oh, goody!!!!
I’m just in time:
Midori: Don’t worry I plan on sticking with this new name, Liberals Suck And Lie. I’ve taken quite a fancy to it. Plus I don’t mind you using it for any of your fake post hijackings, it still gets my message out. It’s like a kidnap victim with a cellphone.
As I stated, I post using my real name. That is the only name I post under.
Look at it this way: who and what are you that I need to explain myself to you?
Having said that, I’m glad for you that you finally found one name to stick to.
After seeing you post so many deluded and crazy rants, I can see why you need to constantly point fingers and hurl baseless accusations.
I suppose you chose to make me the object of your allegations because I stand up for myself — something that you seem to have great difficulty accomplishing.
All you do is fling feces like a monkey in a cage.
To keep people from treading carefully and avoid stepping in your excrement, you have to yell: but wait!!! look over there!!! Midori is doing this!!! Midori is doing that!!!
I see you’re completely resigned in making these false allegations. It’s ok. Anything to help.
Cause you definitely need all the help one can muster.
And you need help mopping all of that sh*t off the floor.
That I can’t help you with.
I had a conversation with another poster on this blog, and we belong to another web community.
That person is 100 percent correct in his assertion that you just need to be ignored. No matter what anyone says to you, you just get shriller and goofier in your delusions and your own reality. Then you want to play General in getting your little gaggle of vermin together in attacking me based on your off the wall conspiracies.
So, accuse on. Create all the conspiracies you want. I’m not going to crawl down in your fetid sewer any more. Rock on, Baby.
Rock on.

OO,
don’t feel bad. This cartoon is not funny (but at least is not a charade of President Bush). Former mayor Campbell was being tried on several charges mostly for his numerous criminal indulgences. He has excused himself BLAMING RACISM, didn’t do it, misunderstanding, etc., etc., etc. Except for tax evasion, a lenient jury ruled in his favor. It seems ml thinks Campbell is going to jail with his same attitudes. I have my doubts. I don’t think the judge has handed down a sentence yet.

Bush ties Iran to roadside bombs in Iraq Mar 13 2:49 PM US/Eastern
US President George W. Bush directly linked Tehran to roadside bombings against US forces in Iraq, stepping up his criticisms of Iran amid a tense standoff over its nuclear program.
“Tehran has been responsible for at least some of the increasing lethality of anti-coalition attacks by providing Shia militia with the capability to build improvised explosive devices in Iraq,” Bush said in a speech.
US military intelligence sources said the weapons have been traced to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard or Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militia in Lebanon.
Last week, US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld directly accused the Islamic government in Tehran for the first time of sending Iranian Revolutionary Guard into Iraq to make trouble.
This war is starting to look very un”civil.”

Feingold Draws Little Support for Censure Mar 13 7:14 PM US/Eastern
By LAURIE KELLMAN Associated Press Writer
Democrats distanced themselves Monday from Wisconsin Sen. Russell Feingold’s effort to censure President Bush over domestic spying, preventing a floor vote that could alienate swing voters.
Republicans dared Democrats to vote for the proposal.

Badgering Bush
New York Sun Editorial March 14, 2006
Senator Frist, the Republican leader, was yesterday calling Senator Feingold’s bluff, pressing for a full Senate vote on a resolution introduced by the Badger State Democrat that would censure President Bush for warrantless wiretapping of conversations between foreign terrorists and Americans. That would put Democrats on record about how strongly they oppose the wiretaps, which polls show a majority of Americans support. It would make the Democrats look weak on national security just at a moment when the Democrats had succeeded in using the Dubai issue to, for once, appear more hawkish than Mr. Bush on the war on terrorism.
The Democrats were doing what they could last night to avoid such a vote, and they hardly seemed to be rallying around the Badger State Democrat’s proposal. Another censure resolution introduced in the House by Rep. John Conyers of Michigan focuses not on the wiretapping but on Abu Ghraib and intelligence on Iraq. Mr. Conyers has amassed only 15 other congressmen as co-sponsors of that resolution, including that notorious crackpot Cynthia McKinney of Georgia (Homegirl!) and, sadly, New York City’s own extremist and out-of-touch Jerrold Nadler, Major Owens, Charles Rangel, and Carolyn Maloney. That Mr. Nadler and Ms. Maloney, who represent Manhattan, which was attacked on September 11, 2001, would fall for this sort of stunt is particularly disappointing.

