Do These Guys Even Have Consciences?

Responses forthcoming?
The Iraqi representative to the UN, Ahmad Chalabi, spoke before the General Assembly today:
I stand in front of you today representing the voice of the Iraqi citizen who has long suffered from cruelty within and outside his homeland. Those within his country have inflicted on him the worst kinds of torture: they have attacked his honour, betrayed his family, humiliated him, enchained him and thrown him into miserable wars...And throughout the world, those that stood to benefit scrambled to trade and work with his torturer.
...
To those who stood with the dictator and who continue to question the intentions of the American and British governments in undertaking this liberation, we invite you to come and visit the mass graves where half a million of our citizens lie, come and visit the dried up marshes, come and visit Halabja where chemicals were dropped on civilians, come and examine the lists of the disappeared whose right to live was taken away from them by Saddam Hussein. And we the Iraqi people will ask you why you chose to remain silent.
Whew! I’m glad I was for the war. If nothing else, there was a fight on and I wasn’t on the side of people like Osama and Saddam. Or Schroeder or Chirac, for that matter. Often, with complicated issues, you can take a page from Occam’s notebook and judge the issue by the participants. If you get dragged into a fight and don’t truly understand the conflict, just look at who’s fighting and make your decision based on that.
I have to wonder if people like the 3 stooges above have a twinge in their conscience when they read stuff like this. Or if they just roll their eyes, sniff derisively through their pointy, long noses, and wonder themselves when these silly little brown people will stop thinking and start listening to their colonial masters again.

"Definitely".
And, if you're trying to be cute and say "not" in german, it's "nicht". Not "nichts", dipshit.
