Probably off-topic on this thread, but I loved William Bennett's question to Alan Colmes on H&C. Colmes was defending Susan Sarandon's anti-war bleatings, noting that her question "What did Iraq ever do to us?" had not been answered.

Bennett retorted, "Well, what did Hitler ever do to us?"

There were so many, but I think one of the most powerful was the statement to the people of Iraq:

"Your enemy isn't surrounding your country. Your enemy is ruling your country."

"And tonight I have a message for the brave and oppressed people of Iraq: Your enemy is not surrounding your country - your enemy is ruling your country. And the day he and his regime are removed from power will be the day of your liberation."

"Tonight I also have a message for the men and women who will keep the peace, members of the American Armed Forces: Many of you are assembling in and near the Middle East, and some crucial hours may lie ahead. In those hours, the success of our cause will depend on you. Your training has prepared you. Your honor will guide you. You believe in America, and America believes in you."


HOOAH! Mr. President. Well said.

HOMERUN Bennett!!! LOL!

MY favorite SOTU quote (Paraphrased as I don't remember it exactly :
"To date we have captured # Al Quida terrorists and many others have, well let's just say they won't be a threat to America anymore"

Thanks, it's not off topic, but not quite there. If you want to elaborate, please, I'd love to hear your opinions. Like I said before, I'd like to hear logical opinions, why did this strike you as important? How does this relate to the current administration and the near future political implications?

Bleatings. I love that word and the way you used it.

"Bennett retorted, "Well, what did Hitler ever do to us?"

I liked that too. We've gotten off a lot of great shots at the RATS tonight.

Other than attacking 4 destroyers in the Atlantic, sinking one, and declaring war on us on Dec 9th, not much. But then Bennett is glib rather than bright, so what do you expect?

Bennett retorted, "Well, what did Hitler ever do to us?"

And what did Milosovik ever do to us Ms. Sarandan?

Your bias is showing.

I saw that too. I am not Bennett's buggest fan but that was outstanding.