Nice to see ML address “victim” mentality. Another Dem grab of a Rep issue, of course. With Dubai, they managed to wrest away Rep dominance of “security”; now they can work on the “accountability” angle. Since this administration has handed them these issues on a silver platter, Dems should be very thankful to GWB. He’s the only succinct argument for a Dem President/Congress that there could possibly be. Reps are smart enough to distance themselves from this boat anchor; sadly, they appear to be a day late and a dollar short in that regard!

March 14, 2006 Myths of Iraq By Ralph Peters
During a recent visit to Baghdad, I saw an enormous failure. On the part of our media. The reality in the streets, day after day, bore little resemblance to the sensational claims of civil war and disaster in the headlines.
No one with first-hand experience of Iraq would claim the country’s in rosy condition, but the situation on the ground is considerably more promising than the American public has been led to believe. Lurid exaggerations and instant myths obscure real, if difficult, progress.
I left Baghdad more optimistic than I was before this visit. While cynicism, political bias and the pressure of a 24/7 news cycle accelerate a race to the bottom in reporting, there are good reasons to be soberly hopeful about Iraq’s future.
I wonder why the media would mislead us?

Stanford University gives the Allan Cox medal each year for faculty excellence in guiding student research. Cox was a professor of geophysics and dean of the school of earth sciences at Stanford. He committed suicide in 1987 while under investigation for sexually molesting the son of a former student. The molesting allegedly went on for five years, starting when the boy was 14.
One of the most elegant prep schools, Phillips Exeter Academy, gives an annual Edmund E. Perry Award for “diversity and cultural awareness.” Perry was an outstanding black student at Phillips Exeter who was shot to death in Harlem while trying to mug a plainclothes cop.

Despite this convincing evidence that the tax cut worked, and that the economy has consistent and robust forward momentum, there are still many who feel as if this economic recovery is fragile.
The laundry list of worries is long: High and rising energy prices, a large and growing trade deficit, budget deficits, rising interest rates, a slowdown in housing, consumer debt levels, layoffs, and pension problems make up part of the list.
But, none of these so-called problems has ever killed a recovery in the past, despite the fact that they have been feared for a very long time.
Our forecasting methodology concludes that there are really only four threats to the economy that investors should worry about: 1) Tax hikes. 2) Protectionism. 3) Government spending and regulation. 4) Bad monetary policy.

Does Feingold think the terrorists have a constitutional right to kill us?:
I know of nothing that Russ Feingold has proposed to make this nation safer from terrorists. He was the lone vote against the original Patriot Act and opposed recently renewing the watered down version. He opposes the president’s exercise of his legitimate and traditional constitutional authority to intercept enemy communications during war. He opposes aggressive interrogation of al Qaeda terrorists detained at Guantanamo Bay. In fact, there’s no record of Feingold supporting any measure that would protect this country from another 9/11. We haven’t been hit since then, no thanks to Feingold.
Moreover, for all of Feingold’s self-serving pronouncements about civil liberties, he (and his friend John McCain) have done more to damage the Bill of Rights than anything war-on-terror related, i.e., he is the co-author of the most egregious assault on political speech — the McCain-Feingold Bill — since the early Sedition Act, which, among other things, cost President John Adams his reelection (and defeated the entire Federalist Congress).

My aunt was telling me the other day, all the news will talk about is the president’s polls. They start with that, they linger over it, they savor it. The lower the numbers, the better, of course.
This fascination with the polls is interesting, especially in the second term. Bush is determined to do what’s right, not necessarily what’s popular. (I hate to sound like a kindergarten teacher, but you remember the title of that onetime bestseller: “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in …”) It used to be, people admired a leader who did what he thought was right, popularity be damned. In other words, indifference to popularity was, in a way … popular.

