When the Dungeon Doors Swing Open...
various FR links | 04-09-03 | The Heavy Equipment Guy

Posted on 04/09/2003 5:13:14 PM PDT by backhoe

Over the past few months I have noticed and noted a repeated question from FR members:
 
"What will they
( the appeasers, enablers, obstructionists and refusenicks of the Left )
do when the dungeon doors of Saddam's criminal regime swing open and the victims of his brutality pour out and tell their tales to a horrified world?"
 
Let's cull some links from our posts here:

I assume that that is one of the main reason that the other Arab nations are so upset about this going on in Iraq; as I have said before, freedom looks mighty good on a satelite dish.
 
 
 
 
As each new day exhibits more of Saddam's horrors for the world to see, and the coalition is vindicated, rather than relief I am filled with a sense of smoldering anger.

Where was Ahmed's despair over all of this: http://iraqcenter.com/english/photos.html during SH reign? I would insert images here directly; but I think they are too disturbing. I left the link for all to decide to look at it. Some of the pics are extremely graphic as a warning.

...the exclusive on al-Qurairy's brutal history of-rape, torture, and mass murder, his training of a previously unknown elite force called al-Qare'a - including an untraceable 30-commando unit that left Iraq a year ago and his strong belief that Iraq was involved in the September 11 attacks

Something terrible happened here. Something murderous

Shocking that a reporter from the Observer was this honest; but we have had these images on our television screens in Britain for much of the day.

You know what though?

None of this matters to the Leftists. Nothing here will disuade them this wasnt about oil....and they will just show you gruesome pictures of tragic collatoral damage...

They will all say: of course we knew Saddam's regime was evil....but look what we did...

None of this will matter to the leftist...

The moderate Liberals are already convinced...look at the polls

Great job By the Way!

Mega bump

Bless you backhoe for thinking ahead. This is also a memorial to remind us, in part, why our soldiers fought and died. The evil here must not be forgotten.

To: Freedom'sWorthIt; All
I had originally planned to title this "Storming the Dungeons..." and write a little essay drawing parallels between current events in Iraq and how many years ago a band of warriors, now old men, or dead, had stormed Fortress Europe, and how the stench of Pure Evil had come wafting into their noses.

About how there had been hints and stories told for years, and how we looked away then, and did not want to see or hear-- but then reality and facts got in the way of that blissful ignorance...

In the end I did not write this for I just got overloaded by scrolling back through all those links.

I have discussed privately with my wife how I think Saddam and his regime are actually worse than most modern dictatorships, except maybe Pol Pot's...
