Appreciated your talk from the soapbox this AM, LB. If someone does view you as a "super hawk", it does say something about where they come from, doesn't it?
But hey! We can look at one bright side, eh? 6 (that's SIX ) months and counting at the UN, and nothing constructive has happened.
Because the US has spent all sorts of money to date getting our Military and equipment to the ME, Saddam now (after 12 years) has destroyed....what...about 50 missiles?
We don't know as yet where he has trucked the BWMD and CWMD off to....or do we? Personally, I think we do know much more than we can say, and that is why this Administration is so adamant on solving the problem, one way or the other.
Too bad all the anti-war protesters couldn't/wouldn't/didn't go over there, and tell Saddam they were coming to take him to exile, and were there to help him pack. I'm sure he would have gone willingly, aren't you? "Look Mom....No War!!!" could have been the rallying cry. But no guts, no glory.
Some of us have been around long enough to realize that "Happily Ever After Land" doesn't really exist unless there are brave souls to help make it that way.
As the picture of what the Administration planned to do emerged, I was happy to see they felt the same way and were planning to take a world wide approach to getting the Terrorists, those that harbored them, and Rogue States that threatened us. |
