Know Thy Enemy
By Dave Weinbaum
If one could be bold enough to assert that our enemies do not include our own
president, George W. Bush, we can make progress toward identifying them.
Below are a few foes and some of our own policy and opinion makers. Take the
test and see how good you are at identifying those that would destroy us and those
in and out of power that play the politics of terrorism to our detriment.
Answers are below. Those that cheat get no fruit cup!!!! Good luck!

Know the difference between a parade and a charade
It is clear from the 29-21 Dem senator vote to go to war in 2002, which followed the
vote for regime change in Iraq in 1998, we considered Saddam an enemy worth
going to war with on both sides of the aisle. What’s changed between those votes?
The attacks and murders of 3,000 innocent Americans on 9/11/2001, along with the
temporary destruction of part of our economy and the symbolic attack on our culture,
government, religious freedom, and financial centers. The analogy is the attack on
Pearl Harbor. The day after FDR declared war on Japan knowing that Germany and
Italy would follow with their own war pledge against the USA.
Only 9/11 was much worse.
With almost the entire world concluding that Saddam had and was developing
WMDS, what president, Dem or Repub, could take a chance? Even poll watcher,
Bill Clinton, might have acted if still in office! Besides, if Iraq wasn’t home to many
al-Qaeda then, it certainly is now.
Better Baghdad than Boston, Ramadi than Rhode Island, and Fallujah than Florida.
Facts are that we haven’t had an attack on American soil in the almost 6 years. To
take the lives of those patriotic 3,500 American troops that sacrificed to achieve the
goals already achieved and those sought is a crime the far left is trying to hang on
Bush, at the expense of enabling our enemies to attack us in our homes, including
our fruited plains and bustling cities.
Is that worth the power they seek?
Those that don’t agree please ponder the quotes once you match them to the right
person, then contemplate their meaning and our shared future.
