Iʻll go with politics today:) My Obama supporting friends please skip this post. I would like to share a bit of then Sen. Obamaʻs response to President Bushʻs "invasion" of Iraq.
Here is what he said:
"But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors, that the Iraqi economy is in shambles, that the Iraqi military a fraction of its former strength, and that in concert with the international community he can be contained until, in the way of all petty dictators, he falls away into the dustbin of history."
Humm...Here is what he said about Libya:
"I believe that Gadhafi is on the wrong side of history. I believe that the Libyan people are anxious for freedom and the removal of somebody who has suppressed them for decades now."
I guess the President would have us believe that unlike Saddam, Gadhafi is/was posing a direct threat to the United States.
Oh how I hope this is his "read my lips, no new taxes" and will cost him a second term!
