Ask and yon wingnut will deliver
Flanagan Doe in Atrios's comments says:
Wait, you don't think that Hussein is poised to attack us and our interests with the tons upon tons of sarin, VX, anthrax, smallpox and the other assorted cooties he's been hiding up his ass or somewhere and waiting to unleash at the right moment?
That's not what this is all about? The Republic was never threatened? Well then, I DEMAND a lackadasical response from a wingnut saying that it doesn't really matter because Hussein was bad anyway.
You mean like this?
What appalls me about this morning’s Paul Krugman NYTimes column about WMDs are not the factual errors, bad as they may be, reported on Instapundit and elsewhere, but the continued “Old Consciousness” Krugman’s article represents. He and, alas, too many of my one-time allies on the Left are still mired in a “gotcha game,” attempting to dethrone George Bush at all costs, as if that were the most important action in the world, while the rest of us have moved on.
This “Old Consciousness,” call it politics-as-usual or pre-9/11 or Party Politics, if you will, has placed Krugman and his ilk clearly, and I assume inadvertently, on the side of fascism—what should be a very uncomfortable spot for a left/liberal, former or otherwise.
[snip]
But Krugman must get the demon Bush, using any pretext he can, the WMDs in this case. But let’s give Paul his due. Let’s stipulate, even though we have no way of knowing at this point, the presence of these weapons was exaggerated by the administration; I still say—so what? Saddam’s gone. It was worth it. And I ask Krugman this simple question: What if some leader had used a similar ruse to get rid of Hitler in 1940? What would he think of that?
Hitler = Saddam....wow. Talk about your “Old Consciousness”.
...and remember: pre-9/11 party politics is so, well, pre-9/11, and we all know now that.....Everything changed on 9/11.(repeat...don't think about it...repeat...don't think about it...repeat...and rinse your mind)
