As McGavin said, though........it's tough for people on the outside to know what's going on 'in the bowels of Washington.' It makes sense that some connection between Saddam and the left might be about to be uncovered. People with far greater political minds than my weak one will have to work on this one though.
This whole thing definitely doesn't pass the smell test. The left has done something deeply disturbing here, IMO.....
btw.....we know there are many DU trolls here on FR. With the comments that have been made on this deal by so many and the obvious attempt to whip up reactionary fury here of late, I've begun to wonder if people I thought were legitimate freepers aren't under cover for the left.
OWF, I own the book Hillary's Secret War. Jim Robinson wrote the foreward for that book and Free Republic is mentioned frequently in the book.
The book details how sites like FR started springing up in the 90's and what a threat they posed to Democrats. Because we, and sites like this one, do research and can easily debunk the lies by the left. Then we can turn around and use those articles and the research we've done and send e-mails far and wide.
Additionally, through cookies (or something like that), FR was able to trace where people were posting from. A large number of "freepers" were posting from the Clinton White House and the Washington Post, etc. They were clearly sleepers sent here to create dissent and make us fight among ourselves, which took time away from our activism and research.
Those sleepers are pretty obvious, imo, but rather than attacking them (which I am guilty of doing), our time would be far better spent debunking their lies, their agenda, and posting the truth and the facts.
Later today I will try and post an activism thread about this matter with suggestions on how we can best move forward. Maybe it won't work. But maybe it will.
If the truth comes out about either WMD or Saddam's relationship to Al Qaeda, the left can kiss November '06 goodbye.
We got lazy in thought. We got hijacked; with our pants down. Let's get back in shape here. People can die because of what happened last week. Think!!
