Bush & Saddam In Speech-Notes Swap Scandal

"If there is a person, then there is a problem. If there is no person, then there is no problem."
A favourite saying of Saddam Hussein - Butcher of Baghdad, Tyrant of Iraq, and Embodiment of All That is Evil.

A reference to suspected terrorists killeed by US forces in the State of the Union Address by George W. Bush - Cowboy Crusader, Oligarch of the United States, and Leader of the Free World.*
