THE PING!Posted on 06/27/2005 5:22:48 PM PDT by kristinn
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.
Great analysis.
Thanks.
And where are we with this Amnesty threat?

Statement Of Dr. William F. Schulz Executive Director, Amnesty International USA
Excerpt:
Amnesty International calls on foreign governments to uphold their obligations under international law by investigating all senior US officials involved in the torture scandal.
(snip)
While this is by no means an exhaustive list of those who deserve investigation, we would be remiss if we ignored President George W. Bush’s role in the scandal. After all, his Administration has repeatedly justified its detention and interrogation policies as legitimate under the President’s powers as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.

Bump!
Thanks for the ping NW_AZ!!!!
ANSWER in involved! ANSWER is International Action Center is Not In Our Name...Do they keep changing names? Or are they just inter meshed?
Well, they are affiliated with, have same people or this is just another name, Human Rights First, who have hijacked the WTC Memorial.
The anti-war groups showing their true colors. They wish the death of Americans and America.
grrrr....ping
At least they made it official. We'll have to spread the word. I don't expect to see it in the MSM. See post #74.
I wish we form the R.A.T (Rapid Annihilation Team) within CIA/NSA to get rid of those cockroaches once and for all. Something to the level of Mossad.
I know it will usurp the First Amendment, the question is, how far one is allowed to undermine the well been of the State,(United States that is!) in the name of First! Remember the "Fire in the Church" issue?
In my humble opinion, based on the current international environment, based on the vitriolic animosity against United States from the foreigners and especially from the domestic bred terrorists, any statements made against the state and well been of the United States of America, should be treated with out most seriouslity and if necessary with force if it deemed appropriate to protect the integrity of the Union.
Let's see...
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances
As you can see the First does not give you a free hand to, threaten USofA and/or it's establishments under that mantra!
I've had with this "free speech" nonsense. You threaten me, you're dead!
ping to post 74!
THE PING! And this pot-bellied Vietnam Vet would be proud to stand along side of you
Reurn home? TERRORIST NO FLY LIST
But the people that do take them seriously are sending them money - and these groups are sending money and materiel to "the other side," who are killing and wounding our soldiers, other coalition soldiers and Iraqi soldiers, Iraqi police and Iraqi civilians (including women and children).
They are traitors, for sure; but worse - they are a party to hundreds (thousands?) of murders.
Good. Join the jihad and die.
If Hitler was around today, they'd support him against us, too.
Satan's minions.
They're siding with evil. They really ARE anti-American!!!
Not if it was a government institution of indoctrination that gives tenure to Commonist indoctrinators that pledge allegiance to their public servant union!!! (there! I think I'm more opinionated than you!!!)
We recommend:
1. The immediate and unconditional withdrawal of the coalition forces from Iraq;
4. That the Guantanamo Bay prison and all other offshore US military prisons be closed immediately;
This WTI was conducted June 23-27. TurbanDurbin made his treasonous "comments" on June 14th, and issued his non-apology, apology on June 21. Coincidence???
8. That soldiers exercise conscience and refuse to enlist and participate in an illegal war. Also that countries provide conscientious objectors political asylum.
These 'people' are telling the world what to do and think, yet do not understand the definition of enlist.
Gives me a better understanding of why the - whatever you choose to call them - in Congress keep trying to force a draft. I wonder if they will be beheaded for failing their mission?
9. That the international campaign for dismantling all US military bases abroad be reinforced.
What can be said about this?