FRIST DARES DEMS: MORE CENSURE TALK Tue Mar 14 2006 08:11:04 ET
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist plans to push Democrats for a vote of censure against President Bush! After facing down Senator Russ Feingold’s censure bill on Monday and seeing Democrats of all ranks fold, Frist thinks it’s time to call Democrats on their antics, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. “He pushed them to the mat today, and they blinked,” said one Frist associate. “He dared them to vote, and Democrat Leader Harry Reid looked like he was going to be sick as he said ‘No.”’ Frist is going to continue to dare Democrats to vote on censuring the President. “When it comes to intercepting phone calls from Tora Bora to Topeka, Frist thinks Senate Democrats have made a huge blunder, and he will lead the charge to make Democrats put up or shut up on censure,” the top insider claimed.

LS&L,
I do not know if you are every going to learn this, but in general the complaint with Bush is not that he is too conservative, it had always been he is incompetent. He shows it daily in one miscue after the next. His poll numbers being down are not fabrications, each poll has a degree of error, but it looks like he is now in the mid 30s. Stop this denial and accept it. Doing the right thing does not always make you popular, but consistently doing the wrong thing usually does make you unpopular.
Bush is becoming a greater liability daily. He does not have the support of the country or the congress, and that makes him weak. Look at Iran and North Korea ignore him. For the security of this country, he should step down.

My Beliefs:
Constitution is the supreme law of the land, if you are in violation, or need to find loopholes, you are doing the wrong thing.
Fiscally responsible spending, hold congress accountable for the budget, using Veto power if needed.

The failed negotiations weren’t with the Taliban, they were with the rest of the world, who almost universally supported our war on terrorism after September 11. Our attack on Iraq had nothing to do with September 11th and everything to do with our stated geopolitical goals of “establishing a permanent military presence in the Persian Gulf.” The biggest con of the 21st century is that the war on Iraq was necessary because of September 11th. It had been planned before Bush was even elected and September 11th was the pretext for launching it.

Failed diplomacy covers both sides of the street. Not all failures can be attributed to our unwillingness to engage in diplomatic solutions. Sometimes the other side makes it impossible. There is a glimmer of hope in Iran. There are some people there intelligent enough not to blindly follow their president who are starting to make noises against his extremist policies.

BD, I know thinking isn’t really your strong suit, but how do you think a radical was elected to lead Iran. Lets break it down for you:
Iran was lead by Khatami, a reformer elected in the 90s who pushed for a more open secular govt. In his time Iran became more open and initiated informal dialougue with the US, similar to the ping pong diplomacy with china in the 70s, this was focused on wrestling. Anyway Iran had a growing middle class and the clerics and imams were losing power.
2001, the WTC are hit, mixed reaction in Iran, some celebrate the attack, some come out to denounce the attack. GWB a few month later calls Iran part of the axis of evil, even though they have not attacked the US, have no nuclear weapons program, and pose no threat to the US at that time.
3 countries were named as the axis of evil, we invaded one of them. What happened in Iran; they became more nationalistic and fearful, so the next oppertunity to vote they elected a radical that we have to deal with today. These things do not happen in a vaccum. We have Adminijad (sp) to deal with now because of the fear and threats we inflicted upon Iran.

Thursday January 17, 2002 U.S. Traces Iran’s Ties to Terror Through a Lebanese By JAMES RISEN
One of the world’s most wanted men has been operating for years with the protection and backing of the Iranian intelligence services.
The US Department of State’s report “Patterns of Global Terrorism: 1997,” released in April 1998, states that “notwithstanding some conciliatory statements in the months after President Khatami’s inauguration in August 1997, Iran remains the most active state sponsor of terrorism [from a list of seven governments accused of sponsoring international terrorism]. There is no evidence that Iranian policy has changed, and Iran continues both to provide significant support to terrorist organizations and to assassinate dissidents abroad.”

