McDermott: Saddam capture timed
Unreal! These guys on the kook left are so bitter about this. Luckily, at least one Congressional Dem has spoken out against McDermott’s idiotic comments. If the left and right alike could get rid of their “fringe” nutters in Congress (via the election process, of course!), America would be a much better place:
Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., who earned headlines across the globe last year for criticizing President Bush while in Baghdad, is enmeshed in a new controversy over remarks he made about the capture of Saddam Hussein.
In an interview Monday with KIRO radio station, McDermott said the U.S. military could have found the former Iraqi dictator “a long time ago if they wanted.”
Asked if he thought the weekend capture was timed to help Bush, McDermott chuckled and said, “Yeah. Oh, yeah.”
McDermott went on to say, “There’s too much by happenstance for it to be just a coincidental thing.”
When interviewer Dave Ross asked again if he meant to imply the Bush administration timed the capture for political reasons, McDermott said: “I don’t know that it was definitely planned on this weekend, but I know they’ve been in contact with people all along who knew basically where he was. It was just a matter of time till they’d find him.
“It’s funny,” McDermott added, “when they’re having all this trouble, suddenly they have to roll out something.” *snip*
What a buffoon!
