Donald Trump: Middle East Was More Stable With Saddam Hussein and Ghadaffi

Muammar Gaddafi
[From article]
“It’s not even a contest,” the GOP front-runner said onNBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Trump said ISIS came out of the unrest after Hussein was deposed in Iraq, and four Americans were killed in Benghazi, Libya when Gadhafi was being ousted from power.
“You wouldn’t have had your Benghazi situation which is one thing which was just a terrible situation,” Trump said when asked if the Middle East would be more stable with the two in power. “But, of course, it would. Libya is not even– nobody even knows what’s going on over there. It’s not even a country anymore.”


Saddam Hussein

Trump compared the “mess” in Iraq and Libya to the current attempts to oust Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad. “It’s going to be the same thing,” he said.

George W. Bush speech after capture of Saddam Hussein:
The success of yesterday's mission is a tribute to our men and women now serving in Iraq.
The operation was based on the superb work of intelligence analysts who found the
dictator's footprints in a vast country. The operation was carried out with skill and precision by a brave fighting force. Our servicemen and women and our coalition allies have faced many dangers in the hunt for members of the fallen regime, and in their effort to bring hope and freedom to the Iraqi people. Their work continues, and so do the risks. Today, on behalf of the nation, I thank the members of our Armed Forces and I congratulate 'them.






Barack Hussein Obama speech, Sunday, May 1, 2011:
And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the
killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as I continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network.
Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by my intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden. It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground. I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan. And finally, last week, I determined that I had enough intelligence to take action, and I authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.
Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

Nooses Only for Some?

Nooses Only for Some?

In addition to the First Amendment protecting offensive symbolic speech
when did the noose become a symbol of hanging exclusively persons of color?
("FREE SPEECH LEFT HANGING," New York Post, Editorial, October 24, 2007) Saddam
Hussein and his sons were hanged. Is the noose a symbol of anti Iraqi hate? The
Nazi Doctors were hanged after the Nuremberg trials. Is a noose a symbol of
German hate? In Utah until recently or still hanging is a legal form of capital
punishment. In this country horse thieves were hanged. Why is this only an issue
for persons of color?

FREE SPEECH LEFT HANGING
New York Post
Editorial

October 24, 2007 -- The state Senate on Monday passed a bill that would make it
a class E felony to place, draw or otherwise display a noose - on public or
private property - and too bad about the First Amendment.

Now, the temptation for legislators to get tough on nooses has been
understandably strong recently - given the lawmakers' proclivity to pander, and
the uproar over the noose found on a black professor's door at Columbia's
Teachers' College earlier this month and the ensuing series of apparent copycat
incidents.

Disgusting occurrences, each and every one - but they're no excuse for an
end-run around free-speech rights.

Supporters of the bill assert that the measure merely includes the noose, a
symbol of racist lynchings in the Jim Crow south, in a legal category of
harassment that already covers swastikas and burning crosses. Threats - which
these things often are - are not typically considered constitutionally protected
speech.

Still, the bill remains problematic. What, for example, constitutes
"harassment"? And who gets to decide?

(The New York Civil Liberties Union - that self-proclaimed defender of
constitutional rights - punted yesterday, promising only to study the issue. How
timid - on a bill that poses a substantial threat to free-speech rights.)

The noose is a hateful symbol of a shameful chapter in American history. But
responding to it by doing violence to the First Amendment gives the bigots a
dangerous victory.
