<<Sadam is a bully. Osama is a terrorist. If you have a choice of either going after Osama or Saddam, whom would you go after first?>> That reminds me of when I hunted rabbits and pheasants for dinner. Kick the brushpile and kill the first one leaving it.

Chinusfo. You said..." LOrne, we means the US press and media. Sadam is a bully. Osama is a terrorist. If you have a choice of either going after Osama or Saddam, whom would you go after first? "..... No, no, no...:-) that is not what I asked...Nice try. Here is your original statement and my question to you.>>>> chinusfo. You said....." But instead, we say that the Iraqis are terrorists. That Saddam and his men are terrorists. ".... Who is " we ". I don't recall any Gov. type people or Pres. Bush people saying that. Do you maybe have a link showing who of importance said Iraqis are terrorists? I think that everyone knows that sodom and his band of murderers were terrorists...but the iraqi people?? Message 19502463 If you made a mistake in your original statement why not just say so.?

Calling Saddam a "Bully" is like calling Pol Pot merely a "bully". An article about cooperation between terrorist and bully... weeklystandard.com "... memo, dated October 27, 2003, was sent from Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas J. Feith to Senators Pat Roberts and Jay Rockefeller, the chairman and vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. It was written in response to a request from the committee as part of its investigation into prewar intelligence claims made by the administration. Intelligence reporting included in the 16-page memo comes from a variety of domestic and foreign agencies, including the FBI, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency. Much of the evidence is detailed, conclusive, and corroborated by multiple sources. Some of it is new information obtained in custodial interviews with high-level al Qaeda terrorists and Iraqi officials, and some of it is more than a decade old. The picture that emerges is one of a history of collaboration between two of America's most determined and dangerous enemies. According to the memo--which lays out the intelligence in 50 numbered points--Iraq-al Qaeda contacts began in 1990 and continued through mid-March 2003, days before the Iraq War began. Most of the numbered passages contain straight, fact-based intelligence reporting, which in some cases includes an evaluation of the credibility of the source. This reporting is often followed by commentary and analysis"
