Dead Or Alive
A question on the Presidents News Conference
Norm.
Q Does anyone know?
Gregory.
Q Mr. President, good evening. If you order war, can any military operation be considered a success if the United States does not capture Saddam Hussein, as you once said, dead or alive?
I'll dispense with the answer the president gave.It's here if you want it. I don't believe I heard one answer that was related to a question, any question, in more than a general way and sometimes not even that. The thing that struck me was the phrase "capture Saddam Huessein, as you once said, dead or alive?" Has even the press somehow morphed bin Laden into Saddam and the infamous dead or alive category or has my memory simply failed me and George has put out the call for all on the axis of evil list as wanted dead or alive.
Comments
Yeah, I noticed that too. I commented that it was like a "change over" ala "Fight Club". It was like all of sudden bin Laden became Saddam.
