WHAT PLANET ARE YOU ON? Part 2: The Thing From Bizarro World

It's time for me to get back at what I do best. Ragging on my former associates on the Political Left.

The Kerry/Edwards/Soros Campaign has been repeatedly making some rather baldfaced lies about Iraq and the War on Terror. They and their toadies have been saying that the Prez made "a colossal error in judgement," by invading Iraq, and also declaring that "Iraq is not even the centre of the focus of the war on terror. The center is Afghanistan." Even former counterterrorism czar turned media darling Richard Clarke said: "Invading Iraq in response to 9/11 would be like Franklin Roosevelt invading Mexico in response to Pearl Harbour."

Let's look at the facts.

KNOWN TERRORISTS HARBOURED OR AIDED BY SADDAM HUSSEIN'S IRAQ

1. Abu Abbas- Boss of the 1985 Achille Lauro hijacking and the murder of wheelchair-bound American retiree Leon Klinghoffer. Captured by American forces in Baghdad in April 2003. Apparently he had been living there for years under the care and protection of guess who: SADDAM HUSSEIN.
2. Ramzi Yousef- Mastermind of the 1993 WTC attack. An Iraqi citizen who entered the USA using an Iraqi passport and then escaped the USA after the attack with a forged Pakistani passport.
3. Abdul Rahman Yasin- Bombmaker for the 1993 WTC attack. Escaped to Iraq where he was sheltered and supported by the Saddam Regime.
4. Abu Nidal- (Born Sabri Al-Banna) His faction killed at least 400 people including 10 Americans, and wounded almost 800 more. He and his group recieved safe haven, money, training, and logistical support from Syria, Libya and IRAQ. He lived openly in Baghdad from 1999 until his mysterious assassination in 2002.
5. Abu Musab al Zarqawi- Born in Jordan. Fled Jordan after doing time for rape to join Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. As the Taliban was collapsing he fled to Baghdad where he recieved medical attention. Ran Al-Qaeda camp for an Anti-Kurdish/Pro-Saddam faction called Ansar al-Islam. Currently runs the so-called 'insurgeny' in the Sunni Triangle.

TERRORIST SCHEMES INVOLVING SADDAM & IRAQ

1. Saddam Hussein paid out $10,000 to $25,000 to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers. The purpose of this was to hinder any attempt at peace between Israel and the Palestinians and was paid with funds from the failed UN Oil for Food Scam.
2. Saddam's Iraqi Intelligence Service plotted to kill George HW Bush during a visit to Kuwait in 1993. Plot was intercepted and broken by Kuwaiti Counter Intelligence.
3. Set up a base outside Baghdad called Salman Pak. It's purpose was to train aspiring hijackers on the ways and means of seizing control of an airplane using the fuselage of an old Russian TU-145 as a mock up of a Boeing passenger plane.
4. Set up numerous training camps with al-Zarqawi for Al Qaeda faction Ansar al-Islam. Their purpose? Well, it wasn't to teach them to play baseball.

Don't let the lies of political opportunists blind you to the facts. This is a real war, with real enemies, real goals and yes, even real allies.
