it's not going to be pissing away the advantage of surprise
You are so inconsistent. You've been saying for months that, if we were going to war, we'd have a huge buildup like we did for Desert Shield. That took months, and there was no element of surprise.
Which reminds me, half the time you argue that war with Iraq will be horrible because they are so formidable and will fight so hard, and half the time you argue that they are no threat, what are we worried about? "Ridiculous" to worry about Iraq as a military threat, I believe was your expression.
Please realize I am not paraphrasing your arguments precisely, I am rephrasing them in a facetious manner, because I find it amusing to do so. But I do find your arguments very internally inconsistent.
Take, for example, your arguments about "what would we do if Saddam put a nuke in a US city?" I wasn't in the mood to discuss it, but the answer is that we won't negotiate. Not as long as Dubya is president. We can't.
I was reminded of this today when I read about the little 11-year-old son of a German banker who was found murdered after his parents paid $1 million ransom to his kidnappers. If you capitulate, it won't do you any good, and it will never end. |
