The only unqualified success in Pres. Bush’s misadventure in Iraq is the capture, trial and execution of Saddam Hussein. So it’s odd that he told “60 Minutes” that he couldn’t stomach watching Saddam die:
He said he was discouraged by the handling of Saddam Hussein’s execution, which he saw on an Internet video but stopped watching before the trap door opened under the former Iraqi leader. “I didn’t want to watch the whole thing,” Bush said.
What happened to the macho governor of Texas who, in a 1999 interview with rightwing writer Tucker Carlson, sneered at the clemency plea of Karla Faye Tucker, a convicted murderer whom he had approved for execution:
In the weeks before the execution, Bush says, a number of protesters came to Austin to demand clemency for Karla Faye Tucker. “Did you meet with any of them?” I ask. Bush whips around and stares at me. “No, I didn’t meet with any of them,” he snaps, as though I’ve just asked the dumbest, most offensive question ever posed. “I didn’t meet with Larry King either when he came down for it. I watched his interview with Tucker, though. He asked her real difficult questions like, ‘What would you say to Governor Bush?’” “What was her answer?” I wonder. “‘Please,’” Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, “‘don’t kill me.’” I must look shocked — ridiculing the pleas of a condemned prisoner who has since been executed seems odd and cruel — because he immediately stops smirking.
So George W. Bush has the courage to put a woman to death — and to mock her while he is at it — but is too cowardly to watch a video of the death of a man he toppled a nation to apprehend.

GW Bush is a sick, twisted fuck that delights in the pain and suffering he brings upon others.
This homicidal, dry drunk war criminal has no conscience and no sense of either guilt or empathy.
He and his fellow thug, Dick Cheney, lied the US into the illegal and immoral war against Iraq and has since declared war on Syria and Iran.
Welcome to WW III and Armageddeon.
If Bush ain’t the epitome of evil, then who or what is?

simple…
…since Saddam was put at the top of Irak by the american secret services and fed whatever he needed for 40 odd years, Bush wasn’t happy watching a former friend die.
Just look at the size of the diamond Bush’s wife is wearing for a reminder of how close Bush is to some arab oil-rich families… ever wonder why Bush wasn’t happy on Saddam’s death and how he cancelled the unit searching for Bin Laden?
Same happens when any really old price-fixing clique whose members go at each other’s weddings and weddings of their respective families for 3 generations or so, only to pretend not to know each other when one of their own is caught in some carreer-ending scandal. Yet the sadness is obvious.
If you think 3 generations is exagerating, perhaps you should read “house of bush, house of saud” or somesuch. There is plenty of that stuff around if you just look, and the proof is quite damning many of those type of books (the semi-secret financial links is nothing to be shocked of, what is shocking is how many people disbelieve in the presence of proof they refuse to read).
