The ad, produced by Win Without War, will air initially on CNN and other cable networks in Washington and Los Angeles at a cost of $30,000.

What about Baghdad?

"Our message to Washington will be clear," Sheen says in the ad. "Don't invade Iraq. We can contain Saddam Hussein without killing innocent people, diverting us from the war on terrorism and putting us all at risk."

Yeah, just like we "could" cotain Al Queda under the Taliban. Right.

Killing innocent people? Umm...how are the people in Iraq now? (I HATE WHEN THESE MORONS DON'T EVEN CRITISIZE SADDAM FOR HIS ACTIONS)

Diverting us from the war on terrorism? I guess Saddam harboring terrorist groups in his country is not enough, I guess Saddam, being the only leader of the world that did not condemn the 9/11 attacks, is not enough, I guess Saddam giving $25000 to terrorist Palestinian families in the Middle East is not TERRORIST enough. What a bunch of Crap.

This sounds like a "denial of service" terrorist attack.

Anti-War Groups Planning Phone Campaign (LOSERS ALERT!)

What I've noticed on talk radio here in Los Angeles during the past couple of weeks
are a LOT of "Life-long Republicans" calling in to express opposition to Dubya and
bringing Saddam to heel.

Last night, Al Rantel of KABC (790 AM) even caught one "Republican" caller in his
lie when the "Republican" caller said "YOU REPUBLICANS must learn that you are not
always right!".

Rantel was shrewd enought to ask the caller how he could be a Republican...and then use
the term "YOU REPUBLICANS"...
the guy started a nervous laugh...but it was clear that Rantel smoked out a "ringer"
from the anti-freedom/anti-Dubya protestor crowd.

Well, is their a way we can turn the tables? We can overwhelme their communications systems JUST AS EASILY. See, they are operating as nonprofits....so they don't get the 'telemarketing-do not call' protection as issued by the FCC and states.

I have an autorespond. I can organize email campagnes to keep their email systems overloaded. Does anyone want to work with me on this? I am a work at home 'mommy'. I can't go to war in the overseas theatre. But I can enter the communications infrastructure theatre. I am the own of a communications business >:)

Who wants to work with me :)

Sierra Club

Adding to the irony that forcible removal of Saddam is widely unpopular with Muslims, even though Saddam has murdered more Muslims than any other modern political leader, here we have the Sierra Club defending from justice the greatest environmental criminal in modern history.

Are the envidiots unaware of the following crimes of Saddam, all committed quite intentionally?

1) Pumping crude oil into the Persian Gulf, creating the largest oil slick in human history, equivalent to 15 or 20 Exxon Valdez spills? (It would have been even more if the American military had not been able to stop it.)

2) Torching of the Kuwaiti oil fields, poisoning millions of inhabitants of the region, and releasing tons of hydrocarbons into the atmosphere.

3) The complete and systematic destruction, with the draining of the marshes at the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, of the most ecologically diverse and productive biome in the entire region (done to remove hiding places and refuges for the Marsh Arabs, who were then slaughtered in tens to hundreds of thousands, and more internally exiled). These marshes were home to hundreds upon hundreds of species of birds alone, not to mention plants and fishes. There is widespread agreement among Iraqi dissidents and expats that a project to reconstitute and restore the marshes should be undertaken, but this will never occur with Saddam in power.

But I thought going after Saddam is part of the war on terrorism. Guess I was wrong. Thanks for clarifying, Mr. Sheen. You should be the real president. /heavy sarcasm/

This anti-war frenzy is simply a bunch of democrats, socialists, and communists with a rallying point in which to march for, against the election of President Bush - something they still cry themselves to sleep over, nightly. Grow up and get over it! It ain't working!

Years of containment which contained nothing...and now they protest. If they so love Saddam, WHY weren't they protesting when American and British forces bombed Iraqi SAM installations in the no-fly zones? Because they knew Bubba would never take the next step and get rid of the guy who's country has drained so much of our resources for so many years??

Simple solution: decide to temporatily shut down email and the pertinent communications lines for maintainance. The idiots'll think they won...until Ari says "Email and call in campaign? No, I'm not aware of any email or call in campaign. We had that portion of the system shut down for maintainance and upgrading."
