Context

I didn't jump on the "secret offer to stop the war" article, because I thought it was rather silly. Clearly, once war was imminent, Saddam Hussein was willing to saw off his own arm and mail it to Dick Cheney in a barrel of oil if it would have stopped the war. Elton Beard, taking a break from his shorter duties, reminds us of another last minute rejected attempt to stop the war.

This war was inevitable, if not from the moment Bush was elected, from the moment he said "Fuck Saddam. We're taking him out." in March of '02.

When you google "fuck Saddam" some pretty creepy things come up....
