Well they're coming out of the goddman walls now! From the Tribune again:
"CAPTAIN AMERICA IN SHOCK ANTI-BUSH STANCE
Captain America, the super-soldier and sometime leader of the Avengers, has spoken out against President George W Bush’s plans for war on Iraq. In a press conference today, the noted patriotic icon, garbed in his usual red, white and blue, declared his opposition on the grounds that any attack or invasion would be based solely on economic and imperialistic motives rather than in the interests of national security.
“I have studied much classified information through my contacts in SHIELD, and can find evidence neither of Saddam Hussein's links to al-Qaeda, nor of his intentions to wield weapons of mass destruction. I simply cannot see how anyone can believe Saddam is in any position to attack the United States of America”, he said.
The Captain quickly pointed out that Saddam did indeed pose a threat to his own people, but that “any action in the pursuit of peace in Iraq and the Middle East as a whole should be a matter ultimately decided upon by the United Nations.”
This unexpected statement follows a great deal of speculation in the press as to Captain America’s personal stance on US defence and global policy, from which he has consistently shied. However, recent unsubstantiated reports have claimed that in private conversation he has expressed continued frustration with the Bush administration, and photographic evidence shows that he may even have attended last month’s unprecedented anti-war rally in New York City." |
