Saddam Officials Financed Secret Pre-War Iraq Trip for U.S. Lawmakers...UPDATED

ANO

Democrats were in league with Saddam Hussein in pre-war times...imagine that.

Pre-war? What pre-war? Do they mean before Saddam invaded Kuwait? Nope. Prior to the beginning of the hostilities to finish that what Saddam started in 1990, it seems that Saddam "bribed" some congressional democrats and financed a trip to Iraq. Imagine that.

Let the spin begin. Poor Colmes is spinning like a Bad Dog at the moment on Hannity and Colmes. What a leftist putz.

None was charged and Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd said investigators "have no information whatsoever" any of them knew the trip was underwritten by Saddam. [...]
Remember those names...Jim McDemott, David Bonior, Mike Thompson

Like I said, I don't believe for one microsecond these leftist scum "didn't know"...I hope they burn in hell.
