George Bush is a hated man too. WTF is you point? Hussein managed to hold a country together that most didn't think was possible. Right or wrong, he did it. That's more than can be said for the bang up job the United States is doing "installing democracy".

My point? That you don't need to stage something like this in order to prove that Saddam was a hated man...

Give me a break. Why would they do that? To show that America was willing to work with the locals and bend to the will of the people. The symbolic nature of the American flag being thrust over his face was obvious. The subtle aspect was the removal of the flag and the Iraqi flag being placed over his face. The message was that America defeated Saddam, and Iraq still stands, but the United States is still running the show behind the Iraqi scenes. That was no mistake, that was 100% staged (I said that when it happened) and everything was planned out.

Even the guys at BBC said that placing the American flag there was a mistake....which makes me wonder why Psy-ops, as highly trained in the physcological aspect as they are, would do something like that.
