A topic that deserves something more than propaganda. It deserves a freaking prayer. What is the use… Propaganda appears to be all you understand.
Musharraf came to power during the Clinton administration just like the Ayatollah (Iran) and Saddam (Iraq) happened during Carter, not to mention the invasion of Afghanistan by the USSR and the start of the Mujahideen by Jimmy Carter and Zbigniew Brzezinski (“Terrorism is not an enemy but a technique of warfare -- political intimidation through the killing of unarmed non-combatants”), so are we seeing a pattern here?
No (I can make one), but your promotion of propaganda about "liberation" being sold in the absence of WMD is clearly what I would expect from a “liberal“ terrorist propagandist:
“Whereas the Iraq Liberation Act (Public Law 105-338) expressed the sense of Congress that it should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove from power the current Iraqi regime and promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime;”
Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq
“A brutal, oppressive dictator, guilty of personally murdering and condoning murder and torture, grotesque violence against women, execution of political opponents, a war criminal who used chemical weapons against another nation and, of course, as we know, against his own people, the Kurds. He has diverted funds from the Oil-for-Food program, intended by the international community to go to his own people. He has supported and harbored terrorist groups, particularly radical Palestinian groups such as Abu Nidal, and he has given money to families of suicide murderers in Israel.
I mention these not because they are a cause to go to war in and of themselves,
as the President previously suggested, but because they tell a lot about the threat of the weapons of mass destruction and the nature of this man. We should not go to war because these things are in his past, but we should be prepared to go to war because of what they tell us about the future.” (TEXT FROM THE SPEECH JOHN KERRY MADE ON THE SENATE FLOOR October 9, 2002) {Bold emphasis added for the hysterically blind}
“I would have preferred that the President agree to the approach drafted by Senators Biden and Lugar because that resolution would authorize the use of force for the explicit purpose of disarming Iraq and countering the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.” (TEXT FROM THE SPEECH JOHN KERRY MADE ON THE SENATE FLOOR October 9, 2002)
“Let me be clear: I am voting to give this authority to the President for one reason and one reason only: to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction if we cannot accomplish that objective through new tough weapons inspections.” (TEXT FROM THE SPEECH JOHN KERRY MADE ON THE SENATE FLOOR October 9, 2002)
“H32. Requires Iraq to inform the Security Council that it will not commit or support any act of international terrorism or allow any organization directed towards commission of such acts to operate within its territory and to condemn unequivocally and renounce all acts, methods and practices of terrorism;
I
33. Declares that, upon official notification by Iraq to the Secretary-General and to the Security Council of its acceptance of the provisions above, a formal cease-fire is effective between Iraq and Kuwait and the Member States cooperating with Kuwait in accordance with resolution 678 (1990);”
RESOLUTION 687 (1991) Adopted by the Security Council at its 2981st meeting, on 3 April 1991

“It seemed to me that your previous remarks were speaking about terrorism as a whole when we were in fact talking about a
douche bag on a bus. While possibly represented by a terrorist organization, this man/woman is not
terrorism.” (Gandhi>Bush)

Spare me the “liberal“ crap, I have already been there!
“The suicide bomber was 20 years old, a student of the Hebron Polytechnic University (from which a large number of suicide bombers have emerged) and a member of the Hamas terrorist organization.”

March 13, 2003: “(CBS) Saddam Hussein has distributed $260,000 to 26 families of Palestinians killed in 29 months of fighting with Israel, including a $10,000 check to the family of a Hamas suicide bomber.
In a packed banquet hall on Wednesday, the families came one-by-one to receive their $10,000 checks. A large banner said: ‘The Arab Baath Party Welcomes the Families of the Martyrs for the Distribution of Blessings of Saddam Hussein.’“
