History
I enjoyed Whittle's rebuttal but I have a question. Since this was a "drive by" posting by googlers in a cyber dual, I guess I wont get an answer.
I'd like to ask what he thinks of some of his own comments from 2003?
"Those who oppose this war may not be willing to face the pages of history that will forever remain unwritten by us taking this action in Iraq. But two things we can be assured of, and both of them are worth noting in these anxious times."http://www.ejectejecteject.com/archives/000039.html
"First, while we cannot say that Weapons of Mass Destruction will never be used against the United States, we can -- because of this courageous action -- say that they will not be Iraqi weapons. A swamp littered with chemical weapons shells, with anthrax-dispersing jet aircraft, and with a robust, stubborn and dedicated nuclear weapons program is being drained nightly before our eyes. That is a great victory."
"Second, while the long-term outcome is hard to see through the fog of war, we are in fact sending our own children to die to set a people free. When Saddam�s murdering henchmen are dead and gone, when he and his psychopathic regime lie burning and shattered like his posters and statues, we may � or may not � see people emerge from three decades of horror to greet us as liberators, once they truly realize that doing so will not cost them their lives."
