Citing Security Council resolutions, Ari Fleischer likened the danger Iraq posed to the 1962 threat Cuba posed with its nuclear-tipped missiles 90 miles away from Florida. "Just as President Kennedy imposed a quarantine around Cuba - "an act of war," Fleischer reportedly said - "to force it to remove nuclear missiles, Mr. Bush is acting to protect the United States from a threat that it would never see coming." I'd forgotten that one. Yup, Saddam was as much of a threat as the Cuban Missles, except for the small detail that Saddam did not have missles, did not have nukes, and was a weeeee bit farther away... Part of the classic web of lies spun by the Bush administration. Fleisher is looking like someone who cashed out of tech in 2000...he jumped at the right time.
