Leftist Continue To Lie About
The U.S. Led Invasion Of Iraq

The Leftist America-haters just keep droning on and on and on about how the
Iraq war was completely unjustified. They´re like one of those goofy horror
movies where some unstoppable sicko hijacks the teeny-bopper´s TV set and
rasps homicidal sweet-nothings to her. She turns it off and he keeps going.
She unplugs it and he continues his threats. She even bashes out the tube
and still the monster keeps taunting her. I´m beginning to think even a
videotape of Saddam handing the 9-11 hijackers a briefcase full of cash and
a set of plans wouldn´t faze these people.
The list of justifications for the Iraq war just keeps getting longer, but
it never satisfies those who live to loathe America and breath to bash Bush.
Iraqi defiance of 17 UN resolutions wasn´t enough for them. Iraq firing on
British and American aircraft 406 times in 2002, and hundreds of times in
the years before that, wasn´t enough. Assertions by UN weapons inspection
teams that WMD funny-business was going on in Iraq wasn´t enough. Banned
missiles, chemicals and other military technology in possession of the
Iraqis wasn´t enough. British intelligence which remains credible that Iraq
tried to buy uranium wasn´t enough. Pictures of the Salmon Pak terrorist
training camp complete with its own airliner fuselage wasn´t enough.
Testimony of the torture, rape and political killing of thousands in Iraq
wasn´t enough. But oddly enough, some human rights violations alone were
enough to warrant US military intervention when it was done by a
philanderer-perjurer president, even though no American interest was at
stake.
Perhaps even more exasperating is the hypocrisy or "head-in-the-sand"
syndrome displayed in the David Kelly affair. When the BBC lied that David
Kelly was the source for accusations that the British government had "sexed
up" intelligence on Iraq, the media and the Leftist were all abuzz. What was
the reaction of the ostriches when it was revealed that this story was,
a-hem, less than accurate? As I pointed out in my recent Toogood Report, the
British newspaper the Guardian published a letter written by Kelly shortly
before his suicide. Andrew Gilligan, the BBC reporter who started that lie,
ended up apologizing for what he had done. Were the Leftists abuzz when all
the air went out of their latest hopes? Well, if you missed all the hype, so
did I.
The latest round of information the Leftists will do their best to ignore
comes from Insight magazine, the sister publication of the Washington Times.
The current issue of Insight details the connection between Iraq and the
al-Qaeda terrorist organization. For those Leftist who may have conveniently
forgotten, al-Qaeda was the terrorist group responsible for nearly 3,000
American deaths at the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and the heroes on
United Airlines Flight 93 in a field in Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001.
The story begins with a group called al-Taqwa. al-Taqwa Management (now Nada
Management) was formed by Youssef Nada, Ali Himat, Ahmed Huber and Mohamed
Mansour in the late 1980s by members of the Muslim Brotherhood, a group
"dedicated to the overthrow of Western nations and the creation of a
worldwide Islamic government." Back in 2001, President Bush cited al-Taqwa
as part of al-Qaeda's money laundering activities. al-Taqwa was the
recipient of illicit funds from the UN "Oil for Food" program. Those funds,
instead of feeding hungry Iraqis, went to al-Qaeda. Mohammed Atta,
ringleader of the 9-11 attacks, had frequent meetings with the Syrian branch
of the Muslim Brotherhood. The article also points out that Saddam has long
provided financial support for the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Insight piece quotes Peter M. Leitner, director of the Washington Center
for Peace and Justice (WCPJ) as stating the reason the Bush administration
hasn't made more of the 9-11 al-Qaeda ties to Iraq is because they are
concerned that if the families of the 9-11 victims successfully sued Iraq
and received damage awards, it would divert much-needed funds for the
rebuilding of Iraq. While no one should minimize the loss and pain of the
9-11 victim's families, a tragic death is not justification to continue
riding a gravy train begun with insurance compensations, continued by the
federal victim compensation fund and carried even further by lawsuits
against various airlines and businesses connected to the attack.
The article further alleges that al-Jazeera, the Arab television network,
has been implicated as a link between al-Qaeda and Saddam. It says the
network received funding from Iraq in exchange for acting as a go-between.
It further states that al-Jazeera passed letters between Osama bin Laden and
Saddam.
But this isn´t the first evidence brought to light about Iraq´s connection
to terrorism. A multitude of news reports in the past from various sources
have revealed the following:
.. Documents found in Iraq's secret police headquarters after the war which
show Saddam brought a bin Laden aide to Baghdad in 1998 to discuss closer
ties with the terrorist organization.
.. al-Qaeda members fought alongside Iraqi military during the recent Iraq
war.
.. The much-ignored meeting between Atta and the Iraqi official Ibrahim
al-Ani in Czechoslovakia in April 2001. This meeting was confirmed in a
signed statement by Czech ambassador Hynek Kmonicek).
.. A satellite telephone call from Saddam to al-Qaeda, congratulating them
on their assassination of US diplomat Laurence Foley in Amman, Jordan in
October 2002.
.. The establishment of the Al Biyara al-Qaeda terrorist camp in Iraq
shortly before the 9-11 attack.
There was no justification for the Iraq war, huh? What about that "war on
terrorism" thing? How quickly we forget! I guess when you´re determined to
ignore something, it´s pretty easy to overlook facts.
The Left will continue to act according to its nature; it will lie, it will
try to subvert the truth, it will coddle evil and enable evil-doers. The
rest of us have to keep repeating the truth, even though it gets tiresome.
When the only voice is the voice of the evil-doers, evil will be the order
of the day. The truth will be buried deep and forgotten. And good acts will
always be unjustified.

Atheism teaches that there is no God, hence no God-given rights. That
ideology coupled with a system that believed in the superiority of the state
at the expense of the individual was murderously synergistic.
