 Thanks, Tonkin!

Some examples of the abuses suffered by the Iraqi people under Saddam Hussein for sharing with forgetful war critics.

Some days it helps to rant.

If you want on or off my Pro-Coalition ping list, please Freepmail me. Warning: it is a high volume ping list on good days. (Most days are good days).

A great and tragic compilation. Thank you.

[Elle Bee]

thank you ping

.

Ranting is a good thing. I am sick of the press. I so much appreciate all of your posts, which I read and sometimes forward, even if I don't comment on the threads. God bless you, Ragtime Cowgirl!

Great Rant ~ Thanks RC!

Do you remember the thread from 2-3 months ago about the Iraqi man who hid from Hussein's goons in a secret room for something like a dozen years?

[piasa]

Don't underestimate the left; they managed to smother what Hussein did to Kuwait by just using a palestinian collaborator's words to discredit one witness's (of over two hundred witnesses) testimony, and went on to use that to claim all of the testimony and reports were false.

Thanks for the ping. How do you get this through the thick skulls of the idiots that were protesting in downtown San Francisco yesterday?!

[SpookBrat]

Thanks for the ping. I hardly know what to say. I'm deeply moved and saddened. Feel like throwing up now, but I'm glad I read this.

Oh geez, RC, I can't stop crying....

This reminds me of the first time I heard about babies hacked to death on the backs of their mothers in Rwanda. Horrible, just horrible.

Thanks for sharing. A family in my daughter's school is escaped Iraqis. The day the statue fell, they passed out candy to all the kids. They will not talk about what they went through, just "It was bad."

One of the condemned women was pregnant. This presented a problem, said Ahmad, because under religious law a pregnant woman should at least be allowed to finish her term and deliver the baby before being executed. 'She was several months' pregnant,' he said. 'The doctor had verified it, she had said so and we could see her swollen stomach. She was taken in and out three times - everyone was unsure what to do with her.' Telephone calls were made to Uday by his representative. As they waited, the woman sobbed and begged for mercy for her unborn child. On the third telephone call the order was given to go ahead with her execution. 'At that the woman was beheaded - and knowing she was pregnant, I felt sick in the stomach and wished for Allah to open up the ground and swallow everyone there including myself,' said Ahmad.

-- Sunday Times, London, July 27, 2003

Note that the one crime that sickens these monsters the most, the one that makes them wish that Allah would open the Earth to swallow them all, is the one crime that is tolerated here in these enlightened United States, thousands of times every day.

It's a quagmire I tell you.
Hopefully Sadaam will join his sons in the near future.

[Alamo-Girl]

Bump!

[SkyPilot]

I wish during the next Filibuster on the Senate floor, a GOP Senator with integrity and conviction (there may be at least one) would read this aloud to the Democrat Senators (who we know have no integrity at all).

[SAMWolf]

Bump

Bookmarked for a thorough read later. Thanx for posting this compilation, RC.

[Tauzero]

Very insightful.

[snippy_about_it]

Thanks for the ping Saber and the post RC. Sickening but something we all need to see.
