Meanwhile, back in the real world, evidence of links between Hussein and Al-Qaeda have continued to be found.
The primary targets of Al-Qaeda's animus are one that perfectly suited Hussein's own interests. Eventually there would be a confrontation but I've little doubt Hussein expected to handle them as he did anybody else who was no longer useful: kill them. hussein was always vestly less concerned about issues of collateral damage than us so I expect he felt he'd be able to achieve the desired body count when the time came.

Thank you Eric!
Amy, you're a freakin' liberal.
It's weird how people equate Fox with conservatism. It seems to be drawing some of the bogeyman status formerly held by the Christians in the southeast (i.e., Jerry Falwell RUNS that region, and he won't let your daughter have an abortion no matter what!)
The good news is our liberals now understand how fucking REPELLENT conservatives find NPR to be. The difference of course is that Fox isn't taxpayer-supported.

I'm neither liberal nor conservative. I loathe Michael Moore and Ann Coulter equally for being liars. In short, I dislike anybody who puts out propaganda and calls it news. Call it propaganda, and I don't have a problem with it. By the way, I wasn't against taking action in the Middle East. Also, I think it's ridiculous that calling somebody "liberal" has become a form of an insult. It's very seventh grade.
Amy, this "study" has been widely debunked. It asked bogus questions. Just the fact that they draw the conclusion that it is a "misperception" of a link between AQ and Iraq is a big red flag that the authors of the poll were biased in how they framed the questions.
I could be described as a liberal, and I like NPR. I don't expect any news program (or photograph, or report) to be completely objective and bullshit-free. In general, I avoid television news because I don't like the hair and the smurfy graphics. It's like bad porno.
Can someone tell me what's so horrible about NPR? Describe something about it that you think sucks. I'm curious.

I'm a liberal and can't stand NPR. I'd rather watch Fox News. I just don't believe everything they tell me.
Michael Moore is entertaining, but I don't believe everything he says either.
