Likewise, any evidence of WMDs need to be a

When confronted by image after electronic
image of coalition soldiers being jubilantly
greeted by grinning Iraqi kids, all making
the big "thumb's up" sign: leftists
and libs came up with the
following"explanations" as to why
and how said images didn't really
contradict their heated (and repeated)
assertions that "... welllllllll... the
Iraqis don't really want us over
there, anyway":
*** That the "thumb's up" gesture,
in Iraqi culture, really means (in effect)
"eff you"; and that the kids were
actually covertly cursing the
soldiers. (Look back at those photos Cato has
posted, in this very thread. They're even hugging>
their rescuers, for pity's sake...!)
*** That all of said images weren't
"real" ones... but were, instead,
either CGI computer manipulations, or else I
kid you not) cunningly staged and directed
COINTELPRO propaganda mini-plays [!!].
#36 -- your repeated contention that these

So many
parallels to Hitler. Saddam had his version
of the Nazi brown shirts, and when a child
refused to join, off to jail they went to
straighten out their thinking. I have heard
the jail was for other reasons too, none of
which had anything to do with real crimes or
delinquency of any sort we could relate to.
In other words, if Saddam's thugs wanted to
force the parents to do something, a child
might be put in this jail to persuade the
parents to act in full accord with
directives, whether that be an actor in a
public demonstration, or for purposes of
extortion, or other political pressures. It
would be an effective vise squeeze on parents
minds and hearts.
Time will reveal many more terrible details,
we can be sure. But, don't look for a mass
repentance from leftists, they will only
excuse their own behavior, then move on with
lighting speed to the next trumped-up issue
to rag on.

anti Christ will be someone with great
appeal, unlike Saddam. He will come in
peacefully, and by peace, he will destroy
many. Hitler was a kind of anti Christ, and
Saddam certainly is just as evil, but the
real one will be so cunning and mesmerizing,
that if it were possible, he will fool even
the chosen of God with his seeming wisdom and
abilities. He will even, initially, appear to
solve the tensions between Israel and her
opponents.
I hope that we vaporized Saddam and his
rotten sons.

In a
September interview with Time magazine,
here's what Scott Ritter had to say about
Iraq's children's prisons:
The prison in question is at the General
Security Services headquarters, which was
inspected by my team in Jan. 1998. It
appeared to be a prison for
children--toddlers up to
pre-adolescents--whose only crime was to be
the offspring of those who have spoken out
politically against the regime of Saddam
Hussein. It was a horrific scene. Actually
I'm not going to describe what I saw there
because what I saw was so horrible that it
can be used by those who would want to
promote war with Iraq, and right now I'm
waging peace.
Putz Ritter.

Who's to say that rescuing these children
from Saddam's prison won't be the major event
that turns the tide in the Muslim world from
hate to ...... maybe not love, but ...... at
least they'll stop trying to kill all of us.
Who's to say that one of these young children
won't grow up to preach to the Muslim world
about his freedom at the hands of America and
who's to say that that young person won't be
the person that turns the tide?
Something has got to make these people
wanting to stop killing us.
The poisoners get them young and fill their
heads full of hate. They never really know
anything any different.

I agree with
many of you LDotters who say that these
children were not the miscretins that some
other poster have intimated.
Most of the potential criminals are now the
Fedayin Saddam and Saddams, young lions.
These kids are the ones who would love to
kill just ofr the fun of it and as the war
goes you can see this in the resistance being
put up by the small factions throughout
Baghdad.
The kids in jail to me were innocence who
only wanted to left alone to growup with
their families. Families who had good family
values. Their lives were disrupted by the
goon of Saddam and his youth corps.

Yes, ; what
if this were your son, in prison, because he
did not want to join the hillary youth?
You indoctrinate
your son, and teach him to distrust his
grandmother, by not allowing him to have a
free conversation, FREE convresation with
her! Do you realize the damage you do to your
family, you diseased, disturbed and mentally,
emotionally ill misfit?! You are not fit to
be a mother.
If you were to
receive your wish, hillary would take your
son away from you, and you would have to
smile and go along with it.

No. 86, I
read this story on Drudge about an hour ago.
Don't know why you didn't see it.
These kids will be tomorrow's Iraqi leaders.
The younger generations will help to keep the
new government honest. Our aim right now is
to educate the youth between approximately 18
and 30 in such a way as to let them know that
this is not a religiously oriented regime
change, but rather aimed at a fair and just
democratically oriented society. A new
magazine titled "Hi" is in the
first stages right now, aimed at them.
"Hi" is also a greeting used
commonly in Iraq as well as the US.
Thanks God that these little ones are freed.

Just before they were to be shipped off to

you might be playing Devil's advocate, surely
you have to realize that ANYONE in Iraq who
kills, steals or commits a crime is either
tortured or killed.
There is no way Saddam would put those
children in jail if they were criminals. They
cut off hands for far less than you suggest.

Hillary's

National Health Care Plan at the point of a
felony offense. And there were attempts to
make government schooling mandatory and to
put any child in a home school into the
protective custody of "Child
Serives" and the parents charged with a
bizarre child endangerment violation.
Those Iraqi childern could have been our own

#96, Here are
the Anti Christ's criteria according to
scripture.
1. He will rise out of a revised, Roman
Empire, such as the EU.
2. He will conquer the world through peace.
3. He will speak with great authority (he
will be a compelling orator), having
miraculous problem solving abilities. But,
his cunning will flow from satan, fueled by a
bitter hatred for God, Jews and Christians.
4. He will not regard the company of women,
which means he might be celibate, or he could
be a homosexual.
5. He will serve a god his fathers did not
serve, the god of forces.
6. He will confirm a 7 year covenant with the
Jews, (perhaps a revived form of Oslo,
reinstated and spruced up) which will seem to
solve the Middle East's problems as no one
else has ever been able to do. He will break
the covenant after 3 1/2 years, and turn on
the Jews viciously.
7. He will recieve what appears to be a
mortal wound in the head, then recover as if
from the dead.
8. After 3 1/2 years, he will cause everyone
on Earth to receive an identification mark in
their hand or forehead (a chip or implant).
