Hi Hawk....Did you see this? But shhhhhhhhhh.....The Dems don't want to know this.

Oh, I wager they know about it. But they are hoping to convince the American people that none of it really matters.

If they can convince everyone that all of this information has been fabricated by US intelligence, and that people like Ray Robison (who was a fellow co-worker, although I was based in Iraq and he in Qatar) are "useful idiots" who collaborated with some sinister disinformation initiative related to Iraq Regime documents...

Alas.. it does not fit the democratic plan to acknowledge the collusion of Saddam's regime with Al Qai'da and other terrorist groups.

<I guess I missed that paragraph in my history books about how the US surrendered to Japan, acknowledging they couldn't win against their kamikazes and Banzai charges..>

In Japan we showed we were able and willing to kill every man woman and child -- a hundred million of them if necesary. We incinerated women and children by the hundreds of thousands to drive the point home.

We could have killed every man woman and child in Vietnam -- and we can do it in Iraq. But it is hard to pretend you are 'saving' people when you are busy killing all of them. So we stop short of killing them all.

We were not in Japan to save them -- we were there to kill them and to defeat them. We could not defeat the Vietnamese. So far we have shown little capability to defeat Iraq.
