#1 the mainstream media continues their march toward irrelevance. It's pretty hard to get past the fact that Saddam was one of the most brutal and ruthless leaders ever. But that won't stop the media from putting this meme forward. Slice it, dice it anyway you want, but the bottom line of their new talking points are that things were better off before the Americans got there.

Um, no. State sactioned rape rooms, torture chambers and genocide are hard to weasle around.

The MSM will repeat the lie and it will be parroted by Al Jiz and the ever shrinking number of losers on the left.

But more and more lefties are uncomfortable in backing tyrants over freedom and are beginning to wonder just what and whom they are defending.

#2 2b, has there been any instance where the MSM has even mentioned the rape rooms, tourture chambers, genocide, and general murder?

No.

So the MSM still clings to the notion that it controls 'all that you see and hear'.

#3 Simon Jenkins is The Times's pet moonbat. He gets it right approximately 10% of the time, as Stephen Pollard noted recently.

#4 I'm glad to hear that Bulldog. But unfortunately, this moonbattery is representative of large portions of what we read - here at home and abroad. No MSM outlet, even Fox, reminds the viewers of what was before. Not a single one.

#5 State sactioned rape rooms, torture chambers and genocide are hard to weasle around.

Hard but not impossible, so the media will still try.

#6 The lunatic writes in the Times.
The lunatic writes in the Times.
Accuse America of hideous war crimes.
Got to earn the moonbat writer's dime.

The lunatic is in the hall.
The lunatics are in my hall.
The paper brings their folded nonsense to my door
And every day the paper boy brings more.

And if the quagmire falters many years too soon
Republicans in charge upon the Hill
And if your head explodes from red-state voting too
I'll see you on the forums at DU.

#7 It's meagre, but hell, we're on a budget and there still 11 countries still on the list.
