There have been a stream of "experts" on the reconstruction of Iraq parading through Fox news spouting off about social justice and social equity. (two of the communist party platform planks.) One person name Bauder or something like it was particularly scary and particularly infected with the communist line. Fox had him on over and over toward the end of the war, and no one ever called him on his push for "social justice" and his communistic solutions for Iraq. It is disturbing that the communists get so much air time and that people don't realize that the world communists would find Iraq to be quite a little gem for their acquisition. And the most awful thing is to think that 123 Americans would have to give their lives, only to have another country in the world taken over by communists.

I think so. Just a personal power trip riding the strongest horse.

Yes, of all of which we are accused, this one is the lack that is glaring, the others are relatively insignificant.

May we gain wisdom and leap someone other than the Post to do it.

Maybe we should start a drive to get free subscriptions to the WSJ out there :)

The Commies always understood the power of the media...still do. That's their comfort zone.

Just like here, for the most part!

THANK GOD for FOX and FR!

He did and he didn't. The baath party (formerly known as the baath socialist party) simply felt the commies were a threat, but in a sick, sick twist, took many of there ideas. Saddam Hussein's role model was not Hitler, it was Stalin, he loved to read about him, do research on him, and model himself after him in as many ways as possible, right down to his own personal look, dress, personality, and gulags. He even liked Stalin's system of government, one of the key reasons that Iraq is secular. Even more scary, He would probably be considered a serious expert of Stalin if he was in the world of acadamia. Islamic fundamentalists, as a whole generally can not accept marxism in most of its pure forms, since marxism is anti-god and these people are insane maniacs in a cult. Iran, which would be perfect in the eyes of commies, can't have home insurance, since if something happens to your house, its allah's will. When everything is Allah's will, its hard to get state programs that counteract that.

Well, like they say: A high tide raises all ships, even those with pirates in them.

Can someone find a link for me on an article posted a couple of weeks ago. It was a parody of the US finding WMD (Weapons of Mass Disinforation, I think)in Iraq that was actually headlines from the NYT and other liberal papers. I thought it was very funny, but cannot find it now.
