"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