Dr Strangedeal Mar 9th 2006 From “The Economist” print edition
Congress should veto George Bush’s nuclear agreement with India
Good article and on the surface appears reasonable. Problem is that India really doesn’t need the U.S. to advance its’ nuclear program. They have developed thorium cycle breeder reactors and have vast natural thorium reserves. Since the end product of this cycle is a nearly pure fissionable isotope, this would be a disaster in terms of non-proliferation efforts. By giving the Indians an alternative, the President is simply selecting the best of many less than ideal options that are available to us. Where he screwed the goose is in not having brokered the same deal with Pakistan when he had the chance. As the article mentions, now China will in all probability broker that same deal instead.

They gathered on Oct. 19 for a ritual known to thousands of New York co-op owners, the annual meeting. The board president, Richard Cohen, and his wife, the newscaster Paula Zahn, threw open their second-floor apartment overlooking Central Park for the occasion. Quickly, the discussion focused on a huge and untidy red-tailed hawk, known famously as Pale Male, which had been nesting on the building’s facade for a decade.
The nest, board members said, had to go. There would be no vote among shareholders. Several people familiar with the discussions said it was Mr. Cohen who had headed the effort, even though his wife had once proclaimed her affection for the birds on television.

It’s a bit difficult to discuss why Iran is run by mad mullahs without mentioning the name: Jimmy Carter.
For you to claim that Bush pushed them over the edge to extremism is absurd.
About Khatami:
No Mephistophelian professor or conniving Dr Faustus today rooting for President Khatami will be able to deceive us into forgoing our common sense and losing time and energy on reforming and mending a ship that is sailing our country closer and closer to the edge of doom
And:
President Khatami stood by and watched as his interior minister Abdollah Nouri was thrown into jail. He stayed silent in the face of mass closures of reformist newspapers and imprisonment, torture and murder of many journalists, students and political activists. In fact Khatami’s 2 terms in office is a sad tale of missed opportunities and callous indifference to the appalling human rights violations by the regime. At every crunch point, Khatami chose to align himself with the hated supreme leader and his henchmen rather than his constituents, the Iranian people. It is unfortunate that some quarters in the Western press are still portraying Khatami as a democrat. Such portrayals are purely based on his words and not his deeds
And:
And here we learn how totally disillusioned the Iranians are “Lock, stock and barrel”
Not one of these people blame Bush; in fact when the subject is mentioned, they applaud our use of a “stick” over the E.U.’s decades long use of a “carrot”.

Kurtlar vadisi: Irak /// Valley of the Wolves: Iraq (2006) Bittorrent Download
Directed by Serdar Akar
“Valley of the Wolves Iraq” opens with a true story: On July 4, 2003, in Sulaymaniyah, northern Iraq, troops from the U.S. Army’s 173rd Airborne Brigade raided and ransacked a Turkish special forces office, threw hoods over the heads of 11 Turkish special forces officers, and held them in custody for more than two days. The Americans said they had been looking for Iraqi insurgents and unwittingly rounded up the Turks because they were not in uniform. Still, the incident damaged Turkish-U.S. relations and hurt Turkish national pride. Turks traditionally idolize their soldiers; most enthusiastically send their sons off for mandatory military service. In the movie, one of the Turkish special forces officers commits suicide to save his honor. His farewell letter reaches Polat Alemdar, an elite Turkish intelligence officer who travels to northern Iraq with a small group of men to avenge the humiliation. There they find a rogue group of U.S. soldiers led by officer Sam William Marshall - played by Zane. In the bloodfest that ensues, the small band of Turks bonds with the people of Iraq and eventually ends American atrocities there, killing Zane and his men in the final scene.
They kill dozens of innocent people with random machine gun fire, shoot the groom in the head, and drag those left alive to Abu Ghraib prison - where a Jewish doctor cuts out their organs, which he sells to rich people in New York, London and Tel Aviv. The movie, which reportedly cost some $10 million, is the latest in a new genre of popular culture that demonizes the United States. It comes on the heels of a novel called “Metal Storm” about a war between Turkey and the U.S., which has been a best seller for months. One recent opinion poll revealed the depth of the hostility in Turkey toward Americans: 53 percent of Turks who responded to the 2005 Pew Global Attitudes survey associated Americans with the word “rude”; 70 percent with “violent”; 68 percent with “greedy”; and 57 percent with “immoral.” Advance tickets are already selling out across Turkey for the film, which has dialogue in Turkish, Arabic, Kurdish and English. In addition to Turkey, the film is set to be shown in more than a dozen other countries - including the United States, Britain, Germany, The Netherlands, Britain, Denmark, Russia, Egypt, Syria and Australia. The movie’s American stars are Billy Zane, who plays a self-professed “peacekeeper sent by God,” and Gary Busey as the Jewish-American doctor. U.S. soldiers have become hate figures in Muslim countries around the world after the unpopular war in Iraq. But here in Turkey, a personal grudge fuels the resentment.
Turkey is our staunch ally. You can imagine how much the Iraqis really love us when our backs are turned. The entire radical Islamic world is not worth one more drop of American blood. Pull out now and let ‘em slaughter each other, good riddance!

