Does "Chris Ruddy" ring any gongs, raise any hives, turn any stomachs?
So why post this. Know thy foe. I didn't say "enemy," on the purely Platonic basis that we are all Americans.
Also, here we have the counter wedge argument in its purest form:
-
As President Bush has been fighting a war against terrorism, the Democrats and the big media are fighting a war against President Bush.
The latest case in point: the non-issue of President Bush’s fleeting reference to intelligence that Iraq was seeking uranium in Niger.
In hindsight, the Bush administration honestly admits the evidence wasn’t strong enough to have made that specific statement.
(edit)
So what? The war against Iraq was never waged because of the Niger evidence. Nor was it waged because we had definite evidence Saddam was behind Sept. 11.
So, why was it waged? Damned if I can tell from the explanation provided. Maybe you can do better.
-
After Sept. 11, President Bush warned that terrorism would loom over us unless we dealt with the nations behind terrorism. He named Iraq, Iran and North Korea as the most dangerous, “the Axis of Evil.”
All, said President Bush, were developing weapons of mass destruction.
In an age when anthrax, a poor man’s atom bomb or a “dirty nuke” – plutonium encased in dynamite – could be easily produced and deployed against us, the threat is real.
That's it by way of why. The next point up - Bush had nothing to gain politically from waging this war.Hard to believe, I know, so go, read for yourself.
While you're there, if you haven't visited in a while, look around the site; it's a full service propoganda center; short on evidence, long on spin, relentlessly focused on personally attacking that "other America," where "evil ones" control all discourse, despite their small numbers.
