		<description>SPC Richardson:

How utterly perfect.  It is very comforting to see you in the neighborhood.  And it should give *some* jihadis who spew their taqiyya trash here - along with issuing occasional threats to people like kat and me - a bit of pause.

I have never been more proud to be an American.  To all our guys and gals fighting the WOT, you have my deep gratitude and prayers for your well being.  Thank you for your service, kind sir.</description>

		<description>Hi there Buzz Machine.  I&#039;m not here to comment on any political correctness or policy decisions.  But I have a suggestion for you and your readers.  You may want to check out and possibly link Central Commands website at www.centcom.mil .  It has all the latest news (good or bad) from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.  It includes &quot;hard to find stories&quot; and photos, Press releases, Casualty updates, and an interesting &quot;what extremists are saying&quot; section.  Just an idea.

All the best,

		<description>ok, here&#039;s the ultimate test of objectivity:

answer me this one lady:

aside from the fact he is our mortal enemy, why do YOU oppose usama bin laden and al qaeda?

humor me please and answer the question.</description>

		<description>&quot;Islamofascism doesnâ€™t exist.&quot;

I never said that. But we&#039;re most definitely not fighting it. Where do you get your information? The former head of the CIA&#039;s bin Laden Unit is my source. I suppose you are more content believing a former baseball executive. That&#039;s fine, but it&#039;s also wrong.</description>

		<description>Only ones engaged in a campaign of global hegemony are islamists--like Darfur and Ambon for instance--genociding the inhabitants to establish a muslim state.
However, you likely also believe that al queda doesn&#039;t exist--it&#039;s those jooos.
You are a good dhimmi but calling yourself &#039;an american says&#039; is deceitful...try &#039;a jihadist says&#039;.......allah and osama would prefer that.

		<description>&quot;but weâ€™re not fighting â€œislamofacistsâ€. weâ€™re engaging in a campaign of global hegemony.&quot;

Right, &quot;&quot;&quot;American&quot;&quot;&quot;.

Islamofascism doesn&#039;t exist.

9/11 didn&#039;t happen.

Gut blowing (thanks, kat), head lopping and killing of innocents on every continent of the globe is NOT taking place in the name of The Religion of Pieces.

Muslims aren&#039;t killing Muslims.

Sharia law doesn&#039;t exist.

And the Islamofascistnazi quest for a global Caliphate is a Chimera.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;lady, if you knew the horrors of what we have wrought upon the people of Iraq, egging their leader to start a war with Iran&lt;/i&gt;

Please. &quot;We wrought&quot;?  Get a grip past the melodrama. Saddam wrought, for starters. But, I suppose that a self-loathing American such as yourself sleeps better at night with the thought that no evil act could not have the hand of America in it. 

And colonizing space as a more pressing need than alleviating misery on earth where and when it&#039;s expedient and practical reveals the soul of a jerk. Curing cancer is rather lame in places where you die young because of dictatorships before age related diseases can effect you. Or maybe you never notice the mass graves of the young in Saddam&#039;s Iraq?  Or the horrendous casualties of Saddam&#039;s Iran war on the young?

&lt;i&gt;youâ€™d take your â€œanalysisâ€ and shove it where the sun donâ€™t shine.&lt;/i&gt;

Ditto to your pathetic melodrama.  Your angry virtucrat at a keyboard rant, as Andy points, out is a bore.</description>

		<description>The money is being spent on fighting the worst cancer in the worldâ€“I read somewhere that Islam is the fastest growing â€˜cancerâ€™ in the world. If civilized people just sit back in silence and let it spread- itâ€™s going to destroy the entire humanity in just a couple of decades. So I figure the money is well spent fighting islamofascists. What good is a cure for cancer if you get blown up by a jihadi spreading his â€˜cancerâ€™. The iraqis need help eradicating that disease.

but we&#039;re not fighting &quot;islamofacists&quot;. we&#039;re engaging in a campaign of global hegemony. we&#039;re making iraq a new colony. are we supporting democratic institutions in egypt, jordan, and saudi arabia? not really. because if we truly did, those countries would have governments that really really were anti-american. 

believe what you want, but you&#039;re wrong.</description>

		<description>&gt; today in a village somewhere in iraq, a fatherâ€™s child was blown to bits by a bomb. that is all you need to know.

