We will have to talk and deal with the French, much more often than we already do. Do you realize how dire of a consequence it is to deal with the French!?!

Because since the nuke codes have existed (whatever the hell you are referring to), every president since 1945 has heard the voice of the Judeo-Christian God. So as bad as you may think it is that a new candidate hears the word of the lord, it is nothing new, and no more scary than before. We have something called checks and balances, the POTUS is not all powerful.

That is a misquote (hopefully not on purpose). God told GW Bush to fight the terrorists in Afghanistan, and to end the Tyranny in Iraq. He didn’t tell him to invade.

The OP is there for a reason.
A better question would be: "Why is Buddy Roemer?"

1. Bush Jr./Blair invaded Iraq based on WMD lies. Before the invasion, Bush Jr/Blair didn't care if the Saddam tyranny stayed or not, as long as the supposed "WMD's threat" was removed. The absurd "human rights rationale" for invasion was brought in only AFTER the lies of WMD were confirmed and the alliance needed an excuse to stay. That mass-murdering war criminals Bush Jr. and Blair can joyfully skip around today without any fear of criminal investigation shows that america/britian to be populated by pretty immoral people.
2. That you think god cares about ending some tyranny and not others is comical:
3. Going off topic: danger, danger, danger, . . . yadda, yadda, yadda

Tell the Kurds that Saddam had no WMDs. You haven’t a clue what you are talking about.
Nope, no WMDs used here.

That you think you know what I am thinking or that you have a clue on this topic is the true comedy.

Yeah, those WMDs are terrible, it's a shame Saddam's good buddies gave them to him. Now who was that again?
He had them, he used them. Then he was forced to get rid of them. He had no more WMDs at the time we invaded Iraq.

The irony. It burns like a chemical attack supported by american governments and corporations:
quote:
The provision of chemical precursors from United States companies to Iraq was enabled by a Ronald Reagan administration policy that removed Iraq from the State Department's list of State Sponsors of Terrorism. Leaked portions of Iraq's "Full, Final and Complete" disclosure of the sources for its weapons programs shows that thiodiglycol, a substance needed to manufacture mustard gas, was among the chemical precursors provided to Iraq from US companies such as Alcolac International and Phillips.

We're off topic, you can have the last (comical) reply.

Off-topic remarks removed as I find that Saddam Hussein is not seeking the Republican nomination this year.

Bachmann ended campaign
Too bad. I really really wanted to see her run for presidency. May be she'd pick Sarah Palin as her VP running mate. That would be totally awesome.

Re: Bachmann ended campaign
But Santorum? Are you kidding me? I think having Santorum run against Obama would be comic gold! And it would lead, inevitably, to an Obama re-election. I call that a win-win...given our options.

Re: Iowa Decides, No Not Really It Doesn't
Revised results put Romney eight votes ahead.
Meanwhile, Newt Gingrich continues to be a spoiled little cry-baby.
"I find it amazing the news media continues to say he's the most electable Republican when he can't even break out in his own party," said Gingrich, mocking Romney's paper-thin win in Iowa over Santorum, the newest Republican upstart.
"The fact is three out of four Republicans rejected" his campaign, Gingrich said.
Hello, Newt? You came fourth. Behind Ron Paul.

Could not fap.

The human understanding when it has once adopted an opinion (either as being the received opinion or as being agreeable to itself) draws all things else to support and agree with it.
- Francis Bacon
"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." - John Rogers
