Delusionary statesmen

Last Sunday, two members of the Senate were interviewed on NBC's "Meet the Press" on the subject of eliminating Saddam Hussein, a prime target of American foreign policy. The administration, like most Americans, is anxious to destroy the regime of the Butcher of Baghdad as soon as possible and replace him with a democratic government. The situation is increasingly urgent because of the fear he might use his weapons of mass destruction built up since the Gulf war. The two senators, Bob Graham, Florida Democrat, and Chuck Hagel, Nebraska Republican, immediately offered their opinions about President Bush's plans to invade Iraq. Mr. Graham quickly doffed his general's hat and said that no, we should instead focus our military might on a different target than Iraq.

Strategic insight from two Senatorial enimentos. "members of the American Congress are often, like the Europeans, less bold than sheep. And they have proven to be mightily poor generals besides."

Bob Graham, Florida Democrat, and Chuck Hagel, Nebraska Republican are testosterone challenged bumpkins who by their acquiescence to PC and stupidity will allow 9/11 two to take place, then they'll get on another Sunday talk show and publicly wonder again and again how such a thing could happen. Pathetic, absolutely pathetic.

It would be really good if Iraq ended up with a democrtic government, but...give the part of the world we're talking about I have my doubts.
