You think that Qatar, a country slightly smaller than Connecticut, with a population of less than a million, is a significant neighbor, in the military sense, of either Iraq or Afghanistan? Jesus weeps. All they are is a base.

Yes, all they are is a base -- our base. So what else do we need? Do we need actual military assistance? No. Haven't you been claiming we can't go because we don't have bases? Now Qattar is no good because it's a base? Make up your mind, for pete's sake. This is like your argument that we can't defeat Iraq except at high cost because it's so big and advanced but we can't rebuild it because it's so primitive.

Bush #43 who's seeing support for another attack on Iraq decline.

The Pew poll is from last week. Support is rising again now that Bush is making his case.

you need to admit that Saudi Arabia hasn't allowed us to move hundreds of thousands of soldiers (none of this 3,000 soldier BS) into their territory, LOL!!! The difference with the Kuwaiti liberation is clear.

Yes, the Saudis were more scared of Saddam last time around. However, my money says our aircraft will be flying out of Prince Sultan AFB. After all, they did in the big air raid last week.
