MR. McCLELLAN: Well, Helen, the President recognizes that we are engaged in a global war on terrorism. And when you're engaged in a war, it's not always pleasant, and it's certainly a last resort. But when you engage in a war, you take the fight to the enemy, you go on the offense. And that's exactly what we are doing. We are fighting them there so that we don't have to fight them here. September 11th taught us --My God, McClelland, what year do you think this is, 2002? Maybe your predecessor could get away with that crap a few years ago, but the times they are a-changin'.
Q It has nothing to do with -- Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.
MR. McCLELLAN: Well, you have a very different view of the war on terrorism, and I'm sure you're opposed to the broader war on terrorism. The President recognizes this requires a comprehensive strategy, and that this is a broad war, that it is not a law enforcement matter.
Terry Moran of ABCNews instantly called McClelland on his horseshit remark about Thomas:
Q On what basis do you say Helen is opposed to the broader war on terrorism?Timelad posted this comment at Daily Kos in response to McClelland's idiotic remark:
MR. McCLELLAN: Well, she certainly expressed her concerns about Afghanistan and Iraq and going into those two countries. I think I can go back and pull up her comments over the course of the past couple of years.
Q And speak for her, which is odd.
MR. McCLELLAN: No, I said she may be, because certainly if you look at her comments over the course of the past couple of years, she's expressed her concerns -
Q I'm opposed to preemptive war, unprovoked preemptive war.
MR. McCLELLAN: -- she's expressed her concerns.
Surgeon: "I'm happy to report that the operation was a big success."Right on.
Patient: "But you amputated the wrong arm!"
Surgeon: "Well, you may have a different view, Helen, and I'm sure you're opposed to the idea of surgery in general...."
