ACHTUNG, BABY! WHY WE WENT TO WAR WITH IRAQ!!

Look, I am sick and tired of the press, the Democrat Party Operatives, and snobby "professors" making all this fuss about the lack of WMDs (so far) and why we went to war with Iraq.

The President's case was strong enough for going to war with Iraq, but there was certainly one reason (legally speaking) for forcing Saddam's hand:

IRAQ WAS IN VIOLATION OF U.N. RESOLUTION 1441.

Now I think the U.N. is as worthless an organization as the PLO, the DNC or the NEA. Maybe even more so. But no one seriously contends that Saddam was abiding by the 12 or 13 resolutions passed against him in 11 years. He was violating the "will" of the world.

He should've been whacked years ago, the pundits said before the war. NOW people like Scott Ritter and Al Sharpton and Howard Dean are saying we shouldn't have gone in. When the President went to war, he justifiably went in for plenty of reasons. But among them was Saddam's willful violation of the U.N. Resolutions he had promised to obey.

So screw you, peaceniks and Democrats and flower children and mainstream press apparatchiks of the liberals. I for one am glad we got that SOB out of power, and I don't think we're finished yet. You people may yearn for more totalitarianism in the Middle East: the people of that region deserve better, though. And it'll make our world and nation a safer place.

Nice job, Recovering!

My only disagreement: no one could be as worthless as the NEA.

;-)

Good work.

If you read the documents that were signed at the end of GW I, you will notice how Saddam violated the agreement repeatedly over the following years. THAT was reason enought to take him out. Couple that with his open support and assistance for terrorists orgs and there is no question as to validity for taking him out.

[EggsAckley]

I'm with you, amigo.

[cardinal4]

I agree with everything you posted, good job! I would like to submit another useless organization if I could; The Hague..

[AdamSelene235]

but there was certainly one reason (legally speaking)

To what nation's laws are you refering?

IRAQ WAS IN VIOLATION OF U.N. RESOLUTION 1441.

Blech. I would have rather gone to war for oil than to enforce the dictates of the GloboSocialist's Kabuki Theatre for Tyrants.

[luvbach1]

Yes, it could be argued that President Bush was merely enforcing A UN resolution in Iraq -- one the organization was unable and unwilling to enforce. The Demonrats who always want the US to bow to UN authority should be gratified.

[DCPatriot]

And the Hague is why the United States should NEVER compromise ourself by signing on the the World Court.

Milosovic has been elected to public office while on the trial for his life for practicing genocide.

Can you imagine the circus if Saddam was allowed to be tried by a "world court".

God Bless President Bush.

" The Demonrats who always want the US to bow to UN authority should be gratified."

They are never satisfied, which is why we should never give an inch. Heck, the silly bastards think W should nominate only liberal democratic judges for judicial positions. And why not? They've gotten them in the past.

[Normal4me]

Lest we forget that all 15 UN security nation members agreed 100% with the resolution. We went in "Unilateraly" with the support of 49(?) other countries. If we had found the WMD's the first day, the dems would be bitching about something else instead.

[Maigrey]

Very nice commentary, but you failed to realize that The weenies didn't think this was right, because the president in question didn't have a D after his name. Had that been the case, there would have been a parade in NYC after all was said and done.

It's good that you're recovering.

In the weeks leading up to the new year Mooseur Jijaz (I think that's how it's spelled, he's the guy that broke the story that Bubba was offered OBL by Sudan but Bubba turned them down) has said to pay real close attention from about the time of the State of the Union address through about the time the Dems close their convention because the WMDs whereabouts will be disclosed and a very direct link between Saddam and Al Queda will be proved. So far he's been "spot on" on everything he has said in analyzing the WOT and on Iraq. If his accuracy level holds, it could be a very interesting election year.

[elbucko]

Bush removed Hussein and his sons while Bush had the chance. That's it!

Bush knows that if a Democrat becomes president in '04, that Hussein and his sons would be left in power for years. Iraq would become a cesspool of, by and for, more terrorism.

Had Bush left Iraq alone, either a dirty bomb, a germ or chemical weapon would have been detonated on American soil before 2010, if Hussein and family was not removed from Iraq.

Bush put his 2nd term on the line to preclude Iraq becoming Al Qaeda's home base.

It's no more complex than that. Bush is in the business of making the World safe for America, not "democracy". If that should follow in the Middle East, fine. But the President is doing as the Constitution compels him to do; protect the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. And in doing so, he protect us.

[tongue-tied]

You said: "...GloboSocialist's Kabuki Theatre for Tyrants."

Man, that made me laugh. What a funny, descriptive phrase for those idiots.

[Normal4me]

Bump! What America doesn't see for the most part is all of the behind the scenes stuff. The numerous terrorist we have killed or captured, the weapons we have seized, the monies we have frozen, etc. What I wouldn't give to be in a security briefing with the president every morning ;-)

[hosepipe]

[ ACHTUNG, BABY! WHY WE WENT TO WAR WITH IRAQ!! ]

nope.. actually it was a very simple message,
I don't care where you are or who you be, no place is safe enough for you.. -AND- you're landlord is pig fodder...

[Blast Radius]

I could care less about any UN resolutions or US justifications for the war. I think it is time the American public grew-up and faced the fact that we are entering a very critical stage in global politics in which control of fossil fuels is essential to the survival and growth of our nation. I wish we would just drop the WMD, liberation, anti-terrorism, etc. charades and start openly pursuing AMERICAN interests. It is almost embarassing how ridiculously P.C. everything has to be for the public to get behind any kind of aggressive effort in that pursuit. The sooner we accept our economy's dire, critical need for a stable cheap energy supply and the sacrifice needed to maintain that supply, the sooner we can begin securing our future as the pre-eminent global superpower for the next half century. With such an enormous militarily advantage currently in our favor, we should strike swiftly and forcefully wherever necessary in order to ensure future generations of Americans a life filled with peace and prosperity.

[GeekDejure]

My only disagreement: no one could be as worthless as the NEA.

Oops... you forgot about the NEA ... the Nuclear Energy Assho... um... er... oh yeah, Association !!! ;-))
