Don't they use any vowels in Wales?

"Saddam's regime is like the Khmer Rouge and the Nazis; they are obsessed by documenting everything they've done. There are lots of photographs of prisoners just before they were executed, grinning at the cameras. The guards tickled them before they died to make them laugh."

A salute to a liberal. This woman gets it and well she should having gone into the den and seen the evil.

[dennisw]

A leftist with some common sense. I salute her!

[dixiechick2000]

This might explain the recent change in the polls.

Bumping a brave woman.

[ez]

My disgust for anyone who would leave Saddam in power knows no bounds.

[McGavin999]

God bless you Mrs. Clwyd. It's wonderful to see a liberal who maintains their principles. It's a very rare thing these days.

"Last week, she returned once more. "I hardly recognise the place since it became self-governing. There's now a university, a library, new schools and three women judges. It's amazing what democracy has done. The markets are full - I bought this watch for $40."

Why we fight......

[John Valentine]

The Labour MP Alice Mahon is sitting near us, drinking coffee. "She's my closest friend here," says Mrs Clwyd. "We have neighbouring offices and sit together on the backbenches. She's very anti-war but we've agreed not to discuss it because she knows I mind so much."

This Alice Mahon must be some piece of work, to be able to hear these stories from her FRIEND, someone she KNOWS, and to still be an obstinate dumbass appeaser.

The sheer, dense, breathtaking evil of the left incarnate: Alice Mahon.

And France 's Chirac wants to keep this "Hitler want-a-be" in Power?

OFFICIAL BUMP(TOPIC)LIST

[livius]

Yes, I guess there are honest liberals, after all. I'm impressed by this lady.

[rmlew]

No.
Pronounce this name: Llewelynn.

[NonValueAdded]

She said it all bump. How can the left possibly refute this?

[Billthedrill]

There is a truth. If you subordinate it to partisan politics you die just a little each time. If you have the courage to state it, and to hell with partisan politics, then you are a human being. Bless this lady.

"Even if Saddam does give up his weapons, he isn't suddenly going to stop being a brutal, fascist dictator. Is it moral to let him remain"

Bless you Mrs. Clwyd. Here in the US, a lefty with common sense is unheard of. I guess they build 'em differently in Britain!

[stands2reason]

Clwyd is pronounced "Cloo-id"

[alethia]

We can thank the UN for leaving Saddam in power after GWI. The resolution only called for pushing the Iraqi's out of Kuwait. I'm sure that our President and military wanted to proceed.

[Mister Baredog]

Anti-war protesters aren't so understanding. "They screamed traitor at me at the Welsh Labour conference. Somehow, it sounds much worse in Welsh but I held my head up," she says. "I admire Tony Blair now, he's brave. He's out on a limb, and I can tell you, that's tough." Such a high minded lot those protestors, the same kind that spat on US veterans from Nam

[BlessedBeGod]

BUMP for MP Clwyd.

[KickRightRudder]

Do you mean G H.W. bush? Would you be equally disgusted by the deaths of American soldiers. Just asking.
