Pretend it's McCainIf John McCain were the President, how would he justify invading Iraq?"During the Cold War our defensive posture against the Soviet Union was one of Mutually Assured Destruction, and the USSR held to that same philosophy regarding us. For decades the world's two superpowers competed in a Cold War, but by the grace of God not in a Nuclear War.
"In 1987 Ronald Reagan, recognizing the signs of a desperate Soviet Union, and taking advantage of the moment, snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. I'm speaking, of course, of that momentous speech Mr. Reagan gave in 1987, in front of Berlin's Brandeburg Gate. With his words President Reagan accelerated the collapse of the Soviet Union -- and ultimately communism.
"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
"Although the Cold War was not specifically engineered as a "wait and see" endeavor, it eventually became as much. In retrospect, the Cold War was geniunely a peaceful solution to an ominous predicament.
"However, we can not find an equal approach with regards to terrorism. As foul as Communism and all its expressions were, terrorism is a much seedier and more devious mindset, and as far as I know, there is no humane manner in which we can safely square off in philosophical and strategic terms with the likes of terrorist groups.
"Now, I realize the direct connection between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden is a fuzzy one, and so I won't try to redirect your focus to any fuzzy tangents with which some people might presume to link these two men. Let us dispense with that pretense: I'm not going to stand here and tell you there is something to the relationship between these two men sufficiently urgent to warrant sending our nation's fighting men and women into harm's way.
"On the other hand, no meaningful and productive contemplation of Saddam Hussein can ignore the reality of those well-documented atrocities which he has perpetrated toward others, not the least harrowing of which are those acts he has carried out against his own people. There can be no doubt that Saddam Hussein is an evil man.
"Furthermore, it goes without saying that the Middle East is a major source of anti-American sentiment. The recent terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 showed the world that our nation is not as invulnerable as many previously thought. It follows, then, that any anti-American regime who witnessed the atrocities of 911 immediately reconsidered his national strategy. There are simply the matters of time and logistics, I'm convinced, before Hussein permanently alters his strategy toward a more proactive anti-American terrorism-basis.
"Therefore, I submit to you all, that we must move in and remove this man from Iraq. . ."
Somehow this actually makes me feel better.

If you're fed up with the hypocrisy of the world's most biased news network then this site will make you smile. I hope you find all this as laughable as the Fox News (sic) Channel itself.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Hollywood Denver). . . .Ratings for Robert Blake's new FOX show, Screaming Legals are skyrocketing! Despite rumors that FOX has hired him for his shock value, we feel that Blake has a unique and valuable, marketable, unique perspective to offer the world. After all, he's been in jail - unlike anyone else we feature - and he's seen up Barbara Walter's nostrils (ditto)!

Political Correctness Endangers Freedom
By Geraldo Rivera Brit Gunray(Original print date March 27, 2002)
Yesterday, in my pursuit of simply enjoying a mild, spring day, while snacking on some home made French Freedom fries and listening to the latest Dixie Chicks Brahms album, something very scary occurred to me: America is a free nation, but in this day of suicide homicide bombers and rogue nations with nuclear and chemical Weapons of Mass Destruction bombs, our freedom is, at best, tenuous. We have to guard those freedoms with all our might.Perhaps our greatest freedom is the freedom of speech ability to shut up in time of war, and the greatest threat to speech is political correctness shutting up and supporting the war.
Now, it doesn't take a whole heck of a lot of logic Intellectual Honesty to see this. Given our current state of elevated vigilance, certain legal imperatives, like Martial Law The Patriot Act and racism Racial Profiling at places like international airports and on borders is a necessary evil.
My coworker and compatriot, Retired Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Caffaso Retired Lietenant Colonel Oliver North -- who, as an American Soldier Liberator once fought toe-to-toe with Iraqi combatants Death Squad Enforcers from the Elite Republican Regular Guard -- says it best: "strong people have the courage to face ugly truths."
We should all strive to escape the urge to hide uncomfortable thoughts with a bunch of O'Reilly-esque Spin verbal fluff. Then we'll all be able to enjoy the simplicity of a mild, spring day.B.G.
