow them to bits. Stranger things have happened.
Wacka Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 I guess they'll say: "My family was executed, and I have no hand, but at least the trains ran on time." Blzrul, you top yourself every day.
