The Blame Game
Major General Raymond Odierno, speaking about Saddam Hussein (remember him?): "My guess is he probably has a plan to keep himself nice and cozy during the winter, while the rest of his people suffer. But we're going to try to keep him running so he can't be comfortable and doesn't have enough kerosene...to keep warm. And I hope he's lost lots of weight."
Uh, so they're still "his" people, and their continued suffering, for want of heating oil no less, is still his fault? And, they're still suffering? (Odierno may have unwittingly coined a new Orwellism here: "Liberation is suffering".)
As for keeping him running, how the fuck would they know? If they knew he were running, they'd know where he were running from and to, yes? And if they knew that, they'd be able to nab him, right?
