That dumb broad may not be so dumb. I predict that by Monday night one of two mantras will begin to be drummed into our heads nightly by the agenda driven left leaning media.

Mantra One: that Hussein should immediately be turned over by us to some international body such as the UN, the Int'l Red Cross, or the Int'l Court of Justice. (The State Department, which I don't trust, may actually encourage this.)

Mantra Two: that Hussein should immediately be taken to the United States where, of course, the ACLU and our marvelous legal system will quickly insure he lives at least at the same level of comfort as Sirhan Sirhan for the rest of his days and maybe even get a book deal.

The Iraq people are kissing the ground
knowing the Killer-Tyrant, Saddam has been Caught!

Even Hillary's THANKSGIVING Surprise couldn't
dampen the Troops Morale and Spirit.

Did the USA Troops & Leadership become even MORE resolved to capture Saddam after Traitor Hillary's visit?

God is Good.

Thank GOD!!

didn't take long. This morning, former national security advisor under slick willie, Sandy Berger (one of those involved with the turning down of bin laden in the late 90's) said in an interview with Dan Rather that the capture of saddam was not the "magic bullet" in the war and that it does not mean that the attacks on our troops will stop. These people (dems) will do anything to put a negative spin on this effort. They are contributing to their own obsolescence.

HELL TO HILLARY

May Hillary Clinton and her "Enemy Within" Comrades
be covered in Soot and pooped on by many camels.

Amen.

NEVER FORGET


FoX News Foreign Affairs Expert ...MONSOOR IJAZ is now sharing how a prominent Iraqi Doctor in Mosul was wisked away blind folded on November 1st to treat a sick bearded man. Mosul is where the Sons of SADDAM HUSSEIN were found and killed in a Firefight.

...This Doctor was told that he would be shot if he didn't treat this sick bearded man once he saw him. Some treatment was given (An Iraqi herb equal to Adrenilin was administered to wake him up) and then this Doctor immediately got outta town and went to Baghdad with his family and belongings for some safety.

...A November piece of the puzzle leading up to the Capture of SADDAM HUSSEIN in December.

...MONSOOR IJAZ was also the Broker of 3 No Strings Offers from the Sudan to the CLINTONS during the 1990's to hand over our No. 1 Terrorist Enemy OSAMA bin LADEN on a Silver Platter, Offers that were REFUSED by the CLINTONS ...bringing the Attacks of September 11, 2001 upon us all.

The relative ease of capturing Saddam will not play out the same way for the Al Quaeda Terrorists. Unlike Saddam the Al Quaeda Terrorists are not pampered and "Cultured" like the Iraquis are. They are different in many un conventional ways.

Al Quaeda fighters are similar to the soldiers of Imperial Japan in WWII. The Bushido Code of fanatism best matches their style of War. This contrasts un-favorably with our style that more closely matches up with nation states such as Iraq. Vietnam posed a similiar set of circumstances and to this day we still have not mastered those tactics to successfully defeat a guerilla military force. We are learning but time is not our friend.

This is hampering our operations against Al Quaeda today. Saddam was soft as a creme puff but the Al Quaeda soldiers are battle hardened and tough to defeat in their realm. Running up and down remote High Mountain Terrain at extreme altitudes takes conditioning we don't provide our main line troops. We have a few selected battallions but their entire battle force is climatized where we are not! This gives them a distinct advantage and tenacity that we will have to work hard to match!

We will be challenged to meet seeming un-surmountable goals and battle plans if we are to prevail in this new war!
