What an Idiot
In today's column Eugene Kane gloats like a beer-brashed jock whose team just won a ball game.He's gloating because David Clarke lost out in the mayoral primary on Tuesday. He's gloating at Charlie Sykes because Charlie supported Clarke.
Well nyahh nyahh nyahh to you too!
In his pointless column he tries to imply that Sykes predicted a Clarke win, which I'm not sure he ever did, but who cares? Sometimes your guy loses, sometimes he wins.
Then Kane goes on to make fun of Sykes by claiming that talk radio has no impact on the community and is not a relevant voice.
Please.
If it was so irrelevant, why does Kane even feel the need to write anything about them?
He then throws in a cheap shot about Sykes predicting that WMDs would be found, implying that conservatives have no answer for that.
As I've shown before, Kane doesn't appear to pay much attention to news or non-liberal opinion. If he did, he'd first realize that WMDs were just one of many reasons Bush laid out for the war. The place where Bush "made the case" for the war was the 2002 SOTU address. He could easily look it up, if he cared about the truth, which he doesn't.
On top of that, conservatives DO have several answers for the WMD flap:
1. Saddam DID have the weapons. The only question is where were they on the eve of the war.
2. Were they buried? Destroyed? Shipped to Syria? Any of these are possibilities.
3. If it turns out that Saddam did destroy all the weapons like he said he did, then we were all wrong, including almost all Democrats, the CIA, the Brits, Tony Blair, the UN, and every intelligence agency in the free world. Everyone believed they were there because Saddam acted like they were there. He's used them before and there was no reason to believe that he wouldn't use them again.
4. And finally, acting against Saddam was the right thing to do and we as conservatives aren't ashamed or non-committal about it now. We removed a brutal dictator, liberated 26 million people, and established a peaceful democracy oasis in the middle of a largely fascist, racist, extremist, and violent region. To act as we did believing the weapons were there was the right thing to do. Looking the other way as we believed he was building these weapons would have been the wrong thing to do, ...unforgivable, actually.
5. And finally (again), we did find reams of evidence that Saddam planned to restart his programs someday. Had we followed Kane's (and the left's) position on the war before it started, we'd have backed off, sent in the inspectors until they found nothing, then lifted sanctions and given Saddam a clean bill of health, ...Saddam would have started up his programs on the very next day, endangering the region and the world. But you never see Kane defending the inevitable outcomes of his opinions.
