Welcome to the General's Filtration System, a place where being politically correct does not exist. So if the left has greeted you with smiles of approbation, and you are sick of it, then you've come to the right place. Don't get caught up in the twister of deception. You will receive today's most important news and information without the spin. Everything has been filtered through my elaborate system with the liberal agenda blown out of it. I personally will not stand for the bellicoseness directed at the American people by the extreme left. Wake up and smell America, and may you all stay red, white, blue, and always true.
December 1998, Clinton was gearing up to be impeached, and then he decided to bomb Iraq. Clinton's secretary of state Madeline Albright stated " Month after month, we have given Iraq chance after chance to move from confrontation to cooperation, and we have explored and exhausted every diplomatic action." (she opposed wars in 1991 and 2003 stating that Bush should have the UN step in, but in 1998 where was the UN)
Senator Tom Daschile stated "This is a time to send a message to Saddam Hussein as clear a message as we know how to send that we will not tolerate the broken promises and the tremendous acceleration of the development of weapons that we've seen time and time again in Iraq." ( he stated about attacking Iraq when Bush wanted to " in a preemptive manner would be terrible tradegy and set all the wrong precedents and send the wrong messages to the world community." He also stated in December 2001, " A strike against Iraq would be a mistake. It would complicate Middle Eastern diplomacy..I think we have to keep the pressure on Iraq in a collective way, with Arab allies, Unilateralism is a very dangerous concept. I don't think we should ever act Unilateral.")
So in four years Iraq has become a better nation. The liberals were against going to war in 1991, but were upset that we did not take out Saddam. They just do not make any sense, do they? Well on the War in Iraq they voted 29-21 but now they all oppose it. I just have to laugh at the lack of stability in their feelings.
Hey liberals what do you think about the Serbia issue? I dare you to answer that. The General is in and ready for war. Where was the UN when Clinton decided to take out Slobodan Milosevic. President Bill Clinton said "This is America at its best. We seek no territorial gain, we seek no political advantage." So the Iraq War is ok if President Clinton does it in 1998, but now it is not America's best interest. Clintons defense secretary William Cohen believed 100,000 Albanian civilians were murdered, but after the war, only 3,000 bodies found by the International Criminal Tribunal. Bodies said to be of military age. So Saddam I am guessing is a much better person then Mr. Milosevic. Saddam only killed hundreds of thousands of people, tortured people in front of their families, gassed his own people, had torture chambers, and mass body graves.
Even if we forget about the weapons ( even the Clinton administration admitted Saddam had them in 1998) it was ok for Milosevic to be stripped of power but we could leave Saddam in power because he was funding Palestine and we know how the liberals do not like Israel. The General (me) is ready to dismantle all liberal propaganda. You decide, here are the facts and I could give you some more, but these minimal facts should give you enough information to make your choice. America wake the up and smell some patriotism and may you all stay red, white, blue and always true.1. The Iran-Iraq War. During the Iran-Iraq War, Saddam Hussein and his forces used chemical weapons against Iran. According to official Iranian sources, approximately 5,000 Iranians were killed by chemical weapons between 1983 and 1988. The use of chemical weapons has been a war crime since the 1925 Chemical Weapons treaty, to which Iraq is a party. Also during the Iran-Iraq War, there are credible reports that Iraqi forces killed several thousand Iranian prisoners of war, which is also a war crime as well as a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions of 1949, to which Iraq is a party.
2. Halabja. In mid-March of 1988, Saddam Hussein and his cousin Ali Hassan alMajid -- the infamous "Chemical Ali" -- ordered the dropping of chemical weapons on the town of Halabja in northeastern Iraq. This killed an estimated 5,000 civilians, and is a war crime and a crime against humanity.
3. The Anfal campaigns. Beginning in 1987 and accelerating in early 1988, Saddam Hussein ordered the "Anfal" campaign against the Iraqi Kurdish people. By any measure, this constituted a crime against humanity and a war crime. Chemical Ali has admitted to witnesses that he carried out this campaign "under orders." In 1995, Human Rights Watch published a compilation of their reports in the book Iraq's Crime of Genocide, which is now out of print. Human Rights Watch needs to reprint this book. Human Rights Watch estimated that between 50,000 and 100,000 Kurds were killed. Based on their review of captured Iraqi documents, interviews with hundreds of eyewitnesses, and on-site forensic investigations, they concluded that the Anfal campaign was genocide.
4. The invasion and occupation of Kuwait. On August 2, 1990, Saddam Hussein ordered his forces to invade and occupy Kuwait. It took military force by the international community and actions by the Kuwaiti themselves to liberate Kuwait in February 1991. During the occupation, Saddam Hussein's forces killed more than a thousand Kuwaiti nationals, as well as many others from other nations. Saddam Hussein's forces committed many other crimes in Kuwait, including environmental crimes such as the destruction of oil wells in Kuwait's oil fields, massive looting of Kuwaiti property As well, Saddam Hussein's government held hostages from many nations in an effort to coerce their governments into pro-Iraqi policies. During the war, Iraqi authorities also committed war crimes against Coalition forces. War crimes against American service members were detailed in a reportto Congress and in an article by Lee Haworth and Jim Hergen in Society magazine back in January 1994.
5. The suppression of the 1991 uprising. In March and April of 1991, Saddam Hussein's forces killed somewhere between 30,000 and 60,000 Iraqis, most of them civilians. The story of the uprising that started in the south, a part of the country traditionally neglected and deprived by Saddam Hussein's government in Baghdad, deserves to be better known outside of Iraq. Most of those killed were civilians, not resistance fighters -- a distinction that Saddam Hussein did not respect in 1991 any more than he has before or since. This qualifies as a crimeagainst humanity and possibly also a war crime.
6. The draining of the southern marshes. Beginning in the early 1990's, and continuing until early 2003, Saddam Hussein's government has drained the southern marshes of Iraq, depriving thousands of Iraqis of their livelihood and their ability to live on land that their ancestors have lived on for thousands of years. This is clearly not a land reclamation project, or a border security project, as some of Saddam's defenders have claimed. Instead, as groups such as the Amar Foundation have begun to document, Saddam's efforts have served to render the land less fertile, and less able to sustain the livelihood or security of the Iraqi people. This qualifies as a crime against humanity.
7. Ethnic cleansing of ethnic "Persians" from Iraq to Iran, and an ongoing campaign of ethnic cleansing of the non-Arabs of Kirkuk and other northern districts. This ongoing campaign of ethnic cleansing was documented by the former U.N. Special Human Rights Rapporteur for Iraq, Max van der Stoel in his reports in 1999.
8. Unlawful killings of political opponents. Many groups have documented Saddam Hussein's ongoing campaign against political opponents, including killings, tortures, and rape. As some of you may know, the regime has been using sexual assaults of women in an effort to intimidate leaders of the Iraqi opposition. The regime also carried out a systematic campaign of murder and intimidation of clergy, especially Shi'a clergy. The number of those killed unlawfully is difficult to estimate but must be well in excess of 10,000 since Saddam Hussein officially seized power in 1980. The number of victims of torture no doubt well exceeds the number of those killed.

I leave you with that libs.
