Saturday, April 05, 2003Saddam Has Nukes? Now here's a common argument against the war. President Bush and company are fearmongering, whipping the American sheep/people into a frenzy by suggesting that Saddam has nuclear weapons. Is that so? Here's a response that I gave to just one such anti-war commentator on our local FredTalk website. My absolute favorite of the bunch? In an effort to prove that President Bush was in effect scaring the American public with nuke-talk, this line of his October 2002 speech in Cincinnati was cited: Knowing these realities, America must not ignore the threat gathering against us. Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof -- the smoking gun -- that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud. Fearmongering! Oh no! Which the president immediately followed with this quote from none other than Jack Kennedy: As President Kennedy said in October of 1962, "Neither the United States of America, nor the world community of nations can tolerate deliberate deception and offensive threats on the part of any nation, large or small. We no longer live in a world," he said, "where only the actual firing of weapons represents a sufficient challenge to a nations security to constitute maximum peril." You mean Jack Kennedy said that?!? Ah liberals. Debating them only reminds me of General Lee commenting on the carnage during the First Battle of Fredericksburg -- "It is well that war is so terrible, lest we should grow too fond of it." So I have a conscience. Sure stuff needs to be said, but you almost feel bad picking apart the argument. I mean they really believe this stuff folks!
