Well, I think LeBoutillier is wrong about the war. We needed to fight it, and if Bush can be faulted, it is for slacking off after the military victory in Iraq. He slacked off in Iraq, and he failed to move on to Syria when that should have been done.
But LeBoutillier is certainly right about the alien amnesty bill. It will destroy the Republican party, it threatens to destroy the country, and it will fragment the conservative coalition.
Sure, eventually conservatives may get together and replace the Republican Party with a new conservative party, but in the meantime incredible damage will have been done. It’s bad enough to deal with 20 million illegal aliens in our midst. How will future generations deal with 120 million illegal aliens, or 120 million amnestied aliens?
Civil war?
The time to head this off is now.
I think he is only half right about the war. He is wrong in saying "we attacked a country that had not attacked us". He is wrong because the war on Iraq was pre-emptive. We never said they had attacked us. However, he is right in saying it is a mess that already killed us in the last election, and will probably do so in 2008. IMO, the "war" ended when Saddam's statue toppled. Up to that time, the war was handled well. When he started trying to "bring democracy to the middle east" to muslims who would rather live under repressive sharia law, that's when he/we lost control of the situation.
“it threatens to destroy the country”
How’s that?
