Neocon advice; torch your house so you don't waste that home insurance!

[LynnTheDem]

During his debate with Dean, Perle says this at minute marker 21:19:

"I'm sometimes asked now that we know there were not weapons of mass destruction in Iraq shouldn't we re-evatulate the decisions to go to war and that seems to me a little bit like deciding at the end of the year not that it was foolish to have purchased insurance becuase your house didn't burn down."

:eyes:

Yeah, going to war is like buying insurance. $300 billion and counting, 1,500 dead and over 10,000 maimed American soldiers, Hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians either dead, maimed, or suffering the loss of their loved ones... but good thing we paid that "insurance premium", because just imagine -- Iraq might've had weapons of mass destruction!!! WTF?

The more apt analogy, if Perle wants to go there, is purposefully torching your house at the end of the year, otherwise your insurance money might've gone to waste.

Perle gets dumber every time his lips flap.

2. And every man is a rapist - because he has the tools for it.

And every woman is a prostitute for the same reasons.
