Ron Paul advocated a Vote for an Iraq WAR.

Ron Paul made it abundantly clear that he would have voted against the war if it had ever come to s specific vote.

This kind of evasive talk cannot dodge the reality that Ron Paul thinks that appeasing terrorists is the way to go.

Al Dawa means "The Islamic Call"

Wow. You would think it would have more syllables, what with the adjective and all.

There was never a Vote on the Iraq WAR, because Congress abdicated its responsibility to Declare War.

So... One question -- Yes, or No:

Yes, or No?

"Congressman 'No.'" voted "Yes" with the democrats to reprimand Bush for sending reinforcements that were requested by the commanding generals to Iraq.

"Congressman 'No.'" is "Candidate ... 'No.'"

Try the cargo hold of an oil tanker (particularly bothersome, since much oil had NORM, making a nuke hard to detect). Or a truck driving across the Mexican border.

So becasue the methods of delivery you cited are still very real threats, what would this suggest about the effectiveness of efforts being made to date?

Again, if you give me the spelling (in Arabic) I can give you the meaning. Or link to it so I can see it.

Yes, but that problem has been corrected, right?

No, actually. Thanks to guys like boy Assad and I'mIndeedaWhackjob, we can still be attacked by a bunch of funded and trained terrorists.

Don't breathe too deeply, you'll drown in sand, you know.

Now that Saddam Hussein is DEAD, do you believe that the Federal Government should spend hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of American Lives to provide military and financial support to a Government dominated by convicted Islamic Terrorists who attacked our Embassies and murdered hundreds of United States Marines in cold blood?

You continue to regurgitate what sounds like liberal-DU word-herding to support a cut-and-run loser, and your arguments are full of holes.

Can't you do any better than that?

This thread is filling up with re-runs.

Wrong again. He entered Iraq as a Yemeni, and after revealing himself, the Saddam regime assassinated him.

Trial Of Bomb Blast Defendants Opens
By ALY MAHMOUD (KUWAIT)

Twenty-one defendants accused of bombing the U.S. and French Embassies last December were formally arraigned today, as their trial began under extreme security.

To be tried in absentia are four defendants who are at large, the prosecutor general said.

Five people were killed and 86 injured in the rash of bombings on Dec. 12. Besides the U.S. and French embassies, four Kuwaiti targets were bombed.

The prosecution has demanded the death penalty for 19 of the defendants. The others are believed to have played a lesser role in the bombings in and around the capital of this oil-rich Arab nation . . . Of the other defendants, 17 are Iraqis; two, Lebanese, three, Kuwaitis and two are stateless. Most of them said they belonged to Al-Dawa (Islamic Call) Party, an Iraqi movement of Shiite Moslem fanatics who are pro-Iranian, said court sources who asked not to be identified. ~~ http://www.juancole.com/2006/07/congress-expects-islamic-dawa-to.html

was the Al Dawa bureau chief in Damascus in the 1980s and was thus heavily responsible for Al Dawa operations in Beirut

No, he was responsible for recruiting anti-Saddam activists in Damascus on behalf of the Iraqi National Congress.

But nice try.

Ron Paul voted against the Iraq war resolution. You can't parse that one. Saddam would still be in power. Ron Paul is not even worthy to shine the boots of our brave soldiers. When they needed him, he turned his back on them.

Wrong again yourself. Get your facts straight. He lived in Iraq openly for several years before he was killed.

"The Bush administration paid the Iraqi National Congress $400K/month to tell them such poppycock."

Here just from hitting the "search" feature right here on FR and giving you the first two hits:

Two tonnes of enriched uranium (enough for several bombs) removed from Iraq in 2004:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1514112/posts

And you can follow the entire NYT story here. Basically, the NYT slammed the Bush admin for releasing Iraq secret nuclear documetns --- and thereby allegedly accidently helping Iran's with its nuclear program. Ironcially, in the NYT hit piece, it admits that Iraq was a year away from a workable device, a terribly inconsistent opinion with the "Saddam had no nuclear program" Dim talking point.

While it's amusing how much you depend on the AP and other leftist sources for your information, you have yet to explain how convicted terrorists dominate the Iraqi government.

Are the Embassy bombers ruling Iraq from foreign jail cells?
