<<The axis of evil countries are real problems and real challenges, but the first threat in the hierarchy is the terrorists, and dealing with them should take the first priority.>>. Prioriy # 1 Established early on, makes glad-handing to the UN way down the list
<<< But, as I’ve said elsewhere, it’s too late now. Our leaders, more concerned with scoring domestic political points than effectively addressing global challenges, have committed too early and placed us in a situation where we have little or no room to maneuver. Not very bright, but what can one expect>>>> Lets back up a bit to what Mr Bush said :"If you are not with us ( in fighting terrorists) you are against us", or close enough to those words Which I interpret to mean there would be no politcal manuvering involved, as there has been endlessly since 1992, and to no avail in disarming Saddam. Mr Powell, by taking the proposed action to the UN has clarified who is for or against, who will support or deter our actions, who has been mouthing pleasantries and now goes back on their words and even on their signature on support of Res 1441. Nothing but action will save Saddam. Tell Mr Blix where that 1000 tons of chemicals are, or provide proof they were destroyed. There is a very short time left to do- that the clock is counting down.
