In all likelihood Mandela is backing Yasser Arafat, who will give us a real Holocaust if he has his way. Mandela’s remark shows that he has been corrupted by his Communist affiliations.

WASHINGTON - Iraq sent spies from Canada to New York and Washington this month to snoop and stir up anti-war demonstrations, according to a government report obtained by the Daily News.

Sounds about right; using Canada as base. Saddam has studied the Vietnamese path to defeating the U.S. well. They also stirred up so-called “anti-war” demonstrations.

“Today, the central nutritional problem facing the poor -- indeed, all Americans -- is not too little food, but too much of the wrong food,” writes Douglas Besharov in his paper, “We’re Feeding the Poor as if They're Starving.”

If there is massive hunger in this country, why is it that poor people are becoming obese and why is it that there are poor people who would rather have 50 cents of cash instead of a dollar’s worth of food.

When they [the police] arrived, the girl said she and her father “got into an argument over family issues,“ according to the one-page police report. No charges were filed and the girl left the house to calm down, according to the report.

Some people just don’t know when to quit. They should have sentenced him to life in anger management.

WASHINGTON –– Government investigators armed with fake IDs and fictitious names had no trouble getting past U.S. border guards who didn't even bother to check the false papers in some cases, the General Accounting Office says.

Why are we not surprised?

The war on terrorism requires choosing sides, both as individuals and as nations. It’s nice to see that there are sensible countries on the other side of the Atlantic.

The unanswered question is which side France and Germany will choose.

These leaders chose The Wall Street Journal instead of the traditional The New York Times. See “Unilateralism, My Ass!” in Best of the Web Today.

DAMASCUS, Syria - Leaders of Syria and France discussed ways Thursday to coordinate their positions on the U.N. Security Council to avert a war on Iraq, the official Syrian Arab News Agency reported.

Syria is a terror-sponsoring state that harbors Nazi war criminal Alois Brunner. This indicates that France is trying to work both sides.

NEW YORK (AP) - The White House said Wednesday it postponed a poetry symposium because of concerns that the event would be politicized. Some poets had said they wanted to protest military action against Iraq.

Even poetry has become politicized.

NOTE: The Guardian may be an extreme Left-wing newspaper.

The organizers and speakers at this communist-sponsored, anti-American rally were the same cast of characters, saying the same hateful things that they did at last October’s anti-American rally in Washington, D.C.

That it was an anti-American rally was self-evident because one of the speakers said that in Korea anti-war rallies are known as “f-cking America rallies.” The remark received the loudest cheers of any remarks made during the event.

The speaker who uttered this invective was Yoomi Choong of the Korea Truth Commission (KTC). Ms.Choong is the Deputy Secretary General of the KTC, which is affiliated with the International Action Center (IAC), which is affiliated with International ANSWER. All of these groups are affiliated with the Workers World Party (WWP). The WWP is a staunch advocate of Kim Jong Il.

The International Action Center says Ramsey Clark was its founder; Clark went to Hanoi with Jane Fonda.

Naturally, Sen. Teddy Kennedy, D-Afghanistan, wants to stop the Bush administration from using NSEERS to catch any more criminal aliens and illegal aliens who pose law enforcement threats to America.

The first time around, it was the FBI, where careerists and those whose minds had been dulled by decades of political correctness couldn’t bring themselves to what should have been an inescapable conclusion: Zacarias Moussaoui was up to no good. Coleen Rowley’s best efforts notwithstanding, the careerists blocked any attempt at an investigation. On September 11, 2001, some 3,000 innocents were slaughtered for their lack of action.

Just ask former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter. In 1997, before Ritter was arrested for soliciting sex from a police officer posing as a teenager, Saddam Hussein indeed had been furtively building a nuclear arsenal, according to Ritter. But in 2002, a year after Ritter acquired a dirty little secret of his own, Hussein suddenly became beyond suspicion.

Bad news for Left-wingers.

The Enemy of My Country Is My Friend

Milne, Seumas. “The recolonisation of Iraq cannot be sold as liberation.” The Guardian (UK). January 30, 2003.

In fact, leftwingers were pretty well the only people in the west campaigning against the Iraqi regime two decades ago - left activists were being imprisoned and executed in their hundreds by Saddam Hussein at the time - while the US and British political establishments were busy arming Iraq in its war against Iran and turning a blind eye to his worst human rights abuses, including the gas attacks on the Kurds in the late 1980s.

This doesn’t make Left-wingers “good guys” now; they’re all pulling for Saddam in spite of his past misdeeds.

'Body-Bag Politics'

A week ago, we noted that several Democratic senators who voted in October to declare war on Iraq were now making noises suggesting they had switched sides. Only suggested, we must emphasize--while carping about President Bush's acting “unilaterally,“ none of them actually said they regretted having voted to give him the authority to do just that. We speculated that the Dems were politically motivated, hoping that a quagmire in Iraq would hurt the Republicans' chances in the 2004 election.

It's a tradition that politics stops when America goes to war and everyone gets behind the troops - but some Democrats who voted for an Iraq attack last fall are now busy second-guessing President Bush at the 11th hour.

They did the same thing to LBJ, so it’s no surprise that they’re doing it now.

Mandela Backs 'Holocaust'

It pains us to criticize Nelson Mandela, who was once a great man. But because people still take his words seriously--Reuters uses no scare quotes when it calls him “a towering statesman respected the world over“--we must reluctantly point out that in his old age Mandela has turned doddering and incoherent.

Taranto is being charitable and doesn’t answer the question of how a “great man” can openly embrace the evil of Communism.
