Wonder how many of your fellow countrymen know which missiles and which dictatorial nut you're talking about?
I'd like to be wrong, but I tend to think few even have an idea how many retalitory sorties were flown against that nut long before the "official" war broke out.
It's like our country has collective amnesia on that issue. Not even people like Dennis Prager or Hugh Hewitt seem to remember that Hussein fired 100s of missiles at our pilots before we went to war. I always like to ask opponents of the war if firing 100s of missiles at our pilots doesn't constitute grounds for going to war, then what does? When they respond that we had to wait for Hussein to actually kill some of our pilots, I then ask if they hold that same position with respect to our response to Hitler's declaration of war on us?
