there's a lot of rhetoric and speculation going on here
fighting over unsubstantiated rumors and innuendo, some ridiculous
the fact is, America does not like or trust Saddam Hussein and as unfortunate as it is, he is the leader of Iraq
nor should we trust him - he has long factual history of violence, aggression, repression, bullying, lies, denial and use of biochemical weapons
he is a loose canon in a volatile part of the world
from his history and his actions, his word carries very little if any weight
after the tragedy 9/11, with terrorism acted out in our own country, we simply cannot afford to allow Saddam Hussein to be a loose cannon any longer, he is too dangerous, too volatile
so, we have put the pressure on - we have demanded he step down - we have demanded he not have the capability of weapons of mass destruction
to stop him from playing his age old game of dodge and serpentine [at which he is expert] - we have upped the stakes - we are telling him and the world, in no uncertain term we mean business this time
we are not war mongers - our leaders are not war mongers - we do not want to see people killed
we have given this man, hence his country, years to comply with the terms of his defeat in the Gulf War - a war I might add he brought on by invading an oil rich neighbor and putting the entire world at risk for economic chaos - we have been more than patient
we will not be bullied - nor buy into his talking out of both sides of his mouth any longer - we can't afford to do that
we've had enough
he is being called on the carpet
his day has come
his clock has run out
his time is up
payment due
it all boils down to, he either produces or pays
bottom line |
