Just the fact that we must stand and DEFEND EVERY MOVE AND DECISION is proof-positive that the radical left is just running in pure OBSTRUCTIONIST mode, no matter what the issue and how good it is for the United States. Pure negativism, never offering solutions --- THE ARE THE PROBLEM!

Great post... Saddam Hussein had no ties to terrorism

That is so insane to me I actually shake my head....the guy IS A TERRORIST!!!

    This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of good stuff that is worthy attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately on my page.

       Besides this one, I keep separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson, Orson Scott Card, David Warren and Lee Harris (sometimes). You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).

Christopher Hitchens was also apparently surprised when Ron Reagan, Jr. made a similar assertion

I wish I'd seen that. Hitchens vs. Twinkle Toes must have been like a steamroller squishing a dead ant.

Excellent article!

[OK]

It should be required reading.

the claim that Bush "lied" about stockpiles of WMDs doesn't hold up to the least bit of scrutiny.

It doesn't even hold up to logic. For Bush to "lie" about Iraqi WMD, it would be necessary for him to know that Iraq had no WMD stockpiles, but to still claim that they did. No one but Saddam really knew the true status of Iraqi WMDs prior to the war, and he could not be believed for many reasons.

Hawkins is once again right on the money with this one. He even linked to my post on IMAO about the Lancet study.

Speaking of linking and Iraq, a member of the blame America first "reality based community" called the Republican bloggers at IMAO Podcast.com chickenhawks. Hear audio of that beating at http://www.imaopodcast.com/download.html

I saw it, I thought Jr. was gonna cry! LOL. Your description is apt, you could see it coming. I guess Jr's research team forgot to tell him the LIBERAL Hitchin's POV on the Iraq war.

It's hard to believe we're still arguing about this stuff. This is a great reference tool to combat the propagandists who surround us.

This can't be news since there isn't one word in it about "Aruba" or "Natalie." Imagine wanting to think about something else.

This is a great thread! Thank you for posting it. I will use it as a reference, which is needed more than it should be.

The problem is, the people you have to explain this to are the people who will not believe you no matter what you say.
