The Battle of the Billboards - Part 2

Rocco's:
Talkin loud & not sayin much

Roses & More:
If you want to know why I don't trust Bush
Tune in to 790 AM KNST Friday Morning

So I did.

Turns out he didn't have much to say. He doesn't think Bush is a legitimate president (in which case he must think that neither Lincoln nor Clinton were legitimate, if he wants to be consistent) and he kept bleating the lie that GWB deceived us by saying Hussein was an imminent threat. To quote GWB's State of the Union,

Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike? If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words, and all recriminations would come too late. Trusting in the sanity and restraint of Saddam Hussein is not a strategy, and it is not an option.

He also claimed to be a student of history, drawing similarities between Iraq and the Gulf of Tonkin incident. However, he conveniently ignored the similarities between Iraq and Czechoslovakia, 1938. To be fair, though, none of the callers nor any of the radio station staff mentioned 1938 either.

The truth remains the best refutation of a lie. I think Inglis Florists is going to get more of my business from here on out.
