The Battle of San Francisco
Where else but San Francisco would you see this:
Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval was invited on Fox News on Tuesday to discuss locating warships on San Francisco’s waterfront, but he ended up dropping a major bomb with the news channel’s conservative audience when he made the following statement: The United States should not have a military.
It's bad enough that they don't want the USS Iowa on their waterfront...now he says this?
The statement came after Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes grilled Sandoval for voting against stationing the USS Iowa on San Francisco Bay. Sandoval, who sided with the majority of his fellow supervisors, said he felt it was inappropriate to put a 10-story symbol of war on the Bay. But then, after saying he supported the battle against Germany and Japan during World War II, Sandoval was asked whether the United States should have a military.
His response: “I don’t think we should have a military. Absolutely,” according to a partial transcript posted on the Fox News Web site. [emphasis added]
If you'll continue reading the article, you'll see he backpedals a bit, but he never retracts it. Okay, if San Francisco gets hit by terrorists, maybe we should just let it burn. After all, wouldn't they be offended if the military swooped in to help?
JASmius adds: Yes, I do believe they would. But only after the fact. Never forget "9/11 commission syndrome," after all.
