The criticism comes when America wants to unilaterally go beyond what the U.N. has mandated. Bush calls it a legitimate disagreement, and I agree, but many don't trust America, and some even go as far as to accuse America of old-style imperialism. Yeah, like I want Iraq as the 52nd state in the union (Canada being the 51st <VBG!!!>). I think everyone will come around when Bush announces his intent. You really can't blame anyone for not wanting to jump on board before WE make a commitment. I think the liberals just get alarmed prematurely about these matters. For example, Ted was saying it is a done deal, we're getting ready to attack, Bush felt no need to consult with Congress. There hasn't been ANY suggestion from the administration that they expect to move without approval. However, it is reasonable to expect a military buildup without approval; we've done it that way for years and will continue to. Although liberals don't "label" people as to their affiliations, it is interesting that when Clinton violated the War Powers Act against Milosevic the liberals weren't complaining -- now we have Bush just "thinking" about war and their freaking....

You supposedly hate Saddam and want him gone but you buy his oil gladly. Ray glories in his gas guzzling SUV. In the meantime, when it was suggested that Saddam may cut off his oil from us, Kudlow said no problem.........we'll take over the oil fields and dole out the 500k barrels the Iraqis need and take the rest for ourselves. And then you wonder why your party gets no respect and your motives are suspect. Look no further that Ray or Kudlow or Coulter. ted
