Fred Barnes: Uncovering Saddam's Crimes

The Weekly Standard ^ | April 26, 2004 | Fred Barnes

[OldFriend]

Once again the so called civilized world stood by and watched.......UNTIL GEORGE W BUSH took action.

The UN cared only for the graft they received. The american news media cared only for their 'access' as outlined by CNN.

Much like the genocide in Rwanda, most seem not to care about the loss of innocent lives.

X42 cared only as a means of wagging the dog, changing the subject from his own lawlessness and chose the side of the islamic fundamentalist terrorists.

[what's up]

"more inexcusable is the failure of the Bush administration to publicize the graves"

C'mon Fred. You and your ilk are responsible for informing the public. Why don't you do your job and quit blaming Bush?

[The Bat Lady]

and the leftists ask WHY ARE WE THERE?

[T'wit]

In THIS holocaust, the leftist media are the holocaust deniers. They don't care how many people suffer and die. They will say nothing if it justifies American actions in Iraq. They will say nothing that praises the great cause for which our service men and women work so hard and sacrifice so much.

By the way, when are they going to bring Saddam to trial?

By the way, when are they going to bring Saddam to trial?

Not until sometime after June 30, certainly. And probably not until after elections are held in January, 2005.

That much more time to milk him dry.

[McGavin999]

Fred just got back from Iraq and yet he has so many of these stories to tell. What is the excuse for those who have been stationed in Iraq for months. Why are they so silent? What have they been doing, or rather, not doing.

[T'wit]

Yes, there hasn't been a peep from him or about him, or where he is being held. I'm sentimentally in favor of an old-fashioned trial by duress. For instance, he could run the gantlet between two lines of marines armed with whips and clubs, or opt for being dropped onto sharp rocks from 10,000 feet, or spend the rest of his days married to the national leadership of N.O.W. and PETA.

[PISANO]

What have they been doing?

Most are much too lazy to do the necessary work on a story like Fred did. They would rather chum around with their fellow lefties complaining about the conditions in IRAQ and waiting for the NEXT casualty so they can REPORT it with grim faces and the necessary hyperbole needed to describe IRAQ as a QUAGMIRE or another VIETNAM.

[demkicker]

By the way, when are they going to bring Saddam to trial?

Great question! Nothing like putting this war back into focus! Bush and Co. need to put this b*stard on trial immediately, if for no other reason but to change the subject and show the Iraqi people we want to leave as soon as they get their sh*t together!

[jwalsh07]

Everybody knows that Hussein was a mass murderer of epic proportion. It is simply a truism that the liberals don't care and neither do some on the right who would prefer Fortress America.

Rwanda, Cambodia, Iraq. The liberals could care less. If it doesn't empower them, they are just not interested.

[pieces of time]

Thank you, my thoughts exactly! What do these "journalists" do besides regurgitate the wires and hobnob with the leftists?
This history makes my blood boil. President Bush is the one getting raked over the coals because he's the only one with the cojones to deal with this heartless pig and his cohorts.

[ApesForEvolution]

DemocRAT communists and stalinist Ba'athists all SuK!

[Senator_Blutarski]

What is the excuse for those who have been stationed in Iraq for months. Why are they so silent? What have they been doing, or rather, not doing.

I believe they plan to investigate Saddam's crimes after they finish up with Stalin, Mao, Castro, Reno and a few others. Don't hold your breath waiting for them to look into matters that make Bush and the military look good.

[Ready4Freddy]

It won't be Bush & Co. who put Saddam on trial.

Well said. God bless George Bush.
