I take it then Moe, that you were demanding that Saddam be held to account when Reagan had Rumsfeld shaking hands with him and selling him weapons to fight Iran?

So if YOU were so outraged that the US supported Saddam then, why were YOU even more outraged when the US deposed him? Suddenly the crimes of Saddam, which had grown 10 fold in the meantime, were as nothing to you. Where is the consistency in YOUR position?

I abhor all genocide, tyranny, and head turning when nations ignore genocide. And it was up to the UN to help the people of Rawanda..........at the insistence of world leaders.....not the US Marines. Where was the democrat Bill Clinton.......the leader of the free world.......when the people of Rawanda were being slaughtered? Where was the democrat president and representative of the USA Bill Clinton when the organizers and managers of the oil for food program were skimming millions of dollars, SH was building tens of palaces and 100s of thousands of Iraqis were being systematically murdered, starved and denied medical care? Where was the democrat leader of the USA Bill Clinton when the thieves of Enron were robbing ordinary people blind. He was entertaining the CEO of Enron and sleeping in a room next door. And why did it only take a few months for the Bush administration to bring down those crooks while the democrat president of the USA didn't see any of it in his eight year tenure?

And I'm not even going to mention that incompetent Jimmy (the peanut farmer) Carter.

And where was the MSM when all of this was taking place? Organizing their minions for an all out assault on conservatives? You have drank the kool aid and the flavor is fraud.
