FAUX KLINGONS SENDING REAL AMERICANS TO WAR
(Mr. WU asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. WU. Mr. Speaker, 4 years ago, this administration took America to
war in Iraq without adequate evidence. Since that time, the
administration has not listened to the American people, it hasn't
listened to our professional military, and it certainly hasn't listened
to this Congress.
It was said of a prominent businessman in downtown Portland that he
never listened to anybody and that if he was ever drawn in a cartoon he
would be drawn without ears.
Now, this President has listened to some people, the so-called
Vulcans in the White House, the ideologues. But unlike the Vulcans of
Star Trek, who made the decisions based on logic and fact, these guys
make it on ideology. These aren't Vulcans. There are Klingons in the
White House. But unlike the real Klingons of Star Trek, these Klingons
have never fought a battle of their own.
Don't led faux Klingons send real Americans to war. It is wrong.