Hmm, the person who set that bomb doesn&#039;t matter....  Or, does &quot;Bush is evil&quot; justify anything?  (If so, I want a pony.)

What about the Sudanese person who was chopped to bits today?

I got a hangnail.</description>

		<description>&quot;Please. Your zero ability at analysis and depth is only half as vacuous as your hackneyed prose. Life in general has got to be a crushing burden on someone like you.&quot;
_________________________

lady, if you knew the horrors of what we have wrought upon the people of iraq, egging their leader to start a war with Iran, bombing them in &#039;91, &#039;98, and &#039;03, putting through punishing sanctions throughout the 90&#039;s, and now by inciting all manner of wahabbi salafist jackasses to come to Iraq, you&#039;d take your &quot;analysis&quot; and shove it where the sun don&#039;t shine.
_________________________

&quot;I rest my case.&quot;

Lady, you never made one. you just presented attacks as a refutation of my opinion. but i am not here to change minds. you can keep believing that the expenditure of three hundred billion dollars to effect regime change was a wise decision. i believe the money should have been spent on curing cancer, eliminating poverty, colonizing space, and other more pressing needs.

the neoconservatives chose instead to kill people. that&#039;s a strange choice if you ask me.</description>

		<description>What about the 24,000 LIVES PER YEAR THE IRAQ WAR SAVES ?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1501528/posts

And while they may have not &quot;found&quot; the WMD, all on the list below believed they were there.

If they were never there, how did Saddam gas all those found in the mass graves?  What about the empty factories?

Look at all the people on the left that STATED their belief (rightfully so) that the WMD WERE THERE, and now are acting as if they didn&#039;t.

&quot;[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq&#039;s refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs.&quot; -- From a letter signed by Joe Lieberman, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara A. Milulski, Tom Daschle, &amp; John Kerry among others on October 9, 1998 

&quot;This December will mark three years since United Nations inspectors last visited Iraq. There is no doubt that since that time, Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to refine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer- range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies.&quot; -- From a December 6, 2001 letter signed by Bob Graham, Joe Lieberman, Harold Ford, &amp; Tom Lantos among others 

&quot;Whereas Iraq has consistently breached its cease-fire agreement between Iraq and the United States, entered into on March 3, 1991, by failing to dismantle its weapons of mass destruction program, and refusing to permit monitoring and verification by United Nations inspections; Whereas Iraq has developed weapons of mass destruction, including chemical and biological capabilities, and has made positive progress toward developing nuclear weapons capabilities&quot; -- From a joint resolution submitted by Tom Harkin and Arlen Specter on July 18, 2002 

&quot;Saddam&#039;s goal ... is to achieve the lifting of U.N. sanctions while retaining and enhancing Iraq&#039;s weapons of mass destruction programs. We cannot, we must not and we will not let him succeed.&quot; -- Madeline Albright, 1998 

&quot;(Saddam) will rebuild his arsenal of weapons of mass destruction and some day, some way, I am certain he will use that arsenal again, as he has 10 times since 1983&quot; -- National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, Feb 18, 1998 

&quot;Iraq made commitments after the Gulf War to completely dismantle all weapons of mass destruction, and unfortunately, Iraq has not lived up to its agreement.&quot; -- Barbara Boxer, November 8, 2002 

&quot;The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retained some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capability. Intelligence reports also indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons, but has not yet achieved nuclear capability.&quot; -- Robert Byrd, October 2002 

&quot;There&#039;s no question that Saddam Hussein is a threat... Yes, he has chemical and biological weapons. He&#039;s had those for a long time. But the United States right now is on a very much different defensive posture than we were before September 11th of 2001... He is, as far as we know, actively pursuing nuclear capabilities, though he doesn&#039;t have nuclear warheads yet. If he were to acquire nuclear weapons, I think our friends in the region would face greatly increased risks as would we.&quot; -- Wesley Clark on September 26, 2002 

&quot;What is at stake is how to answer the potential threat Iraq represents with the risk of proliferation of WMD. Baghdad&#039;s regime did use such weapons in the past. Today, a number of evidences may lead to think that, over the past four years, in the absence of international inspectors, this country has continued armament programs.&quot; -- Jacques Chirac, October 16, 2002 

&quot;The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow.&quot; -- Bill Clinton in 1998 

