Saddam Appreciates Useful Idiots In Anti-War Movement

Saddam Appreciates Useful Idiots In Anti-War Movement: Last week, I pointed out that the antiwar movement is giving motivation and encouragement to America’s enemies. Here is some of what I said in that post[1]…

“…I’m sure terrorist groups, Islamo-fascists, and dictators across the world now feel “invigorate(d)” too since they’ve learned how many “useful idiots” there are in the United States. It must be nice to know that even if you fly planes into the WTC, bomb a disco, storm a theater, destroy a pizza parlor, or gas your own people, there will always be leftist dupes in the US doing everything in their power to impede the people trying to stop you. Most of clowns at these anti-war rallies would have been out protesting on behalf of Japan and the Nazis if they were around back in WW2. I can just hear them now…

“I’m not saying Hitler is a great guy, but America is like an imperialist nation you know? Roosevelt just wants to extend our global hegemony across the whole world. This isn’t about Pearl Harbor either man! It’s all about getting cheap labor in Japan and quality German cars. America has to break the cycle of violence by negotiating with Hitler instead of listening to Roosevelt’s business cronies who want war. Hey FDR, we don’t want your filthy war! Give peace a chance!”

Murdering innocent women and children is grim and desperate work especially when the American military machine is trying to stop you. But a few words from Susan Sarandon, Gore Vidal, Jesse Jackson, or even some random protestor waving an Iraqi flag may very well give the terrorists and the regimes that support them that “extra” motivation they need to blow themselves up or a plant a bomb on a bus. Thanks a lot you antiwar protestors, thanks a lot….”

Today, Saddam Hussein proved me right when he said…

“Time is in our favor, and we have to buy more time hoping that the U.S.-British alliance might disintegrate because of … the pressure of public opinion” in the United States and Britain, he said.”

So there we go. If you’re part of the anti-war movement that’s out in the street protesting, you might be calling for peace, but more people are going to die because of YOU. Saddam is going to try to hold out longer, to murder more Americans, to get more Iraqi civilians killed, because he’s hoping that the anti-war movement will break our will. This was entirely predictable if you know your history and followed what happened in the Vietnam war. Here’s a quote from Bui Tin, Colonel in the North Vietnamese army, in an interview in the WSJ…

“Every day our leadership would listen to world news over the radio at 9:00 a.m. to follow the growth of the American antiwar movement. Visits to Hanoi by people like Jane Fonda and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and ministers gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses. We were elated when Jane Fonda, wearing a red Vietnamese dress, said at a press conference that she was ashamed of American actions in the war, and that she would struggle along with us.”

It must be great for Saddam and al-Queda to know that they have so many “useful idiots” in the anti-war movement who are going to try to help them live to murder another day…
