"Hollywood" Goes to War--NOT

On the same day Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's monstrous crimes were headlined across the country, here in Illinois state Sen. Rickey "Hollywood" Hendon (Chicago, yeah) enlisted his Dem buddies to show a little non-binding resolve. Sun Times:

In a slap at President Bush, the Democratic-led Illinois Senate went on record Thursday opposing any additional troops being sent to Iraq.

"We have to send a message to Washington that it is time for us to get out," said Sen. Rickey Hendon (D-Chicago), sponsor of the resolution. "We declared victory already. We've already made it clear the weapons of mass destruction no longer exist, if they ever did, so why are we still there? It doesn't make any sense."

Perhaps Sen. "Hollywood" would rather wait until reality slaps him in the face some fine day in Chicago. What's a dirty bomb here or there. You and your Dem friends can always retreat to Springfield.

UPDATE: Sun Times:

Ever since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, Mayor Daley and Chicago Police officials have denied that the Sears Tower was a secondary target.

Now the potential threat has come up again.

Suspected Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed admitted during a military hearing at Guantanamo Bay that he was "responsible for the 9/11 operation A to Z" and that the Sears Tower was supposed to be part of a "second wave" of attacks. The plan was to blow up Sears Tower by burning a few fuel or oil tanker trucks beneath it or around it, Mohammed said.
