THAT's the one

[Trust but Verify]

When she was spouting off about the 'arab streets' horror at the civilian casualties in Iraq I was yelling at John Gibson to ask her if they are as horrified at the civilian casualties of the Palestinian suicide bombers in Israel. Something tells me we already know the answer to that.

[abnegation]

Chris Kline (Fox): Uprising underway in Mosul.

[The Wizard]

I hope someone tells GWB that Red is a bad backround color for Arab TV

Blues, light blue, outside is good, also

[MEG33]

Sections of Mosul in insurrection..Strong Arab officer presence..I fear a blood bath.

[Consort]

How about mauve. I like mauve.

Stomping on Saddam

Wednesday, April 09, 2003

By Neil Cavuto



I want to talk to the French right now and the Germans and the Russians. I want to talk to all those who opposed the liberation of Iraq. I want to show you all something. I want to show you the joyous scene in downtown Baghdad today.

People oppressed. Now people free. People once hopeless. Now hopeful. People you forgot. But we remembered.

If you had things your way, they'd still be under the thumb of a dictator. And you were fine with that. We were not. You had no problem telling them, "live with it." We had a big problem telling them, "get over it."

Look at their faces. See their smiles. And feel their joy, their freedom and their fervor. How do you feel now? Still sure going the extra mile for them wasn't worth it? I don't think they'd agree.

While you were debating, they were suffering. While you were kowtowing to a dictator you knew was an ogre, they were enduring under a dictator they knew was even worse. They lived in huts and tenements. He lived in castles. But that didn't bother you.

They scraped by to get morsels. You skulked by to get contracts. They couldn't realize a penny from the oil that made Saddam rich. You didn't seem to care, as long as it made you rich.

You opted for profit over principle and deals that made a dictator richer and his people poorer. You argued the world had no right to interfere in a sovereign nation. But you won't waste a nanosecond to worm your way into this new nation. Now you want in, when for so long the masses have been kept out.

You are as crass as you are cunning, as phony as you are pathetic.

I ask you to look at their faces. Then look at your own. See the triumph of the human spirit and the coalition soldiers who fought and died for it. Then see your own pathetic selves, who -- even now -- can't come close to appreciating it.

Baghdad Bob FOUND! heheheheee....

[The Wizard]

I heard Bret Baire say that the DOD was listening to their on air report about that nuclear stuff underground, and I'm thinking, I read about that this morning on FreeRepublic.com...

maybe someone from the DOD should be Freeping

[Nam Vet]

These arabs are truely dilussional. They spout more bravo sierra in five minutes anyone I've ever heard other than another arab. Seriously flawed genes when it comes to logic. Doesn't help that they are systematic liars and backstabbers.

Nam Vet

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Pssst: adding wanker  (probe, source and power vacuum) to the VRWC secret code word book.

[Dog]

Arab officers??

Any more details what that means..

[MEG33]

Yes..Iraqi military officers.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

Wanky Hanky-for those unexpected spills. What the left is crying into today.

[two23]

[longtermmemmory]

Cavuto said a dry joke.

Baghdad Bob the information minister is actually at the secret hiding place of saddam. Upon entering he holds up his hand in the traditional "v" for victory style. Sadam responds by saying, "at last, we won?" "No" responds the minister, "we are the only two left."

[abnegation]

No Simon Marks told this joke.

[MEG33]

There have been rumors about surrender and now this..I'm in the dark really.
