We all know that as soon as Iraq is liberated, the left won't stop. They will then start to attack the rebuilding issues in Iraq. This will open up a whole new can of liberal wiggly worms.

The only thing worse than war is LOOSING in a war against anybody OTHER THAN the USA!

Excellent ! Thanks, JH2 !

"War is my last choice," Bush said Tuesday at the White House, reacting to the weekend protests as U.S. and British diplomats begin crafting a final U.N. resolution, daring France to veto. "But the risk of doing nothing is even a worse option as far as I'm concerned."

'Ouch!' squealed the peaceniks. In two brief sentences, Bush knocked the wind out of their sails. They were back on defense, the spotlight -- and onus -- was back on Saddam.

Without a hint of wavering, the President noted that "some in the world don't view [Saddam] as a risk to peace. I respectfully disagree."

And so do I. And so does Tony Blair, our BEST advocate in War on Terror on that side of the pond...

Tony Blair: The price of my conviction

Excerpt:

But there are also consequences of 'stop the war'. There will be no march for the victims of Saddam, no protests about the thousands of children that die needlessly every year under his rule, no righteous anger over the torture chambers which if he is left in power, will remain in being.

I rejoice that we live in a country where peaceful protest is a natural part of our democratic process. But I ask the marchers to understand this.

I do not seek unpopularity as a badge of honour. But sometimes it is the price of leadership and the cost of conviction.

If there are 500,000 on the [Stop the War] march, that is still less than the number of people whose deaths Saddam has been responsible for. If there are one million, that is still less than the number of people who died in the wars he started.

So if the result of peace is Saddam staying in power, not disarmed, then I tell you there are consequences paid in blood for that decision too. But these victims will never be seen, never feature on our TV screens or inspire millions to take to the streets. But they will exist none the less.



President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair of England walk out to address the media in Cross Hall at the White House Nov. 7. "We've got no better friend in the world than Great Britain," said the President during his remarks. White House photo by Paul Morse.

Bingo! We have a winner---no surprise it's you though, John. As Rush is discussing this morning and let slip, many Rats do want a tragedy for the country to pin on W. They are truly sick puppies....

Dear Mr. Blair,

Where will the "peace protestors" be if they get there way you ask? Where will they be when Saddam kills, tortures and destroys its citizens? The answer is simple- they will be in the same place they were after the Vietnam “peace”.

They will be in the same place they were when North Vietnam trampled into South Vietnam and imprisoned, enslaved and killed innocent people. They will be in the same place they were when Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge ravaged Cambodia and created the killing fields.

The place is called the “the self-comfort of their own indulgences”. Because the world is a safer place because they held up a signed or burned a flag.

"The mere thought of Saddam, a fascist dictator who gasses women and children for sport, being removed by U.S. military force, liberating 24 million long-suffering Iraqis, makes Lefties curl up in horror. They realize Saddam's forces -- scruffy, ragged, demoralized, timely as 8-track tape -- don't stand a prayer against the mightiest and deadliest fighting force ever known to man: The U.S. military. Saddam's army, against computerized tanks and smart munitions, against highly motivated, exceptionally trained men-at-arms, is about as useful as a losing lottery ticket. That's what scares the bejeebers out of Lefties. Without the hope of massive U.S. casualties quelling their anguish, they know US. victory will be swift and certain, that Saddam's days are numbered. Fear of victory is why the Left so vociferously opposes this war. If Iraq had a smidgen's chance of winning, or inflicting heavy casualties on U.S. soldiers, the Left would be beating the war drums. 'We're not really pro-Saddam,' the peaceniks retort. Saddam knows better. The Butcher-Of-Baghdad expressed his personal gratitude Sunday for their efforts. In all the protests, moreover, not a vague hint of criticism was ever directed at Saddam, the new darling of the Left."

Excellent article, mi hermano...yer far more than the KingOfPing...MUD
