Saddam is harboring Al-Qaeda insurgents RIGHT NOW, primarily Kurds, who were formerly based in Afghanistan.

Thus, this falls within the mandate of the congressional authorization issued as a result of 9/11.

Case closed.

"That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.'

Is the US government contemplating declaring war on itself ? John Walker Lindh....

The case is closed when evidence is offerred and proof is agreed upon.

As for diminishing the 'tragedy' caused by the attacks, you're drawing a fine semantic line to put words into my mouth and claim intents I do not have.

Without responding to my question.
