I was watching the news this morning, like I do everyday. And, I caught General David Petraeus as he addressed a House appropriations subcommittee — voicing his concern about recent insurgent “homicide” bombings in Iraq. Gen. Patraeus warned that the progress in Iraq is still “fragile and reversible.” Then, in the background, I saw something a bit peculiar. A small sign rose from the small crowd of spectators, just over the general’s right shoulder. It said “FUND DIPLOMACY, NOT WAR.” Is it sinful to want to punch a stranger in the mouth? Forgive me, Lord.

Why are there so many people that want us to be a weak, pansy-France country that is just asking to be attacked? I don’t get it, what’s the purpose of being “liked” by spineless countries, when terrorist groups pose the greatest threat to our peace? I doubt that Al Qaeda is shaking in their boots because they saw Obama kissing Hugo Chavez square on the keister. They’re probably laughing at us.

Then you have this crap about “waterboarding.” There are actually some folks that still think that it was wrong that we waterboarded Khalid Shaikh Mohammed (9/11 mastermind). Of course, we were able to get information that thwarted future attacks and saved American lives. But, apparently to some people, waterboarding is “torture.” Do you think having your fingers cut off, being electrocuted, having your legs broken, and having water "poured in your face" are all equally, torture? Give me a break. If waterboarding is so “cruel” and despicable, then why do we use it on our own soldiers like Colonel Oliver North? He was routinely waterboarded in military training, and you don’t see him suing the government, do you?

I want my country back. I like the idea that the world fears the wrath of the United States. What’s wrong with that? Do these idiot libtards really think that our enemies will say, “well, we were going to implement a terrorist attack on America, but now that they have become so ‘nice,’ we just can’t follow through with it. LIFE TO AMERICA!” Come on, really? I can’t even fathom what goes on in the anti-war hippie's mind. I know what doesn’t, though — rational thought, reasoning and logic.

“Fund Diplomacy Not War.” What does that mean, anyway? When you were in school, did you know any bullies? How many blokes made peace by walking up to the bully and saying, “excuse me Mr. Bully, but can we just talk this out?” None. Bullies are bullies by definition. They want what they want and have no concern for the people in their way.

So, I suggest we gather up all of the anti-war hippies and send them over to the Middle East, armed with BFF necklaces and copies of “We Are the World.” Then, we would really witness the power of diplomacy.

Earlier this week, I posted some commentary entitled, WMD's found in Iraq.

Last night, I stumbled onto the Discovery blog (www.discovery.org). Bruce Chapman posted an excellent commentary over there entitled, The Truth About Iraq WMD Uncovered, Then Covered Up Again. Chapman highlights in detail the WMD revelation, and subsequent burial, courtesy of the mainstream media. This is required reading for those who want to be adequately informed. Get over there an check it out.

 
WMD’s found in Iraq

Liberwocks continue to labor under an old but effective fiction: that there were no WMD’s in Iraq. The fact that political mythology of this kind is still believed by so many is the reason for this post.

A while ago I was blogging at another site when a liberal cosmonaut wandered in and left this witless comment.

“Bush killed many innocent and young soldiers when he said there was a need to fight in Iraq and Iran. The truth is both these countries never had nuclear weapons of any kind to be of any threat to any country including USA. He should be tried for failing Americans but he got away scott-free.”

The comment is especially entertaining, because it carries with it the message neoliberals wanted everyone to get. You see, they never came out and said there weren’t any WMD’s—just that none had been found. The implication was that since no weapons were found, there never were any to begin with. Makes perfect sense…if you’re a liberal. Anyway, the poor dunce who commented on my post just went ahead and stated “aloud” what the libtard powers that be wanted everyone to think. So, of course, I felt it my solemn duty to confuse him with the facts.

FACT: In June of 2006 the National Ground Intelligence Center, a Defense Department intelligence unit, released portions of a declassified report which stated unequivocally that "Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent."

FACT: In a January 2008 report on 60 minutes, top CIA operative George Piro revealed that Saddam Hussein had phased out his biological weapons program since the 90s but was willing to go to war with the U.S., because he needed to continue the illusion that he had an active WMD program, as a hedge against his arch enemy, Iran. He apparently had no idea that the U.S. was planning such an exhaustive offensive, or he would’ve reconsidered that strategy.

FACT: Saddam was planning on restarting his program on every level (nuclear and biological), approximately one year after U.N. sanctions were lifted. This explains why he was actively approaching North Africa for the procurement of yellow cake. This also explains why 550 metric tons of the stuff was removed from Iraq in 2008 courtesy of the United States of America.

What does it all mean? Well…it means that we can dispense with Bush bashing over the “no WMDs” hoax. There are plenty of other things to be pissed off about concerning Bush Jr, but his grounds for invasion ain't one of 'em. We can also dispense with the whole, “Bush should be tried for war crimes” BS as well. Long before Bush Jr was going to war, the same liberals who decried it, were agreeing with the intel and saying, "we have no choice but to take Hussein out." Well, I'll bet you won’t read that in The New York Times, will you?
