Saddam says, "A picture is worth a thousand words"

If you do not know by now, Saddam Hussein has officially been captured by US troops. A huge victory for the Bush administration, we now have in our custody the man who did not attack America on 9/11. Now if Bush could just find that pesky Osama guy (spelled Usama if you're watching Fox News Channel).

In the weeks before the war began, as you probably recall, there were many countries against our persistence to start a war. The country that stood out the most in its opposition was France. Of couse, many members of the "liberal media" - like Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, turned against France through harsh words and boycotts. (On a sidenote: I find it interesting and a bit humorous that so many people call the media "liberal" when the most famous news personalities are conservative Bush-supporting Republicans - Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Michael Reagan, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, Neil Cavuto, etc.)

Many people wondered why France was so adamant in its opposition to war. Then I began seeing this picture popping up in many news sources and all over the internet:

It's a picture of French President Jacques Chirac standing with Saddam Hussein and two scientists...and it was taken some time in the 1970's. Hey, a picture of them together in the 70's must mean that they have very strong ties in 2003. Yeah, OK.

If that's the case, then you might find this picture interesting. The "liberal media" didn't make this picture quite as popular:

There, you see Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam Hussein. Note that this picture was taken in December of 1983, close to a decade after the infamous Saddam/Chirac picture.

Here is a picture from the web site whitehouse.org that is a humorous, a better word would probably be satirical, explanation of Saddam's biological and chemical weapons:

Yes, Saddam Hussein had chemical and biological weapons....and the United States has known about this for many, many years - long before this war.

How does the US know he had these biological and chemical agents?
Because we sold them to him

The United States has a long history of dealings with Saddam Hussein, and there have been many US corporations who have sold chemical and biological agents to Saddam with full US government approval. The US even continued its dealings with Saddam after he gassed his own people...although Sean Hannity thinks we went to war to free 50 million people....yeah, cause that's just what we do, huh?
