    Has anyone heard from conservatives who were mad at Hussein’s rape chambers and human woodchippers?

        At the beginning of the Iraq war saber rattling, conservatives were using rumors of Uday Hussein’s rape and torture chambers as justification for a twenty-year, $30T military invasion (yes, $30T and counting …that’s how compounded interest works). They said that Iraqi citizens were tortured and dropped into woodchippers for entertainment. Literally saying we had to go to war because “the world is better off without Saddam Hussein!” (actual quote from President and Congressmen, as well as radio pundits).

        Those same people all support Putin in his attack on a foreign nation. Will they change their tone now that raoe and torture rooms are involved?

        Doubt it.
