Dennis Milligan may have just said the stupidest thing ever recorded...

I had to read this quote two or three times through, because I couldn't believe what this guy said. Dennis Milligan is the chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party. The guy just gave his acceptance speech on May 19th. In his first interview, with one Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Milligan said the following (and no, this isn't a typo):

"At the end of the day, I believe fully the president is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [Sept. 11, 2001), and the naysayers will come around very quickly to appreciate not only the commitment for President Bush, but the sacrifice that has been made by men and women to protect this country."

That makes one go speechless, doesn't it? ...and not in a good sense either. I've heard both parties say in almost a cliched rhythm, "We will try to protect our country to prevent another 9/11 from occurring." Milligan travels a different route, doesn't he? "...I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [Sept. 11, 2001]..."

The worst part about it is that it makes no sense. So, let's think about this. Milligan is stating he wishes another terrorist attack occurred on American soil, so that it helped the naysayers see Bush's commitment and soldiers' sacrifice with a clearer eye. But, wait a second. If there was another 9/11-type terrorist attack on American soil, wouldn't that disprove Bush and his administration's plan and partial reasoning for the war? Bush has said numerous times, "We're going to attack them over there first so they can't attack us over here." So, if they did attack us over here, how would that prove anything but that the plan and war were failures? How would being attacked here solidify Bush and his followers' argument that the war in Iraq and the War on Terror were the correct decisions? Most importantly, why would anyone selfishly and ignorantly wish a terrorist attack to occur anywhere for a political agenda, as civilians would lay victim? Milligan may want to think (if he can do that) just a bit more next time he opens his mouth on such matters.
