That Kooky Gephardt
I admit that it must be hard to be a democrat presidential candidate these days. You of course need to criticise the President for everything he has ever done, but when you criticize, then things go well, you are really up the creek.Notice this quote from the Red SKull during his visit to Milwaukee recently:
"I said from early last year that if he was going to deal with Iraq, he had to get help," Gephardt said of Bush. He said he told the president, " 'This is going to be long, nasty and complicated, and you need to get the help of the entire world,' and he just has not done it."
1. We've gotten help.
2. There are 60 countries in the coalition.
3. We tried over and over to get the UN to support our actions in Iraq. We got a unanimous resolution, and gave up on a SECOND resolution when France threatened to veto ANY resolution which authorized the use of force.
Gephardt says we need "the whole world", well, he knows very well that the "whole world" was unwilling to go along. So, what does he propose we do? Nothing? He seems to advocate a course of action that would effectively give the French VETO power over US foreign policy.
Fuck that.
Fuck that.
