The Missing People Shredder

[Mr. Mojo]

Spot on. It the same with the people who continue to claim that the Prez lied about WMD's in Iraq when all the available intel (gathered from the intel services of numerous nations) pointed towards them having an extensive arsenal (which they still probably have, although not necessarily within Iraq's borders).

Equating Clinton's lies with Bush reporting (possibly false) info gathered from the CIA, the Mossad, and the British Secret Service betrays an extreme bias. ......toward our nation's enemies.

Something like what?

The assertion of the article has not been proven. You're leaping ahead of yourself.

Hillary believes that Iraqi women were better off under Saddam.

Funny how the mostly liberal mainstream press has pointedly ignored this provocative observation. Oh, and the PIAPS failed to mention the well-known rapes against women committed by Udday, Quesay and those ordered by their dear daddy. Of course, PIAPS didn't want to dwell on the subject of rape given her own spouses' past activities...

Perfect question...should be placed on placard and brought to every Kerry campaign event. Placed on billboards in the cities where Kerry is visiting.

There were multiple reasons given for removing Saddam.

• Genocide is a causus belli and codefied as such. That's why the Rwandan genocides were never described using that word - it would have forced action. Saddam conducted genocidal attacks against the Kurds and the Marsh People
• Saddam's innumnerable violations of UNSC resolutions were the "official" reason. They are also beyond dispute. Nobody pretended he was complying.
• The WMD threat was how it was sold to the American people.
• Strategically, this Administration wants to liberate the people of the Middle East. Their governments deny them basic freedoms of speech, religion, representation in government, etc. They also squander their countries' resources on palaces instead of infrastructure, education, medicine, etc. When people have freedom, they don't go blowing themselves and everyone else up.
• The fact that he violated the cease-fire agreements from GWI, shooting at our planes more than once a day was enough for me

There are BS propaganda stories in every war. But in the end, all that matters is winning. If you don't like what our country is doing by all means move your ass to France.

Nice one!

Lets see now,In Iraq we found:
1.)Jail cells smaller than the size of my desk at work
2.)Videos of people being shot,their feet being unmercifully whipped and tossed off buildings while blindfolded
3.)Jails full of children locked up only because their parents spoke against the regime of S.H.
4.)Military Jets buried in the Desert
5.)A vast section of Iraqi Marshland intentionally drained of it's water
6.)S.H. in a hole in the ground

To even ponder that S.H or his 2 (thankfully dead) son's weren't capable of using this paper shredder for human disposal, is simply preposterous. We've seen for years the video of him reading names of alleged traitors being escorted out of that auditorium to their deaths, with Tariq Aziz sitting in the first row. This writer of this article seriously needs to go stand in the corner and shake themselves to clear out their foggy thinking.

Only Dubya worshippers are patriots, eh? Whatever.

Sorry. I'm not going to France or anywhere else. Not that it should matter to you or anybody else--you have enough of the sheeple with you to keep the Empire rolling.

Say hi to your buds in the Green Party. You would have been a Tory during the Revolutionary War.

I second Paradox's comments, and encourage you to spend some time here:

See if some of the 54 pages of mass graves strike a cord with you. But I guess if there wasn't a shredder, it was all for nought. < /major sarcasm>
