Well, I'll say this...... Bush didn't order a single soldier to hang an Iraqi from a ceiling fan by his ankles then turn it on full speed in order to break the guy's back, did he? Saddam's killing choices were based on one thing: making him the all feared Dictator. The soldiers who VOLUNTEER in Iraq never aim at innocent people and pull the trigger for personal gain. And what's more, freakin' IRAQI terrorists kill more of their OWN people intentionally than we do. Whatever, this was dumb question. Why? Because it's not an opinion-based question which could be debated. It's a question based on alleged facts. Go check the definition of "alleged".

I cant believe you asked such a retarded question, your level of ignorance boggles my mind. Your so stupid I almost dont want to answer your question, but I will in the hopes that just maybe I may be able to impart at least a grain of intelligence. The answer is no.... Saddam killed approximately 3.6 million people, gased them like cattle, video taped babies being smashed against brick walls, cut peoples fingers off, shot women in the head and let their kids cry over their mothers lifeless corpes and did this all in time to go home and drink his tea and sit on his solid gold toilet bowl. Maybe you should read some history books, maybe you should talk to a soldier who has served in Iraq, or better yet talk to an Iraqi or Iranian immigrant who managed to escape the atrocites, in a nutshell dont get your rediculous imformation from CNN, Punkvoter.com , some Communist college professor, or some angsty highschooler who hates bush because its cool, and judging by your spelling thats probably where you did...
you ignorant cretin

Absolutely - The Bushes along with Clinton have supported policies that have killed million of Iraqis. Hundred of thousands of civilians were killed in the first Gulf war and the current invasion and occupation. Million were killed by the decade long U.S. sponsored sanctions including half a million children. They wouldn't even allow in incubaters for pre-mature babies or chlorine to keep the water supply clean. Clinton's secretary of state even admitted to the half a million stat. on 60 Minutes and said she thought it was worth it. The highest estimates for Saddam are between 100,000-200,000, and don't forget the vast majority of this killing occurred when the U.S. was his ally and giving him millions, weapons and poison gas to fight Iran in a war that killed over 1 million. Funny how no one had a problem with his tactics then.

No, Saddam has killed more civilians and right now the Iraqis are killing more of there own than all of the collation troops combined. Our military has always tried to minimize the amount of civilian causalities. It does not help when the insurgents and the terrorists hide behind innocent woman and children. They are nothing more than cowards.

Hardly,,, we would have to wipe out most of the country to come close to Saddam..Why did you post this.. Are you a media flunky who believes everything that's on TV, or in the news papers? Or are you just one of those Dem's that think we need to give all our money to the govt so they can tell us what to do, how to live, and what cars we drive? Watch Fox news at least they give more information instead of Gee what can we bash the pres on today type media.
Very well said Rob

And how many of those "civilians" were terrorists/insugrents? While you and your ilk will call all dead "civilians" ... those we are fighting are not wearing uniforms, are using true civilians as human shields, and are constantly attacking true civilians!
Get off your anti-U.S. soapbox and think. More true civilian deaths in Iraq have been caused by the terrorist bombs and IEDs than by American or Coalition troops. Far more.
Why is it that you blindly accept the propoganda people like al Qaida feed you ... and reject out of hand what you are told by your own government?
Un-freaking-believable!!!!!

Nope. Saddam, with his poison gas attacks, killed just about that many Kurds alone. Then add in the number of people who were assassinated for political purposes, the number of people shot and hanged for him to attain power in the first place, the number of women who were killed after being raped by Saddam and his family, and the number of people who died after being severely tortured, and it's not even close.
And this doesn't even include the number of Iranians and Kuwaitis that Saddam killed, nor the number of people killed through Saddam's training of terrorists, nor the people killed through Saddam's program of paying the families of suicide bombers.

President Bush certainly isn't telling the American people if he has, Bush has no conscience. He is almost as bad as Saddam.

I think it is getting close. Saddam was a ruthless dictator, but Bush is a ruthless buffoon. Both have killed many people with their poor policy decisions.

Not by a long shot. They can't even calculate how many Saddam has killed, but they have recovered enough mass burials to verify this much.
