Nice for y'all to be reminded of Rummy's handing The Golden Spurs to his buddy Sadaam, a gift from Cowboy Ron, no doubt.

Maybe that is why, when Sadaam gassed the Kurds in 1988, the US was alone in abstaining at the United Nations from condemnation of the atrocity. Found it difficult to criticise a murderous, old friend?

But it certainly inspired a hellish burst of righteous indignation when you got all-riled-up FOURTEEN YEARS LATER.
