The first pillar — that the war in Iraq was a failure without the capture or death of Saddam Hussein — came crashing to an ignominious end Saturday night on a farm near Tikrit.But don't you understand how the left will spin this? They always knew that Saddam would be captured. Saddam's capture changes nothing.
Just like they predicted doom before the war and then after the war changed the party line to: We always knew the US would win the first phase of the war. That means nothing.
In the words of Lieberman, they are living in spider-holes of denial.
(Have to give the old RAT credit, that is a GREAT catch-phrase.)
-- It's no big deal, because he has been too busy hiding and hasn't been ccordinating the attacks anyway. Anyway, he was just a sick old man.
-- A Democrat president would have found him sooner.
-- We already had captured him, and were just hiding the information until it would do the most political good for Bush.
-- The capture will only create more anti-US violence because it will really enrage the terrorists.
-- We are violating his human rights.
-- Finding Osama was the easy part, but how are we going to dismantle world-wide terrorist networks?
-- If he is proven dead, that only means that we executed him without a trial to silence him so the world would never find out about Bush's complicity in 9-11.
When are people going to understand that he was being checked for weapons (as in a sharp object in his hair) and cyanide capsules in his teeth? Above all else, we didn't/don't want him doing what Goering or Himmler did and escaping true justice.
