I saw a video clip of Bush angrily protesting the decision of returning Sadaam. Bush states that Sadaam should remain in Jail for the rest of his life.

*where is the death penalty when you need it

** My respect for Bush has grown a little over this, but not to the point where I would want him to serve in office for another four years

*** Bush's America going to war without the consent of the United Nations was just stupid
