I have to repost this from Fresno's thread. It is one of the best.
I'd like to bump this thread and give my heartfelt apology to all especially the protesters. On this and other threads, I have been under the mistaken impression that the leftists were conducting anti US rallies today. I have come to realize that these liberals are instead throwing a huge going away party for their best friend, Saddam Hussein. So to the left and liberals I say, as much as I hate him, I can't deny you his good bye party. Doing such seems like sour grapes and makes me seem small and petty. Good friends don't come along often and it can be really painful when they've gone. Please cheer up. Not to mock your pain, but there are plenty of dictators who are almost as vile and murderous as Saddam. I'm sure one of them will be glad to win Saddam's place in your heart. But I do realize that nothing will ever take Saddam's place for you. Especially because not many of them are billionaires like Saddam. So I would like to join with these protesters in saying, "Bon Voyage Saddam". See, we can agree on something. I hope everyone will accept this sincere apology. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I forgot to mention the ridiculous sign from the left today. How about "America is the biggest terrorist state in the world" (paraphrased because I can't remember the exact wording)? They were so proud of that banner. weird people, huh?

You Columbia FReepers are just the greatest. Keep up the good work.
In Kansas City about 150 people (according to a local news station) gathered on the Country Club Plaza for a Support Our Troops rally. It wasn't wet but was very cold and very, very windy. There was even a military honor guard from one of the VFW posts. Several of us FReepers were there too.

It's just like those Peacenik dopes to stand in shelter! At the 3PM rally on our state Capitol steps, again they gave up on protesting outside and went into the Capitol building. We stayed outside to be more visible and to let our troops know they had support. Wimps.....

We are getting the message out to our troops that they ARE loved and respected and that the hippie peaceniks do not represent real America. Thanks

[Tony Blair] commented about the anti-Iraq protests, for people to keep one thing in mind. When they look at a crowd of protestors, whether it's 100, 1,000, 100,000 or even 1,000,000 - remember that it is LESS than the number of people that Saddam has murdered ! Hey, Sam ! I found an article posted by Pokey78 that has the exact and correct quote of the above. In the War on Terror, Tony Blair has been our best advocate on the other side of the pond, imho...
Tony Blair: The price of my conviction
But there are also consequences of 'stop the war'. There will be no march for the victims of Saddam, no protests about the thousands of children that die needlessly every year under his rule, no righteous anger over the torture chambers which if he is left in power, will remain in being.
I rejoice that we live in a country where peaceful protest is a natural part of our democratic process. But I ask the marchers to understand this.
I do not seek unpopularity as a badge of honour. But sometimes it is the price of leadership and the cost of conviction.
If there are 500,000 on the [Stop the War] march, that is still less than the number of people whose deaths Saddam has been responsible for. If there are one million, that is still less than the number of people who died in the wars he started.
So if the result of peace is Saddam staying in power, not disarmed, then I tell you there are consequences paid in blood for that decision too. But these victims will never be seen, never feature on our TV screens or inspire millions to take to the streets. But they will exist none the less.

I email my son-in-law the Freep Reports, he told me that he brought one to work and showed to all his battle buddies. They have their deployment ceremony Wednesday coming up, they will leave shortly after that, and as much as I hate seeing him leave, he is ready for it and he also knows that he and his fellow soldiers have the support of lots of people.
