Duhhhh - To all of you uninformed Americans. If Saddam did not have weapons of mass destruction- what did he drop on his own people the Kurds - baby powder ? Duhhhhhh !!!
the majority of the news media is and always has been prejudiced against Bush., why do you think they only broadcast the bad stuff instead of all the good that has come out of this war on terror ??? Read the article below from a Florida newspaper who wasn't afraid to tell it like it is.
This is quite an editorial! When it was time to stand up and be counted, Mr. Lucas stood!

Up Against Fanaticism
By Phil Lucas, Executive Editor, Panama City New Herald - Panama City, Florida
If straight talk of savagery offends you, if you believe in ethnic and gender diversity but not diversity of thought or if you think there is an acceptable gray area between good and evil, then turn to the funny pages, and take the children, too. This piece is not for you.
We published pictures photos of burnt American corpses hanging from an Iraqi bridge behind a mob of grinning Muslims. Some readers didn't like it.
Mothers said it frightened their children. A woman who works with Muslim physicians thought it might offend or endanger them.
Well, we sure don't want to frighten, offend or endanger anybody, do we? That's just too much diversity to handle. I mean, somebody might get hurt.
We could fill the newspaper every morning with mobs of fanatical Muslims. They can't get along with their neighbors on much of the planet: France, Chechnya, Bosnia, Indonesia, Spain, Morocco, India, Tunisia, Somalia, etc. etc. etc. Can anybody name three ongoing world conflicts in which Muslims are not involved?
Today, where there is war, there are fanatical Muslims.
We might quibble about who started what conflicts, but look at the sheer number of them.
One thing is sure. Muslim killers started the one we are in now when they slaughtered more than 3,000 people, including fellow Muslims, in New York City on 9/11.
Madeleine Albright, the former secretary of state and feckless appeaser who helped get us into this mess, said last week Muslims still resent the Crusades. Well, Madam Albright, if Westerners were not such a forgiving
people, we might resent them too.
Let's recap the Crusades. Muslims invaded Europe, and when they reached sufficient numbers, they imposed their intolerant religion upon Westerners by force. Christian monarchs drove them back and took the battle to their homeland. The fight lasted a couple of centuries, and we bottled them up for 1,000 years.
Now, a millennium later, Muslims have expanded forth again. Ask France.Ask England. Ask Manhattan. Two-and-a-half years ago fanatical Muslims laid siege to us. We woke up to the obvious. Our president announced it would be a very long war, then took the battle to the Islamic homeland.Sound Familiar?
Let's consider the concept of a "long war. Last time it was 200 years, give or take. Anybody catch Lord of the Rings? You know, the good part, the part that wasn't fiction, the part that drew us to the books and movies because it was the truest part: the titanic struggle between good and evil, between freedom and enslavement, between the individual and the state, between the celebration of life and the worshipping of death.
That's the fight we are in, and it never ends. It just has peaks and valleys.
There may be a silent majority of peaceful Muslims - some live here - but that did not save 3,000 people in the World Trade Center, the million gassed and butchered in the Middle East, the tens of thousands slain in Eastern Europe and Asia, the hundreds blown to bits in the West Bank and Spain, or the four Americans shot, burned and hung like sausage over the Euphrates as a fanatical minority of Muslims did the joyful dance of
death. These extremists are cowards because they kill innocent women and children. The U.S. military is killing them and winning battles whenever we encounter them.
Maybe we are so tolerant, we are so bent on "diversity," we are so nonjudgmental, we are so wrapped up in our six-packs and ballgames that our brains have drained to our bulbous behinds. Maybe we're so addled on
Ritalin we wouldn't know which end of a gun to hold. Maybe we need a new drug advertised on TV every three minutes, one that would help us grow a backbone.
It doesn't take a Darwin to figure out that in this world the smartest, the fastest, the strongest, and the most committed always win. No exceptions.
Look at your spouse and children. Look at yourself in the mirror. Then look at the pictures from the paper of the Americans hanging from the bridge or the photo of the beheading of Nick Berg. You better look at them. Those are the people out to kill you, you children, your spouse -all Americans !!.
Who do you think will win? You? Or them? Think you can take your ball and go home and they will leave you alone? Wake up - they want us all dead. Read a little history. Start with last week, last month, last year, and every other year back for half a century. Then go back a thousand years. Nobody hides from this fight.
The question is - do you want to fight them over there or over here ? Thank God President Bush is choosing to fight them over there.
Like it or not, that's the way it was and that's the way it is.
But many Americans don't get it - they think if we leave them alone they will leave us alone.
They Won't !!!
That's why we published those pictures.
If they jarred you off the sofa, if they offended you, if they scared your children and sent you into a rage at mass murderers or heartless editors, then I say, it's a start.
Send this to as many people as you can - America needs to wake up and back the President !!

This is administration is the only one since Bush Sr. that has had the balls to stand up to these towel headed camel jockeys. It is the democrats who have their heads where the sun don't shine. I say take no prisoners - kill all of the extremists we find and let God sort them out. If we have to go into Syria and Iraq - let's do it.
