Incompetent Fools, the Lot of Them

I am up waaaaaay too late doing this, but it just chaps my a$%: Hillary plays the "think of the children!" card, B. Hussein Obama tries to claim that Iraq posed no threat.

How many times must I repeat myself? Iraq was every bit the threat Afghanistan was. From CNN's own archives, February 13, 1999:

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has offered asylum to bin Laden, who openly supports Iraq against the Western powers.

The plain fact is, Saddam Hussein had no interest in being a civilized player on the world stage, and actually desired to be an uncivilized player. To that end, he was willing to play host to al-Qaeda's well-heeled head (and to hell with his own people subjects) in order to antagonize the West, especially the United States, after such a humiliating rout from Kuwait.

Further, Hillary's husband knew the danger Iraq posed:

"If Saddam can cripple the weapons inspections system and get away with it, he would conclude the international community, led by the United States, has simply lost its will," said Clinton. "He would surmise that he has free rein to rebuild his arsenal of destruction."

For B. Hussein Obama to claim that Iraq posed no threat is worse than ignorance of history. It is paving the way for the next terrorist attack on the United States.

Hillary knows that her proximity to history, coupled with her "representation" of the state most victimized on 9/11, makes withdrawal from Iraq politically very dangerous to her campaign. So she turns to the fear-mongering appeal to "think of the children!" She wants the United Nations village, not the parents, to raise the children, remember? The children's parents don't matter to her... except on Election Day.

These two are so incompetent in their campaigning, I wouldn't trust them to close the door in winter, let alone protect the freest people in history.