Oh how some want to put off the inevitable by allowing the corrupted Oil for Food Program to continue.
“Saddam’s primary goal from 1991 to 2003 was to have UN sanctions lifted, while maintaining the security of the Regime. He sought to balance the need to cooperate with UN inspections—to gain support for lifting sanctions—with his intention to preserve Iraq’s intellectual capital for WMD with a minimum of foreign intrusiveness and loss of face. Indeed, this remained the goal to the end of the Regime, as the starting of any WMD program, conspicuous or otherwise, risked undoing the progress achieved in eroding sanctions and jeopardizing a political end to the embargo and international monitoring.”
“The introduction of the Oil-For-Food program (OFF) in late 1996 was a key turning point for the Regime. OFF rescued Baghdad’s economy from a terminal decline created by sanctions. The Regime quickly came to see that OFF could be corrupted to acquire foreign exchange both to further undermine sanctions and to provide the means to enhance dual-use infrastructure and potential WMD-related development.”
Fortunately for America, we no longer have to worry about Saddam and his intentions. Also, we have troops next door to Iran.

Your no WMD link is interesting too.
“Saddam believed that the United States was a paper tiger and that France and Russia would protect him,” Foreign Affairs wrote.
That was the problem with the final UN resolution the “illegal war” crowd points to.
“Ignorant of military history, logistics, and technology, Saddam lived in a bubble due to the atmosphere of fear he had had instilled throughout his civil and military bureaucracies,” the magazine said. Therefore, “once the war actually began, its ultimate result was a foregone conclusion.”
I thought he was an all around nice guy if we would have just left him alone.
The article confirms recent assessments that Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction before he was toppled, but it says that he wanted others to suspect he might. “In the last months before the war he realized that it was too dangerous to continue playing this double game and finally decided to cooperate fully with international inspectors. But at that point his track record of repeatedly lying meant that no one believed him,” Foreign Affairs said.

Seriously, Valerie Wilson was a, check this out clown, weapons of mass destruction analyst. How’s that for your average “it’s a small world” moment? And she even sent her dear hubby, a man who “voted” for Bush, off to discredit WMD claims by sipping mint tea with the locals, who probably humored him I can imagine.

On July 4, 2003, in Sulaymaniyah, northern Iraq, troops from the U.S. Army’s 173rd Airborne Brigade raided and ransacked a Turkish special forces office, threw hoods over the heads of 11 Turkish special forces officers, and held them in custody for more than two days. The Americans said they had been looking for Iraqi insurgents and unwittingly rounded up the Turks because they were not in uniform. Still, the incident damaged Turkish-U.S. relations and hurt Turkish national pride.
Further evidence that these people get their feelings hurt very easily and are more worried about “pride” than life itself.
As for all this stuff about Jewish doctors cutting out organs to sell to rich New Yorkers, I need more evidence than the usual “Jews are pigs and monkeys” stuff that is taken as fact in certain parts of the world.

