Americans are waking up from a distorted reality. Half now believe that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. That's up sharply from last year, when only 36% believed that he had banned weapons.
The numbers, from a Harris Poll conducted earlier this month, showed

If it doesn't work via the ballot box and political pressusre, then I'm perfectly fine with teh alternative method, to be quite frank.

Dems trying to cut off funds for translating these documents.
You could call them Zombies from the Dawn of the Dead. Once the bite of socialism pierces their flesh, they become transformed; walking to the tune of the Culture of Death.
Why so few? Are there that few Arab speakers around to translate them?
On Sunday John posted a lengthy excerpt from Senator Jay Rockefeller's meltdown with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. Many readers wrote to point out the following exchange:
WALLACE: Now, the President never said that Saddam Hussein was an imminent threat. As you saw, you did say that. If anyone hyped the intelligence, isn't it Jay Rockefeller?
SEN. ROCKEFELLER: No. The — I mean, this question is asked a thousand times and I'll be happy to answer it a thousand times. I took a trip by myself in January of 2002 to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria, and I told each of the heads of state that it was my view that George Bush had already made up his mind to go to war against Iraq — that that was a predetermined set course which had taken shape shortly after 9/11.
This admitted trip to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria by Rockefeller in January 2002 still bothers me greatly. Do you have an opinion on why JR made this trip? What? Four months after 911 and his view that George Bush had already made up his mind to go to war against Iraq — that that was a predetermined set course which had taken shape shortly after 9/11.
What did JR know and when did he know it?
What was Jr's purpose in giving a heads-up to these friends of Saddam a year before the start of the war?

that there is no point in arguing with them.

When you accept the fact that their political viewpoint is their religion, then you can accept the fact that arguing is useless. However, pointing out that they "believe" their truths without facts BECAUSE it is their religion, is a satisfactory way to end a discussion. That and laughing at them (unless you are talking to a friend or a relative or someone with whom you have to keep a continuing relationship.
I find the best weapon is to be amused by their naiveté, then mention some easily verifiable, but not in the mainstream facts, like the weapons being moved to Syria, when they protest, dismiss them as uninformed. Nothing gets under their skin more than being laughed at, especially politely, for their ignorance. They like to think of themselves as “the informed intelligencia”, nothing motivates them to learn like knowing you think them “Provincial”.
Enjoy your conversations with liberals, if life isn’t fun, your doing it wrong.. /Philosophy
Happy is a good word for IBD editorials. They are consistently conservative in their columns and cartoons. A nice respite from the trash that is written in so many papers.
I have found their articles to be well researched in the past too. They held no punches when covering the WorldCom/MCI and Comcast investigations.

You are correct and your tagline speaks volumes.:-)
I, for one, have never stopped thinking that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. As early as 2003, the mainstream media itself gave regular reports of empty canisters of poisonous gas and stockpiles of "conventional" missiles being found throughout Iraq. Somehow, those failed to meet the designation of "weapons of mass destruction," but I am sure that they would have caused quite a bit of mass destruction had the U. S. allowed Saddam to keep and expand upon them.

Like here. I couldn't find the link of a photo shopped pic. The line of trucks spelled out 'W M D.' Dems would still say it was just trucks.
