Another Weird Claim

And while we're on the subject of AirMoonbat, I was listening to Randi Rhodes the other day and as she usually does, she made another of her bizarre remarks. Actually there were two that I heard that demonstrate just how out of touch they are over there, why they have no listeners even in liberal New York, and why they will eventually be off the air for lack of advertisers who know a sinking ship when they see one.

The first weird statement she made was that our troops are "brainwashed" because most of them support the President and applauded at his recent speech. As one would expect from a member of The Angry Left, no evidence was offered for this insulting claim. It seems that it is beyond the understanding of the Angry Left to grasp that most people, including members of the military who volunteered to serve, might actually support the country and its elected President. But remember, don't question the left's "Patriotism."

The other odd thing she said was in reference to Iraq's progress in rebuilding. She made the claim, and I am paraphrasing here, that America had bombed Iraq plenty, but that there was no rebuilding or reconstruction. Now of course there is no question that during combat operations we used air power to take out Saddam's military installations and palaces. No one disputes this. But most of the operations in which we are engaged now are of the close combat, urban fighting variety. When was the last time you heard on the news about American aircraft engaged in large-scale bombing in Iraq? Neither have I. And as for reconstruction, one must conclude that Randi Rhodes is both incredibly stupid as well as incredibly ignorant. Because all that you have to do to find out what we, and the Iraqi people themselves have been doing to rebuild, is to go here and here and here.

I guess the "reality based community" is in need of remedial reading lessons.
