Where is the Outrage

"On March 19, 2004, President Bush asked, 'Who would prefer that Saddam's torture chambers still be open?

"Shamefully, we now learn that Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management: U.S. management."
Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass)

(Pardon the upcoming french, lower case deliberate)

What kind of stupid, arrogant, ignorant idiot says something as dumb as what Sen. Kennedy said above. It takes a certain amount of foppish narcissism to get up on the floor of the U.S. Senate and compare the actions of a dozen or so misguided American soldiers to that of the torturers under Saddam Hussein.

A few days ago, a man's head was sawed off (thats right: sawed off with a saw. Not with a sword, not with a guillotine, it was sawed off slowly and painfully with a saw.) While treating this man like a piece of wood, these animals screamed "God is Great" and rejoiced as a man screamed and begged for death. This is the type of evil we are up against. This is the same evil that cut the throat of Richard Pearl. The same evil that incinerated 3000 Americans on 9/11. It is the same nihilism that slaughtered people in two embassies, killed soldiers in the US cole, in Somalia, and elsewhere. Unless we face this evil and defeat it, this country is doomed.

For Senator Kennedy to equate that with the actions of those American soldiers (who for clarities sake, should be court marshalled, thrown out of the military, and thrown in jail) is outrageous. He should be impeached and removed from office fast.

Mort Kondrake put it best when he said:

"Look at those monsters standing there five of them and they cut the guy's head off, they sawed his head off, shouting God is great. Now that is what we are dealing with, that is the kind of people who will run the world if we do not win this war on terrorism. And it is being fought in Iraq and we have got to win and that is it. Full stop. There is just no losing this thing or else the world will be run by monsters."
