#1 Amazing. The pictures of happy Iraqis beating Saddam Statues with the soles of their shoes silenced these nutters for all of 5 minutes. It's now attack attack attack on all fronts yet again.

When is Howard et al going to use the media to go on the offensive for once? Crush these cretins into the humiliation they deserve. Launch a parliamentary inquiry into why Greens Senator Bob Brown told an OUTRIGHT LIE when he said 500,000 Iraqi children would die in a US invasion... etc etc.

Launch a senate inquiry into why the Left supported a human-rights-abusing dictator over a democratic ally.

#2 Now how is the media supposed to be influential if they don't do what the Left says?

#3 Now how can the media be influential if nobody listens to what they say? If you keep sounding like a lunatic, people are going to start thinking you are a lunatic, and stop listening.

#4 I'm actually wondering what took them so long to use the BBC "I'm gonna sex you up" tactics against Howard. That, or they're starting to run low on ammo and are nursing what's left.

#5 In the United States, several former intelligence officials said that even as the Bush administration concluded Iraq was reviving its nuclear weapons program, key signs - such as scientific data of weapons work and evidence of research by Iraqâs nuclear experts - were missing.

Actually, plans and a prototype gas centrifuge was buried in back yards. See the post yesterday about the standard "Cleaner" services provided by the Cold-war Era Soviets to their clients to ensure nothing gets found (or traced back to them).

Liberals are so detatched from reality that they won't concede that there are difficulties in knowing 100% about anything, and so indulge in monday morning quarterbacking using 20-20 hindsight. They're very selective with their compassion, not bothering to extend it to people who have to make very hard decisions based on limited information gathered under conditions that the Liberals themselves made very hostile. They demand 100% certainty, then work like busy beavers to throw up barriers and conditions to ensure that 100% certainty cannot be obtained.
