<<I wonder if you - or anyone - could link me to any credible argument justifying the pursuit of a war against Iraq. >> If and it's an if, the US hits Iraq they arguments will be made public then.

The only rationale I've heard is that Iraq is getting closer to having weapons of mass destruction and that, once they have them, they will use them against us or sell them to someone who will. Sorry, I don't have a handy reference. Karen

From Bush's press conference today: Bush Issues Harsh Words on Iraq 'I am Deeply Concerned About Iraq,' President Says Combined Wire Reports Wednesday, March 13, 2002; 5:59 PM In a wide-ranging press conference Wednesday, President Bush focused on how to handle the ongoing violence in the Mideast, as well as the war against terrorism, saying at one point that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is a problem and "we are going to deal with him." "I am deeply concerned about Iraq," Bush told a White House news conference. "This is a nation run by a man who is willing to kill his own people . . . a man who won't let inspectors into the country . . . He is a problem and we're going to deal with him." Bush said Vice President Cheney was traveling in the Middle East "reminding people about this danger and that we need to work in concert to confront this danger." As he has in the past, Bush said the United States will consult with its allies. "We will share our views of how to make the world more safe with regards to Iraq." Bush also said his administration has "all options on the table" as the Pentagon reworks its nuclear weapons policy to deter any attack on America – including from non-nuclear states such as Iraq and Iran. The U.S. nuclear arsenal is "a way to say to people who would harm America: 'Don't do it,"' Bush said. "We've got all options on the table because we want to make it very clear to nations that you will not threaten the United States or use weapons of mass destruction against us or our allies or friends."
