When the Dungeon Doors Swing Open...

Over the past few months I have noticed and noted a repeated question from FR members:
"What will they
( the appeasers, enablers, obstructionists and refusenicks of the Left )
do when the dungeon doors of Saddam's criminal regime swing open and the victims of his brutality pour out and tell their tales to a horrified world?"
Let's cull some links from our posts here:
The UN had better be getting ready for some serious questions. This failure on their part is unforgivable.
"How many other countries are starving with UN food held in warehouses?"
Paging Hans Blix, paging Hans Blix.. the U.S. Marines want to show you something. Bring your glasses... oh, and a great big crow for dinner.
This isn't a smoking gun. It's a smoking howitzer.
I've printed a copy of this article so that the next time I see a "Peace Protester" I can roll it up and shove it down his/her throat.
Iraqis Show What They Call Secret Jail
AP | 4/08/03
I assume that that is one of the main reason that the other Arab nations are so upset about this going on in Iraq; as I have said before, freedom looks mighty good on a satelite dish.
As each new day exhibits more of Saddam's horrors for the world to see, and the coalition is vindicated, rather than relief I am filled with a sense of smoldering anger.
It was not clear who had opened the doors of the [Children's]prison.
It sure wasn't Martin Sheen or Susan Sarandon or Mike Farrell.
Where was Ahmed's despair over all of this: http://iraqcenter.com/english/photos.html during SH reign? I would insert images here directly; but I think they are too disturbing. I left the link for all to decide to look at it. Some of the pics are extremely graphic as a warning.
And Saddam's defenders, on both sides of the Atlantic, have been notably silent.

More:
The whole UN should be indicted, starting with Kofi Annan. And they're still demanding the opportunity to commit more crimes. The UN is the most corrupt organization on the face of the earth, followed closely by the DNC.
Hollywood isn't going to listen to this. and aparently most of the media are having none of it. Is anyone other than Foxnews carry thise stories? I haven't seen it and my local paper barely touched it.
Harvard has five million pages of captured Iraq documents on the net here. Mass murder by Saddam is more well documented then the genocide of Pol Pot or Stalin.
Inside Saddam's Terror Regime (Vanity Fair, 1/21/02)
Vanity Fair | January 21, 2002 | David Rose & Henry Porter
...the exclusive on al-Qurairy's brutal history of-rape, torture, and mass murder, his training of a previously unknown elite force called al-Qare'a - including an untraceable 30-commando unit that left Iraq a year ago and his strong belief that Iraq was involved in the September 11 attacks
I hope the peaceniks now have the good grace to shut the hell up.
...brand new arms which included grenades, Russian and Chinese machine guns, automatic carbines and almost a tonne of ammunition.
Now...are we starting to see what needs to be done about is-slime?
Report: Iraq torture chamber found
CNN ^ | Wednesday, April 2, 2003
I was talking to a liberal about the war today and she said "that we are really going to be up creek if we don't find some WMD soon"....I said, "no, by then we will be up Saddam's butt"....she dropped her jaw!
New links:
Or:
This was on Fox News last week. Rush even mentioned something to the effect that the battery found in the torture room was made in France. Nice of CNN to finally get around to reporting this.

You know what though?
None of this matters to the Leftists. Nothing here will disuade them this wasnt about oil....and they will just show you gruesome pictures of tragic collatoral damage...
They will all say: of course we knew Saddam's regime was evil....but look what we did...
None of this will matter to the leftist...
The moderate Liberals are already convinced...look at the polls
Great job By the Way!

Bless you backhoe for thinking ahead. This is also a memorial to remind us, in part, why our soldiers fought and died. The evil here must not be forgotten.

To: Freedom'sWorthIt; All
I had originally planned to title this "Storming the Dungeons..." and write a little essay drawing parallels between current events in Iraq and how many years ago a band of warriors, now old men, or dead, had stormed Fortress Europe, and how the stench of Pure Evil had come wafting into their noses.
About how there had been hints and stories told for years, and how we looked away then, and did not want to see or hear-- but then reality and facts got in the way of that blissful ignorance...
In the end I did not write this for I just got overloaded by scrolling back through all those links.
I have discussed privately with my wife how I think Saddam and his regime are actually worse than most modern dictatorships, except maybe Pol Pot's...