&quot;In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security.&quot; -- Hillary Clinton, October 10, 2002 

&quot;I am absolutely convinced that there are weapons...I saw evidence back in 1998 when we would see the inspectors being barred from gaining entry into a warehouse for three hours with trucks rolling up and then moving those trucks out.&quot; -- Clinton&#039;s Secretary of Defense William Cohen in April of 2003 

&quot;Iraq is not the only nation in the world to possess weapons of mass destruction, but it is the only nation with a leader who has used them against his own people.&quot; -- Tom Daschle in 1998 

&quot;Saddam Hussein&#039;s regime represents a grave threat to America and our allies, including our vital ally, Israel. For more than two decades, Saddam Hussein has sought weapons of mass destruction through every available means. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons. He has already used them against his neighbors and his own people, and is trying to build more. We know that he is doing everything he can to build nuclear weapons, and we know that each day he gets closer to achieving that goal.&quot; -- John Edwards, Oct 10, 2002 

&quot;The debate over Iraq is not about politics. It is about national security. It should be clear that our national security requires Congress to send a clear message to Iraq and the world: America is united in its determination to eliminate forever the threat of Iraq&#039;s weapons of mass destruction.&quot; -- John Edwards, Oct 10, 2002 

&quot;I share the administration&#039;s goals in dealing with Iraq and its weapons of mass destruction.&quot; -- Dick Gephardt in September of 2002 

&quot;Iraq does pose a serious threat to the stability of the Persian Gulf and we should organize an international coalition to eliminate his access to weapons of mass destruction. Iraq&#039;s search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to completely deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power.&quot; -- Al Gore, 2002 

&quot;We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction.&quot; -- Bob Graham, December 2002 

&quot;Saddam Hussein is not the only deranged dictator who is willing to deprive his people in order to acquire weapons of mass destruction.&quot; -- Jim Jeffords, October 8, 2002 

&quot;We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.&quot; -- Ted Kennedy, September 27, 2002 

&quot;There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein&#039;s regime is a serious danger, that he is a tyrant, and that his pursuit of lethal weapons of mass destruction cannot be tolerated. He must be disarmed.&quot; -- Ted Kennedy, Sept 27, 2002 

&quot;I will be voting to give the president of the United States the authority to use force - if necessary - to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security.&quot; -- John F. Kerry, Oct 2002 

&quot;The threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but as I said, it is not new. It has been with us since the end of that war, and particularly in the last 4 years we know after Operation Desert Fox failed to force him to reaccept them, that he has continued to build those weapons. He has had a free hand for 4 years to reconstitute these weapons, allowing the world, during the interval, to lose the focus we had on weapons of mass destruction and the issue of proliferation.&quot; -- John Kerry, October 9, 2002 

&quot;(W)e need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime. We all know the litany of his offenses. He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. ...And now he is miscalculating Americaâ€™s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction. That is why the world, through the United Nations Security Council, has spoken with one voice, demanding that Iraq disclose its weapons programs and disarm. So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but it is not new. It has been with us since the end of the Persian Gulf War.&quot; -- John Kerry, Jan 23, 2003 

&quot;We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandates of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them.&quot; -- Carl Levin, Sept 19, 2002

<p>And while they may have not &#8220;found&#8221; the WMD, all on the list below believed they were there.</p>
<p>If they were never there, how did Saddam gas all those found in the mass graves?  What about the empty factories?</p>
<p>Look at all the people on the left that STATED their belief (rightfully so) that the WMD WERE THERE, and now are acting as if they didn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>&#8220;[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq&#8217;s refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs.&#8221; &#8212; From a letter signed by Joe Lieberman, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara A. Milulski, Tom Daschle, &amp; John Kerry among others on October 9, 1998 </p>
<p>&#8220;This December will mark three years since United Nations inspectors last visited Iraq. There is no doubt that since that time, Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to refine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer- range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies.&#8221; &#8212; From a December 6, 2001 letter signed by Bob Graham, Joe Lieberman, Harold Ford, &amp; Tom Lantos among others </p>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Why should it be different with the Chief Executive Officer of our country when he commits our troops to war?&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;b&gt;He&lt;/b&gt;?  Try they?  Congress and the President committed our troops to Iraq. You and David don&#039;t seem to get that point.  And as far as scrutiny goes that&#039;s what the press and the party of opposition are for.  So how is Bush getting a free ride from them?   

