Our buddy Salam a Ba'athist conspirator? - Page 3

Also, he exhibited only the most caustic disdain for the volunteer westerners who came as human shields before the war. Why would any pro-Ba'ath agent speak so?

His criticisms of the US before and after our invasion have been moderate and reasonable, which is not to say that I would wholly agree with them. He's never accused American soldiers of any gratuitous violence or cruelty. He does not speak bitterly of US soldiers or of Americans in general. Indeed, he's recently urged that we not be in too big a hurry to leave. Now that we've destroyed the old order, he fears chaos and mullahs more than Americans.

He's also picked rather odd blog friends for someone supposedly trying to preserve the interests of the Ba'ath regime. Note that his top buddy, the one person to whom he has actually spoken and divulged personal information is Diana Moon, a pro-war Jewish woman from New York City.

Salam also put up a link to my Culpepper Log apparently just exactly because he appreciated my initial skepticism about his veracity. Like Diana, I was also adamantly supporting the war effort long before we became acquainted.

Now, perhaps Diana and I are Double Secret Agents in Salam's anti-American conspiracy. If so though, he's showing exponentially more cleverness than anything else I've seen from the Ba'athists.

On the other hand, perhaps Mr. Warren is the one involved in the anti-American conspiracy. Perhaps he's really one of the commie Canucks, and he's trying to discredit our war effort by saying really hateful and stupid things on behalf of us hawks. That seems to better fit the known facts on the ground.
