If it’s true he hasn’t seen the video of Saddam Hussein’s execution, as the White House claims, will somebody please explain why not? Is it because it would offend his compassionate soul? Or is it because he would have to describe how he felt about it? And you know what a mumbler he is.
He’s already said what he’s been told to say by his handlers. (The execution should have been “more dignified.”) Presumably, they saw the video. But shouldn’t he see for himself what millions of others have seen? If he’s too sensitive to watch the raw execution video, he could watch the not-so raw video.
Shouldn’t he know first-hand what’s happening before he makes next week’s do-over speech about his latest “new” strategy for Iraq? (Not that it would make a difference.) Or has he watched the execution video, while munching on popcorn, and that’s a national security secret?