Two Allies, Two Angles New Film in Turkey, America’s ‘24’ Reflect Uneasy Relations, Divergent Perspectives
By Karl Vick Washington Post Foreign Service Tuesday, February 14, 2006; Page A12
ISTANBUL — In “Valley of the Wolves: Iraq,” U.S. soldiers shoot small children at point-blank range, harvest kidneys from Iraqi prisoners for shipment to Tel Aviv, blow a Muslim cleric out of his minaret and, to top it all off, display utter contempt for Turkish foreign policy. The feature film set a box office record in its first weekend, after opening in more theaters than any movie in Turkish history.
Meanwhile, the American television series “24” did not open at all in Turkey last fall, despite high ratings over the three previous seasons for agent Jack Bauer and the swashbuckling Counter-Terrorist Unit. The problem: In season four, the terrorists intent on destroying America were Turks.

You are warping my views to fit some simplistic vacuous stereotype. To suggest that people like me are sympathetic to Stalin, Pol Pot, Kim Jong Il, Mao, etc. is absolute slander. As is your implication that we cheer everytime an American dies. We care a lot more about keeping Americans alive than you do.
Most of the world doubted Iraq’s WMDs, and in any case, didn’t think it was worth the money and blood of an invasion before the facts were known.
Bush, goaded by neocons who wanted Iraq overrun even before 9/11, abandoned prudence, eschewed facts, ignored intelligence contrary to the neocon agenda, and launched a huge military offensive.
Americans were promised a quick and cheap victory for a worthy cause.
Wrong on all, and I mean all counts.
Incredible arrogance, unfathomable stupidity, and treasonable deception.

THIS IS WHAT PASSES FOR A “TRUE STORY” according to Like it Really Is/March 14, 2006 05:15 PM:
*But the film also reflects deep skepticism about U.S. intentions, which opinion polls show is common among Muslim countries. In one scene, a man wearing the black coat, fedora and earlocks of a Hasidic Jew gets up and walks out of a restaurant moments before Polat reveals that the place is wired to explode. The moment slyly evokes not one but two conspiracy theories often heard in Muslim societies: that no Jews died in the World Trade Center because they had warning, and that Israeli agents are hard at work in northern Iraq, helping the Kurds.
A woman in Istanbul passes a sign advertising the new Turkish film “Valley of the Wolves: Iraq,” **a fictional story based on the Iraq war that shows Americans committing atrocities. (By Murad Sezer — Associated Press)
*The villain is an U.S. Special Forces commander (Billy Zane) who keeps a mural of the Last Supper on his office wall and declares, “I am the son of God.” His snarling, homicidal A-team, wearing gold chains and mohawks, are only the most aggressive Americans in a movie that relentlessly reinforces the image of the United States as a country in love with killing.
“Unfortunately, that is the perception, rightly or wrongly, and this perception is fueled by the European perception as well, which is not too much different”*

I doubt finch’s sincerity, especially when he says things such as this:
Americans were promised a quick and cheap victory for a worthy cause.
Here’s your President and what he “promised” a week before the invasion:
One of the things we love in America is freedom. If I may, I’d like to remind you what I said at the State of the Union: liberty is not America’s gift to the world, it is God’s gift to each and every person. And that’s what I believe. I believe that when we see totalitarianism, that we must deal with it. We don’t have to do it always militarily. But this is a unique circumstance, because of 12 years of denial and defiance, because of terrorist connections, because of past history.
I’m convinced that a liberated Iraq will be — will be important for that troubled part of the world. The Iraqi people are plenty capable of governing themselves. Iraq is a sophisticated society. Iraq’s got money. Iraq will provide a place where people can see that the Shia and the Sunni and the Kurds can get along in a federation. Iraq will serve as a catalyst for change, positive change.
So there’s a lot more at stake than just American security, and the security of people close by Saddam Hussein. Freedom is at stake, as well, and I take that very seriously.
I appreciate that question a lot. First, for those who urge more diplomacy, I would simply say that diplomacy hasn’t worked. We’ve tried diplomacy for 12 years. Saddam Hussein hasn’t disarmed, he’s armed.
And we live in a dangerous world. We live in new circumstances in our country. And I hope people remember the — I know they remember the tragedy of September the 11th, but I hope they understand the lesson of September the 11th. The lesson is, is that we’re vulnerable to attack, wherever it may occur, and we must take threats which gather overseas very seriously. We don’t have to deal with them all militarily. But we must deal with them. And in the case of Iraq, it is now time for him to disarm. For the sake of peace, if we have to use our troops, we will.
Just because finch is too stupid to understand what he is being told doesn’t mean we have to be.

