American Samizdat

Wednesday, October 15, 2003. *
Barney Frank is without any question one of the most liberal members of Congress. He voted against authorizing the invasion of Iraq, for example. But given that the invasion did take place, here's what he has to say now about the request for $87 billion more for war: "The president is justifiably seeking funds to replace the weapons and ammunition consumed in the war in Iraq."

What does Frank think these replacement weapons and ammunition are going to be used for? Surely he knows that the answer is for future invasions of Syria, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and more, or at the very least for threatening invasions of those countries in order to force them to bend to the will of the world's superpower. Is this the kind of foreign policy that Frank wants to become an "enabler" for? Apparently so. Because if Frank votes today for buying more cruise missiles to replace the ones used to create "shock and awe" in Baghdad, surely he knows that tomorrow they'll be aimed at Damascus, Tehran, and Pyongyang.