&lt;i&gt;is that too many people have died already. today in a village somewhere in iraq, a fatherâ€™s child was blown to bits by a bomb. that is all you need to know.&lt;/i&gt;

Please.  Your zero ability at analysis and depth is only half as vacuous as your hackneyed prose.  Life in general has got to be a crushing burden on someone like you.  

......&lt;i&gt;now all it fights for are Israel and Ahmad Chalabiâ€™s swiss bank account&lt;/i&gt;

I rest my case.</description>

		<description>And while you&#039;re at it, Kat and Eileen, why don&#039;t you explain to us why it&#039;s repugnant for a Muslim to practice taqiyya but just fine when our own leaders misrepresent the truth in order to get what they want...

Guess what?  Americans don&#039;t like to be lied to or manipulated, no matter how good the government&#039;s intentions were.  As far as the average Iraqi is concerned, I agree with Jeff that at this point it doesn&#039;t really matter how we got there.  But it sure as hell matters here at home.  

You two may not care about having leadership that is transparent and accountable for its actions, but fortunately you are in an ever-shrinking minority nowadays.</description>

		<description>Eileen and Kat,

Read my post again carefully.  Law enforcement officers are subject to the most intense scrutiny WHENEVER THEY DISCHARGE A WEAPON, whether in fact they were justified in doing so or not.  Why should it be different with the Chief Executive Officer of our country when he commits our troops to war?    

Oh yeah, I forgot:  because Bush is God, Islam is the Devil, and anyone who questions this is a taqiyya-practicing terrorist!   

You two should take your show on the road.  No, really.</description>

		<description>Aye yai, Kat,

I was about to say that anyone who endeavors to create supposed analogies to criminals ala Bush, or who uses the term &#039;criminal gangs&#039; or &#039;criminal anything&#039; related to Bush are Those Who Are Hellbent on Talkin&#039; Taqiyya.  Man, they must all read the same memos and view the same videos in their training camps.

Jersey you aren&#039;t even close to becoming a &#039;we&#039;?  Live free or die.  Ever hear that one?  It&#039;s a quaint, old American expression.  We don&#039;t need you here working for our demise or dhimmitization.

Jeff:  Do you actually want this *real* criminal gang hangin&#039; out at your doorstep?</description>

<p>I was about to say that anyone who endeavors to create supposed analogies to criminals ala Bush, or who uses the term &#8216;criminal gangs&#8217; or &#8216;criminal anything&#8217; related to Bush are Those Who Are Hellbent on Talkin&#8217; Taqiyya.  Man, they must all read the same memos and view the same videos in their training camps.</p>
<p>Jersey you aren&#8217;t even close to becoming a &#8216;we&#8217;?  Live free or die.  Ever hear that one?  It&#8217;s a quaint, old American expression.  We don&#8217;t need you here working for our demise or dhimmitization.</p>

		<description>No one in their right minds will vote for pro-terrorist democrats who cajole jihadis and allow them to get away with jihading as Clinton did....the kind of people Jersey wants in power so jihadists can operate freely again... people like the cindy sheehan nutcases.  No one wants another 911 that Clinton enabled.
Terrorists hope and pray for failure in iraq--right, Jersey?</description>

		<description>Huh.  I think I&#039;m actually in agreement with you on this one, Jeff -- with one big caveat.  While it would be shameful to abandon the Iraqis who took us at our word when we said we had come to spread democracy, the people responsible for orchestrating the invasion of Iraq should nevertheless answer for their lies.  

Just because a cop thinks he was shooting at an armed perpetrator does not prevent a full investigation and possible disciplinary chargers if that supposed criminal turns out to be an innocent civilian.  Why should it be any different in the case of launching what has proved to be a costly and -- based on the reasons presented before the invasion -- unnecessary war?

As 2006 approaches watch how fast the Republicans will break ranks with the Bush Administration and call for bringing the troops back home without delay, lest they get trounced at the polls by the Dems.  How&#039;s that for irony?  The invasion that was arranged to secure Georgie&#039;s second term as President will either cost the GOP control of Congress or guarantee years of bloody civil war in Iraq (though to be fair, that may happen no matter what).</description>
