April 2003 - Joe Scarborough names names, tells Bush critics to 'apologize' & admit war was right

Spoken at the height of flight suit addled premature declaration of victory - I wonder if MSNBC's flagship daytime host, Joe Dead Intern, stands by this commentary now? Kinda clashes with the facade he's used to reinvent himself as a 'reasonable' Republican?



Now, Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld all three warned of the dangers inherent of leaving such a thug in power. All three laid out a road map for winning this war. And you know what? In each and every case, they were exactly right. And yet, these three visionaries have been the target of abuse from left-wing stooges on Capitol Hill, in Hollywood and, of course, at the United Nations.

Now, just last night, in case you haven't heard this yet, Jane Fonda -- remember her -- told a Canadian audience that the entire world was uniting against America because of this war in Iraq, and that Americans were ignorant of history and ignorant of the world. Less than 24 hours later, as you can see on the screen here, people are dancing in the streets of Baghdad. They're kissing pictures of President Bush, and they're tearing down statues of Saddam Hussein. I wonder if we'll get an apology from Jane Fonda tonight. I doubt it.

I also doubt that politicians like John Kerry and Dennis Kucinich are going to tell us what we already know: That they were dead wrong about the war, they were dead wrong about George Bush's war plan, and most importantly, they were dead wrong about the need to liberate the people of Iraq.

Heading west, I wonder if Janeane Garofalo still thinks George Bush is as dangerous to the world as Saddam Hussein. If so, I suggest she takes a trip to Baghdad like her buddy Sean Penn and talk to the children who lost their parents to Saddam's torture factories. Or maybe she could talk to the fathers whose wives and children were gassed to death by Saddam and his cousin, Chemical Ali.
