It may not be an avalanche, but it is a precious little turd in the punchbowl.
Last time in our little update section we predicted that David Turney was going to run afoul of they who venerate the Sacred Bush. Did ye doubt it? Oh ye of little faith.
And on the fifth day he that was called Richard Determan did come forth with his epistle, and it was read by all the peoples, and thereafter for a generation and six he was known as a great git.
Turney said that Bush “lied to the United Nations and the American people in order to have his war in Iraq, did he not? He was the aggressor and should be brought to trial for his war crimes.”
To this Determan says:
“First, I don't think President Bush is the only one who wanted to depose Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, and he cannot authorize war without congressional backing.
Turney needs to wake up and remember 9/11.
Terrorists around the world started the war, and yes, Saddam was funding, in part, the Taliban and al-Qaida with black market oil, which still goes on.
Does Turney think it was humane when terrorists attacked the United States? If he does, then he needs to join them in Iraq.”Amarillo Globe-News, October 7, 2007
Oh doth the world tremble! Bush was bullied into war. It was all 9/11’s fault. Saddam funded the Taliban and al-Qaida! If you don’t believe it you’re a terrorist!
What a classic! No matter how many times the Saddam-al-Qaida connection is refuted; no matter how many times right-wingers say they never said it, never read it, never believed it, along comes another Richard Determan, representing over 60% of the country, to prove them wrong. And just to prove Determan knows he is absolutely Right, let us note his traditional conservative invitation to (loosely translated) “get the hell out of my country!”
Richard, when you want to start looking for those WMD’s I’ll buy you a shovel.
This has been brought to you by the opinion editor providing us the best in complete idiots, loonies and great gits for a long, long time, "The Nose." “If I can't smell it, does it stink?”
