Don’t forget this wonderful quote:

“"The best way to end that threat once and for all is with a new Iraqi government -- a government ready to live in peace with its neighbors, a government that respects the rights of its people,"

Don't you see, Robby, it was wrong for us to do that, even then. We should've bailed on both of those countries and let them develop their own govt. I mean, look at them now. What a mess they're in.

You see, the U.S. is nothing but a ravaging, tyranical imperialism. We are truly the men in the black hats. Shame on us.

Don't even respond to his hatred.

For those liberals who can't see the forrest for the trees, it would be too confusing to detail the positive fallout Sadam's capture will have.

So here's a reply from a democrat:

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

WASHINGTON — The Washington congressman who criticized President Bush while visiting Baghdad last year has questioned the timing of the capture of deposed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

Rep. Jim McDermott (search), D-Wash., told a Seattle radio station Monday the U.S. military could have found Saddam "a long time ago if they wanted." Asked if he thought the weekend capture was timed to help Bush, McDermott chuckled and said: "Yeah. Oh, yeah."

The Democratic congressman went on to say, "There's too much by happenstance for it to be just a coincidental thing."

When interviewer Dave Ross asked again if he meant to imply the Bush administration timed the capture for political reasons, McDermott said: "I don't know that it was definitely planned on this weekend, but I know they've been in contact with people all along who knew basically where he was. It was just a matter of time till they'd find him.

"It's funny," McDermott added, "when they're having all this trouble, suddenly they have to roll out something."

State Republicans immediately condemned McDermott's remarks, saying the Seattle Democrat again was engaging in "crazy talk" about the Iraq war (search).

"Once again McDermott has embarrassed this state with his irresponsible ranting," GOP state Chairman Chris Vance said in a news release. "Calling on him to apologize is useless, but I call on other Democrats to let the public know if they agree with McDermott -- and Howard Dean (search), who recently said he thought it was possible that President Bush had advance knowledge about 9/11. The voters deserve to know if the entire Democratic Party believes in these sorts of bitter, paranoid conspiracy theories (search)."

Last year, Vance and other Republicans labeled McDermott "Baghdad Jim" for comments he made during a trip to Baghdad that President Bush "would mislead the American people" but that Saddam could be trusted.

On Monday, Democrats joined the criticism of McDermott.

"With all due respect to my colleague, that is a fantasy," Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Wash., said of McDermott's comments. "That just is not right. ... It's one thing to criticize this administration for having done this war. I mean, that's a fair question. But to criticize them on the capture of Saddam, when it's such a big thing to our troops, is just ridiculous."

McDermott, in a telephone interview with The Associated Press, called the timing of Saddam's capture suspicious but said he was not alleging it had been intentionally delayed.

"Everything was going wrong, and they got a real Christmas gift, if you will, in that the troops did a magnificent job and found" Saddam, he said.

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright suspects President Bush knows the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden and is simply waiting for the most politically expedient moment to announce his capture.

I got an Idea.. Why don't we take all these Politicians and people who feel GWB and the Military Knows whats going on with OBL and hand them the Rifles and Canteens and winter gear, and MRE's and a Couple Humvee's and air drop their ass's in Afagnistan to cover for the Military Men and Women their just long enough to let them be home with their Family's for the Holidays and these SOB's can be away from their Family's and searching the Mountians and Cave's looking for that SOB since they might have a tip from some higher-ups at the White House on where he might be hiding and held up until the right time to catch him to look good... Damn I could see the headlines now on how the Far Left took things into their Own hands and went after Osama themselves during the Holidays to give the Troops a Break to see family back home... How Thoughtful of them Far Left Dems!!!!!!

"If I'd been president, I would have had Osama bin Laden by this time," presidential contender Wesley Clark said at a news conference in Concord.
