<<...my guess is from terrorist attack on Saudi oil terminals Al Qaeda is really pissed off at SA assistance to USForces this threat gets ZERO ATTENTION HERE, zero...>> Jw: Good point...AL Qaeda's dream come true is about to happen -- they want the United States to invade Iraq WITHOUT support from The United Nations or from some of its major Allies...It will be viewed in the Arab world as a U.S. led colonialist attack. Why is Bush willing to take this massive risk? I have friends in Kuwait (in the Rangers and Marines)...Of course they are highly trained BUT I am concerned about them just as I am concerned about the future of our country. One thousand war veterans sent a letter to Bush a few days ago... veteransforcommonsense.org These are the folks we should be listening to. This country needs to be thoughtful before we rush into a war that may not be necessary. regards, -s2 btw, the comments the other night by the highly regarded journalist Sy Hersh hit home for me... NEW YORKER COLUMNIST SY HERSH: 'NEVER SEEN MY PEERS AS FRIGHTENED' HARVARD CRIMSON - Journalist Seymour Hersh denounced the Bush administration's approach to Iraq last night after accepting the Goldsmith Career Award for Excellence in Journalism at the Kennedy School of Government's ARCO Forum. . . Hersh began his acceptance speech by portraying the difficulties that today's reporters face, especially in Washington. "I have never seen my peers as frightened as they are now," Hersh said. . . Hersh then turned his attention to the impending war with Iraq. Hersh said skepticism about a potential war is shared by many Washington insiders. "I have never seen such dissent even with three and four star generals. The war is particularly not popular with the marines," Hersh said. . . . "Congress has gotten so much dumber it's embarrassing," he said. "There has been a collapse of Congress. It's an incredible failure. A staggering failure."
