we finally agree..history will be the judge(hopefully not by a bunch of left wing academic nincompoops)...
but make no mistake...many prominent dems signed off on the iraq invasion...clinton himself was a proponent of regime change in iraq(i realize that,as is in most cases with democrats,it was probably just hot air and bullshit).......
but it`s on record...you can`t rewite history...saddam is gone...and we`re pulling out and leaving a more democratic islamic country in the heart of the dangerous middle east...an ally where once stood an enemy...
you don`t think we won the iraq war?....who did ,then?...
i guess if you`re using liberal logic...it`s never quite clear,is it?...moral equivalency and all that...
heres another fine example of similar liberal media logic from "amnesty int`l" on the reason it ignores hamas`war crimes and focuses only on israel...
"Human rights groups argued Wednesday that a detailed probe into Hamas?s firing of Kassam rockets at Israeli communities is not necessary, because it constitutes such a ?blatant? war crime. By contrast, Israel?s actions are more complex, and therefore do require such investigation, they said...
said Sarit Micha?eli of B?tselem... ?It is quite clear that [Hamas is] attacking and targeting civilians... With Israel things are more complicated because Israel states it does not deliberately target civilians and that it safeguards them. With Israel, you have to investigate each specific incident because even if a civilian is killed in an attack the Israeli authorities deny everything, so one has to prove what happened in a way that you don?t need to do with the Palestinian rockets,? said Donatella Rovera of Amnesty International.
ohh boy.......:lol:
Thought we could put war behind us too weasie--but don't know any more--it won't take long to totally undo what was accomplished.
We got O turning them loose here--and appears his brothers are following his lead. Wouldn't be surprised to see Lybia rearming by summer.
Official: Yemen releases 170 al-Qaida suspects
SAN'A, Yemen ? Yemen released 170 men it had arrested on suspicion of having ties to al-Qaida, security officials said Sunday, two weeks after the terror group announced that Yemen had become the base of its activities for the whole Arabian peninsula.
The announcement also comes as government forces say they are poised to sweep through the northern city of Marib to combat an entrenched al-Qaida presence that includes both Yemenis and Saudis.
The officials who announced the release spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not allowed to speak to the press.
The men were freed Friday and Saturday after signing pledges not to engage in terrorism ? a strategy the Yemeni government has often used with those suspected of fighting in militant causes abroad. Local tribal leaders are also expected to guarantee the good behavior of the released.
The practice stems in part from the powerful role played by the tribes across the rugged Yemeni countryside as well as the comparative weakness of the central government.
In the past, such releases have raised concern in the United States and increased its reluctance to release Yemeni detainees from the Guantanamo Bay detention facility.
Yemen has said it expects most of the 100 remaining Yemenis at Guantanamo to be sent home after President Barack Obama ordered the prison shut within a year.Elements of al-Qaida have long found a haven in Yemen's remote hinterland. Last month, Saudi al-Qaida fugitives in Yemen and their Yemeni associates announced in an Internet video that they were joining forces to form a single group.
On Saturday, Saudi Arabia issued a list of 85 most wanted living abroad
