Right on! I sent the following letter to The Washington Times and to several Congressmen.
Nancy Pelosi, Democrat leader in the House, thinks she could have brought down the statue of Saddam Hussein in Baghdad for less money. Prey tell, HOW?
Standing off shore and firing missiles? Clinton tried that in his 1998 "Monica Storm" campaign, and it didn’t even deter the House from impeaching him.
Having Jim McDermott dance in the streets of Baghdad? We didn’t see any wild celebrations by the Iraqi’s then, did we? (p> Nothing like "Iraqi Freedom" happened on Mr. Clinton’s watch either. Not after the WTC attack in 1993, Mogadishu in 1993, Khobar Towers in 1995, or attacks on US embassies in Africa in 1998 and on the USS Cole in 2000. All Mr. Clinton accomplished was to provoke September 11 and provide material for Iraqi training films on how to defeat the Americans (Black Hawk Down).
Clinton also tried the less money route, but what America got in return was a weakening of her capabilities. His disdain for the military destroyed their morale, his implementation of political correctness policies brought down their effectiveness, he used up munitions stocks while not replenishing them, and his budget cuts slowed critical weapons development programs
Call in Mr. Carter? Well, his track record includes a blindness that allowed N. Korea to continue their nuclear weapons program, and a political partisanship that led him to ask Russia’s secret service to help defeat Reagan. Twice even!
Have the UN uncover WMD’s? What a sick joke! We’re seeing how sick now, and will see more evidence of their inspectors’ incompetence in future days.
And how Ms. Pelosi would you have freed the children from Saddam’s prisons? Call in Janet Reno? Well, she accomplished the opposite result in Waco, and sending Elian Gonzales back into the prison of Cuba was a disgusting travesty to justice and humanity.
Bring the statue down for less money? No Ms. Pelosi, I don’t think so. Neither you, nor anyone in your party has the foresight, the desire, nor the will to bring about what President Bush and his team have done. In three short weeks!
Your party’s methods have been proven to provoke tyrants rather than deter them, to prolong suffering rather than to halt it, to leave America open for attack rather than to secure her shores. All with unnecessary and high costs in lives, freedom, national security and, in the long run, money.
Shame on you, Ms. Pelosi, shame on your party, shame on your sick and continual criticism of a country whom you are unfit to serve.
DED, Re your tag line. I like to think of the Democrats as "Learning Disabled". or LD (whick fits right in with Liberal Democrats). So just refer to them as LD's, and we get a double entendre. Of course one could trump that with a triple entendre, but I haven't come up with that trifecta yet.
