This is the sort of commentary that this country really needs. Let the left say what they want, but the fact remains that this is a simple question of cost-benefit analysis that any high school debater should understand. If we leave Saddam Hussein in power, more civilians will die. This is an undeniable guarantee. If we invade, yes, civilians will die, but it will be fewer, and over a shorter period of time. I point out, as an example, France during WWII. In the preliminary bombing leading up to D-Day, some 12,000 French civilians were killed. This is tragic, undeniably. However, how many more people would have died had the Allies not taken the ground war to that section of the western front? Or take the use of nuclear weapons to conclude the same war in Japan. It is a horrible thing that hundreds of thousands had to die, but how many more would have been killed in what would have surely been one of the most bloody ground assaults ever? Surely civilian and military casualties would have absolutely dwarfed D-Day, Gettysburg, the Battle of the Bulge, etc. It is inconceivable to me that people can be this narrow-minded about the sometimes harmful means that achieve, in the end, a much more positive result for everyone.

Heh, the guys at the local talk radio station loved it. Thanks again!

I heard this live on KVI AM570 back when it first aired. Bryan Suits (host of that show M-F 6p-9p) is an upstanding dude with a kick-butt-take-names attitude. I just wish he'd put his little discussion with "Baghdad Jim" McDermott on the website too. He rolled him over and smoked him like a Domincan Churchill.

Just heard it. Fantastic.

Like any good liberal, she declines to answer the tough questions at the heart of the matter and keeps to her script.

The (nervous) chuckles were a sure sign she lost and she knew it.

Excellent! It is a hoot to listen to the peaceniks. I have never heard a single thing from them that made me stop and think. Just like this "little girl" (heh heh), they never say anything.

[Rain-maker]

Listen to it bump. Every should listen to this.

Peacenicks can learn something real besides fictional nonsense.

Patriots can steel their resolve.

"Nicolodean Diplomacy" is what he called it! And she came off with the same diatribe that is repeated by them all.I heard this two weeks ago and actually it was one of my first posts on this board too! Great minds think alike!

"Nickelodeon diplomacy." "Can you answer the question little girl?" "If you just answer his question he'll be happy." "You cannot answer the question." "Listen to the laughter of this little bird!" "You're coming off like my nine year old niece." "We all start out as children and we learn and grow." A grown man vs. a supercilious jackass. Typical.

Thanks for a great post.

Just an update. Bryan Suits is back at KVI until June.
