Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

His face, with its ink-black moustache, is blown up to the size of a wall in a mobile phone shop in Ramadi. Smaller pictures of Saddam hunting or making speeches are hung up behind the counter.
"Many people are putting up his picture and keep videos of him on their mobile phones and praise him and talk about him," Zaid says.
"It is only now that we have discovered how valuable Saddam was to us," Zaid says. "People have compared the situation before to the situation now. And then was better."
Since the Americans have pulled out, Zaid says, people have become bolder in displaying Saddam's image.

Yikes, scary but true. They have seen the worst of American empire-building so they have perspective better than most Americans. They have concluded that the corruption of Saddam was better.

Iraqis are nationalistic, like most people, and would rather a domestic dictator than a foreign occupier.

I forget. Did Saddam play the role of Gog or Magog in the reality the neocons created?

"and would rather a domestic dictator than a foreign occupier"

"The fundamental question also that I think a lot of Iraqis understand - and I do too - is how do we make sure the Iraqi citizens view US troops as helpers, not as occupiers?" Bush said.

QUESTION: Why not worry about it? Does it reflect the feelings of the people?

PERINO: I don't think that you can take one guy throwing his shoe as representative of the people of Iraq.

And I will tell you that Prime Minister Maliki and the journalists who were there in the room, who apologized on behalf of the Iraqis, saying this is not how they would treat a guest. []

QUESTION: But he wasn't a guest. We're occupiers.

PERINO: No, we're not. We are absolutely a guest.

He says today Iraqis hear promises from politicians to make changes and to rebuild. But the next morning, he says, Iraqis wake up to the same situation or even worse.
That sounds oddly familiar...

He's not busy. He's just hanging around.

"That sounds oddly familiar..."

YEAH!

Except you werked so very hard to label ANY change as "Socialist" at the time!

But So much for "Democracy Brings Peace" I guess --- which is What you and Your Kind Insisted we were investing in!

Anyway, did you vote for the Politicians who promised change ---- or did you simply vote "Stay the Course" (rhetorical of course, we already know you voted to "Stay the Course")!

And since you voted to "Stay the Course", doesn't that negate any criticism of the "change" you voted against in the first place?

"He says today Iraqis hear promises from politicians to make changes and to rebuild. But the next morning, he says, Iraqis wake up to the same situation or even worse."

Surly any day now they will be hauled off the rape rooms, thrown off buildings, have their limbs chopped off, or gassed. Or maybe not. Memories are such complicated things.

They have now created the "Left" in Iraq.

Except you werked so very hard to label ANY change as "Socialist" at the time!

Uh oh, someone's lying, and that someone is RedNeckVille. Why do you lie? Where are your principles? Maybe if you would spend less time lying and more time holding Obama accountable, we'd have a more socialist health care bill.

The trouble is in the way they treat the word, i.e. socialism is inherently bad.

"They have now created the "Left" in Iraq."