b- Bush invades, no WMD found.
c- CIA, the Central Intelligence Agency, has no idea where the WMD is at!! So instead of analyzing the documents captured from Saddam during the invasion, they attack Scooter Libby.
The Conservatives at Weekly Standard, sensing that the CIA is anti Bush, calls for the documents to be released, so that they can analyze them, seeing how the CIA is paralyzed with fear of Dick Cheney.
No, this is not Bush’s fault. He tried to correct the CIA once, it got his administration it’s own special prosecutor. He probably figures now that if the people and the media of the United States don’t mind a traitorous intelligence agency, why should he care about it?

You are either “with us our against us” is right when it comes to the Iraq.
So, the strategic thing to do after people from all over the Middle East attack us on our homeland is to leave Saddam under the supervision of the UN?
Contain terrorism by embracing the sympathy of 9/11, is what many liberals will tell me. But, then we would be trusting dozens of foreign government’s intelligence.
Call me crazy, but after 9/11 I think it was wise to figure islamic terrorist to be extremely proud people. So proud that they would see any “Saddam” of the world running willy-nilly over the UN as a weakness. Maybe they would even call us a paper tiger cause “we the people” are pansies who would rather put things off till the fight would be much more deadly.
I would further say we should change the next generations’ mindset of Middle Easterners by liberating them from a viscous dictator, who managed the peace by executing and torturing all dissidents. But hey, we can get a poll of some Sunni who say they were better of under Saddam, not saying anyone said anything about polls.
Many liberals in here who say we were lied to either forgot the threat Saddam posed in 1998, before the inspectors got the “boot”. But they will take you on a nuanced week long ride that brings them right back to arguing the UN should still be in charge of managing Saddam’s dictatorship.

RE,
Allow me to re-post what I said. Pay careful attention to the word PHONY:
*It is the shameless, phony anti-war protestors who don’t give a damn about our soldiers, who never shed a tear for a one of them, who exploit their deaths for p.r. purposes.
It is they who are never accountable for anything. The appeasers of Islamofascists, and totalitarian rule, they are filled with grand delusions and so-called “good intentions”. They and their role-models have the deaths of millions under the Stalins, Pol Pots, Mao’s, Mugabwe’s and others to be held accountable for.
They yearn for the defeat of George Bush, Capitalism, Christianity, and Western Civilization. Meanwhile, the mullahs are standing by, just waiting for our defeat.
Utopia at last! *
Which was in response to this gem from finch:
Republicans are not distressed by the deaths of more than 2,300 Americans in Iraq, many of whom ( most of whom) lost their lives needlessly fighting a war that should have been over long ago. Republicans are not distressed by the wounded or the widowed or the orphaned or the merely haunted who will, on account of combat, never get another good night’s sleep.
So RE, my response was not directed at finch, but at PHONY anti-war protestors. Little did I know that finch considers to be himself one of them.
And while there is documentary evidence to support my link of PHONY anti-war protestors to Marxism and its sorry past, what finch posted was Opinion, and nothing but opinion.

Suck, you are really out of touch with reality. You are saying the CIA decided to not look at the documents collected in the invasion, instead to go off on an attack on the whitehouse. By the way, Libby is accused of purjury, not leaking the name of a covert agent. Fitz was pretty smart on those charges, there would be no need at all for classified documents to be exposed by keeping the charges limited to purjury, but the defense still managed to try to subpoena classified documents anyway, how they could disprove he lied, I have no clue. And how did he try to “correct” the CIA by releasing a covert ops name.

Speaking of which:
President George W. Bush has made clear in recent weeks his displeasure with the delays in getting the information out to the American public. On February 16, one day after ABC News broadcast excerpts of recordings featuring Saddam Hussein and his war cabinet, Bush met with congressional Republicans and several senior national security officials and said three times that the documents should be released. “This stuff ought to be out,” he told National Security Adviser, Stephen Hadley. “Put this stuff out.” It seems Bush will soon get his wish.
So now Bush will get a pinko investigation for speaking rudely to CIA. Or maybe for letting the WMD truth get out.

