Daley tells his stand on Iraq

As the war in Iraq heats up debate in Washington and produces growing division across the nation, Mayor Richard Daley said Thursday he has staked a middle position on the issue--but it sounded very much like President Bush's.

...

"Were people wrong when they fought Hitler?" he asked. "He didn't do anything against us. He didn't invade the United States."

So Daley, whose son, Patrick, is in the U.S. Army, supports the war in Iraq?

"I didn't say that," the mayor responded. "I support the men and women in the military."

3. Wow. He sounds brilliant! We illegally invade a country. We know we

were in the wrong...but lets keep it up a while longer just for the hell of it.

4. Hitler declared war on the US after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor

and the US declared war against Japan. The US did NOT declare war against Hitler until AFTER Hitler declared war against the US.

Saddam Hussein did NOT declare war against the US and did not have the capability to wage one.
