Saddam Hussein admitted he signed an order of execution for
148 people with only a cursory glance at the evidence. This will basically be used as a justification for the entire war. We stopped a monster.
George Bush on the other hand presided over
152 executions as Governor of Texas. According to his own Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, then Gov. Bush only looked at clemency petitions "from time to time."
Instead, Bush seems to have relied on Gonzales's summaries, and they clearly indicate that Gonzales continuously sided with the prosecutors... Gonzales admitted that his conferences with Bush on these cases typically lasted no more than thirty minutes.
