Moonbat Intelligence - The Myth

~Snooper~

What drives the Leftinistra and their moppets called Moonbats? Simplifying the answer, via the shortened version is BDS. Many moons ago back in January 2007, the Strategy Page posted a relevant piece, revealing that which we already knew but placed in a one-stop shop. The lauded piece is entitled "Top 10 Myths of The Iraq War". (HT to Dr Sanity)

One will need to visit the link provided to read the ill-fated and now defunct and debunked verbiage. I'll not waste key strokes placing the verbiage here.

MYTH ONE
No Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)

Not to beleaguer the reader with a plethora of "We told you so" verbiage, access the page linked and read the whole report that the Leftinistra will not accept. I will, however, start the education process. The WMD issue was and is still very real:

Finally, there are some definitive answers to the mystery of the missing WMD. Civilian volunteers, mostly retired intelligence officers belonging to the non-partisan IntelligenceSummit.org, have been poring over the secret archives captured from Saddam Hussein. The inescapable conclusion is this: Saddam really did have WMD after all, but not in the way the Bush administration believed. A 9,000 word research paper with citations to each captured document has been posted online at LoftusReport.com, along with translations of the captured Iraqi documents, courtesy of Mr. Ryan Mauro and his friends.

This Iraqi document research has been supplemented with satellite photographs and dozens of interviews, among them David Gaubatz who risked radiation exposure to locate Saddam's underwater WMD warehouses , and John Shaw, whose brilliant detective work solved the puzzle of where the WMD went. Both have contributed substantially to solving one of the most difficult mysteries of our decade. [...]

On top of the "banned weapons" and "associated equipment" found in Iraq during the progression of the War In Iraq, John Loftus and the myriad of investigators are still working out the details.

MYTH TWO
The 2003 Invasion was Illegal

This is the classic "prove me wrong" rhetoric which is entirely baseless and fraudulent in the very premise of the ill-fated argument. A State of War between Iraq and The United States was still in affect since the cease-fire "agreement" in 1991. Before the Persian Gulf War ever began against the occupiers of Kuwait, the President received the proper authorization to drive Saddam from Kuwait. One can conclude that it was a "legal op". The cease-fire agreement was negotiated and a State of War existed until such a time that Saddam fully complied. He never did and continually fired on Coalition Forces for nearly 12 years which redsulted in UN Resolution 1441. Hence, the "legality" of the war is a moot point.

MYTH THREE
Sanctions were working

Yes, and I am the King of Siam. One would have to be a mental midget to think that and the proof is in the multiple UN Resolutions violated and gone widely ignored by Saddam. Des the scandal known as Oil For Food ring a bell? A Texan mans has recently been convicted of that scandal, by the way. I suppose GWB conspired that one as well, eh?

MYTH FOUR
Overthrowing Saddam Only Helped Iran

Another logical fallacy and no one has come up with a viable example to support the claim. Iran has taken advantages yes and as been perpetrating Acts Of War against the United States internal of Iraq. Our cowards in DC are spineless to do anything about that, however.

MYTH FIVE
The Invasion Was a Failure

Well, tell that to the People of Iraq these days. Perhaps the Leftinistra should pay more attention to reality. Even Murtha disagrees.

MYTH SIX
The Invasion Helped Al Qaeda

To do what? Self-destruct as they have? OBL in recent months has conceded defeat and as AQ did in Afghanistan as we trounced AQ and the Taliban - leaving a few behind to carry on the battle and move on - so it is now. Just in case no one has been paying attention. The fighting has relocated to Afghanistan and Pakistan. I find it increasingly difficult to comprehend why the moonbats hang onto this pathetic argument.

MYTH SEVEN
Iraq Is In A State of Civil War

Again, peace is breaking out all over Iraq.

MYTH EIGHT
Iraqis Were Better Off Under Saddam

This argument is so retarded I won't dignify it with the obvious to the oblivious.

MYTH NINE
The Iraq War Caused Islamic Terrorism to Increase in Europe

See MYTH EIGHT answer.

MYTH TEN
The War in Iraq is Lost

See MYTH SEVEN answer. This is a no brainer if one has been paying attention for the last 9 months.

The Leftinistra are a sorry lot. Their moonbat moppets are even worse.

Dr Sanity goes on to explain pretty much the Pathology involved that drive the moonbats and the Leftinistra. The first three paragraphs will be placed here but you have to go read the other 20+ or so.

The fact that Iraq has sort of dropped off the radar of both the MSM and the Democrats should tell you how fast both are retreating from their original talking points. They know that promoting defeat at this point in time is a losing stance for them in 2008--except of course, for the lunatic fringe of their base. Meanwhile, Bush's poll numbers seem to be rising, much to Democrat's dismay...and their own Congressional approval rating hovers near record lows.

The Democrats and the left live (and die) by polls. Popularity means everything to them. Other people's opinions are the foundation of all their "principled" stands on issues--so watch for a significant shift in their principles in the days to come.

But let's not deceive ourselves. Such a shift would not indicate any real alteration of their unbelievable self-induced blindness and utter refusal to acknowledge the realities of Islamic fanaticism and the war on terror. To do that would require a fundamental re-assessment of their socialist/leftist/PC ideology itself. [...]

Can I hear an AMEN? I could have sworn that I wrote those three paragraphs!!

Moonbat intelligence -- an oxymoron.
