[Alas Babylon!]

I had an argument with a democrat today at my University about the "Bush Lied To Get Us Into War" today. I told him (and the others listening, quite a few, in fact) that Bush said EXACTLY what Clinton said in 1998, and 1999, and Joe Liebermann, and Algore, and Madeline Albright, and all the rest of the Dem politicos. You coulda heard a pin drop after that. They had no way to respond. I also re-emphasized the 9/11 attacks, and what were we supposed to do, sit around and wait for Saddam to give Al Qeada a weapon to kill American civilians with? And all this AFTER Clinton said what he said?

The Dem actually agreed I had a good point!

Congratulations on having the guts to stand up in public and tell the truth. We can't let the Dems get away with re-writing history on this point. Another thing I like to bring up in this context is Albright's infamous quote to the effect that the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children (supposedly caused by the U.N. sanctions) were a reasonable price to pay for containing Saddam. This raises two good debating points: (1) if the Dems thought Saddam posed no threat, why were the deaths of 500,000 children acceptable and worthwhile?; and (2) unlike Albright and Clinton, Bush did NOT think the deaths of those children was a reasonable price to pay, and he put an end to the regime responsible for those deaths.
