OK, here's the question: How many hours has this new strategy for war, or even the war itself, been debated in the United States Senate?

From day one of that Joint Resolution PT..

And btw, I'm just not going to continue being your Political Science professor here.. It's getting late and I'm getting tired..

Center your arguments around the facts instead of trying to arrange the facts around your argument...

We have the authorization to use force from congress (which was debated extensively, with the view of it being a pre-emptive attack without UN approval)..

We have suspicions that Saddam would be willing to use terrorist groups as "attack dogs" to carry out attacks against the US (and may have played a role in 9/11, according to Czech intelligence)..

We KNOW that Saddam has supported and harbored terrorist such as Abu Nidal, Abu Abbas and others who have targeted and killed Americans.

We have a 15-0 UN resolution declaring Saddam in material breach..

We have given Saddam several months to do what should only require no more than a week.. Lay everything out and have it accounted for, and if required, destroyed.

We have Hans Blix continuing to tell us that the Iraqis remain intransigent on basic requirements of cooperation and compliance...

And we have 250,000 American soldiers grinding down the crowns of their teeth because of all the dust they're having to eat (along with their T-Rations) waiting for the CinC to give the word.

Do you think talk is going to solve this problem PT?? Because we've had 12 years of nothing but talk and it ain't done sh*t...
