The Benedict Arnold Awards Will Go On
After much consideration, the decision has been made to proceed with the latest Benedict Arnold Awards. However, the red carpet entry ceremony has been cancelled due to security concerns.
As you may remember, the Benny is awarded to those Americans--like inaugural winner Sad Tom Daschle--whose opposition to the war on terrorist nations goes beyond legitimate opposition to actually aiding--inadvertently or intentionally--the cause of those seeking to destroy the United States. Today the Benny goes to Congressman Pete Stark for the following anti-U.S. rant as reported by the
San Francisco Chronicle:
In one of the most brutal critiques of the administration's policy toward Iraq by a member of Congress, East Bay Rep. Pete Stark said President Bush would be responsible for "an act of terror" by launching a massive bombing campaign to oust Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. "I think unleashing 3,000 smart bombs against the city of Baghdad in the first several days of the war . . . to me, if those were unleashed against the San Francisco Bay Area, I would call that an act of extreme terrorism," said Stark . . .
Stark, obviously, is a Democrat.
