While certainly he isn't the "meanest" dictator ever, he has done a pretty bad job of leading his country to prosperity. With the natural resources that his country has, it should be prospering. They are the #2 oil producer in the world. By repeatedly leading his country to wars that they can't win and angering the international community, he ensures that there's always somebody's foot on his head keeping his country down.

That's probably the most retarded interpretation i've read yet. I'm pretty sure the pentagon was alluding to the comparison on human rights/foreign policy, etc. etc. You think the pentagon is say, 'hey, we're invading iraq because saddam doesn't know how to take care of his finances!'?

If that was the case, the pentagon would have to invade the whitehouse first ;)

Phukass, you're probably the most retarded poster that I've seen yet. You have a pretty consistent track record of throwing an insult out in the first sentence of your posts. Therefore I'll treat you the same way, Phukass.

Haha, sounds like you are talking about that guy in White House.

Leading the country from the one of the best boom to one of the worst time, and pi$$ed off everybody in the world. At least Saddam has 20 years to do it, and that big guy from Texas did it in three.[/quote]

Please buy a clue before you post, idiot.

The economy was on its way down before the election even took place. The dot com bubble burst and things went downhill from there.

You're too blinded by bias to open your eyes to look for the truth.

Yeah, and did Bush do anything to bring the economy back? NO. Not to mention his cowboy diplomacy that make us the biggest bully there is, and now he is murdering Iraqis in the thousands. And he shamelessly pronounce Saddam the worst ruler?

He performs as admirably as Saddam.

A president cannot just turn the economy around at the snap of his fingers. It has too much momentum. Do some research, the economy fluctuates in cycles, we were do for a recession. The cycles seem to last about 10 or 12 years.
