{{Cquote|There is a very easy way for to prevent anyone from being put into harms way and that is for [[Saddam Hussein]] to disarm.  And I have absolutely no belief that he will. I have to say that this is something that I have followed for a decade.  If he were serious about disarming, he would have been much more forthcoming.  There may be progress, we may be destroying his missiles, there is no accounting for the [[Weapons of mass destruction|chemical and biological stocks]]. I just have to respectfully disagree what the proximate cause of any action that might be taken is. }}

A book by ''[[New York Times]]'' best-selling authorLt Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson (U.S. Air Force-Ret.) entitled ''War Crimes: The Left's Campaign to Destroy Our Military and Lose the War on Terror'' charged Code Pink materially supported terrorists when they delivered $600,000 in cash and supplies they claim was humanitarian aid.  Democratic Congressman [[Henry Waxman]] of California facilitated the transaction by signing a letter to get the aid into [[Fallujah]]. <ref>[http://www.onenewsnow.com/2007/07/author_claims_antiwar_groups_g.php Author claims anti-war groups gave material support to terrorists], Chad Groening, OneNewsNow.com, July 13, 2007.</ref> Code Pink distributed the supplies to “the other side” in the terrorist stronghold in December 2004.  Fallujah was the site of a fierce battle which took the lives of 95 Amerricas and over 1,000 [[al Qaeda]] terrorists and combatants loyal to Shi’ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.  Patterson also makes the charge Code Pink has established offices in Iraq for the purpose of encouraging American soldiers to desert.
