Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) said on Tuesday that the civil war in Libya was like the onset of the Holocaust and the Rwandan genocide in that it demanded action from the forces of good.
| Why, that's almost 'neo-con' in its outlook... |
"My view is that there are times in American history — Rwanda was one, bombing the tracks during the onset to the Holocaust, that we could have sent a bomber wing in to take out the tracks, we didn't do it — we look back and we see we should use military force to try and defend people who can’t defend themselves," Weiner said Monday on the Don Imus show in New York.
| You mean like in Iraq, 2003? |
“If we are a powerful country one of the ways we use our power is for good," Weiner said. “What’s the purpose of being a powerful country if we are not using it to defend people?”
| Because a progressive agenda doesn't want us to be powerful and certainly doesn't want us to defend anyone... |
Although Weiner defended Obama's decision to lead a coalition on the initial attack, he said the president had erred by initiating the conflict without first seeking the permission of Congress, which according to the Constitution holds the sole power to declare war.
“I do believe the president made a mistake by not going to Congress and asking for permission,” Weiner said.
| So the LightWorker isn't quite perfect, even by Anthony's standards... |
