Mongoloid, no one knew it was Sadam who was paying for the trip. If you can prove otherwise, bring your evidence forward.

Before the first Gulf war there was also another meeting with Saddam. On July 25, 1990 April Glaspie the ambassador to Iraq met with Saddam where he ask her what the U.S. position would be if Iraq invaded Kuwait. She informed Saddam that Pres. Bush viewed it as a border dispute between Kuwait and Iraq and would not get involved.
Another fact of the U.S. coddling of Saddam is the he was given the key to the city of Detroit in 1979.

THE ONLY TRUE WAY TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS WAR IS TO HAVE WAR CRIMES TRIALS!

START WRITING CALLING AND DEMANDING IT FROM THE WORLD COURT!

AMERICA STAND UP OR SHUT UP!

There has to be a lot more to the trip than what is being said here. The media owes it to the public to follow up. It might not change the administration''s course but could influence the elections.

?Still care to vote Democrat, especially when you''''ve got a Racial Hypocrite, Coward, and stooge of a Black Nazi hateshrieker on one hand, and a cuckolded shrill shrew who is either too afraid or too shrewd to walk away from a Serial Rapist Draft Dodging Pervert?" Posted by Pelosisaho2

Y''know what? Even if your insults were true, it would still be better than what we''ve got now, and the one that "what we''ve got now" endorses for the future.

Where''s Henry Waxboy when it is his own doing ILLEGAL stuff?

Bonior, a traitor of many years standing, McDermott, the Islamonazi apologist in residence in the Democratic Party, and Thompson should all be indicted on charges of treason and working with a foreign government HOSTILE to the U.S.A.

Pelosi and Waxboy have dropped the ball. It is time to get rid of the scum -

Still care to vote Democrat, especially when you''ve got a Racial Hypocrite, Coward, and stooge of a Black Nazi hateshrieker on one hand, and a cuckolded shrill shrew who is either too afraid or too shrewd to walk away from a Serial Rapist Draft Dodging Pervert?

The Democrats - They Even Make Ben Arnold Look Good.

"Oklahoma Sen. Don Nickles, the second-ranking Senate Republican at the time, said the Democrats "sound somewhat like spokespersons for the Iraqi government."

Seeing as how the three were right, and Nickles was wrong, Nickles is now looking like the south end of a north-bound horse.

Where are the prosecutions against those Koweitis who lied us into a first war to kick Saddam Hussein out of Kowait. I remember a frail girl wheeping while lying to a Congress committee about babies being taken out of incubators and put on the hospital cold floor. Booo hooo hooo! She then was said to be the then ambassador of Kowait to Washington. A whole class of lying politicians and sponcering diplomats.

"Though weapons of mass destruction ultimately were never found, the lawmakers drew criticism for their trip at the time."

So who should be charged with crimes now? Certainly not the three politicians.

"Oklahoma Sen. Don Nickles, the second-ranking Senate Republican at the time, said the Democrats "sound somewhat like spokespersons for the Iraqi government."

Seeing as how the three were right, and Nickles was wrong, Nickles is now looking like the south end of a north-bound horse.

"Junket"? Some junket. This was Iraq, not Tahiti.

CBS, you lose a little more of your credibility every day.
