every and government

[The Mayor]

Bump! The Bush haters will ignore this, they want WND and nothing else.

[MEG33]

Dems:"If it was for humanitarian reasons why not Africa?or North Korea"(or China or Cuba?..they don't mention them)

Don't mention broken pledges in cease fire agreement or sanctions to them...it won't work.

You are correct the media ,anti Americans, anti war types and the Dems won't let WMD go.

"The Bush haters will ignore this, they want WND and nothing else."

Don't you imagine that even if enough nuclear weapons were found in Iraq to blow up the entire planet five times over, it wouldn't be enough to quiet these people?

[IoCaster]

Good read. Thanks for posting it.

[The Mayor]

Ya the media(hitlery) would turn it around and accuse Bush of hiding them to build up our arsenal.

What ever happens, the Right will be Wrong..

As I was reading the accounts of the brutality, I began to ask myself the question, how can true liberals continue to ignore the humanitarian triumph that this war represents? They apparently cannot chuck their partisanship even to embrace one of the stated pillars of their belief structure.

They have surrendered the "moral high ground" to us, folks, and that is a good thing, because in the end it'll prove to be their demise.

arent conservatives generally closer to what you would call a liberal than any of these hating leftists?

[Gritty]

...these peace activists, Western politicians, international journalists, and intellectuals threaten the rebirth of the country for whose fate they profess to care.

... and they should be ashamed of themselves - and would be, if they had a consience!

[StatesEnemy]

Saddam Hussein’s butchery was reason enough for war

So... we'll be heading to Zimbabwe any day now?

I suppose in many ways, yes. Once upon a time the word liberal referred to those who believed in "laissez-faire " free markets. It has been said that the word was co-opted by the left at some point to cloak their true beliefs.

Being a mean dicator is not a conservative reason for a debt financed war fought by teenage girls from West Virginia.

Thank you, SJackson. The world should have known about this long before we ever marched to Baghdad. It's our press's great failure ~ and shame.

Not until the fall of the tyrant and my decision to see postwar Iraq for myself did I begin reading the documents prepared over the years by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and other monitoring groups. They were shocking.

THE FIRST thing I discovered was that it was nearly impossible to compute how many people the tyrant had actually killed, whether by direct or indirect means...

Bring kleenex and something decent to compensate for the details here. Mass graves, torture, we're preaching to the choir, I know. Please share, and keep reminding the press and other war critics who they're defending ~ even now.

8 THE CRUELEST COVER-UP 

[Pan_Yans Wife]

With good reason Rumsfeld characterized Hussein's infamy as being equal to Hitler and Pol Pot.

[Alamo-Girl]

Bump!
