Jon Soltz’ giant leap

Today on VetVoice, head bomb-thrower Jon Soltz takes a giant leap in hastily assembled logic by blaming those of us who didn’t heed his warnings to support the president’s economy-killing Clean Energy bill for the floods in Pakistan;

Yes, we were warned. At VoteVets.org, those of us who served in Iraq and Afghanistan joined the fight, running ad after ad after ad supporting a Clean Energy Climate Change plan — one that gets serious about reversing global climate change. The forces of the status quo (read: “Big Oil”) won the most recent battle, by successfully delaying consideration of the bill in the Senate.

Unfortunately, for them and for us, no amount of campaign cash and lobbying will stop the coming humanitarian and national security catastrophe we’re getting a glimpse of this summer.

Is there even an iota of evidence that the floods in Pakistan were the result of “climate change”? Even more importantly, is there any evidence that passing the Clean Energy bill would have effected “climate change” in the few months that it’s been sitting in Congress?

Even the most indoctrinated climate change adherents must be shaking their heads at Soltz’ partisan rantings. No person with any measure of common sense could take such buffoonery seriously.
Yes, the Taliban and al Qaeda will try to exploit the flood with some success, but they’ll not be able to buy the loyalty of Pakistanis anymore than we can. It’s a constantly changing price tag.

Soltz is no more an expert on climate science than he is on the Iraq war. Pieces like this one are notheing more than partisan rhetoric coming from a supposedly non-partisan organization with partisan money. I wonder when VoteVets is going to get down to the business electing veterans from across the political spectrum and get off the George Soros teat.
