More Bad News for Daschle: Taking out terror of all nationalities

The vision-challenged opponents of the war against the terror masters, those who have been saying that you can't fight Saddam and terrorism at the same time, got bad news today from Baghdad. It turns out that our surgical strike on Wednesday night - the one aimed at the "top leadership" of Saddam's little hell-between-two-rivers - got an unexpected bonus: a terrorist from the Palestine Liberation Front. And the good news comes not from the Pentagon but from the PLF itself.

According to UPI, the Palestine Liberation Front said Thursday one of its guerrillas was killed during the U.S. missile strikes on Iraq. A PLF statement released in the southern city of Sidon (Syrian-occupied Lebanon) identified the slain guerrilla as 1st Lieutenant Ahmed Walid Raguib al-Baz who was killed early Thursday "while confronting the treacherous U.S. air bombardment on Iraq."

I don't know anything about the late Mr. Al-Baz, but I know all too much about the PLF and its evil leader, Abu Abbas. This was the group that organized the hijacking of the Italian cruise ship, the Achille Lauro back in the mid-1980s. They segregated the American passengers from the rest, and then courageously pushed an American Jewish paraplegic in his wheelchair, Leon Klinghoffer, into the Mediterranean. We tried to have Abu Abbas arrested in Italy, but he escaped through Yugoslavia to Yemen.

The rest

------------------------------------------

The PLF has long been one of the most lethal Palestinian terrorist groups, and achieved notoriety for its high-tech killings. Recently, Abu Abbas had come to live in the Palestinian Authority, but when Israel moved against the terrorists there he ran away - to Baghdad. The PLF has been one of the main conduits for Iraqi money to Palestinian suicide bombers.

So, in a single stroke, we have demonstrated the rightness of our cause and the wisdom of President Bush. It makes no sense to distinguish between the terrorists and the regimes that support them, for they are one and the same. We targeted a high-level meeting of top Iraqi officials, and willy-nilly eliminated a member of the terror network. Time will tell just how good and how lucky we were in the opening salvo of the Second Gulf War. But there is already cause for satisfaction.

Somebody should tell Daschle and Byrd.

The media underplays it as much as possible since the last thing it wants is to have people revel in the glow of American success.

When this war is over we will find nests of terrorists all through Baghdad.

"The media underplays it as much as possible since the last thing it wants is to have people revel in the glow of American success.

True. To listen to "the war" on radio this weekend everything was upbeat...until a few people were lost. By this AM the schlubs on TODAY and other networks were characterizing the entire past 24 hrs as "a day of setbacks". Hmmm...last map I looked at had us within 50 miles of Baghdad...

They make it sound like Saddam handed us the Mother Of All Defeats. <sarcasm

I don't think there was anything "willy-nilly" about this.

No More Iraqi Oil money for terrrorism and DNC rats like the Da$$hole!

You posted: 'When this war is over we will find nests of terrorists all through Baghdad.'

My modification/addition: When this war is over, we will find funded nests for terrorism in the US, in the Rats in office, the DNC, most non profits that hate America and of course the left wing mediots who control the 24/7 spin on phoney news from ABCNNBCBS, The NY Slimes and all the Slimes Wannabes from coast to coast.

Well said Grampa.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks!

[Terridan]

Yeah! And I keep hearing about the massive amounts of casualies... wonder when the media and the traitors in congress, and Hollyweird, will formally apologize to the President? Nah, its better they don't... They are looking sooo bad now.

[Terridan]

Good post!!!

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks. It is clear that the friends/buddies, bed mates of Soddamn are frightened about what we will and are finding out with the real inspectors, our GI's in Iraq.

SODAMNED GETS SPECIAL COACHING FROM HIS MENTOR, THE DA$$HOLE, BEFORE GIVING THE SPEECH OF HIS NEW LIFE! (AFTER HE GOT WHACKED LAST WEEK!)

DAMMIT SODDOMITE, LIFT YOUR HAND AND POINT YOUR FINGER LIKE YOU ARE POINTING IT AT BUSH. GET SOME LIFE IN YOU! YOU ACT LIKE YOU'RE DEAD!

Tell Bob Graham we can fight both at once!

I know most are focused on the war, but if you want a break from the war, call your senators on Estrada or the tax cut...

Freepers, rather than waiting to see what happens with Estrada, we need to take the lead. That means presuring Senators, special interest groups, media organizations, etc. This thread is meant to be an ongoing effort to get this man confirmed. For too many years liberals have had their way on the courts. Now, President Bush is in a position to move the courts to the right. The election of '02 showed that the country is with the President. I think it's time to let Daschle, Hillary, and Pelosi know this is Bush country. Are you with me! Let's FREEP these people.
