Mike,
It was entirely predictable that if we won in Iraq that the left wing
would fall back regroup and go into its patented strategy perfected over the
past 200 years. Rethink, rephrase &relabel, the shift from the concrete to
the abstract. The opening salvo is to fire so many convoluted salvos that no
one will ever be capable of answering them all.
Just having General Gas Attack of Sadaam's Army threaten to gas us if
we entered Iraqi territory was sufficient reason to believe Iraq had the WMDs
to back up his threat. The fact that he had gone to great lengths to evade
UN sanctions to have Scud missiles with an illegal range was enough to
justify our thinking he didn't intend arming them with water balloons.
I notice you quoted ABC news. Mike, I am truly ashamed of you. Any
one of us that listened to ABC news during the war could have collected a
pithier Anti-American statement from Peter Jennings than the one you used.
For shame.
