Leftist Reaction to News About Saddam Tapes

Story appears-several sources on the net-saying ABC has obtained copies of audiotapes made by Saddam Hussein-right before War-and will air them on TV.

Leftists begin reacting, with barely concealed rage.They have been chanting: "Bush Lied,People Died" since 2003,and there is a strong possibility they may be proved wrong !!!

Lefty #1: The source quoted is flawed. Just not as credible as AP, or AFP !

Lefty #2 : So WHAT if Saddam admits on tape he has WMDs ? Where are they ?

Lefty # 3: Why should we believe Saddam Hussein ?

Lefty #4 : Show me the WMDs !

Lefty #5 : This is just a ploy to distract us from the "new" Abu Ghraib photos.

Newsweek: The tapes were taken without permission,and, per our anonymous sources, they are old and meaningless.

Lefty # 6 - (I gave Newsweek the benefit of the doubt) : If there were WMDs,and they were smuggled into Syria, why didn't the Bush Administration do anything to prevent it ?

There you have it: a preview of what Leftist reaction will be, should the Saddam tapes, and the translated documents, etc. turn up clear evidence of WMDs ,support of terrorism, and convincing justification for the Iraqi conflict !

For what it's worth, I had trouble believing my eyes too !!

ABC has obtained copies of audiotapes made by Saddam Hussein-right before War...




What's the delay? Are they trying to fix it so that they won't be able to talk about it on the Sunday talk shows?

And don't forget, John F'in Kerry was FOR the airing of these ABC tapes, before he was against it.

I wonder if the MSM is starting to support the Admin more on this issue because they recognize that WMDs will be the case for war with Iran as well, and we can't afford to be hamstrung (I know, I'm taking crazy pills).

[Brilliant]

The media and the Dems doesn't want war with Iran. They just want to argue for war with Iran, but have Bush overrule them so that when Iran gets the bomb, they can blame it on Bush, and demand to know why he did not invade.

Hmmmm, I see some strategery at work here. For the longest time, nothing about the WMDs except the constant drum beat from the lefties. Now these new tapes have surfaced. My Intel buddies are very mum on the subject of Saddam's WMDs (more so than the normal 'neither confirm nor deny..' statements).

I'm thinking that soon something will break, some proof positive that Saddam did in fact have the weapons and they were shipped somewhere. Syria is my bet.

CBS: those tapes are GENUINE yet INACCURATE

[bray]

It's Bush' Fault!

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

[Cyclopean Squid]

It won't matter to the lefties. They'll claim that Bush planted them in Syria. They'll never even admit the possibility that they might be wrong.

[Argus]

You are right. It is now an ineradicable Truth of leftist dogma that there were never any WMD in Iraq and Bush cooked the whole thing up. It's right up there with "a fetus is not a human being" and "tax cuts only benefit the rich" as one of modern liberalism's Articles of Faith. No amount of evidence will ever be able to dislodge it.

[CyberAnt]

Aren't these the same audio tapes that Congress has had for 2-3 years ..??

If so .. why wasn't this info released before now ..?? Were the dems obstructing their release because it would prove THEY WERE WRONG ABOUT WMD's ..??

Inquiring minds want to know!

[crazyhorse691]

Curious which sites you mined for these bear nuggets. None really surprise me because the tapes represent a clear danger to the culture of hatred that propels some of those sites(I say some because FReepers show up at the strangest places to bait the moonbats).

[Tzimisce]

ABC has them?

*sighs*

You know the tapes are being edited so liberal politicians don't look bad. :(

[highlander_UW]

Lefty #7 everyone knows Halliburton and Cheney custom hand made the WMD's for Saddam, but reclaimed them when he failed to pay his past bills, which is why they arranged the invasion...to collect on Saddam's WMD bills....now where is my koolaid?

[djpg]

I would be surprised if these tapes prove anything that changes the debate. ABC would not publish them if they supported the President. They consider reporting anything favorable to Bush to be treasonous and would therefore censor it.

[Reactionary]

I guess the smirking apes on the left figure dear ol' Saddam might have just been, you know, "fooling around" whilst chatting about blowing up Washington, developing biological weapons, and developing nuclear weapons.

They really are such insufferable, brainless pricks.

[ChiMark]

The media is trying to divert attention by talking about
Dick Cheney's hunting accident. Far more important than WMD.

[Randy Larsen]

I heard John Loftus talking about these the John Batchelor show last night. Depending on the content released, they may hold devastating info for "NO WMD" crowd. They definitely point the finger straight at Saddam having them and moving them just before the war.(so Loftus says).

[Reactionary]

"Far more important than WMD."

Of course. All the professional liars in the media can do is smirk like apes, anyway. It's all they do.

[highlander_UW]

I was visiting with my mother and she had the news on earlier this evening. The topic was the new Abu Graib photos and the reporter stated that there were no WMD's and also said that it was a bad time for the photos to come out given the muslims rioting over the cartoons. They played a lead to the story twice before getting to it, so the cut was shown 3 times where some woman was stating that we need to find out how big a part Rumsfeld played in setting up a culture of abuse...this is what passes for journalism now?
