Oh sweet Jesus!

[Democratic Senator Zell Miller] advocated that the U.S. ‘bomb the hell out of” Iraq. After receiving criticisms for the comment he defended his remarks saying, “So far 12,000 tons -- 24 million pounds -- of bombs have been dropped on our enemies. If that's not bombing the hell out of them, I don't know what is. I received some criticism [for the remark, but] the criticism did not come from any who, as I just a few days after the attacks, had stood on Ground Zero amid that smoldering pile of rubble that had become the graveyard for thousands of innocent Americans.” He then reiterated his position saying, “And as far as I'm concerned, it means at some time -- maybe not next, but some time -- going after Saddam Hussein. We don't have to prove he was involved with Sept. 11 or with Al Qaeda. We know he hates the United States.” He also recommended reinstating the draft. [Atlanta Business Chronicle 1/14/02]
