Subject: You had to know you were lying about what Rangel said.

[Leo 9]

Here's an e-mail I sent to a local right wing radio host.

Scott V.

He didn't say we'd never go to war if there was a draft.

What he said was "if there had been a draft in 2003, the U.S. never
would
have gone to war because politicians wouldn't want to put their own
sons and
daughters in harm's way"

Of course any who voted for the resolution, or believed this
administration
only wanted to force inspections were fools.

The inspectors were inspecting and saying there was no need to go to
war
because they weren't finding anything.

The administration ignored them, and ridiculed them through their
media.

If there'd been a draft in 2003, it wouldn't have been so politically
easy
to do that, or to have continued the occupation for so long.

You'd also find it much harder to sell waging preemptive war on Iran
Syria
Venezuela etc,or any questionable war, if there was a draft.

Barring having war declared on us, I personally don't support a draft.

It's better that we realize our limitations under the current
circumstances
and act accordingly.

You know, or you should know by now, that Al Qaeda is one of the
smallest
and least influential of all the recognized groups making up the
insurgency
in Iraq.

The overwhelming majority of insurgents in Iraq are not outsiders to
Iraq.

They fight Al Qaeda, along with fighting us and each other.

If we leave, Al Qaeda has no prospect of taking over in Iraq or
anywhere
else outside of their safe haven in northern Pakistan.

If we leave, the overwhelming majority of insurgents in Iraq have no
intention of coming here to kill anyone.

You spread irrational fears.

If any terrorist training camps should get set up, we can always drop
bombs
on them.

That would be a lot cheaper than what we're doing now.

Also the man you call a dwarf, Dennis Kucinich, is right.

If you cut the funding, you end the war, no matter what this or any
administration thinks.

I sometimes wonder if what you're doing is a parody of your typical
right
wing radio insult comic clown, or should I say right wing radio insult
comic
clone.

If you actually think there's a future in being part of the evil
movement
that calls itself conservative, think again.

More and more people are recognizing the cons of the so called
conservative
movement, and fewer and fewer people are believing it.

As long as the so called conservative movement's lie machine remains
intact,
the more ridiculous it will become as it gets further and further away
from
reality.

And thank you for taking my call a week or two ago.

That you take real calls rather than relying on scripted shills, or
call
screening to the point of eliminating anyone who might have an
effective
argument to make against your's, well, that puts you far above those
syndicated flim flam artists who dare not do so.
