Krauthammer is an onomotopeia...he nails it every time.

Simple common sense is so beautiful...and...FACTS...my goodness...both concepts foreign to our elite media.

CK is brilliant.

(Thanks for the ping, Pokey78.)

IMHO, this article illustrates why little will change in this country until our leadership feels the same threat. We are headed towards a totalitarian govt by default.

The second amendment is useless unless it poses a real and present threat to those who betray their oath and their country.

Currently, it does not.

If you don't want to mess with excerpts and the Post, you can access Dr. Krauthammer at TownHall.com

(since he's on the President's Bioethics Council and makes his living writing an opinion column, Dr. Krauthammer's one of my heroes)

As usual, the man's intellect is awesome!

When the Iraqi monarchy was overthrown in 1958, Prime Minister Nuri Said, fleeing disguised as a woman, was caught, castrated and hacked to pieces by a crowd. When the strongman who took power, Abdul Karim Kassem, was overthrown five years later, he was shot and his body displayed on television. When Najibullah, deposed dictator of Afghanistan, was killed by the Taliban in 1996, he too was castrated, shot and hung, still alive, from a lamppost.

Now that's what you call a tough crowd to work.

The moment we captured them we would have been responsible for their care and feeding forever. They were in their thirties. It would have meant that for the next 50 years the Hussein dynasty would have been kept alive -- by us.

Amen. Rot in hell.

Good read, Klinton got off too easy!!!!

A scene from the godfather. Assad wakes up one morning and beside him in bed are the Hussein brothers. That would be cool.

Take Saddam alive?...

How many years of O.J. lawyers and breathless cable coverage do we want to endure?

How many years with buildings full of hostages held by suicidal terrorists, with "non-negotiable" demands we release him await in our future?

How many intimidating years do decent Iraqis need to live, fearing his return?

How many years will dead-end holdouts kill our soldiers, knowing there is still hope?

How many more years will other terrorist groups such as Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Al Qeada take heart from our hesitation in executing this vicious killer?

How long do we agonize over turning him over to the UN Court in the Hague and wait for "justice", or do we turn him over to the Iraqis, or do we try him ourself?

How many years do we need to endure the whining of Liberals and anti-American politicians, demanding Saddam's "rights" and insisting on "better" treatment or even amnesty so we can "move on"?

We don't need to endure any of it. Saddam can, and should, ignominiously go down in a hail of gunfire - although the Taliban treatment sounds tempting.

America doesn't need him. Only America's enemies need him. They're the ones who want him kept alive for their own purposes. You can hear them louder and louder every day in the Media.

SIGH! It's so nice to read someone who has a purpose in life. Charles lives to inform and he assumes the intelligence of his readers and addresses them that way.
