Amusing Scott McInnis statement - 3/18/2003

[zbdent]

on the eve of the war (as recorded in the Congressional Record):

"Take a look at Afghanistan 2 years ago and take a look at Afghanistan today, the liberation that took place there. Take a look at the people in the villages running up and hugging the soldiers, people offering the soldiers food, applauding them, cheering them. Take a look at Iraq a year from today. As a challenge, take a look at that, where the people will be a year from today versus the oppression that they are under today under this regime. Do my colleagues think we would have gotten there through negotiations with the United Nations?"

Okay, so I'm a few weeks late. But I wonder if McInnis would like to hop on over to Fallujah for some of those hugs and food?
