>>One might also point out that we hardly seemed to reap much gratitude from those whose butts we saved in the Gulf War. << We can put forces there where perhaps we couldn't have before -- Kuwait, Qatar??

He's worried that it would cost the United States not only money and lives, but also important allies This is precisely the reason that Gore's flip-flop enrages me. He spoke of having met with the Iraqi opposition, and that he proposed to do so again. The tenor of the meetings, if they were consistent with his speech to AIPAC, must have been encouraging. Now he would abandon them. Same thing with Kuwait, Qatar, and the rest of the somewhat shaky coalition in the region. If they come out and say without equivocation they are with us, and then we don't go in, we are throwing them to the wolves. I can't blame them for being nervous.
