   The KOOK Left Getting More & More RIDICULOUS!   
      
      
   I'm talking about the absurd lengths that opponents of the liberation   
   of Iraq will go to find fault with George Bush and the actions of our   
   military. Over the past few weeks the lunatic left has made a fool out   
   of its collective self by suggesting dark motives connected with two   
   events ... both involving turkeys.   
   Turkey Event No. 1.  George Bush visits the troops in Baghdad.  While   
   there he picks up a platter containing a turkey and the trimmings.   
   When the anti-Bush elements in the media found out that the turkey   
   that Bush was holding wasn't the exact same turkey that was going to   
   be fed to the troops they went ballistic.  Can you believe that Time   
   magazine actually wrote that Bush's showing of the display turkey   
   actually raised new questions about his credibility?  No, I'm not   
   kidding.  The editors and writers at Time actually decided that the   
   very act of Bush picking up that platter with that turkey on it was   
   nothing more than further evidence of his dishonesty.  How   
   pathetically desperate do you have to be to adopt such a childish and   
   nonsensical position?   
      
   Turkey Event No. 2.  This would be the release of video tapes of   
   Saddam Hussein after his capture by American forces in Iraq.  The   
   Vatican, for one, is protesting the release of this video, as are   
   various Democrat supporters in the United States coupled with   
   anti-American elements in Europe.  We are   
   supposed to believe that the release of this video was a gross human   
   rights violation.   
      
   What are the motives of the people who are upset with the release of   
   these pictures?  Look at it this way.  We knew that many Iraqis were   
   reluctant to show any support for the new Iraqi government or for the   
   liberation of their country so long as they felt that there was a   
   possibility that Saddam Hussein would return to power.  It was   
   necessary for the safety of our troops and the stabilization of the   
   situation in Iraq that the Iraqi people knew for a certainty that   
   Saddam was in captivity and no longer posed a threat to them.  The   
   only way to do this was to show his dead body (not such a bad idea) or   
   to show video of him.  The release of those videos saved lives ..   
   Iraqi lives and American lives.  More bluntly ... the release of the   
   videos, the proof that Saddam has been captured, bolsters the American   
   position in Iraq.  This is not what the left wants to see.  Since the   
   left is damaged by Bush's increased popularity, and since Bush's   
   increased   
   popularity ratings are a direct result of the capture of Saddam   
   Hussein, it only makes sense that the left would attack any effort to   
   document that capture ... including showing Saddam's picture.

   selfish, intolerant, bigoted and racist.
