Maybe I can help.

I want specific information justifying why we should send an army of Americans to kill and die in Iraq.

Because Saddam agreed to disarm and he hasn't done it.

I want to know that there is no other way.

Like what? Diplomacy? Sorry, we tried that for eight years and it didn't even come close.

I want to know how long it's going to take.

Years. Remember that next time you think about voting for an incompetent liberal. They can do more damage in four (or eight) years than we can clean up in 20.

I want to know who will follow the current Iraqi regime.

It is a safe bet it will be an improvement, but we cannot know until we oust the current dictator.

I want to know what it's going to cost.

Billions.

I want to know how we will keep this from disrupting our war on terror around the world when most of the world from which we need cooperation does not support us.

This is part of the war on terror. As such, it is done in furtherance of the war on terror, NOT in disruption of it.

I want to know how we will keep other friendly Arab regimes from being toppled.

If any friendly Arab regime is attacked, we'll deal with it, just like we did with Kuwait.

These are all questions to which the adminsitration has provided ZERO answers. Does that answer your question?

There are answers to every one of these questions; they may not be to your liking; unfortunately, there are no answers which would cause you to see how awful the liberal position is.

Clinton brought us this war. Let's get it done, get over it, and get on to the next terrorist regime.

Why do we need additional information? What other information do you want and why do you want it?

You have to be the most hard headed individual on Earth.

It is intuitively obvious to an idiot why we have to take Saddam out. Bush's excellent speech at the UN crystalized it for me.

A person of average or above intellect would be forced, on hearing the speech, to conclude that we have no alternative but to remove him. I see someone like Dennis Kucinich talking and it just furthers my belief that liberals are totally incompetent in matters of foreign policy. And honestly, I cannot think of an exception.

Al,

If you reread your post, you will realize that some of your questions are really silly. One that makes sense is: "Is there no other way?", and I might add another: "Why does it have to be now?"

I haven't read Blair's document yet, which may provide some clues.
