Bad intelligence, good politicians (Bradshaw WWE)

One of our brightest wrestler's and a Patriotic Republican writes a great commentary:

I took some of the great exerpts and just click on the link for the entire four pages:

1.Where are the WMDs? President Bush came out and announced that our intel was faulty about Iraq, and the Democrats loved it. Of course, if they said Bush was walking on water, the Democrats would say it is because he can’t swim.

2.The real problem is the intel. The Clinton Administration, the CIA, the United Nations and even Saddam himself said that Iraq had weapons, so where did they go and when did they leave? Personally, I believe we had to take out Saddam eventually, but the question remains, how bad was our intelligence?

3.I don’t think you should bash our leaders in a time of war or imminent war like the Dixie Chicks did. I think it is tasteless and un-American. I have talked to too many soldiers who say they don’t like to hear this type of thing go on while they are defending our freedoms. I have seen first hand what it does to our guys. This is why I hate it.

4.Michael Moore goes way too far by calling Bush a deserter. Desertion is a crime punishable by death; to accuse our president of a crime that is punishable by death is irresponsible. I believe him saying this really hurt Wesley Clark’s chances in the primaries and caucuses, because Moore was supporting Clark. There is a time to be responsible, and some celebrities don’t understand that. Of course, Sean Penn is just a jackass.

Back from Iraq by Bradshaw - Jan. 5, 2004 |I just got back from Iraq, visiting our guys, who have done such an unbelievable job

Quite a few WWF/WWE Wrestlers are conservatives, having casually endorsed Bush in 2000. I know, it may not make them conservative, but I'm along with them.

An ilist includes HHH, The Rock, Jerry Lawler, Bradshaw, Ric Flair, and Steve Austin. The Rock had not announced his general political proclivity though - his endorsement of Bush and his appearance at the 2000 GOP Convention had a lot to do with his being disenchanted with Clinton-Gore-Reno over the Elian Gonzales situation (I belive the Rock's bride is a Cubana).

I've always liked the "barfights" the APA always got in. Bradshaw kicks ass.

[Captainpaintball]

He drinks, fishes, kicks ass, and votes Republican? Who says there are no REAL role models left in the sports/entertainment world?

Bradshaw's kind of the Renaissance Man of the WWE. He's also written a book about investing. Interesting, cool, patriotic guy.

[JustPiper]

I think she's done a better job with me, Homeschooling rules! Until these guys/gals went to Iraq, I had no clue but fell for Bradshaw immediately. I was a Dick the Bruiser old time wrestling fan -g-

[JustPiper]

This guy will run for office one day, surprised Dwayne the Rock hasn't! My daughter is excited about her first vote but it's an off year next year -aw-
