They aren't traitors. They're just on the other side. The same way
they were in WW2. Thank God (or Allah, in their case) they're utterly
incompetent or we'd have to worry about them.


I know it's hard to swallow, folks, but we became upset with the
French because they wanted no part of preemptively invading Iraq
because of their presumed Weapons of Mass Destruction.

It's hard to swallow, I know, but they were right: there were no
Weapons of Mass Destruction there. That makes us and the
British wrong.

It wasn't the first time we've been wrong , and it won't be the last,
I expect.
We were mad that a simple low cost conspiracy killed 1000's of US
citizens at work in the US - and we wanted to lash out at the
perpetrators, and we DID lash out at the perpetrators in Afghanistan -
but then we took our eye off of that particular ball.....
