Saddam Hussien? Hmmm. I know this is a biased site, but to the extent it is a true representaiton of what Bill O' said, it is proof positive that he lacks any sense of irony. The solution to getting the country under control is to run it like the old dictator did...its true.

On the June 19 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Bill O'Reilly declared that if he were the president of Iraq, he would run the country "just like Saddam [Hussein] ran it," by establishing curfews and shooting violators "right between the eyes." O'Reilly added that what he proposed is "not the kind of country I want for Iraq," but reasoned that "you have to have that for a few months to stabilize the situation so the Iraqi government can get organized, can get security in place and get the structure going."

Isn't this how dictatorships get started?

We are spreading freedom...why do you hate America?

Look, the guy is still available. We have him in custody. He has a great deal of experience running this particular country, he kept order more effectively than the current group in office, and his approval rating in Iraq is higher than Bush’s. We propped him up once, why not do it again?

I never heard that Saddam was into phone sex or battery-operated sex toys. Not that I'm one to keep bringing up old scandals.

I think we should have a JREF survey and get a list of names of people who could run Iraq today. Then we'll do a poll of the top 10, and send the winner's name to O'Reilly as a candidate for President For Life of the New Free Iraq.

Who's with me?

I vote we send the entire moderator team there, especially Darat. He handles getting shot at from both sides very gracefully.

As part of your plan will Darat be able to stay on as JREF forum administrator when he takes over as Iraqi president for life?
