Iraq War - So what now?
There is a famous scene from the Untouchables in which it looks like there will be no case against Capone. Malone (Sean Connery) turns to Eliott Ness (Kevin Cosner) and says, “So, what are you going to do now?” I feel like liberals all across the country have turned to the Senate and said the same thing. The answer that seems to be coming out of the Senate (Joe Biden and Carl Levin leading the way) is to revoke the original authorization. Let’s remember that the case to go to war was built on a 3 legged stool - Iraq buys uranium from Niger, 9/11 hijacker meeting with an Iraqi official in Prague and mobile biochemical weapons laboratories. All of these points have been found to be 100% untrue. Therefore, if you are basing a war on those facts, it seems to make sense that if the facts prove to be untrue you should be able to revoke the authorization. All I can say is that I hope that this works.
There seems to be a push from some Democrats to dust off Al Gore and get him to run to President. Why? I have nothing against Al Gore. We know him. We know what he stands for. We know that he didn’t or couldn’t or wouldn’t get the job done in 2000. Don’t we have enough Democrats running for President? What does Al bring to the table that none of the other Democrats have…experience.
