More Fun With the Gipper’s Groin-Spawns
Over at Bonzo’s Crotchlings, Ryan Walsh writes:
What do we do with the testimony of this man? Is he a liar, lunatic, or truth-teller? A question with which everyone, including the folks at World O’Crap, must wrestle.
Mr. Walsh is referring to the testimony of Georges Sada, a former Iraqi general who claims that Saddam moved all of his WMD stockpiles to Syria prior to the American invasion.
For the record, I think Sada is probably a lunatic, just like Bill Tierney. If you’ll remember, Sada was the guy who claimed that Saddam had all his WMDs shipped out in “yellow barrels with skull and crossbones on each barrel.” (To which Gavin wittily replied, “Then on the Syrian side, government agents gave the Republican Guard big sacks marked ‘$,’ and everyone drank from a clay jug with ‘XXX’ on it.”)
But let’s say, for the sake of argument, that everything Sada is saying is true. This would mean that we took chemical and biological weapons away from Saddam Hussein and handed them to state sponsors of Hezbollah.
Does this strike you as a particularly wise policy, Mr. Walsh?
well this is where Sada lost me: and the wonderful, wonderful thing is that the first time we had 88 women elected in the Parliament of Iraq. I’m not sure of the number now, but you just imagine 88 women of 275 seats in the Parliament are women — in an Islamic Arab country in the Middle East. This is the fruit of the liberation.
the US government actually required those seats to be reserved for women. So I really fail to see how that demonstrates anything about “liberation” and the choice of the Iraqi people.
he also made an embarassingly lame dodge of the question – if this is true, how did everyone like David Kaye miss it? I can assure you that there are — even in Intelligence sometimes — that people are not taking it that serious, and dealing with it in that serious way. But now I can find that the senators like Inhofe and [Jeff] Sessions [R-Ala.], and Rep. Pete Hoekstra [R-Mich.], they are very serious, and this is the first time I can feel that your Intelligence are very serious . . . and I can assure you that this moment . . . there are people who are doing a lot in the Middle East to see the people who have transported the WMD to Syria.
um, what now?
By the way, you know those trucks Colin Powell pointed to in satellite photos that liberals say were “just trucks”? Well, the fine print on the trucks clearly read “ACME Mobile WMD Laboratory. (Not For Iraqi Use.)”
And the only reason we can’t find Osama is because the crafty bugger took off his black hat.
Off-topic, I know, but I just read the headline on Yahoo News, “Bush: Ports Deal Collapse Sends the Wrong Message.” OH, NO! The Wrong Message? We’re sorry, Unka Bush! We didn’t know!When-oh-when will people start admitting, and trumpeting, the obvious fact that Bush simply thinks whenever he Does Not Get His Way that it “sends the wrong message”? That’s his answer for EVERYTHING!About the signage on the barrels and trucks and Osama’s black hat, you guys are too funny. What would we all have done for a frame of reference if Warner Bros. had never existed?
And, Sada’s phrase “wonderful, wonderful thing” puts me in mind of nothing else than my Pilates teacher coaching us along by saying, “excellent, excellent job, ladies.” Certain adjectives, when you repeat them, just make you sound like a boob.

Pretty much. He’s a spoiled, petulant child.
Yeah well this is the same gang who fell for the Chalabi WMD story hook, line, and sinker and now that the crap has hit the fan, can’t seem to let go. Seriously, there are newly-hatched ducklings that are more suspicious and less likely to imprint on a concept than these guys.
Here’s another part that makes no sense: Iraq is going to be invaded. Saddam is a violent dictator who shows no hesitation brutally attacking his own people or his neighbors. But he seems incredibly reluctant to use his vast stockpiles of WMD against his most hated enemy, the U.S. He didn’t even construct a catapult or use a giant monkey to hurl the yellow barrels at the invading army.
Ooh, oh! Inhofe’s serious? Oh, my, well then…
What do we do with the testimony of this man? Flush again if it doesn’t go down the first time.
What do we do with the testimony of this man? Is he a liar, lunatic, or truth-teller?
Liar and/or lunatic, perhaps. Possibly deluded if we feel a bit more charitable. Truth-teller? Sada, no.
Are they still sulking because SZ mocked them? Geez. Thin skinned, I guess.

Hey Evil_Attorney, talk ditty to me.
Lucy, the phrase is “Makes you sound like a tit.” q.v. Woody and tinny words, Monty Python

Brandon, I have had a wingnut explain this to me on anothe blog: Saddam wanted to make Bush look bad, you see. The whole lead up to the war was part of The Butcher of Bagdad grand master plan to embarrass the Our Leader.
Seriously.
Can anyone say narcissism?
The name for the site is taken from Ephesians 2:10, “We are His workmanship.” The Greek word for workmanship is “poiema,” which is the basis for the English word “poem,” or song –hence “ditty.”
Somebody call the Red Cross, it’s got to be a violation of the Geneva Convention to torture a metaphor like that.
They’ll torture any metaphor in any way they see fit if it is in the cause of subjugating the brown people.
I hate to abuse Gavin again today, but it’s an old comment, so maybe he won’t care….
Ooh! Wouldn’t drinkin’ firewater (hic!) be in violation of Islam? Especially, Steel Reserve?
Yeah, geeze, we’ve been mocking them over here, too. OK, I’ve done it at both locations, ‘cos, target-wise, they’re like a blue whale in a barrel: hard to freakin’ miss.
Though I don’t believe I’ve nearly my share of Christian Hartsock jokes over here…
…yet.
Over at the old post, someone suggested the following:
it certainly took the Bush PR machine a long time to crap out this latest masterpiece.
I’m pretty sure that the administration didn’t come up with this gem. They’re not smart enough, on the whole, and where they are smart enough, they’re smart enough not to explain it with giant yellow canisters with skull-and-crossbones on the sides.
No, this looks more like the work of Chalabi, who has made up this kind of claim before, and has a vested interest in seeing any future conflict go to Syria, and not Iran.
You know, I coulda sworn that I typed the word “made” in the appropriate spot in the last line of my last post (no, “…yet.” doesn’t qualify as a line unto itself). Bah.
I’m still laughing about that “skull and crossbones” nonsense.
I knew some shitweasel was going to make up an outlandish story like that after enough time went by not finding the wmds.
“Uhhh also, Saddam drowned puppies and babies and tossed them into a giant metane collector that generated electricity for his giant moon laser…”
