| Biden doesn't want us to be a "high-tech bully" |
| 2001-10-25 |
The Democratic chairman, Delaware's Joe Biden, weighed in earlier this week with the observation that if the U.S. keeps bombing Afghanistan, it will look like a "high-tech bully." InstaPundit.com has a great answer to this nonsense: Funny, but although it's always the right that's accused of thinking of warfare in terms of the schoolyard, it's always the left that uses metaphors like this one. War, of course, isn't a schoolyard. We aren't bombing Afghanistan to show off, or to get the attention of girls. We're doing it because it has been an integral part of the operation that killed thousands of Americans. "Fighting fair" means nothing in this context. Only winning. The Washington Times reports Biden also suggested to President Bush that he appoint Bill Clinton as a special envoy to the Mideast. "The suggestion reportedly drew an incredulous response from others at the meeting." |
