Standing Up For Iraq
Last night on Hardball with Chris Matthews they had on two women at President Bush's ranch who support the Iraq war--anti-Cindy Sheehans, if you will. One of them was apparently an Iraqi.
I thought it not a little suspicious that an Iraqi woman would just happen to be in Crawford, Texas, for this kind of thing. Then when I heard this, the staged protester alert really went off:
MATTHEWS: Let me ask you this. How many years should the United States stay in Iraq and defend the side that you�re on?Hmmm. When the Iraqi people stand up . . . the Americans will stand down. That sounds awfully familiar. Isn't it a real coincidence that an Iraqi just happened to use Bush's language?LAMOTTE: I think when...
MATTHEWS: How many years?
LAMOTTE: I think when Iraqi people can be�stand up on their own, at that time.
Surprise! Turns out that the woman apparently isn't just your random Iraqi off the street.
