MSNBC reporting he "may" be in custody. Pentagon press conference to follow soon.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Did he kill anybody?... If not they oughta give him a pardon and a job.. He speaks good english and is a Christan.

Same w/ Bagadad Bob..

Make an announcment on Iraqi radio and TV.. Tell them to come on in.. We'll give them and their families a very nice place to stay.. the Wye River conference center.. (it's very nice) debriefing and new training.. then send them back to Iraq in some type of leadership role.

That's what I would do.

I kind of agree with you.  Some of those "Player cards" were under the threat of a brutal dictator  so they very may well be perfect for Gov't positions in the "New" iraq.

What if he was complicit in killing tens of thousands?

10Bears:

We're gonna forgive em and give them back the keys.

Yeah, right!  That would be agreat example to the world.  If you can just say some really scary guy made me do this, you aren't responsible for your actions.  Didn't they try that crap at Nueremberg?

Then of course I don't think he should be allowed to.

From PBS:

Quote
Tariq Aziz Since the early 1970s, he has been Saddam's conduit with the outside world, and his main advisor on foreign policy. Now Deputy Prime Minister, Aziz remains in overall charge of Iraq's foreign policy, answering only to Saddam himself.


You make the preliminary call.

Y'all missed the important part, since he's a christian, that means he must be a good person.  

???

Thx Rip ;)

Toad, from what I understand, Mr. Aziz was only spokesman. He never personally ordered the killing of anyone. This guy was educated in the west.. has good command of the English language and is very smart.

Syze, one of the hardest parts of the Christian faith for me.. is the part about forgiveness. I have come up mighty short many times in my life in the eyes of Christ. I think He may have added this as a test to show human compassion. Besides, we’ve already given back the keys to the police force and most federal employees so there shouldn’t be a problem here.

Indeed, showing compassion and forgiveness would be a great example to the world. As you recall, at the end of ww2, many former nazis were offered jobs.. they guilty as hell but it would not benefit anyone if they were all hanged.

There are other ways to fight a war rather than lob bullets and bombs onto their heads you could lob lobsters and steaks onto their plates. They like kababs?.. fine.. fine. At the Wye river conference center, we make kababs with filet minion.

Bring their families over.. kids need to see a doctor or dentist?.. no problem. Terik needs a new suit?.. The President of the United States himself could go shopping with him and help pick out some nice ties.  

I tell ya what.. Terik would be a lot better than the guy they got .. Champili .. It would be a lot less slap in the face of Jordan.  

As for Baghdad Bob.. Well.. he’s guilty of being humorous. No matter what you think of him, you’ve got to admire his sheer tenacity. It’d be a shame to throw him in prison.. Give him a job instead.  Same with the generals.. Now.. what was that fellas.. you call that a war? You didn’t even make any contingency plans to communicate with your troops?.. I say you go to Georgia for some refresher courses.. These are smart men they just lack military training in modern warfare.

10Bears, nobody posting on this board really knows anything about Tarik Aziz' role in Hussein's Iraq.

What do you really know about Joseph Goebbels even now? Did he ever actually pull the trigger on an "enemy of the state"? Or was he "only a spokesman"?

I wouldn't go touting Aziz until his role has been investigated and made clear.

He may be clean; he may be as dirty as sin.

But if you want to jump to a conclusion on him based on ..... what? what you read in the news... go ahead.

I'm content to wait a while yet.
