Speaking before the American Legion convention this week, the secretary of defense aptly dared to compare the voices of today's critics of the war on terror and our policies toward Iran and North Korea with the sentiment that took root in the 1930s. To wit: "If only the growing threats that had begun to emerge in Europe and Asia could be appeased," a repeat of World War I could be avoided.
Where have i heard this argument recently? Who has been saying we need to talk, or let sanctions work?.......... Maybe it was the doomed crowd....... yeah i think that's it......

Man, I just love a good Nazi comparison! I only wish Rummy had referred to the hippies as "nattering Neville Chamberlains of negativity!"
He didn't?
Heres the problem that I have with the anti-war position of the democrat party. Its false. Im not saying its wrong, which it is, but rather that it is phony.
These same people opposed to the war now are the same ones that supported the bombing of Kosovo. The same people that supported Somalia, before it got ugly and we "cut and ran" the same people that supported President Clinton's use of force in Iraq when they repeatedly violated UN sanctions and No FLy Zones, they are the same people that supported Carter's covert missions into Iran, Bush I's Desert Storm, the same people that supported JFK's Bay of Pigs as well as Vietnam and only turned on LBJ's version of Nam when the media told them to and then ended up blaming the whole thing on Pres Richard M Nixon.
These are the same people that voted in support of giving President George W Bush the right to use force in Afganistan and Iraq. The same people that change their position according to polls and media opinion. In a word, they are opportunistic weather vane ideologue pussies.
Do you honestly think that if 80+% of Americans supported this war that you'd hear a single fricking peep from the left of the aisle???
Listen, Ive been know to throw the H bomb around on occasion, and I have no doubt that there are some hippies out in the tress somewhere that are truly anti-war peaceniks (if you stick your nose out your window and the wind is blowing the right way, you just might be able to catch a hint of patchouli) but Im telling ya they aint in the Democrat Party, and that is why they will once again lose in November.
