He what?

George Stephanopoulos advocated assassination of Saddam Hussein in a Newsweek column in 1997. Of course, he's no Pat Robertson. Apparently the press thinks Robertson is more influential with the Bush administration than Stephanopoulos was with the Clinton team.

In any event, they must be glad they didn't listen to him, because now that they're so sure that Saddam was never a threat to anybody, it could have been embarrassing to have offed the man.

Funny how one's perspective changes when one is out of power.
