THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE
There has, of late, been a glut of left leaning writers and
speakers condemning the "Bush Doctrine" of preemptive war as an immoral, if not
illegal, act. Many have even gone so far as to demand that articles of
impeachment be initiated against him for "war crimes" for attacking Iraq under
what they claim were "false pretenses." Not the least of the president's critics
is Senator Barack Obama, the presidential nominee for the democratic party.
Senator Obama claims that he opposed the war in Iraq from the beginning.
Fortunately for him, Illinois state legislatures don't actually get to vote on
such matters and therefore he didn't actually have to take his position on
record. If he had, one wonders if he would have opposed it the same as he did the
recent FISA bill. Which is to say he opposed it right up until the point that he
voted in favor of it. His recent rhetoric on Iraq suggests he will say whatever
you want him to say.
