Now the real story is out and anyone can see that the libs and certain attorneys were once again clueless and really need to stop talking about war and focus on making lattes and protesting Jesus. THE FORMER IRAQI REGIME OF Saddam Hussein trained thousands of radical Islamic terrorists from the region at camps in Iraq over the four years immediately preceding the U.S. invasion, according to documents and photographs recovered by the U.S. military in postwar Iraq. The existence and character of these documents has been confirmed to THE WEEKLY STANDARD by eleven U.S. government officials. The secret training took place primarily at three camps—in Samarra, Ramadi, and Salman Pak—and was directed by elite Iraqi military units. Interviews by U.S. government interrogators with Iraqi regime officials and military leaders corroborate the documentary evidence. Many of the fighters were drawn from terrorist groups in northern Africa with close ties to al Qaeda, chief among them Algeria’s GSPC and the Sudanese Islamic Army. Some 2,000 terrorists were trained at these Iraqi camps each year from 1999 to 2002, putting the total number at or above 8,000. Intelligence officials believe that some of these terrorists returned to Iraq and are responsible for attacks against Americans and Iraqis. According to three officials with knowledge of the intelligence on Iraqi training camps, White House and National Security Council officials were briefed on these findings in May 2005; senior Defense Department officials subsequently received the same briefing. The photographs and documents on Iraqi training camps come from a collection of some 2 million “exploitable items†captured in postwar Iraq and Afghanistan. They include handwritten notes, typed documents, audiotapes, videotapes, compact discs, floppy discs, and computer hard drives. Taken together, this collection could give U.S. intelligence officials and policymakers an inside look at the activities of the former Iraqi regime in the months and years before the Iraq War. <a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/006/550kmbzd.asp" target="_blank">http://www.weeklystandard.com/ Content/Public/Articles/000/000/006/550kmbzd.asp</a>

But according to the liberal argument, terror doesn't count as real terror if Americans aren't the victims: We should have only gone after Osama bin Laden because he attacked us at home ... Saddam 'only' terrorized and killed Middle Easterners. It's an ironic and warped point-of-view, considering that it's LIBERALS who accuse America and Americans of being self-centered and ignorant of the plight of other people around the world. Yeah, right.

Originally Posted By patrickegan As far as I’m concerned the “rabid left†and their incessant whining and self loathing have only (and continue to) discredited themselves and the whole agenda has become nothing more then childlike diversionary hyperbole. The democrat agenda as a whole can be likened to the Amazing Deanoly’s 3 ring circus. In ring one you have the hate America first menagerie. Ring two hate Bush first menagerie and finally in ring three not in my name cut and run from Iraq spectacular. The side show “gay marriage†and the freak show of splintered leadership unfortunately is a byproduct of the production and surely cannot be missed.