Bush Sets Target for Transition In Iraq Country’s Troops to Take Lead This Year
Not bad for a country in the midst of an “unwinnable” “civil war.”
By Peter Baker Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, March 14, 2006; Page A01
President Bush vowed for the first time yesterday to turn over most of Iraq to newly trained Iraqi troops by the end of this year, setting a specific benchmark as he kicked off a fresh drive to reassure Americans alarmed by the recent burst of sectarian violence.
Bush, who until now has resisted concrete timelines as the Iraq war dragged on longer than he expected, outlined the target in the first of a series of speeches intended to lay out his strategy for victory. While acknowledging grim developments on the ground, Bush declared “real progress” in standing up Iraqi forces capable of defending their nation.
“As more capable Iraqi police and soldiers come on line, they will assume responsibility for more territory with the goal of having the Iraqis control more territory than the coalition by the end of 2006,” he said in a speech to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. “And as Iraqis take over more territory, this frees American and coalition forces to concentrate on training and on hunting down high-value targets like the terrorist [Abu Musab al-] Zarqawi and his associates.”
The president made no commitments about withdrawing U.S. troops, but he repeated his general formula that Americans could come home as Iraqis eventually take over the fight. He also used the speech to urge Iraqis to form a unity government three months after parliamentary elections, and he accused Iran of providing explosives to Shiite militias attacking U.S. forces in Iraq.

A classic conservative would have answered your hawk/Saddam choice thusly. None of the above.
The hawks will survive. They’re not an endangered species, despite which Suck claims.
Iraq? Saddam wasn’t a threat to the US, so why bother? He was a far more serious threat to Saudi Arabia, but the noble leaders there refused to let US warplanes use it as a base for attacks. Turkey, another Iraqi neighbor, was equally uncooperative. If these nations weren’t threatened by Saddam, why was the US?
Maybe because they realized that Saddam was already drowning in his own stink. It was just a matter of time.
So don’t attack Saddam! No nation building! No benevolent hegemony! Sooner or later, Saddam would get his, just as all despots do.
If Saddam’s torture did justify an invasion (absolute anathema to a true conservative) then the US should attack North Korea, among other nations, where human rights are also non-existent. In case you haven’t guessed, I’m against this idea.
Of course, you can’t change the past. The Colin Powell “Pottery Barn” rule lives. You break it? It’s yours. The US can’t leave now. It must do whatever it can to bring peace and a civilized government to Iraq.
If the US had waited until Iraq inevitably imploded, it could have led a true international coalition to restore peace and stability. But noooooo…. stupid neocons drunk with power and far too convinced of their own “moral superiority” decided to make history. And they are. In ways they obviously never imagined.
Now we’re stuck. George Bush’s tar baby is America’s tar baby.

*No one can say with any certainty what will come from the document release. Intelligence officials with knowledge of the exploitation process estimate that less than 4 percent of the overall document collection has been fully exploited. It’s reasonable to assume that documents in the collection will provide support to both supporters of the war in Iraq and critics. Summaries of the exploited materials, listed in a U.S. government database known as HARMONY, suggest that the new material will at least complicate the overly simplified conventional wisdom that the former Iraqi regime posed no real threat.

So finch, I must not be conservative. Not in your eyes at least. You see, I would think that Saudi Arabia and Turkey would feel safe as they are largely Muslim nations.
However, I would not choose to trust Saddam’s “secret service” to keep WMD’s out of the hands of bad guys. You know Saddam was planning to reconstitute programs after sanctions ended, right? Anyway, he may not keep them out of the hands of our enemies. I wouldn’t normally say that terror and human rights would be a reason to invade countries that haven’t violated over a dozen UN Resolutions, but Iraq had. Iraq also destabilized the region and that is what the UN Resolutions spoke of doing – stabilizing the region. Not to mention, if the Iraq Government stands it will symbolize the generosity of America, cause we’ll be mostly off petroleum by then. Just need to figure out a new way to make plastic.
