The pro-war, any war crowd just can’t wait for more chest-thumpin’ fun! Arthur Borden, the author of “A Better Country: Why America Was Right to Confront Iraq,” rallies the laptop bombardiers and other Neocon faithful with this other-worldly, damn-the-consequences war whoop:
President Bush was right to confront Iraq. While the decision to go to war is in the past and cannot be reversed, the emerging consensus that it was a mistake is not. Unless we can revisit the debate over the invasion, and comprehend President Bush’s reasons for removing Saddam Hussein, we will be unprepared to debate policy toward Iran – and potentially ill-equipped to prevent Tehran from achieving the regional domination through weapons of mass destruction (WMD), which we denied Baghdad.
In other words: Forget the lies that led us into a counter-productive, obscenely wasteful war, and let’s get on with the next one!
I am moved to verse:
Arthur Borden took an ax.
He chopped and trashed some awkward facts
That halted Dubya’s Mid-East plan
So Neocons can bomb Iran.

“We know now that by evicting the weapons inspectors in 1998, Saddam initiated a game of bluff. He would let the inspectors return if necessary, but only to certify that he had no WMD, whereupon they could be evicted again. Then he would be free of the inspections and of the sanctions for good. Uncontained, and without on-the-ground monitoring, he would quickly awaken his hibernating nuclear program and acquire WMD. His long-term intent was clear. Thus absent his removal, Saddam was on course to win the game.”
This guy is seriously delusional.

Filmer,
You don’t have to be delusional to be a loyal war supporter, but it sure helps.

This has got to be a major PR problem for Israel?……….Or, maybe it will be as Olmert said, “NOBODY JUDGES ISRAEL!”
