Bush didn't watch Saddam hanging, yet he's Pro-Life?

Bush has stated often and loudly that he's a right to life person. Protector of the unborn. Ok, fine. However, I contend that if you are right to life, then that means all life. Not just the life of an unborn clump of cells. This is not about whether or not we should have hung Saddam, but why wouldn't Bush watch it? He put 163 people to death in Texas. I guess it's easy to do that when you don't have to watch the outcome, huh?

I watched it and I was happy that f*cker got hanged. People who commit so many crimes that kill so many people for an unjust cause deserve to die.

unborn clump of cells? Shows where your priorities are.... There is obviously a difference between killing an innocent baby you are responsible for and killing a convicted mass murderer.

Bush is the poster child of what I deeply believe as the PL mentality, the fetus losses value once it's born. That is why he signs for executions, they are real people and not those cute little imaginary almost cartoonish things he's got up in that fat soft head of his. The truth is Bush didn’t watch the execution because it was , A - On past his beddy time or B - Mommy said no, it would give him nightmares. Little snot nosed jerk, can’t wait for 2008! Sorry I have a thing for Bush :-)

I know i saw this on TV the other day bush was being interviewed by a guy and then the guy asked if he watched it. He said he watched only a bit... And then he asked how. He said on the internet... Well now im really impressed (Sarcasme) But seriously i don't think bush should have been the president... He's done a very bad job at it.

I agree with you on the pro-life issue.You can't just pick certain lives to be pro for.As for watching Saddam hang,that is a personal choice just like what you watch on tv.I watched,he didn't,big deal.As for the executions in Texas,he was just upholding the state's law.And yes,it's much less personal to just stamp the papers and let someone else do the dirty work.Consider it his part in helping prison over crowding.

Yes, he must be a pro-life individual of very very high, optimistic and high altitude calibre. This may be taken as a voucher coming from a Christian, in New Delhi (India). I am appalled at the manner in which you, a US citizen have found it expedient to attach a clipping on the utterances of President Bush and giving a colour to some human lapse or whatever you may consider fit for the dig. Whether partisan or not, I have reason to assume you are under some domestic constraints about which I do not want to discuss here. But, be assured, there are billions of humans around the world, besides in US itself, who hold President Bush in esteem for the steadfast manner in which he is delivering to the detriment of the terrorists. Sooner or later, time permitting, you may go through my discussion under a lead heading "Will de-escalation of war in Iraq warrant a return of peace in Iraq?". Should your pointer be to the execution of late Saddam Hussain, it needs to be pointed out that President Bush could not have interfered in the judicial matters of a country for which he had allowed the laying down of thousands of US and allied soldiers for thrusting a democratic form of government. You should not expect that sort of result from a nation that has had been maimed through decades of dictatorship-oriented atrocities where people have nothing to give vent to but their anger. Should it be necessary, there could be millions of volunteers who would be prepared to travel across to Iraq to fight the terrorists (self included). Ups and downs are likely in every siguation and, there is therefore, no reason to sulk at one or two of the minor draw back that come about. It would also be of immense importance if we take into account the number of feats achieved through years of efforts put in both in Afghanistan and Iraq. Is the public memory so short that we tend to forget that only yesterday Taliban were having a hey day in Afghanistan, imposing the sort of fanatic laws and inflicting very cruel punishments for minutest of reasons and taking to flogging men and women to the utter helplessness of the rest of the people. Have we forgotten that both Afghanistan and Iraq constituting people who are essentially humans like any one of us, but saved from the clutches of tyrants and fanatics. Did you not read news items where the then alive Zarcawi slitting throats of innocents and do you feel it was that easy to locate a criminal like him and having him killed? Come on, you have better ways of feeling elated at the works and deeds of President Bush rather than even dreaming of President Bush watching Saddam hanged, which part of justice was solely on the shoulders of Iraq and their government. Had President Bush really come over to watch sch goryn scenes, would you not have mocked your President with some sarcastic feelings?

I also heard he was pro-choice. I guess we will never know. Oh well. Things happen for a reason. I'm sure he has his own reasons for the things he does or doesn't do.

it is more sensitive when you protect the life of the unborn because you dont know how he or she will benefit the good of other people in their lifetime because they havent even been given the chance for life. Whereas Saddam has already given such a bad impression of himself, he didnt use his power to do much good for his people. It's not like he could have done anything to stop it. It didnt happen here in this country so even if he is pro-life what does it matter?/

If you had an abortion would you watch it? Babies have no choice or way to defend themselves. Saddam had a choice to slaughter humans or not.

Did it ever occur to you that if women had to watch the abortion, they may NEVER go in for another one? What a stupid comment. I have a former friend who had 3 abortions. When she went in for the 4th, the doctor pushed up on her abdomen and made her feel it. She was about to go into her 4th month. Guess what? After that, the next time she got pregnant, she HAD the child. Why? Because she had felt the child the last time.

There's a huge difference between abortion and execution.

That's a good question. From what I read Bush was already asleep in Texas when Saddam was hanged. I don't know why he woudln't watch it, since he played such a major role in making it happen.

Isn't capital punishment a mere term for state-sponsered murder? I guess Bush doesn't want to watch the irony of killing people who are punished for killing in the first place. Its like saying I'll rob from a robber or I'll rape a rapist.

im sorry but i have to disagree with you.i agree with pre.bush,being a protector of unborn is not the same as taking the life of people that have killed others.the unborn are innocent,havent had a chance to live yet,but i believe that if we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that saddam and the others you were talking about, are guilty of taking the lives of others then they should have to pay with their own lives.to me there is no comparison.
