Here the explosive NewsMax.com tape that Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly called "a journalistic coup."

The media know what a festering pustule of corruption they have been propping up these past ten years. To blow the lid on Bubba's incompetence would be to highlight their complicity. Besides, they wouldn't turn on one of their own, while he is so useful.

The media will prop up the Klintoon's forever. Sheesh, Klintoon lets OBL slip thru his hands and then blames Bush.

You know, Tumbleweed....you've pushed some buttons with your posts today.

Is the media being funded by Arabs?

Osama bin Ladin may have been the person who organized and led the assault on the WTC and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, but Saddam Hussein was one of his benefactors and gave him protective cover, before and after the events of that day. The other major benefactor, or course, was Saudi Arabia, but by punishing Saddam, the lesson shall not be lost on the Saudis.

The Iraqis are weary unto death of the antics of Saddam Hussein, who represents a minority within Iraq. Sensibly, perhaps Iraq should be three countries, as there are three major (and mutually hostile) ethnic groups, the Kurds, the Sunni, and the Shi'ites, all Muslim, but also at each other's throats when there is nothing else to occupy their time and thoughts.

Iran is a different kettle of fish entirely, as the people of that country, while Muslim, are also Farsi, who speak a different language, have an entirely different history, and have at least some semblence of representative government based on a legitimate code of law in their past, which is something that has not been known in Iraq since about the time of Hammurabi. Given that there were a change of regime in Iraq, the Iranians would undertake their own election quickly enough. Such a chain of events may not bode well for the Saudis at all.

Once Saddam is gone, I just cannot see a down side on the long term.
