Cary Clack: It's a wise child who knows who the evil nuclear enemy is
San Antonio Express-News
"Good morning, boys and girls. Are you ready to start our international affairs class?" "Good morning, Mrs. Google. Yes, we are."
"OK, what is the United States about to do?"
"Go to war."
"And what's keeping us from going to war until after Jan. 27?"
"The Super Bowl."
"You sillykins. See if you can answer this. Whom are we going to go to war with?"
"Ah, can you give us a hint?"
"OK. We're afraid of what this evil megalomaniac will do with weapons of mass destruction."
"Oh yeah, Kim Jong Il and North Korea!"
"No. Here's another hint. On the first page of the addendum to the Bush administration's report, 'National Strategy to Combat Weapons of Mass Destruction,' it says, 'We will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes and terrorists to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons.' So whom are we going to war with?"
"Kim Jong Il and North Korea!"
"No no, sillykins. It's Saddam Hussein and Iraq we're going to war with. Next question. Before his Sept. 12 address to the United Nations, what was one of President Bush's reasons for going to war against Iraq?"
"A connection to the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11."
"Did our president mention that in his speech?"
"No."
"And what is the connection between Iraq and 9-11?"
"The same as North Korea's, none."
"Who has fired a ballistic missile over a neighboring country within the last five years?"
"North Korea."
"Good, now what would the United Nations weapons inspectors who are looking for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq like from the administration?"
"Some more hints about where they're supposed to be looking."
"What else would the inspectors, most of the American people and many of our allies also like?"
"More time to find the weapons, if they're there."
"How much more time do you think our president gave them?"
"The Super Bowl's Sunday, right Mrs. Google?"
"Who admits having nuclear weapons?"
"North Korea?"
"Whose possession of material to build nuclear weapons are we unsure of?"
"Iraq."
"Which evil megalomaniac could on a whim launch an attack right now?"
"North Korea."
"Whom are we willing to negotiate with and bribe them into behaving?"
"North Korea."
"Now class, why do you think it's true that the U.S. and U.N. must treat differently countries that have nuclear weapons and those that are trying to develop them?"
"Because they're armed and dangerous, and you want to prevent the unarmed and dangerous from also becoming armed."
"Very good. So what should the evil megalomaniac Saddam do to avoid war?"
"Lie and say that he already has nuclear weapons and wants the same deal that North Korea gets."
"Excellent. Yes, Clarice?"
"But Mrs. Google, why are we so fixated with Iraq?"
"Enjoy the Super Bowl. When you come back Monday we'll study the politics of oil."

Why do some people insist on thinking that they could be better at being President, and if so why don't they just run for the office. How many Mrs. Googles are there in your local district or for that matter cary clacks writing this kind of crap in your local paper. They love to say it is just about oil? As they drive all over town and sit in the warm comforts of their homes.
Here's a question: Why does the government of Saudi Arabia have to worry about overthrow by "fundamentalist" Muslims while the Iraqi government doesn't?
I've seen nothing that suggests that the Iraqis are truly living in stricter accord with Muslim principles than any other government in the region. In fact, I've heard that Iraq is really one of the more secular Muslim governments. If that is true, then why are they not worried about overthrow while the one in Saudi Arabia is?
I think the answer is that the Saudi government is trying to be our friend while the Iraqi government is clearly our enemy. The terrorists like Iraq because they know that Iraq is as much our enemy as they are. The terrorists and Iraqi government are allies. A blow to one will be felt as a blow to the other if only because it will demoralize either to see America strike effectively against an enemy.
Do you remember when President Bush said that we would make no distinction between those who actually perpetrated the attacks and those who've helped them. People cheered him then. Iraq is clearly an enemy of the United States, and defeating that enemy would hurt the Muslim terrorists.
We are in a war, and the only way to win a war is to hurt one's enemies until they are completely destroyed or surrender. Defeating Iraq will hurt the terrorists. It might dry up a source of secret funding. It might catch some who are hiding there. If nothing else, it will demoralize them to see one of their friends destroyed. Beating Iraq advances our goal of winning the war against the terrorists.
