(OT ) Dumb Dumb Dumb! (maybe he'll shoot himself in the foot)
Not something to brag about to a "Civilized" nation (but at times I wonder
if we are) Bush keeps Saddam's pistol as trophy - - - - - - - - - - - - May 30, 2004 | WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush keeps in his White House offices a trophy of one his high points in the Iraq war, the pistol that Saddam Hussein held when soldiers pulled him from his underground hideaway. Military specialists mounted the sidearm, and soldiers who helped in the deposed Iraqi president's capture presented it to the president, the White House said Sunday. The president keeps the gun in a small study adjoining the Oval Office. "The president was proud of the performance and bravery of our armed forces and was honored to receive it on behalf of the troops involved in the operation," said White House spokesman Jim Morrell. Maj. Gen. Raymond Odierno, commander of 4th Infantry Division, said the Saddam had the loaded pistol on his lap but didn't move to use it against the Americans who surprised him in what the military described as a spider hole near his hometown, Tikrit, on Dec. 13. Soldiers from Odierno's division conducted the raid that ended Saddam's seven months on the run. |

What an asshole. Surely there was at least one gun enthusiast amongst all
those soldiers who would've liked to have that gun. "Jim" wrote in message ...

And therein lies the difference! -- YOU don't feel the need to publicize
your (earned) award in time Mag. Dubwya somehow needs to show off his UNearned trophy. "John H" wrote in message ...

John H On the 'Poco Loco' out of Deale, MD on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay! I did no more to earn my trophy than Bush did to earn his. If you were to visit my house, it may be one of the things I'd show you. (Actually, the bayonet is now used as a gardening tool, so I probably wouldn't show it to you!) I think you're just being a little hypercritical. But that's your choice. John H On the 'Poco Loco' out of Deale, MD on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay! |
