Can this clown Greeley beat a dead horse or what? And now he equates our capture of Saddam with firebombing civilians during World War II.

[zarf]

Greeley is a clown and a typical leftie who has no clue as to thinking strategically.

That being said, Bush has done a crappy job as to explaining why we went into Iraq.
Tony Blair did a much better job of it 2 days after 9/11 when he stated forcefully that WMD's in the hands of terrorists was unacceptable now that we know they are willing to commit an so heinous as 9/11....any rogue regime we suspect of supplying these weapons is subject ot attack.

This is a no brainer, but the administration has not made it easy on themselves.

The administration legitimized the invasion of Iraq as part of the ''war on terrorism'' and deceived the American people into believing that Saddam was involved in the Sept. 11

These guys would have a better chance of me keeping an open mind if they didn't start off with an outright, deliberate lie.

[Paleo Conservative]

The truth is that Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and their ''neo-conservative'' intellectuals wanted a quick little war with Iraq....

I'm surprised he put "neo-conservative" in quotes rather than "intellectuals".

[kennedy]

The Bush Doctrine: "We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them."

Why is that so difficult for liberals to understand?

Can this clown Greeley beat a dead horse or what?

The WMD question is NOT a dead horse. No one who values justice or freedom would let it die. We still need to know did the president lie to us or was he fooled by his advisors? If the second, why are they still around?

How did it come to be that a large majority (roughly 70%) actually believed that Saddam planned the 9/11 attacks? Was this a great text book example of perception management(Propaganda when the Russians did it)?

There is no way that removing a bad guy dictator in another nation, that was no threat to us was justified. If we buy that as justification, we need to expect another dozen or so wars of invasion in the second term.

Greeley is a sociologist and a writer of x rated religious novels.

He has no expertise in international affairs.

[BluePatriot57]

Are you sure this Greely clown really isn't Michael Moore? HA!

[pax_et_bonum]

Greeley sold his moral authority when he, a priest, began publishing novels of questionable value.

His opinion just doesn't matter.

Remove the tubes.....this guy is brain dead:)

I posted this on another thread but it kinda fits here too. The left just doesn't care or understand. Then, they get pi$$ed when they are called unpatriotic.

....(Islamic Findamentalist[s] statements) reinforces the notion that these extremists will use or utilize any weapon they get their filthy mitts on. Meanwhile, we have the handwringing and lamenting of the Deans, Hillarys, Kerrys and their leftist brethren. These leftists would like nothing better than hunkering down in their root cellars with their French wine and brie while discussing such pseudo-intellectual topics as the spirituality of orgasm. All while hoping that the world understands that "war never settled anything". Pathetic lot, the left.

Greeley- Despite the media hoopla and the White House spin doctors, it was not. The administration legitimized the invasion of Iraq as part of the ''war on terrorism'' and deceived the American people into believing that Saddam was involved in the Sept. 11 attack and that he had ''weapons of mass destruction.'' No one, except possibly Vice President Dick Cheney and the Wall Street Journal, believed that Saddam was involved in the attack on the World Trade Center.

Guess what a$$hole (greeley), Iraq was involved in both attacks on the WTC. Ever heard of Ramsey Usef (sp) richardhead? And the current circumstancial evidence is piling up against Atta...prick.

Oh, and the WMD evidence is overwhelming. Plus, so the liberal definition of WMD is clear, the Coalition will find operational (deployable) weapons systems for chemical warfare

$hithead.

Just wait a bit, the history re-writers are hard at work.

My sources tell me that the re-write of Saddam has been given to the best dictator apologist's in Hollywood. New history will be invented and ready for release by late spring/early summer 2004.

[Dionysius]

Is this hubris-ridden jackanape related to Horace? If so he's making like a centrifuge in his grave!

[wayoverontheright]

Was the capture of Saddam Hussein a major victory for the United States?

First humiliation, followed by denial, then respect, followed by frustration, then fear, followed by resignation, then capitulation, followed by peace.

[FreeReign]

But was it, as the president told us, a victory in the ''war on terrorism''?

What has happened since Saddam has left his hole?

- The Saudi's crack down on Islamic militants.
- Musharraf goes after his rogue nuclear scientists.
- Qaddaffy capitulates.

Yes it is a victory in the war on terrorism.

[Barnacle]

Greeley is an embarrassment to good Irish Catholics.

[B0rat]

This guy is a nut pure and simple. I have never and I emphasis never heard Vice President Cheney say that he thought Saddam Hussein had anything to do with the attacks of Sept. 11th, 2001. As for "weapons of mass destruction" does this Greeley character just have selective amnesia when it comes to the gassing of the Kurds in the 1980's? Also the accumulation of evidence that Hussein was associating with terrorists is devastatingly overwhelming. The most telling thing about this piece is the embittered reference to a GOP stranglehold on American politics. Clearly this is a Democrat who is diluted about the fact that his party is out of touch with Post-Sept 11th 2001 America.

[mewzilla]

Greeley can't justify the previous so-called peace.