I don't know whether the best timing for this war is right now. Maybe we should have started already or maybe we should wait longer. However, I support any effort to harm our enemies. The list of enemies certainly includes Iraq. It probably includes North Korea as well, but I'm certain that beating Iraq would have a greater effect on the Muslim world.

Bill
Very well put.
"OK, what is the Sinkmaster about to do?"
"Rape someone."
"And what's keeping us from raping someone until after Jan. 27?"
"The Super Bowl."
"You little rug rats. See if you can answer this. Who has hired a private detective to keep an eye on him?"
"Ah, can you give us a hint?"
"OK. We're afraid of this evil megalomaniac who will do anything to get power."
"Oh yeah, Helen Thomas."
"No, she's a troll. Here's another hint. On the first page of her latest attack on the Bush administration, she claimed that we are not doing enough to protect homeland security.' So who would be stupid enough to say that?"
"Helen Thomas, the troll!"
"No no, rug rats. It's Satan's Daughter, Hillary Rotten Clinton. Next question. What is her reason for never making a comment on the rape charges against her husband?"
"She wants power?"
"Did Hillary Clinton mention her husband when she said before the U.N. that violence against woman is not cultural; it is criminal?"
"No."
"And what is the connection between Hillary Clinton and Sinkmaster?"
"A fake marriage and the desire for power."
"Who has tried to destroy the credibility of the victims of the Sinkmaster?"
"Hillary Clinton."
"Good, now what would the gang of cows from NOW say about the Sinkmaster's weapon of mass destruction?"
"Nothing."
"What else would the gang of cows from NOW say about the charges of Kathleen Willey?"
"He gets one free grope."
"How many more women might the Sinkmaster rape by kickoff time?"
"The Super Bowl's Sunday, right Mr. DFU? That gives him another day."
"Who covered for her husband's sexual assaults?"
"Hillary Clinton?"
"What lesbian group gave Sinkmaster a pass because he supported laws they liked?"
"The cows from NOW."
"Which evil megalomaniac could destroy this country if she makes it back to the White House?"
"Hillary Clinton."
"Who must be stopped before it is too late?"
"Hillary Clinton."
"Now class, why do you think it's true that the U.S. is in danger from this woman but the leftist b*st*ards in the press give her a pass and treat her with kid gloves?"
"Because they're socialists and hate this country."
"Very good. So what should we do about the evil megalomaniac?"
"Expose her lies and stop her."
"Excellent. Yes, Jimmy?"
"But Mr. DFU, why has Hillary not been challenged regarding rape by the cows from NOW?"
"Enjoy the Super Bowl. When you come back Monday we'll study the politics of abortion."
Ask Tim McVeigh.
Oops... can't do that. Clinton's anti capital-punishment AG had him executed.
But we can still ask Terry Nichols about the trips he made to the Philippines, alone, with no income to speak of. Ask him who taught them how to make a truck bomb almost identical to the one used in the first WTC attack in '93. Ask him about all those Iraqi Republican Guard boys they were keeping company with.
Find the truth about Oklahoma City and you find the truth about Iraq's sponsorship of Abu Sayef and al Qaeda. After that, the rest (9/11, anthrax, etc) all falls into place.
This is obvious to anyone who pays attention. And it's obvious to the President.
Iraq is toast. Justice is coming.
"Good morning, Mrs. Google. Yes, we are."
"OK, what is the United States about to do?"
"Go to war."
"And what's keeping us from going to war until after Jan. 27?"
"The Super Bowl."
"You sillykins. See if you can answer this. Whom are we going to go to war with?"
"Someone who's used weapons of mass destruction on other nations and his own subjects and we don't want to have nuclear weapons to use as blackmail tickets like the North Koreans are now doing?"
"Oh you sillykins, haven't we taught you better than that?... We want the party line from you, not the bare truth. Now, let's try again, before our super guests arrive ... The democrat party presidential hopefuls wouldn't like for you to depart from the party line while there here for their photo op."
