I had no intent on writing anything political today, but I just have to say something…
MSNBC quotes Harry Reid as saying on Tuesday, “They have repeatedly chosen to protect the Republican administration rather than get to the bottom of what happened and why.” I’m not sure who “they” are, specifically, but it doesn’t really matter.
Okay Harry, let’s get to the bottom. Let’s start with the Clinton administration. Let’s look at consistent intelligence that led Bill and everyone else to conclude that Saddam had WMDs. Let’s look into “Able Danger” and the stifled report that the 9-11 guys were plotting something. Let’s look at Joe Wilson’s report that the Iraqis had indeed been to Niger, at least looking at buying uranium. And let’s look at how many times Joe Wilson has lied about what he did or did not say.
Then let’s look at the UN resolutions, and the fact that to not act would have completely discredited everything we said. This was no pre-emptive strike – this was doing what any SWAT team in the country does when criminals won’t surrender.
Then maybe we should look at all of the positive things the Democrats have done over the past 5-6 years – that would take about 10 seconds. They have no agenda, nothing helpful to contribute, just old red herrings. Old, dead red herrings.
It’s tiring. Tell me something new…
