He\u2019s no threat.&#8221; Please. Saddam is anything other than a 23rd-rate military power. He\u2019s a terrorist and a terrorist organizer.<\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/dec_2_saddam_goes_too_far__uses_evil_cigarettes_.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"181\" height=\"274\" class=\"alignleft\"\/> But he\u2019s not going to fire his mobile missile launcher and give away their locations! You idiots! The point is that the British have announced and have accused that Saddam Hussein is guilty of gross human rights violations, and the world reaction is to yawn. They claim that they knew all along and we ignored it, yet now we trumpet this and they refuse to do anything to stop him! It\u2019s sick. The only thing that might really annoy them is this: &#8220;Saddam Hussein practices torture by stubbing cigarettes out on prisoners\u2019 bodies.&#8221;<\/line><BR\/>You hear that, you Californians! He\u2019s smoking cigarettes! That\u2019s going too far. This is like Richard Allen Davis, who murdered Polly Klaas, and everybody said, &#8220;Okay, if he just says he\u2019s sorry, we\u2019ll forgive him.&#8221; (<a href=\"\/\/\/home\/best\/killer_condemned_for_flip_off.html\">See the clip from Rush\u2019s TV Show<\/a>) But he shows up in court at his sentencing and flips off a cameraman, and everybody in America is outraged. I expect the same thing now with the knowledge that Saddam Hussein is stubbing cigarette butts out on prisoners\u2019 naked bodies. That, my friends, is intolerable. Mass executions are one thing, but using cigarette butts on people? He\u2019s crossed the line.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windows\/windowsmedia\/en\/download\/default.asp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/dec_2_saddam_goes_too_far__uses_evil_cigarettes_.Par.0005.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"18\" class=\"alignleft\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ThisIsLondon writes: &#8220;Human rights organizations accused Britain of showing a belated interest in human rights abuses in Iraq, saying it steadfastly ignored them during the eighties when Saddam was waging an eight-year war on Iran.&#8221; What does that matter?
