FREEPERS GET INVOLVED NOW

Bump for link.

Just thought I`d get back,I`ve sent a number of letters to the editor on a few talking points including the debate, no bites yet, but "Don`t give up the ship!" Come on fellow freepers, lets keep up the charge.Here`s an example of my "Global Test" letter.

Senator Kerry stated he believes the United States should pass a "global test" before using preemptive force. While he prefaced this by saying he wouldn`t cede "the right to preempt in any way", the question inevitably arises; who will develop, then score this test?

U.N. Secretary General, Kofi Annan believes the liberation of Iraq was "illegal" and that "there should have been a second resolution" authorizing the liberation. Annan is implying that only unanimous permission from the security council can authorize force.

Given current revelations concerning the UN`s Oil-for-Food program, one wonders how all the alleged corruption may have influenced their decisions concerning Iraq. These developments include a recently leaked confidential report alleging the program allowed Saddam Hussein to allocate discounted oil to nations of his choice such as France and Russia,influential voices against UN action. The report, a catalog of fraud, is being examined along with a host of other documents by at least five Congressional Committees including the Senate Governmental Affairs Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations whose Chairman, Senator Norm Coleman, stated; "From our perspective this is a scandal of overwhelming proportions".

So if Kerry doesn`t intend to cede our preemptive rights to this allegedly corrupt and untrustworthy organization, who will decide the criteria for this "test", the U.S. government? Isn`t that what President Bush and Congress have already done? Why suggest the erroneous and misleading concept of a "global test" at all? It certainly seems the U.N. merits no further opportunity to abuse it`s deservedly limited authority.

With a little luck, I`ll get a bite. Keep your fingers crossed, and good luck to all freepers.

Excellent letter
You beat me to it. You worked in the oil for food which is one of the things I was looking at. Great!.

I had an idea, like it or not, the Rats did have a pretty effective campaign to deluge the Lame-Stream media after the debate. We should start getting our facts together so we have a ready list of resources to counter the next rat spin. What is the next debate, domestic issues right?

BTW go to my personal profile then access my links for the bookmarks I used for this letter. I don`t know if you`ve bookmarked these but they`re GREAT for talking points.
