will have to read later, too late now. But always glad to read Hayes (a good Wisconsin boy to boot)
Excellent, thanks for posting this.

Summary: From 1999-2002 Iraq trained more than 8,000 terrorists in 4 camps, including Salman Pak, as noted in captured documents and confirmed by 11 US officials.
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".
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.
When this topic comes up, I'm always reminded of this article:
http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/02/12/terror.meeting/
Check the date & the author. Then scroll down & check out the related stories.
No mention of the $10 million Hussein paid to North Korea for missle technology?
I think the poll is telling us that a percentage of the American people believe the current violence in Iraq is not related to the War on Terror.
I don't have any problem linking the WOT to Iraq since AQ is fighting the Americans and the INF in Iraq. But for some reason a lot of Americans (and Canadians) have bought the con job of the drive by media and the Rats.
I think the Administration needs to just keep on coming out and saying over and over that AQ is in Iraq just like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Indonesia etc. and thus, there is a need to stay in Iraq until such time as the INF are strong enough on their own to kick the sh!t out of the terrorists.

Nice piece of work. While not as eloquent as Hayes, I put together my own essay and opinions on this same subject...and why Iraq is perhaps the most important campaign in the WOT:

The idiot left succeeded in implanting ito the American brain that Saddam was "just another 2-bit dictator."
What other current dictator:
---caused the violent deaths of 2 million people?,
---invaded the country to the east of him?
---invaded the country to the south of him?
---launched SCUD missles against civilian populations in Iran, Israel and Saudi Arabia?
---used poison gas against his enemies?
---used poison gas against his own people?
---paid the families of suicide bombers ---and openly, repeatedly boasted about it?
