Iraq War Hypocrisy
Haha you know what's great? This website is great. You guys should check it out, I'm sure some of you will definitely get a kick out of it, and
some of you won't. To think I used to call myself liberal...
Here's a little bit of the hilarity you can expect from this site:
"Men often oppose a thing merely because they have no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they
dislike."-Alexander Hamilton
The quote above by one of this country's most respected founding fathers is as true now as it was then. Don't believe me? Then what do you make
of this quote by Democratic Senator Tom Daschle in a news conference back on Feb. 11, 1998, when President Clinton was ratcheting up support on a
possible attack on Iraq.
"Look, we have exhausted virtually all our diplomatic effort to get the Iraqis to comply with their own agreements and with international law. Given
that, what other option is there but to force them to do so? That's what they're saying. This is the key question. And the answer is we don't have
another option. We have got to force them to comply militarily."
Kinda sounds like the same problem we faced last year doesn't it?? It was the same problem, and is a prime example of Alexander Hamilton's point.
Now look at what Senator Daschle has to say as the war in Iraq began.
"I'm going to the White House this afternoon and I have a pretty good understanding, a pretty good idea what I'm going to hear. And I'm saddened,
saddened that this President failed so miserably at diplomacy that we're now forced to war, saddened that we have to give up one life because this
President couldn't create the kind of diplomatic effort that was so critical for our country. But we will work, and we will do all that we can to get
through this crisis like we've gotten through so many."
Hmmm funny stuff.
