Hatch sees a decade of war
Jennifer Weaver of The Spectrum shares a conversation she had recently with Sen. Orrin Hatch on how long the U.S. would be fighting in Iraq. Says Hatch:Let's be honest about it. ... I was asked how long I thought we'd be in Iraq and Afghanistan, and I said at least 10 years. ...
If we allow al-Qaida to flourish, these terrorists will take over the world and are willing to kill anyone who doesn't believe the way they do. Because of that, (the war is) not easy to walk away from. They will use oil revenues to spread terrorism and to destroy Israel that we can't walk out on because we have commitments to Israel."
Weaver opines that the Iraq War is not about weapons of mass destruction or a direct threat to the U.S. It is about Israel:
Yes, Hatch was right when he said it's going to take at least 10 years because Israel is volatile and the minute it falls, so does the U.S. Why? Because Iran will rise up with its extremist Islamic front with Hezbollah, Hamas and al-Qaida, committed to installing its theocratic dominance throughout the world, and will ultimately press for the destruction of the West. ...
The (Gen. David) Petraeus report pretty much supported that notion, and thus, the war rages on — along with my weariness for the Bush administration to finally come clean about protecting Israel. At least Hatch threw me a bone.

This poor senator seems to be drifting further and further out of reality. It is sad to see.
