Thanks. There is a letter to the editor that can be shortened and used by others around the country.

It doesn't matter how many times and how many lists of atrocities the Saddam regime committed or were otherwise involved in or responsible for.

The economic editor for the NYT spoke for all the Democrats, the NYT's when he said on Colbert last night that he thought Saddam was a good guy, and Iraq was a better place with Saddam in power.

These nuts are incapable of rational thought, incapable of truth, and incapable of ANY loyalty, of concern for the safety of this country. They are traitors.

The Democrats are only concerned with one thing, and that is getting back in power at ANY cost, even if it means destroying half the country, putting YOUR lives at risk.
The NYT will tell any lie, publish rigged polls, reveal any national security secret if they think it will damage the current administration.

They belong in prison for their conspiracy in undermining the nation and supporting the enemy in a time of war.

GREAT ARTICLE...thanks for posting this...

Too bad Carl Levin and the other "cut and runners" in Congress won't read it...and instead would probably accuse Hayes of being on Bush's payroll.

Of course Iraq was a terrorist state. It was a fascist Baath Party affair, just as Syria and Egypt are today. Although billions in foreign aid have bought the Mubarak gov't (for the time being, anyhow), Syria is far more belligerent, and always has been.

Now, Iran is stirring the pot. The most basic thing we could accomplish right now is cutting the Iran to Syria supply pipeline to Hezbollah, which unless some inbred goat poker has invented the mass/energy transporter, must either be going through northern Iraq and/or Turkey. One area we supposedly control and the other is one of our Islamic "allies".

It seems the NYT has forgotten David Goldbergs(?) report the was published in the New Yorker way back in the Early Clinton days of Al-Qaeda terrorist camps in Northern Iraq. The Kurds were sending all kinds of intelligence to the CIA, had captured terrorists and were waiting for the CIA to come do something with them. The article included interrogations of these animals, all ignored by MSM which keeps pumping out the LIE that Saddam had no ties to terrorism.

During the Clinton admin, they were completely ignored, as was the offer of the Sudanese to deliver Osama.
NEVER does the NYT's question why that administration ignored the growing terrorist threat, and allowed it to thrive unchecked.
Why? Because the NYT's is traitor to this nation.

The State Dept had Iraq on the terrorist state list for decades.

For most of the American public history begins when they wake up in the morning.

And the MSM likes it that way.

Steven is awesome. I've been following his work on this. What I don't understand is he's a very well known journalist. You'd think someone out there would open this up to the public. A senator, a congressman, Brit on Fox, someone! Sheesh.

Thanks for the tip. Here's the article.

THE GREAT TERROR
In northern Iraq, there is new evidence of Saddam Hussein's genocidal war on the Kurds—and of his possible ties to Al Qaeda.

You are absolutely correct. It never enters their little pea brains that they are not just "undermining" President Bush, but they are, in fact, "undermining" the entire country. They are absolutely some of the dumbest people on the planet for a myriad of reasons.

I just had to go back and check that thread again!! I remembered it was a funny one. (I saw so many names that I haven't seen in a long time. What has happened to everyone? I miss these clever, funny people. Of course, I enjoy all of those that are still here too. ;^)
