Hi Skeeter Bug,

Re: thank goodness saddam doesn't have that much power.

That pretty much destroys the rest of your argument about how much of a threat Hussein poses. He's been meekly accepting the terror raining down on his air defense installations for the past 11 years without a single act of revenge. We've given him abundant justification to respond, but Hussein is not at all a suicidal madman. He knows that if he were to attack the U.S. directly that it would be the end of him and all the other Tikritis. So, from the evidence, he seems rational. As does GWB, in a very twisted way, attempting to propagandize a nation into a war frenzy, which will result in the U.S. military being used to supplant the Russians and French in business partnerships with the Iraqi regime for the Iraqi oil. Bush's plan appears to be to overthrow Huessein, install a puppet like we did in Afghanistan, void the existing Iraq contracts with non-U.S. oil companies and hand a windfall over to Exxon-Mobil, Chevron, Unocal, etc. All neatly paid for by the bamboozled American taxpayer.

Here's an excellent refutation of the miserably disingenuous speech that Bush delivered, deadpan, to the UN yesterday. The boys in the PEOC office must have been howling with glee at this tall tale.
