I noticed that you failed to mention that the trip was approved by Bush's State Department. Are they not complicit in this? Granted, with the Bush administration, you can always make the claim that they are so incompetent that they can't possibly be held accountable for anything they do. I'd also add that Saddam's biggest defender was Ronald Reagan, but as a Republican, he gets a pass from the supposedly liberal media for defending Saddam's gassing of the Kurds (among other pro-Saddam atrocities). Yet these congressmen will be crucified for simply being fooled just like the State Department was. The congressmen obviously deserve criticism for this, but so does the administration for approving it.

Any time those who coddle tyrants lose influence anywhere, I’m happy.

I don't see it as "coddling tyrants"; I see it as an attempt to avoid doing something really stupid.

Chen, it does not surprise me, given your other comments here, that you would come to that conclusion. Still, the visit did happen, those statements were made, and money that should have gone to buy medicine and food for Iraqis who died for lack of them ended up paying for a propaganda visit by Democrats.

I know none of that matters to you, but it does matter to quite a few other people. I suspect that as the American people learn more of what is really happening in Iraq, and what really happened there in the past, you will find yourself in a much less comfortable political position. That day will come as a great joy to me. Any time those who coddle tyrants lose influence anywhere, I'm happy.

Anyway, do you honestly think that the Dems are going to take a political hit because a few of them flew to Iraq to discourage an invasion that now 60% of the American public view as a mistake?

Like how the weasels try and rewrite their fantasy lands of history and hide behind "unpopular war"

These idiots either choose to erase, are ignorant or just flat out dishonest by neglecting to mention that mere 3 years before these bonehead tyrant bootlicker Democrats made their first class trip ala Saddam, Democrat Bill Clinton considered Saddam enough of a menace to lob missiles at every other month, not to mention Saddam was shooting at our service members routinely – an act of war.

3 Democrats apparently were especially cool with that I suppose.

Sounds like Chen is too.

Honestly, I read your post, then I read the AP article. I've concluded that you might have misrepresented it a wee bit.

Wait a second, maybe I don't.

BTW- It's Quisling, and "They went there and accepted…"
