FRIEND SARGE
Agreed, the guy who turned in the "Twins of Evil (Husseins)l" deserves the $30 Big Ones! And he may well need this fortune for travel money, considering the (violent) wishy-washy nature of some in Iraq, and indeed, the entire Middle East!
It does, however. appall me when our own returning veterans have to fight (often without success), and over countless years, for earned benefits. often amounting to but a pittance, if indeed, they get them at all!
These meager benefits were not earned in the brief time that it took to meander into a Coalition Facility and point a finger. Rather, many earned and deserve them for placing themselves in harm's way, 24/7!
Ah, but then, no big deal is made over the blood and sacrifices of many of our own, as they were only doing their duty! Well, I ask you, "Will Not The People Of Iraq Also Benefit From The Elimination Of Two Of The Insane Husseins?"
Hey, but not to worry my friend(s), the courageous gent that turned in the Husseins will be well paid for his brief act of heroism and patriotism! "He may (?) also end up in America, fat, sassy and as drunk (with arogance) as a lord?!" "Who Knows??"
Now wouldn't it be grand if some of those "Countle$$ Million$" discovered in one of the Hussein's digs, as well as the other "Mountains of Hussein Ca$h" dug up around Iraq, were utilized to defray some of the pain and suffering of those who's kids, husbands, brothers etc., came back lifeless or body-torn from the Middle East?
"Of course, this will never come to pass, as there is often no political gain to be had in doing the right thing!!" And especially when there are no international types around to pat you on the ass, or polls to impress with your magnificence!!
'Again' - Sometimes, doing the right thing, just for the sake of "Doing The Right Thing", is the only way to go! "War, after all, is not just a political opportunity!" (opinion)
"Photo-Ops, Anyone?"
