Rather Knot
Thursday, February 27
ok so first let me just say
i did not watch the dan rather interview with saddam hussein...think I was watching the twilight zone at the time
what did it come on last night at 9pm?
hmm let's see it was ed, followed by twilight zone followed by queer as folk
A wild night for moi
anyway
anyway
thanks to the goddess Michele of small victory
(see upper left to link)
i was able to read a transcript
cause lord knows
i’m too caffeine challenged to actually download it from CBS
anyway
my first thought was
rather was showing the charming, human, kind side of saddam
just like barbara walters had shown the santa clause side of fidel castro
amazing how these great journalists
can show these lengthy...rating winning interviews
of major dictators
and not even laugh themselves silly
at said dictators
pretending to be kind jovial
saintly types
but at least fidel isn't exactly mass murdering his own people
today
anyway
love how saddam was all about allah
and love and peace and harmony
and the great people of Iraq
when he's made a point of torturing and terrorizing a nice chunk of his own people in the past
love the part where he suddenly seemed to know english
and what about him announcing that he did not lose the gulf war
Hello?
now as to his request to the president of america
for a debate to solve this
um...this is not an election campaign
this is a possible war against
a nightmarish dictator
who seems to have a huge problem
dismantling his missiles
what is this a penis thing?
first of all ...we all know the baby bush can not hold his own
in a debate that’s why gore won the election
yes won
so maybe saddam thinks he can save his country by outsmarting bush in a debate
the real issue here
is
holding a debate with saddam
elevates his importance
and also allows him a grand stadium to spin his
back talking bullshit
and lastly
would you have a debate with Mussolini
NOT
what scares me about all this humanizing of saddam
and anti-war protests
and celebrities for peace
is not the effort for peace
peace is always what one should strive for
it’s the separating of saddam from his actions
he is riding the wave of anti-war sentiment to set himself up
as the enemy of war, and the champion of peace
and yet the only reason, war is on the horizon is because of him violating
UN sanctions and building weapons of mass destruction
if he doesn’t want war
then throw away his weapons
easy
EASY
Stop grandstanding as this ALLAH loving man of the people
And bragging about being elected by 100% of his people
What would happen to the people who did not vote for him
I wonder
Gone
Disappeared
Missing
Just like so many pieces in this puzzle
