Dear Secretary Powell,

I have a trivia question for you.

QUESTION: Who said, “I am angry that so many sons of powerful and well-placed...managed to wangle slots in Reserve and National Guard units. Of the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class discrimination strikes me as the most damaging to the ideal that all Americans are created equal and owe equal allegiance to the country...”?

ANWSER: It was you! Remember when you said that in your book in 1995?

You were just speaking in a theoretical sense, weren’t you? You weren’t talking about anybody in particular--like John Connally’s kid or Lloyd Bentsen’s kid, were you? The Liberal Media are trying to twist your words around so it sounds like you were talking about Our President. The nerve of some people! The records prove Our President went to the dentist when he was in the National Guard. Also, he got paid.

Anyway, what does that have to do with anything now? Our President proved he was a Strong and Forceful Leader when he invaded Iraq and took out Saddam, even though attacking Iraq to root out Al Qaeda is kind of like attacking Puerto Rico to get rid of Eskimos!

The point is he was Strong and Forceful. Which proves he’s not just some spoiled, son-of-a-president-rich-kid who always gets his Daddy’s powerful friends to bail him out when screws up. He had to save himself for bigger things! If he hadn’t used his family connections to bump himself up over the 500 people who were waiting to get into the “Champagne Unit,” he might have been killed in Vietnam and at this moment, we’d probably all be kneeling toward the East and praying to Allah, and our women would be wearing burkas, all because we lost our Strong and Forceful Leader while he was serving his country!

Sometimes you just have to look at the big picture!

Sincerely,
Carl Estrada
