Revisionist Liberals Try to Pass the Buck.

Everything I know I learned from ABC news.

Long before Baby Bush got in to office, ABC news and all the others where talking about Iran, Sadam, and North Korea.

On ABC’s evening night news I learned that Sadam had used chemical weapons against people in Iraq and Iran.

In addition, on ABC news I learned of Sadam’s nuclear ambitions, including the missile launcher.

When the embassy in Africa were bombed Peter Jennings started talking about Osama Bin Ladan.

Therefore, before Bush was making the case for war in Afghanistan and Iraq I had already seen enough news programs on ABC to understand who Sadam was as a person.

There are different types of people in the world. There are those who talk. There are those who act.

Sadam was a man who talked and acted. Sadam engaged in war with Iran. During this time Sadam ordered the use of chemical weapons. These same weapons he ordered be used against Kurds in Iraq.
We know Sadam gave the order to invade Kuwait. In addition, during his time under UN resolutions he chose to disobey.

Therefore, there is no question Sadam was an irrational person who was capable of harsh acts.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran president, has only given orders to small crimes. Iran has not invaded any country. They have given personnel and material support to the insurgents in Iraq. In addition, Iran sponsors terrorist in Lebanon, Syria, and other areas.

Kim Yung Ill has tried to build a nuclear weapon and has spewed a lot of rhetoric. Outside of these actions I have not seen actions equivalent to the acts of Sadam.

Therefore, I can see why the Bush administration has dealt with each tyrant in the way they have.

There is no doubt in my mind that Sadam was capable of a lot.

Iran’s president says a lot but does more in the shadows. However, his acts are not in the scale of invading another country.

King Yung Ill is just a talker.

People such as Sadam have to be dealt with urgency and seriousness.

People as Amadinajad have to be monitored and their actions countered.

People like Kim Jung Ill must be seen as the crazies they are and not given much attention.

I know it is a little to late to keep justifying the war with Iraq. However, the evidence against him showed him to be savage, ruthless, and dangerous.

Moreover, America will continue to face many tyrants who will threaten and act. It would be counter-productive to start invading every nation.

In addition, I was surprised by a news story where democrats in the congress were saying they would not support a war with Iran.

Now the enemy knows that America has a weak and compromised position. This may lead people such as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to gain confidence in attacking the U.S.

Iran’s actions are of concern. We know they are giving weapons to insurgents in Iraq. In addition, we know they are creating terrorist groups such as Hamas all over the world.

What their nuclear ambitions are no one really knows. However, if they are for more than honorable means, why should they fear American retribution?

Just who is the commander in Chief of America and how can Bush prevent violence Against the U.S. if the democrats keep weakening the president’s hand?

Have they not seen how upset people in the nation are at them? Do not read all those emails criticizing Bush as support for you, democrats. Yes your base is on your side. However, the President is twice as popular then congress.

How about you democrats for once stand and show that you really love this country are ready to be smart about defending her.

Because everything on TV is 100% fact, objective, and in no way sensationalist in any sense of the word.  God bless you American media...without your guidance we would surely all be dumb as fuck.

Right, because, as Zoo said, getting all of your information from a single source is the absolute and unequivocal best way to know what goes on in the world.

How are you justifying writing yet another political article? Did you even bother to read the comments on the immigration one? Surely you don't think the users of this site will have an immediate change of heart and suddenly start playing nice.

While a couple of lines there made sense, I just think that you should probably take a break from politics for a little while. Let things cool down.
