Rosie and Donald: You're both fired

Guess Trump's ratings are down since the O'Donnell dust-up, so what better way to recover than with a piping hot Bush bash:

On Saddam Hussein:

"Whether they like him or didn't like him, he hated terrorists. He would shoot and kill terrorists. When terrorists came into this country, which he did control and he did dominate, he would kill terrorists. Now it is a breeding ground for terrorists."

No terrorists, Donald? Let's explore.

Internationally renowned terrorist and killer of Americans Abu Nidal was allowed to live freely in Iraq until 2002. Tragically, he shot himself in the head. Four times. Hey, maybe the Donald was right--Saddam would shoot a terrorist when it was politically expedient. Or was he just doing his part in the GWoT? Probably. But remember, he would never have stooped to working with al Qaeda terrorists. Adding "Allah is great" to the Iraqi flag after the Gulf War was a move from the heart, of course.

Maybe the Donald misremembered the late Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who was allowed to enter Saddam's 'controlled' country without being fired at once. He even ordered the murder of one of our Envoys not named Joe Wilson. Surely the benevolent one, sitting in his prison cell, was thrilled with the news that we nailed Z-man, although Ramsey Clark never mentioned it.

Or, maybe the Trumpster was busy fantasizing about Rosie when it was reported that we captured Abu Abbas shortly after the invasion, the man who murdered American Leon Klinghofer. Poor Abbas must have lived a tortured life in Iraq, running around like "the Fugitive" waiting for his destiny with a bullet. Or not.

Maybe he's ignorant of the fact that Saddam harbored the MEK terror group, allowing them to operate from Baghdad as they planned attacks on the Iranians. Or perhaps his mind was on Ivana when CNN/Time reported that the Butcher was cutting checks to the families of suicide bombers in Israel, sowing seeds of peace across the region.

But c'mon, Trump's not that dumb. He knows all this, he just had to find a way to "trump" Rosie, and he's done it. Pretty disgusting to use serious stuff like this to garner cheap publicity, but that's America in 2007. How long til we see a much-publicized kiss-and-make-up appearance on The View?
