Here you go anti-war Democratic candidates.
You know you are going to hear the following, "Since you were
against the war with Iraq, if you had your way Saddam would be free
today". Well, if george bush had gotten Saddam's cooperation,
Saddam and his sons would be free today. Remember this
little quote by bush just before he invaded Iraq?
(March 18, 2003)
"Saddam Hussein and
his sons must leave Iraq within 48 hours," Bush said during a
prime-time address to the nation. "Their refusal to do so will
result in military conflict, commenced at a time of our choosing."

And from the L.A. Times,
January 31, 2003: "WASHINGTON
— President Bush said for the first time Thursday that he would
welcome exile for Saddam Hussein, and a meeting between the president
and a top Saudi official touched off a flurry of speculation that a
credible effort is underway to offer a haven to the Iraqi leader.

So just store these
little quotes away, they may come in handy real soon. Bush was the
very first to offer Saddam a way to escape his past, escape punishment,
and escape from Iraq.
If Saddam had
worked with bush, Saddam would be free today and for many
tomorrows.
How would bush spin that?
