At the culmination of a gathering of global 'antiwar' groups in Istanbul to hold court on the liberation of Iraq led by the United States and the United Kingdom, the jurors who heard testimony against the liberators issued their findings which included a declaration of support for the terrorists in Iraq who are killing American, British and coalition soldiers and Iraqis.
The World Tribunal on Iraq is endorsed by leading leftwing organizations from around the world including American-based groups like Not in Our Name Project, United for Peace and Justice, Code Pink and International ANSWER.
The war on terror has reached a critical juncture. The left has publicly chosen sides with this announcement. There can be no more talk of 'we support the soldiers but not the war.' As Aloha Ronnie says, THE ENEMY IS WITHIN.
Here are two statements from the trbunal's announcement on Iraq:
10. There is widespread opposition to the occupation. Political, social, and civil resistance through peaceful means is subjected to repression by the occupying forces. It is the brutality of the occupation that has provoked a strong armed resistance and certain acts of desperation. By the principles embodied in the UN Charter and in international law, the popular national resistance to the occupation is legitimate and justified. It deserves the support of people everywhere who care for justice and freedom.
AND
III. Recommendations
Recognising the right of the Iraqi people to resist the illegal occupation of their country and to develop independent institutions, and affirming that the right to resist the occupation is the right to wage a struggle for self-determination, freedom, and independence as derived from the Charter of the United Nations, we the Jury of Conscience declare our solidarity with the people of Iraq.
The Tribunal also calls for the world community to support the terrorists by denying aid to those fighting them in Iraq:
10. That people around the world resist and reject any effort by any of their governments to provide material, logistical, or moral support to the occupation of Iraq.
The tribunal betrays the bravery of the 8 million Iraqis who their cast their votes in January by declaring the elected government of Iraq illegitimate. The terrorists couldn't have said it better:
9. Any law or institution created under the aegis of occupation is devoid of both legal and moral authority. The recently concluded election, the Constituent Assembly, the current government, and the drafting committee for the Constitution are therefore all illegitimate.

Some of you may read this and say this is not news. As with last night's posting about Code Pink, the left has been trying keep under wraps their support for the terrorists. Now, they have boldy declared themselves to be on the side of the terrorists.
We knew this day would come after September 11. We just didn't know the day.
Hmmm, I guess this jury of idiots is confused about the enemy here....

Insurgent violence has claimed the lives of 12,000 Iraqis over the past 18 months, Interior Minister Bayan Jabr said Thursday, giving the first official count for the largest category of victims of bombings, ambushes and other increasingly deadly attacks. At least 36 more Iraqi civilians, security force members and officials were killed Thursday in attacks that underscored the ruthlessness and growing randomness of much of the violence. The day's victims included 12 people killed when a suicide attacker drove a vehicle loaded with explosives into a restaurant near the northern city of Kirkuk.In Baghdad, gunmen opened fire on a market area crowded with civilians, killing nine, the Defense Ministry said.
Yeah, really standing with the average Iraqi by opposing the US. Bunch of tools.
When these "Americans" return home they should be richly rewarded for their help to our nation. A free tour of an alligator farm, up close and personal like.
I heard a lib on AirAmerica today reading an article about some elections in Iraq....the article was describing how an Iraqi man and Iraqi woman split up and went to different voting places, because if a suicide bomber showed up, hopefully one parent would be left alive to take care of the kids....
When I heard that, I was awed by the Iraqi couple, and proud that our American troops have made the elections possible...but NOoooooooooooooooo---
According to the lib on the radio, we Americans should be "shot" for putting these poor people in the position of having to split up to vote, and worry about whether the live through it...
You can't argue with people that use that logic...
I read on the Fox ticker on the screen today, that the upcoming elections in Afghanistan are VERY anticipated, and that voter registration is very high, with people having to walk for long distances, just to register to vote...I bet some of them might even be women that might have had their heads cut off out in mid-field of the soccer stadium a few years ago....
Now what? Does our govt. know this? Do our representatives know this? Will they listen to us if it's sent to them? If I lived in D.C. I'd take it to the Capital and leave it on every desk there. This really pisses me off Kristinn.
Let's see the liberals try to wiggle their way out of this one.
Rove MUST have known about this already. Gawd! I love that guy! He is good!
Good point.
F****** bastards. Since we are not supposed to advocate violent acts I will withold further comment. I do however enjoy my collection of sharp pointy things.
Cheesh...give up the "hidden agenda" [barely, at that] and just call it the AntiAmerican movement.
OK so we know who the terror supporters are if they step inside our grasp they get an all expense paid stay at Club Gitmo; end of story.
Allllll righty then. It's time to start killing them.
I would like to see a Sense of Congress Resolution condemning this Tribunal and it's Recommendations.
Let's see who really is for us and who is against us in the roll call votes.
What a bunch of cunnings.
It didn't take them long to prove Rove absolutely right.
Let's see who really is for us and who is against us in the roll call votes.
That's an excellent idea!! It'll back them all into a corner. E-Mail Rove! What an opportunity!
Right on the money!
The Media needs to cover just how wacky these folks are!!!!
Perhaps it's time We The People declared war on "The World Tribunal on Iraq", "Not in Our Name Project", "United for Peace and Justice", "Code Pink". "International ANSWER", etc. We're certainly up to it, and we're well armed too.
They're doing a great job of defeating themselves. They're just a bunch of unemployed losers.
I don't think many people take them seriously. They just like to make a lot noise. So does my dog.
Hey, easy there buddy! You're startin' to sound like Karl Rove!
That's an excellent idea!! It'll back them all into a corner. E-Mail Rove! What an opportunity!
