Save America from the War Party

Interesting, isn't it, with the dedicated burrowing through WorldNetDaily each night, that this commentary didn't make it yet to FreeRepublic? This needs to be heard, along with the war fever.

I respect our young men and women in uniform too much to have them go into battle with a "bodyguard of lies," to borrow Churchill's idiotic comment about protecting the truth. George Bush isn't interested in the truth. He wants semi-plausible excuses for war.

Actually, THIS started the war, which began with the 911 Atrocities.

Wehn Iraq released its phony "unconditional" offer for return of inspectors a vivid image popped into my mind. LUCY, CHARLIE BROWN and THE football.

You remember, every fall Lucy would offer to hold the ball for Charlie Brown to kick. Charlie hesitated, reminding Lucy that last year she pulled the ball away at the last minute, as she did the year before and the year before that.

But Lucy would tell Charlies that she wasn't going to fool him this time and that this tiem she really meant to hold the ball.

Of course, Lucy was insincere and Charlie would be fooled again into going flying as she pulled the ball away at the last moment.

Saddam is not sincere. We can not afford to be suckers.

Are you Chamberlain reincarnated???? Or did you divine this all by yourself???

pfffffffft.. "Our boys" are an all volunteer force (unlike Saddam's), so I am not so sure they want the likes of you "saving" them. 1998! 1998 1998 1998!! For crying out loud! It was only 4 years ago, how quickly people forget. There WERE inspectors there. They were hindered at every turn, and where they were able to look they did indeed find huge supplies of WMD. At NO point in the inspections did ANY of the inspectors (including blowhard Ritter) come to the conclusion that Iraq had halted its WMD program nor its attempts and desires to procure all forms of WMD including the treasured nuclear bomb.

One would have to be completely blind and naive beyond Forest Gump to believe that Saddam Hussein has any intention of full uninhindered inspections. Within days if not hours of the Kofi Annan backstab proposal, Iraq had already started squirming claiming that the Presidential Palaces will be off limits.. well DUH!! Hey Einstein, where do you think the WMDs are??? This article doesn't need a BARF alert, it needs a "DUMBASS LIBERAL" alert.

I was in the military when Clinton was president and let me tell you, the worst part of our morale was knowing that we were tools for the perps Wag the Dog missions. Having been in the military and knowing how military men think, I am certain that the majority of "our boys" are just itching to get some payback for 911. They sure as hell don't want people like you saving their lives by protecting Saddam Hussein, just so he can fund the next terrorist attack which kills their wives, mothers, and children. Believe me, they'd rather put their lives on the line, than watch 3000 more of their countrymen slaughtered like sheep with no way to protect themselves. So stop trying to protect "our boys" with INSANELY stupid politics.

The author is either incredibly ignorant of the facts at hand, or doesn't care to be bothered by them.

By agreeing to allow the unconditional return of weapons inspectors, Iraq has done well to expose – sadly, not halt – the Bush administration's unstoppable agenda.

Well when an article starts with a provable lie there really isn't much point in reading it for anything except the amusement value.

Saddam’s offer was for military bases and facilities only. That is conditional.

Dear Llana,
Dearie, you wouldn't know Scott Ritters pearls if he dropped them on your chest himself.

[tet68]

War! An idea as old as time.
All we are saying, is give war a chance.
